CHICAGO. FOB 17.-Marvin Hart
will have an opportunity next Thurs
day night, at Los Angeles. to demon
strate how greatly he has improved
during the past few months under the
tutelage of Tommy Ryan.
One Tommy Burns has kindly con-
sented to act as the subject of the
demonstration. and it behoOves Mar
vim, if he desires TO continue 10 pose
as the worlds champion pugilist, tc
make short work of this audacious up
start.
On form, dope, past performances,
and everything else, Hart should win
very easily from Burns. The latter has
= fought right along as middleweight.
although he expects TO weigh about
so pounds when he faces the Ken
tuckian. the added poundage being due
to the weight-increasinx effect that the
wonderful California climate always
has upon Eastern fighters, Even at
<lat weight, Hart will Overtop Burns
something like twenty pounds.
Nothing to 1t.
Really. there seems to be nothing to
1t, other than Hart wanted 10 inaug-
urate his coast campaign with some
thing sure and safe, and Burns OBJ
Iigingly offered himself for sacrifice
Hart. however. will strike several
tougher snags than Burns On his trip
TO the championship. Jack O'Brien Will
never yield his claim TO the title with
out fierce struggle, and there are
many who believe that he can whip big
Marvin just as easily as he did Fitz-
simmons--possibly with less difficulty.
Then there is young Kaunmann, who IL
undoubtedly conner and who Will put
up an awful battle with little more
experience and confidence. Thursdays s
battle, however, will give us something
of line on the husky young Souther
ner's present ability and possibly he
may spring surprise

withhold any further statement regard

trouble is that TancI and Howard. in
their afhdavits. went so far as to even
charge Walter Liginger. president of
the Central district OF the A. A L.
with being cognizant of the fact that
Tancl and other boys had been receiv-
ing pay for their appearances at last
fan amateur Journeys That was going
little too far and the instant need

desired.
