BROWN CONFIDENT IF VICTORY
 OVER 0'BR|EN IN FRIDAY BOUT

Confident that he will be able to re- serse the tables on Tommy .OBrien over the 10-round route, Young Brown arrived in Phoenix yesterday to apply the finishing touches to his training for the Friday night go.
 Brown, couple of pounds heavier thar on his former visit, looked to he il even better shape than when he meet Houck here late in July and will retain this extra poundaSe. he says. when he enters the ring.
 70 'Brien defeated ma over the four round route in Los Augelas in June but he was rapidly tiring when the bell s1.:rded fo- he end of the boI- aa.d Eai the match gone a couple of rounds furtner, l would have had him. Brown ste ed yesterdaJ.
 Built for Taking 'Er
 I'm built for taking 'em. All l have to do is keep after my man, let him wear himself out and then step in and finish him up. That was just about the way it was at Vernon. I took couple of hard jolts, but O'Brien was all in and I would have been returned the winner had the bout been ten round affair. In fact. believe I would have stopped him inside of ten rounds"
 That is the way that Brown sum- marizes his recent match with O'Brien and, judging from newspaper accounts of the bout, that was about the size of it, too. The sport critics at the ring side stated that O'Brien was rapidly giving out as the final bell rang.
 T was a little over confident when 1 entered the ring, and, as a result, O'Brien caught me square one on the jaw, sending me to the mat, but I kept coming back and as the bout wore on, 1 noticed that his punches were begin ming to lack the steam of the first round. I don't plan to take such open chances at the start of this bout as did then. Of. course, I'll keep going all the time-that is the way I box, but won't give O'Brien such openings as he had before"
 Brown is recognized as a battler from the old school. always blowing in endeavoring to land his pet blows As is customary with performers of this style, they take many kicks that clever men escape but they are willing to do this as a part of their game
 Brown will probably weigh about 130 when he enters the ring Friday evening. His opponent will weigh close to 131. His ruggedness and splendid pHyS1Cdl COIUlIlOn- however, should give the Mexican an even break with the Irishman.
 In his first appearance here July 25, Brown made a big hit with local fans by his aggressive manner and his will ingness to mix it. Local fans like this type of performer, and, in consequence, he earned another match for himself in this city.
 O'Brien confined his worK yesterday to the road, doing only light exercises fn the gymnasium. On the road. how ever he worked as if preparing himself for the finish championship fight.
 Does 12 Miles on Road
 Early in the morning his training partner sent him for a six-mile turn down South Central avenue, the pair striking an easy gait and continuing until they reached the second base line road below the Salt river bridge.
 In the afternoon O'Brien turned an- other six-mile jaunt, going out North Central avenue as far as the Indian school. At the conclusion of this road work, he reported his wind to be in ex-
