TRAINING PLACE
MAKES A BRIEF VISIT TO THE
ANGEL CITY
Gives Evidence Of Work at the Con.
doIs Town and Again Repeats
That He Is Confident
Of Winning

For the first time since starting
training at Venice, Jack O'Brien came
to the city Saturday evening and
spent yesterday with his mother and
sister, accompanying them on an auto
mobile trip to Pasadena.
Although Il has been claimed that
the Philadelphian is taking things easy
at the gondola station 1t is plainly evil
dent that he has been working effect
lively. His face Is trifie drawn
though far from presenting worn APP
pearance.
Always in good condition, it will be
no difficult task for OBrien to attain
form and the crafty Quaker is taking
no chances. If anyone realizes just
how dangerous Burns may loom up
that one is Jack OBrien, and to that
end he will run no risks.
When asked yesterday as to what
he really thought the outcome would
be he replied:
IT am supremely confident of winning
and never reflect upon the possibilities
of losing, other than that 1 will leave
nothing undone which may assist me.
1t would do me no good to think that
Burns had a chance and consequently
don't let things like that bother me-"
O'Brien's view of the situation Is
rather convincing. He is not boast
ing about what he intends to do which
is also a wise factor of his campaign.
Tommy Burns will enter Maud juno
tion pavilion trained to perfection, and
the reckoning between the two men
should be sufficient to make the moving
