The Philadelphia continues to be an
8 to 10 favorite, though Burns money
was flowing very plentiful all yester-
day. Betting men appear confident that
there will be little if any change in the
prevailing odds.
Tommy Burns as he looked yester-
day is heavier than before by at least
several pounds. According to the Cam
adian he will enter the ring at 1S0
pounds. Whether the extra avordupois
will benefit Tommy or hinder him re-
mains to be seen. though he seems
faster than at any other time in his
career.
Especially among the incoming east
erners is O'Brien a favorite. Many
have not seen Burns in action and can
scracely believe that the Philadelphia
ans equal has sprung up in the last
two years, despite the remarkable bat
tie that occurred between the two men
previously.
AL Greenewald's cigar stand was the
scene of a constant file of ticket pur-
chasers yesterday and every indication
points to a record breaking house.
