O'Brien and Berger Discuss
Their Future Plans.
Philadelphia Jack Thinks the
Californian Is Fast.
WANTS A 20 ROUND GO.
Beger Has Offer to " Nix /" With
COffroth in August.
O'Brlen Will Go on Tour to
Australia and England.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 20.-s.Phila-
delphia jack O'Brien has thoroughly
recovered his equilibrium and imme-
diately launched forth into a long
statement of his opinion of Sam
Berger. His first remark was a rich
compliment to the ambitious young
Californian.
There was some talk" said O'Brien,
that this fellow Berger's gameness
was an unknown quantity before we
serapped. Anybody who saw that
fight ought to now be convinced that
the question is settled. Berger is
very formidable opponent for any
man, and he has already graduated
from the amateur stage to the profess
sional ranks.
Il met a very great man when
fought him. With a fair amount Of
experience Berger ought to become
very good. I want to meet him in
twenty round bout, and that will give
us a much better idea of how we COM
pare.
II am glad that Berger put up SO
good fight, because it means that the
next time we meet there will be
crowded house, and that is what / am
after"
1t will come as a surprise to many
to learn that philadelphia jack has
arranged a long programme for him
self up to next March. He has already
completed a deal whereby he is to go
to Australia to meet Bill Squires, the
Australian heavyweight champion. A
purse of $4,000 has been offered for
the match, and O Brien has been guar
anteed $1,000 for his travelling ex-
penses. The fight is to come off in
November, but O'Brien Will start on
the trip some time during August He
Will go first to San Francisco, and
thence to the Orient, stopping in many
places on his way.
by this means" said o Brien,
hope to combine pleasure with bust
ness"
Jack waxed eloquent over the offers
he had received from England.
Il got an offer from that English
man who came over here-I forget his
fights in the British Isles. The purse
for each of these is 1000 sterling or
$4,000. The fights are to be held in
January, February and March, 1917,
and as I will have time them 1 viii
probably take a run over there tosget
them. Jack Palmer, Gunner Moir and
Jim Driscoll are the men who this
Englishman is matching me with.
six rounds were too short for that
Berger fight said Jack, suddenly
changing the subject i am going to
give him another chance after return
from my travels, but we will have 20
rounds then.
Il was surprised with Berger's
showing, because I thought I was the
best of all the six-round fighters"
O'Brien's left eye was neatly deco
rated with plaster. The cut that Berg
err gave him in the second round was a
deep one. and three stitches were put
in the wound in the Howard hospital
after the fray. O'Brien maintained
that Berger had not hit him.

From the Kansas CITY Journal: one
of the closest and fastest races in or
ganized baseball this season is the race
in Doc Shively's Western Association,
where little over 100 points divide the
leaders from the cellar champions. IN
the Shively league the real article of
baseball Is being played this season. The
league was fast last year, when Wich-
tia won the pennant with a team com
posed of players who had done service
in the higher classes. and some Of whom
are this season up with the higher class
teams again. This season it is even
faster than last, and the last years
champions are now fuctuating between
the seventh and eighth places. changing
almost every other day with the former
ST. Joseph aggregation for the cellar
championship Shively's league is prov
ing a great feeder for the major leagues
and so far his good material has been
closely watched. He lost number of
the best players after last season and
more of the players of this season have
already been contracted for by major
league teams. LeavenWorth, the bunch
that was touted to win the pennant in
the early season dope. is now resting
in the sixth place after leading. the
league during the early days of this
month. The Leavenworth team hit the
toboggan rapidly and their downfall
was alomst as disastrous as the
recent losing feats of the Kansas City
MiSfltS. Topeka, with the eX-maj Or
player and monologuist, Dick Cooley,
at the helm, is making a stiff race for
the pennant and present indications are
that Topeka and Oklahoma City will be
among the top notehers when the last
bugle call is made. On the Topeka team
is a Kansas City product Steve Ragan,
who has been setting the league afire.
Raglan was signed by Topeka last year
off the Kansas City sand lots He is a
tall, ungainly youth and his preliminary
work last season was far from salts
factory. Steve made rather an awk-
ward appearance in his first games and
fears We're entertained that he would
spike himself in most every exhibition.
The Kaw youth has picked up wonder
fully he is fielding like an oldtimer and
keeping pace with the best hitters.
Steve's days in the Shively league are
likely to be numbered by the length
Of the present season.

A Wichita dispatch says: Judge T.

a temporary injunction to the Wichita
Baseball company today, restraining
former Manager William Kimmel from
entering the ball park. Previous to
the sale of the Wichita franchise to its
present holders Manager Kimmel pur-

agreement in the past alone covered
the possession Of this property by the
baseball association. He erected
barbed wire fence yesterday upon his
property line cutting off access to the
club house and to the waterworlks sys-

vacate on other terms than the sale of
the property at what was declared by
the local company to be an exorbitant
price. A city ordinance barring barbed
wire fences from within the city limits
resulted in the removal of the wire by
the owner. Before fencing Of pre-
scribed nature could be substituted the
injunction was served. The absence Of
the district judge from the city for
period of two months will prevent a
hearing of the proceedings until utter
