Big jim Barry displayed some real
speed at the South Side club yesterday
when he opened up in earnest in his
training stunts for the long distance
bout with AL Kaufman next week.
The husky Chicago man used hve poX-
ers in his sparring stunts and favor
ably impressed the large crowd with
his clever style of milling.
For a joint loosener Barry skipped
the rope. shadow boxed and pulled the
weights for fifteen minutes before DON

rice Savers was ready to face him the
big boy felt like slipping over few
nice wallops Savers used all his cleV-

rounds, after which Frank Mantell was
called forth.
Mantell came here with a big eastern
reputation, but in his real bouts In

that justified hailing him as world
beater. Against Barry, however, Man.

that he is entitled to a little rest before
commencing the real grind previous to

that the fans will make Kaufman ia :

event scheduled, Baron Long is not
