u ENTLEMEN, we have with
z US today Young PhlladeI-
phia Jack O'Brien This
young lightweight from the I'm
conscious City is a brother of the
famous Phil Jawn," who a few
years ago won the light heavy
weight championship by stopping
Bob Fitzsimmons in Frisco.
But, back to the biscuits. This
OBrien is the ORIGINAL. JacR
of the family His big broth
er, JaWn, was merely nicknamed
with that monicker, his right name
being Joseph.
Young John is really the sur
prise of the year in fisticuffs. Do
you know of another lad seventeen
years of age who has fought all
the champions in his class, figured
in over so battles and was knocked
down but once and has never yet
lost a decision? That's the record
OF this youngster.
And just remember that the same
steady, industrious work done by
this youngster in any honorable
line of endeavor would have made
a much greater man of him.
He is a college boy, and until last
year attended regularly. The fight
ing bug was born in young John,
and, try as they might. the family
could never kill 1t. Big Jawn sent
the lad to college, but he had a
hankering to fight, and at the age
of sixteen won the amateur ban
tam title at the A. A. U. Jawn
opened the American Boxing club
in Philly and there the younger
aid, anxious to see the bouts, agreed
to work in the box office for his ad-
mission fee.
There Is a law in Philly which
states that the names of all con-
testants must be handed into the
police "a hours before any con-
test. The management this night,
of course. handed in the names,
but. not being sure OF the prelimi-
nary boys showing up, wrote in the
names of some actor friends-Ed-

Levy Makes Bad Mistake.
You see. Joe made a mistake in
taking that match. Rivers had lot
of prestige because of the reported
doubtful ending of his match with
Wolgast. He shouldn't have rushed
him into meeting that would take
all the glamour away from him. He
should have taken easier meat:
They are talking about Wolgast

name is spoken. That's ridiculous.
Wolgast is the most fearless man
ever known to the ring. Let me

ers match. AID mashed his left
thumb 50 badly in training that it
looked as if he simply couldn't get
