BRITT TRAINING HARD.

Jimmy Britt is evidently sincere in
his desire to meet Battling Nelson or
Joe Cans in the near future in San
Francisco. I have just heard from
the little Champion" as Bright Eyes
Krelling calls him, and he is at San
Rafael with Squires, training harder
than ever for his coming bout, or
bouts, as the matter may turn out
to be.
There is one thing about Jimmy that
is to be admired He is so "classy"
He has all the other fighters beat a.
city block entertaining and, as an
after-t heater host, he is at the top Of
the heap.
Any time you visit Frisco and go
to the prominent cafes after the show
you will run into James Edward,
dressed in his tuxedo and the leading
actors and actresses who might be
playing in the city at the time seated
about the tables laughing at his
stories.
Britt is a fellow who will make his
living in any country, and nothing
about him is forced or studied. All
his manners come naturally, and as
for intelligenuce-well, if we were
making books on that part of his
make up, we would write on our

ToNOPAH RAISES OFFERS
-. FOR SQUIRES AND SCHRECK

Unless the plans Of Brown and
Johnson, the promoters Of the Hart
Schreck fight here, fall through, this
town will surely sift out a heavy
weight in whom the public will see
real champion.
Jack Curley, matchmaker Of the
Casino Athlete Club, today wrote
lengthy letter to Reynolds, who is
looking after the interests Of Bill
Squires, offering him $4,000 purse
or IS per cent Of the receipts for July
with Mike Schreck. Yesterday
they offered $4,000.
squires, it is reported, will not sign
unless his opponent agrees on
$4,000 side bet. When informed this
morning that an attempt was being
made to bring Schreck and Squires
together on July 4, but that the match
would probably call for a side bet of
$1,000. Billy Hogan, Schreck's man.
ager, declared that this was just to
his liking and that if the Australian
perferred he would raise it to $4,000.
mike has plenty backing around
the country and there are at least
one moment in wagering $4,000 that
he can defeat Squires. Mr. Marks,
one Of the richest men in this city,
told me only yesterday thai he would
bet a young fortune on Mike. We
have one fight on our hands now and
: it Is my policy not to put too many
irons in the fire. yet am not lying
idle. While Mike is training hard for
Hart, I am working night and day to
aid the club and Curley in securing
SQuires.
I'VE can beat him and all the rest
and Mike possesses no great fear of
Jeffries. It is the hope Of Brown and
Johnson, through Curley, to bring out
real champion, and Mike Schreck
will be that man or he will be car
ried out of here a terribly beaten
fighter. Mike Is game to the CORE
and be it Squires, Jeffries or any
other fighter that beats him he will
have to batter him into insensibility
before he gives up said Hogan.

SCHRECK HAS BACKER
FOR SQU|RE'S FIGHT
The Big German Gets Into Fast
Company and Chances Are
Good.
May Have Preference Over Hart
In Match With the
Australian.

With encouraging news here that
Mike Schreck, the big German from
Cincinnati, may meet Squires in To-
nopa on July 4, Mr.. Marks, leading
business and perhaps the wealthiest
back Mike for $4,000 against the
Australian.
Marks is deeply interested in
Schreck and after seeing linn in his
fight with Willie and the way he
works out is declared to be his
strongest backer
Schreck and his manager, Billy Ho-
gan, are jubilant and they now feel
sure that it will be Schreck and not
Burns who will be given the first
chance with the Australian cham
pion. Even If Hart defeats Schreck
and gets the big match it will he sat-
isfactory to the Chicago visitors, for
they mince no words in expressing
their dislike for Tommy Burns.
Hogan Scores Gee.
In an interview Billy Hogan said:
Burns for a long time got away with
a lot of bluffs. He has the assistance
of Tom McCarey, and if you will no.
tice, did most of his fighting there.
That means that he always had a
shade and reserved the right to side
step hard games and pick his own
matches. A few months ago in Chi
cago he was offered match with
Schreck for ten rounds at Terre
Haute, Ind. The club wanted to fight
the men on percentage, but Burns,
with view of sidestepping the match
named $4,000 for himself. Jack Cur
ley. who was the match maker of
the club, Immediately accepted his
terms, knowing that Schreck was. a
big card at Terre Haute and that
Burns was cheating himself by de-
manding $4,000.
Tries to Buy Referee.
"Then the question of referee came
up. The club and I wanted George
Siler. Burns insisted on Abe Pol
lock, and once more he won his point.
Burns manager, Billy Gee, invited
Pollock to lunch at Keane's restau-
rant that same day, and while there
offered him $4,000 before he entered
the ring to make 1t a sure thing for
Burns. AS bad as Burns is, he is not
half as bad as Billy Geo.

America. It was the writer who took
him to New York the first time, and
I will bet all I can earn for the next
five years that Fitz could not be in"
duced to fake. When he was in Aus
tralia he once entered a boxing show
Jem Mace conducted, and as n.tz was
under salary to Mace he was forced
to do as he was told. Being without
funds, Mace allowed Hall IT, win. over
him and Fitz never got over it. 1t
worried him so that he flew into a
frenzy every time anyone mentioned
1t. Then look at it from another side.
Does anyone believe that Fitz would
have to fake with O'Brien in those
days? Not on your life. When Fitz
was Fitz he could beat all the
O'Brien's in the same ring on the
same day. And you might include all
the men O'Brien ever fought in the
bargain.
O'Brien has certainly made a fine
mess Of it. The game that made
him, the sport that gave him every
dollar he has in the world-he repays
it by doing his level best to drag it
into disrepute. And why? Just be-
cause he was caught with the goods.
Then he continues about Tommy
Ryan. Maybe some Of the things he
says about Tommy might be so, but
for all that Tommy was a great fight
er. Here is what allied Ryan: Not
that he faxed, but he had great.
faculty Of going through the country
picking out "dubs" to fight. He
would rather earn SO fighting dub
than 500 fighting a good man. And
yet, take it from me, he could beat
any man in the world of his own
poundage and inches. So Tommy
Ryan has got little knock coming
to him.
But to go right down the line and
take every one Of the men mentioned
in the confession of O'Brien and out
side of Fitzsimmos not one of them
ever did a single thing to promote
the fighting game. One and all were
always after the almighty dollar, re-
CARELESS of the grand sport that gave
them livelihood, and the fighting
game is ten thousand times better off
to lose the O'Briens, the Walcotts,
the Tommy Ryans and the balance
Of that 1lk. 1t will give good, honest
boys an opportunity to place it on
the high level in the sporting world
! that pugilism deserves, and let us hope
we will soon see a sign reading:

JEFF MAY RUN FIGHT CLUB; TO

fight club to be run along his own
ideas in opposition to Tom McCarey
at Los Angeles. Persistent rumors
that he will take this step have been

He said today:
Il have been consulted in this re-
gard, but will have nothing to do
with any plans that contemplate a
buttinsky program to take advantage
of the O'Brien-Burns affair.
IF I should become interested in a

would be three judges instead of a

Those miners came to the game with

are greatly disappointed if none comes
off that they can take a hand in.
"The first tire times I went to bat
the Wilkesbarre catcher tipped me

game. It was regular championship

close between the two clubs, and the
two cities Of Scranton and Wilkes
barre are the most rabid rivals of any
towns in the country.
''Well, / came to bat under these

were two out at the time. The
