SAN FRANCISCO. June Is. - Tbs
hrst step toward advertising the Inde-
pendence day bout between Australian
Bill Squires and Tommy Burns was
taken at Shannon S in San Rafael few
days since. On a platform which had
been erected in the open air for the
sole purpose Of having the Antipodean
champion box with Jimmy Britt the
clever lightweight. in order to have
moving pictures taken Of the two ring
gIadiators in action, the Californian and
his heavier antagonist went at IL ham,
mer and tones for three rounds. There
was lots Of action TO the go, and the
pictures should serve to bring the Aus
tralian 8 styie before the public prior
to his initial ring engagement in this
country. Of course, Squires couldn't
use any force or power TO his blows
against such a light adversary, but the
crowd which hnd gathered to witness
the free exhibition was well repaid for
their trip. II is Coffroth S intention to
have these moving pictures displayed in
all the important towns throughout the
State, as he thinks it Will not only be-
novel means OF advertising the con-
test, but an interesting one as WELL
Before doDning tho gloves with Britt,
Squires did a little rope-skippiug,
shadow boxing and calisthenic work be-
fore the camera in order 10 show his
Well-muscled arms and shoulders
Nat Goodwin, the comedian, was an
interested visitor at Squires s training
quarters and as he has ALWAYS fol-
lowed the game closely, his opinion after
seeing him work out i'll the gymnasium
! will prove of interest 10 the fans gen
! orally, Said Goodwin why, that fell
low is liable to be arrested for man man
slaughter. If he goes into the ring
with some Of these heavyweight as
pirants he ii kill them sure. He GER
! tajnlY looks good to me- In fact. I have
never been so favorably impressed with
4 big man in training.
Reynolds Lining Up Men.
! Barney Reynolds, the manager OF Bill
Squjres, went TO Tonopah TO see the
| fight between Marvin Hart and Mike
| Schrcck III order to get d line on the
| American heavies. Tommy Burns has
taken mp his training quarters at Hsr-
bin Springs. where Jcffries always got
into condition for his ring engage
ments. Billy Woods and Jimmy Burns
Will be his sparrlng partners, and when
I Bob Ward reaches here from Quebec,
the Canadian Will also endeavor TO Sc
cure HIM. Ward is Just the proper style
of a fighter to train with for AN op-
poncnt like Squires, and he. no doubt,
will be glad Of the opportunity to work
out with Burns, as he VIII in all proba-
bility be rematched with Al Kaufman,
and little preparatory work with
such an experienced boxer should provo
OF considerable help to him
Burns looks to be in fine condition
now, but he will keep on edge by good
stiff exercise until a week or or ten
| days prior 10 independence day, when
he will move his quarters closer TO the
scene of action. He SAYS he selected
Ilarbin Springs because il is so we'll
equipped with training appliances,
which were especially installed for JEFF
fries, and he probably figures that, in
asmuch as he will ill JEFF S place at
the springs, he will eventually ill his
shoes in the heavyweight field
