HEAVYWEIGhTS WIND
UP THEIR TRAINING
Burns and Barry Are Ready for Tues
day Nights Gong, and Both Are
Confident of Winning by
Knockout

Big Sunday crowds greeted Jim Bar
ry and Jack Burns at their respective
training quarters yesterday, and the
impression gained was that each of
the gladiators is ready to fight for his
life and the contest will be one we'll
worth seeing. Barry is conceded as
having the better chance to win on ac-
count of the inexperience of Burns, but
with the punch that the Salinas six
footer has in his right hand there is
no telling but what annther short
ender may come to the fore. Burns
failure to meet defeat in any of his
former contests also speaks in his ia
Vor.
At Vernon Burns did a seven mile
road stunt in the morning, and in the
afternoon he passed an hour in the
ring at DOyle'S camp and entertained
the crowd of fans with his spirited
style of milling. He boxed four rounds
with Dick Allen, the amateur heavy,
and six rounds with the veteran Jim
Tremble. He made both of the fighters
hustle to keep out of his way and fire.
quently landed as he pleased. He
weighed 1888 yesterday, and with the
rest he will gain today and tomorrow
he should climb up to 100, which will
tie Barry, who will come into the ring
at that figure.
Barry at Venice, turned away peo-
Pile who wanted to see him work, as
the Arcade hall was not large enough
to accommodate the many fans who
sought admission, Barry's ten miles
on the road in the morning was the
longest distance he has travelled in his
preparatory runs but this exercise did
not keep him from doing all Of his
regular stunts in the ring, including
1s nP Ttyifh A ~,
Turk, four with Young Solomon and
three with Bob Walker.
All of the preliminary boys who are
to take part in the show at McCareys
pavilion tomorrow night, when Barry
and Burns form the principal feature,
went through their regular exercise
and are in shape for the fray.
The sale of seats will open at Greene
wald's this morning and, judging from
the reservations, the old Maud juno
ton pavilion will see one of the biggest
crowds of the season.
