The variations possible before

O'Brien and Tommy Burns or Tor tnat

weights is lending unusual zest TO tne

Burns and Jim Flynn acting as prin-

with having used his noodle during the
mast week when he SO arranged the
situation that a clear line may be
drawn upon the present capabilities Oh
the rlngsters who are just now occu-
nving the limelight. 1t is true tnat
McCarey has not signed OBrien Tor
what might be termed an important
battle, Judging from present conditions.
No one has much idea what Cooley
nav acconplish against his clever op-
ponent.
The fact that McCarey has secured
O'Brien's a agreement to show Los Ange-
les followers of the game what ne can
do is a predominating feature OF the
present situation.
with Burns and Flynn matched there
was no chance of signing O'Brien ana
Tommy until the affair had been decid-
ed The Philadelphian however mas
GAINED new friends by his willingness
to 20 on with Cooley. OF course there
are those who will say that the foxy
Quaker is out again for easy game
There is absolutely no Foundation Tor
such charge.
O'Brien is sincere in his desire to ap-
near in Los Angeles and would have
signed with Burns in a moment had
there been an opening for him to do SO.
viii Do His Best
The question was put to OBrien
early last week of whether or not ne
would be willing to meet any fast man
that could be secured.
"Iet me alone for that" remarked
Jack. II want to appear in Los An
gees and have people judge me on
my merits. 1t doesn't seem as thougn
Burns and myself can be matched un-
iii after his 90 with Flynn, but l am
going to appear at Maud junction If
can possibly secure an opponent"
A few hours later and the news was
given out that he had made an agree
Inent with Cooley
IT IS easily to be seen that If O'Brien
shows the class for which he has been
given credit in his coming go, future
attraction with the Philadelphian as a
principal could not fail to tax the pa
yilion's capacity O'Brien makes no
bones about realizing this fact and
without doubt will do his best.
story has been circulated to the
effect that Cooley broke an engage
ment with AL Kaufmann in order to
take on O'Brien, Cooley had been
matched with Kaufmann, but the affair
was called off before O'Briens pro-
posal had been made.
1t has been said that O'Brien has
agreed to stop Cooley or forfeit his end
of the receipts. This statement is not
true. Speaking of the affair O'Brien
said:
"I am going to do the best can. but
whether I stop Cooley is another queS-
ton"
The championship situation appeals
more to OBrien's sense of humor than
it does to his boxing instincts. O'Brien
says he has lost more money since GER
tain persons dubbed him champion
than ever before in his life.
Visit Training Quarters
Automobiles galore whizzed out to
the training quarters of Burns and
Flynn yesterday. The consensus of
opinion is that Flynn has decidedly
wicked punch, ana is quick at denver
ing it. Spectators in the vicinity of
the bag yesterday received a shock
when the leather gave away and went
hurtling like a small sized torpedo
about the room.
A favorable indications is that Flynn
fairly revels in his work and there is
apparently no chance of his being stale
A close observation Thursday after
noon developed the fact that Flynn
was breathing rather hard between
rounds and it is not thought that he was
bluffing for the purpose of puzzline
form readers. 1t is known that the
Flynn supporters are waiting for better
than the 1913 odds which at present
mark the betting.
If Flynn's wind shows bad he will
have a difficult time, as Burns is II
great condition. Tommy has trained
for the last five motnhs, though he ha.
not overdone his work.
There is prevailing sentiment tha'
Indian Joe has large proposition OIL
his hands in attempting to stop jim
Tremble and the Terrible Turk. %
