BURNS ADVISED
BY NJ DONALD
TOMMY HAS GREAT TRAINER
TO ASSIST HIM
Jim Jeffries viii Visit Jack o'Brien
This Afternoon and Issue lnstruc-
tions-Will Talk With
Burns Tomorrow

Jim Jeffries will hold sway at Venice
this afternoon and Jack o'Brien must
give his regular tutor the go-by for a
while and harken to a few lessons from
Jim. JEFF may not be strong on the
classics and few other student pas
times, but he holds q trunlkful of de-
grees of his ring knowledge
With Tom McCarey, Jeffries will
travel to the Philadelphian's quarters
and there impart to Jack just what he
intends to have observed next Wednes-
day evening. Although the articles
have been studied by both men, Jim,
following the usual rule preceding great
pugilistic battles, wishes to have an
exact understanding with both princi-
pals. To morrow he will visit Burns at
Long Beach and tell Tommy what shall
be expected of him.
Nothing out of the ordinary occurred
at either camp yesterday beyond the
usual steady grind of training. In
Frank Mcdonald, who trained Joe
Cans, Burns possesses a past master
IN the art Of conditioning men for the
ring. Frank has never stood for dila-
tory tactics, and in Burns has a man
who causes not the slightest trouble.
A little incident which occurred at
Greenewald's cigar stand Tuesday
evening, however, brought McDonald's
attitude to the front Tommy was
lounging over the counter, apparently
enjoying q brief respite from training
affairs. He had come to town on a
matter of business and was discussing
the Forthcoming battle with a number
of friends. Mcdonald spied him and
grew uneasy.
s''Well, Tommy" said Frank, what
are you waiting for?"
"Oh, nothing in particular" quoth
Thomas.
"Then you'd better trot along home.
1t is getting late"
Tommy is not given to minding much
what people say under ordinary cir
cumstances and flushed slightly as Nc
Donald bid him skidoo. Although the
hour lacked Burns said good night
and hailed Long Beach cars
AS a trainer Mcdonald probably has
no peer in the country, and Burns is
extremely fortunate in possessing the
husky fellows services. The condition
in which Frank sent George Memsic to
the fray when he defeated Charlie
Neary was remarked by all at the ring
side. Before he started for Maud juno
ton pavilion Memsic was heard to say:
81 could eat an electric car just now"
Burns is naturally of a powerful
physique, and with McDonald's assist
ance should be a marvel of physical
Burns manager, O'Connor, is au-
thority for the statement that Tommy
will place $4,000 on his own chances.
Speaking of the affair yesterday morn
ing OConnor said
I'VE hope that any one who has ever
been Burns friend will back him
heavily. Tommy will surely bring home
the money and will head betting pro-
ceSsion that he wins. For weeks we
a Gi hot fnr
O'Brien and he refused to cover it.
That ought to show who has the conf
dence.
Little 2-1 money was in sight yester-
day and what coin could be found at
those odds was covered in amazingly
quick fashion. Burns supporters will
probably hold out as long as they can
in an effort to secure the best condi-
tions possible.
Manager McCarey commented favor
ably yesterday upon the disposition Of
many who have been in the habit of re-
ceiving complimentary tickets to Maud
Junction affairs. A general realization
that enormous expense is involved has
caused somewhat of halt in demand
for passes and McCarey is not back
ward in expressing his deepest appre-
citation.
Pass hunters have been a bane Nn
the past and apparently there are many
who believe that while they pay good
money to witness theatrical perform
ance they should walk into a ring en-
tertainment for the asking.
Those who wish the fve-dollar seats
are warned to secure their tickets
promptly, as 1t will be impossible to en-
tirely prevent scalping. Pacific Athletic
club officials intend making every ef-
fort to protect patrons, but a surety
exists that some one will get away with
an extra consignment unless the tick
cts go quickly.
Maud Junction pavilion will be open
this morning, where all who desire res
ervations in favorite sections may pick
out their seats. Some little uncertainty
has arisen regarding whether the battle
is to occur Thursday next, as original
ly announced, or Wednesday. Date has
been set for next Wednesday evening,
November 2S.
Those who have attended battles
where moving pictures were taken will
remember that heat from the lights
was intense. This disagreeable feature
will be entirely done away with in the
coming affair, as the Cooper Hewitt
lights disburse no torridness
