PHILADELPHIA
IN READINESS
WILL ENDEAV0R TO STOP TRIO
TONIGHT
Diversity Of Opinion Exists Regarding
the Ability Of o'erIen to
Knock Out All
Three

| ing TO care Tor the tripletS, Iremble,
Browne and Turk, at Maud Junction
pavilion. Although Jack is very fond
OF the trio he has refused to allot them
more than six rounds at the most.
Jawn has a Greek lesson on Immediate
ly' after the doings are over and the
tutor is very cranky regarding prompt
ness.
Consequently OBrien cannot waste
any time and will endeavor to dispose
of the boys with all possible expedl-
ency. He has promised to turn the
trick neatly and induce sweet slumber
ir the quickest manner possible. The
Turk says he Is never sleepy at night
| time and could not take nap If he
chose. The others chime in along the
same lines.
Jack, however. assures them that he
will tuck everybody in before leaving
! the pavilion. Naturally the trio are
rejoicing in the kindly promises of Mr..
O 'Brien and will be there on time to
experience new sensations.
About the streets yesterday many
expressed themselves as satisfied that
| O'Brien could not possibly stop the
three men in question. O'Brien will
not suffer an immediate financial loss
should he fail to turn the trick. He
| IL too clever for that and whatever
the outcome Jack will be allowed an
amount agreed upon beforehand. 1t
would seem, however, as though
o 'Brien will endeavor to fulfill his con-
| tract.
| Whatever popular opinion might be
regarding the wiseness of the arrange
ment O'Brien, from a business stand
point. will not lose by putting his men
away. Every move of the Philadel-
phian from now on until the time of
| his second battle with Tommy Burns
will be closely watched and stored for
doping purposes.
Mccarey Says No
AS usual thee stories of fixed" af-
fair have been going the rounds,
though such may always be expected.
1t would be impossible to convince
some that O'Brien had not come to
an agreement with at least one or two
of his opponents. There is no partc-
uiar reason, however, to believe that
such has been the case.
| O'Brien realizes that 1t would not be
difficult for spectators to probe a fake
once the men started going. OBrien
could, If sent against a man of his
own class, feign very cleverly. His
opponents, however, are not construct
ed with the same degree of brain
power and would probably make a
mess of things if they attempted to
! lie down.
Tom McCarey, judging from his ex-
preston, places no faith in OBrien S
ability. So far as can be remembers
this is the first time McCarey has in
any way predicted the outcome of a
Maud Junction affair and those who
believe that Tom should know possess
an opportunity of profiting.
The Pacific Athletic club manager
has taken strong exception to intima.
tions that O'Brien will have an easy
time and claims a surprise will be ir
order. McCarey has been very care.
full thus far to avoid making move
which would injure prize fighting and
will not admit but that O'Brien is in
for the time of his life. A suggestion
to Tom that he is kidding will result
in decisive protest.
McCarey is not the only one who
says that O'Brien is to meet snag
Each of the three opponents have a
coterie of friends who will point out
that their idol has no chance of being
stopped within a period of six rounds
George Browns adherents can tel
you that George possesses the clever
ness to stay away for scheduled time
and not sustain much punishment
According to such an eminent author
ity as Kid Dalton there is nothing to it
LIE hlu duNlSeu bTOWn as IOllOWi
yesterday:
Let me wise yu to one ting. DE-
guy what pipes eff O'Brien on de buglt
brings home de coin. O'Rrien gets q
operation on his nose every day in d,
week. and kick in de smeller will
put him to de bad. JUS t'ink of what
l hand yu, Brown, and when de goint
is fast, lead for de beak."
Probably Mr.. O'Brien will be more
or less careful of his nasal appendagt
this evening. though barring an acci
dent he will come away unscathed
Jack should be able to land at will OIL
his opponents, all of whom can reacl
the other. Turk has been seen trying
vainly to come within a mile of the
Philadelphian's head without success
during O'Brien's training days.
; After a six round preliminary be
, tween Jimmy Hanlon and Kid Barry
the Turk will enter. So soon as h.
, is through Tremble will come on
Brown is to have the advantage O
last crack at O'Brien.
Little betting was manifest yester
: day on the Manning match
; coin placers evidently wishing to hole
out until the last moment.
