O'BR|EN TO- WIN
BY JAMES j. CORBETT

too clever for Burns, and my con-
illusions are from the only impor-
tant contest Burns ever fought.
That was his fight with Hart, ana
If my memory serves me right, it
was hugging match, as Burns
was simply hugging and pulling
Hart around the ring. AS Hart is
not a very clever boxer, he could
not get at Burns at all, but with
O'Brien | am sure Burns will find
a man that understands what to
do when a man refuses to stand
up and box, but is always hugging.
l don't know how they agreed to
box, but If they have agreed to
break away clean and no hugging
think O'Brien will make Burns
look foolish If they agree to hit
on the breakaway Burns may lin
ger along for some time.
However, to give my ideas in g
nutshell, think O'Brien will bear
Burns easly-maybe not knock
him clean out, but will best him
sure.
