and Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. scheduled
for Los Angeles in May. will be declared
OF in order 10 let Burns make b. match
with BIZ Squires, the Australian cham
pion. who is on his way 10 this coun-
try.
When the Pacific Athletic Club. Of Los
Angeles. took on the O'Brien-Burns mill
it is said that It was part of a plan to
force one of the frenzied Nevada clubs
to make a higher bid than $4,000.
But as the Nevada people got cold feet,
the Lost Angeles club had 10 accept the
fight to keep up appearances. Now comes
word that the Los Angeles manager, real
izing that another OBrien-Burns mill
would not draw enough gate money to
make up the full value of the purse.
has decided to throw O'Brien over.
Burns. regarded as o'Brien's master,
stands Well with the Los Angeles club,
hence the proposed match with Squires.
II Burns should beat Squires the Los An
geles club, ii is said, has received as
surances from Jeffries that he will ac-
oept a reasonable purse 10 fight Burns
for the heavyweight title
Burns was in town to-day and prac-
tically said that he would be tIe first
to tackle Squires when he arrives.
Squires. il will be remembered, eabled re

would post a $500 forfeit here TO meet
any white man in the United States.

II Melody will not meet him. Ryan
states that he will tackle Joe Thomas,

at I5S, all Of these battles 10 go to a
finish. Incidentally. Ryan expresses a
willingness 10 fight Hugo Kelly at once
for the middle-Weight title. Some Of the
Nevada clubs. instead Of wasting time
trying 70 match inferior pugiists. might
do well to get after one Of these matches
in which Ryan wants to figure as a prin-
cipal.
Jimmy Walsh. Of Boston. who was
recently knocked out by Abe Attel, has
just laid claim 10 the title Of bantam

will defend the title at ll6 pounds, and
that nobody is barred. Walsh decided

Oklahoma City, April 29.
Do you think that it would be en-
tirely proper 60 have Oklahoma, the
new state, represented at the James
bown exposition by nothing but a
aWld West Show?" Don't you really
think it would be well to mix things
up generally for the benefit Of the
people Of the new state who have tie

fare of the state at heart?
Miller Brothers Of the 101 Ranch

show and when Miller Bros. claim
their show is a wild west show there
is no possibility Of a doubt about it
They have one hundred Of the greas
lest squaws and Fticks in the two ter
ritories, half hundred Of the "trip
roaringist" cow punchers Of the Eek
type and these with few shaggy i
fed buffalo and some playful but mis-
guided steers will advertise Okla

He is also county attorney Of Gree

Of regents Of the State Normal schoo
His report Of the situation at james
