BOXERS PREPARE
FOR THE RING
NEARY MAKES A FAVORABLE
IMPRESSION
Jim TrembIe Will Assist Tommy
Burns and Attell May Work with
Memsic-o'Brien Follows
Regular Routine

That pictures are to form a feature
of the coming O'Brien-Burns match
was evidenced TO a certainty yesterday
when Tom McCarey forwarded a $25O0
check to Miles Bros. of San Francisco,
who will haye charge of the films.
An expense of between eleven and
twelve thousand dollars is entailed in
the picture venture, one-third of which
will be borne by MeCarey, Burns and
OBrien. After the battle the profits
will also be equally divided. O'Brien
expressed an opinion that he should be
entitled TO some margin so far as
Burns was concerned, but decided to
leave the consideration to the discre-
ton of McCarey. McCarey holds that
both men should receive an equal por-
tion of the receipts, and all returns
will be divided according to his version.
O'Brien has been in the past criti-
cised somewhat for, his frank state
ments that he should be regarded as
more of an attraction than his op-
ponents. The fact, however, that
O'Brien is a manager as we'll as prin-
cipal should be considered 1t is a
question IL Bat Nelson would be buy
ing real estate in the vicinity of Heges-
wisch if the italian hand of Billy No
Ian had not played prominent part
in his ring undertakings.
Minus a skilled business director, the
Dane might be wondering where all the
money contingent upon his champion
ship affairs had disappeared. Had
O'Brien a manager he would not be un-
der the necessity of putting his own
side of the proposition forward in such
decisive terms. AS it is, however, the
Philadelphian never allows an oppor-
tunity to escape of securing the best
terms possible.
Modesty is all very we'll in it's place,
but a ringster managing himself cam
not we'll afford to let others do his
boosting. AT that O'Brien has dis
played a very fair disposition to let
every one have his share since arriving
in Los Angeles.
Tommy Burns and George Memsic
are putting in some very busy hours
at Long Beach, and according to ad-
vices from the camp Abe Attell is to
aid Memsic in his training. Manager
O'Connor, who is looking after Burns,
said yesterday that Attell had consent
ed to work with Memsic Jim Trimbe
is also to become member of the
Burns-MemSic camp, and will give
Tommy much of the rough work which
O'Brien's opponent deems necessary
Jim is not only strong but fairly fast,
and no better sparring partner could
be secured hereabouts for the husky
Tommy. Should Attell work with
Memslc, the latter will enjoy oppor-
| tunities of becoming faster on his feet
and with the gloves.
A large crowd of local dopesters vis-
tied Neary at his Arcadia quarters yes
terday afternoon and appeared very
favorably impressed with the Milwau-
kee whirlwind's tactics. Neary is a
borer in from the word go, and gave
Eddie Toy no end of toll yesterday.
The fact that Neary squelched Her.
rera to a red brown at Milwaukee was
sufficient to give him a rosy place in
the estimation Of Los Angeles ring sup
porters, and the boy shows that his
victory was not in the nature of a
| fluke.
Memsic must needs trip a fast meas
ure If he succeeds in stopping the
| brewer.
Jack O'Brjen does not believe that
heavy training is suited for his compo-
sition, though he is preparing for
Burns as If his life depended upon the
outcome, and daily takes his run and
works with the pulleys.
These who witnessed the Quaker at
work on the Chutes park grounds re-
mraked upon the simplicity of his
training, and II appears as though Jack
realizes perfectly the methods which
can bring him to his best.
