-FIGHTINC STORIES FOR FIGHTING MEN Philadelphia Jack o'Brien WOs oEisinoI Phontom of the Ring; Brought Society Into Boxing
BY BIll.Y ROCHE The RRferre

Philadelphia Jack OBrien wore spats and quoted from the classics years before Gene Tanney uttered his first polysyllable In hts hevday he travelled with a valet. secretary. press agent and 9 trunkloads oi sartorial splendor
 .O'Rrien brought society into the fight game
 Quests of honor indulged ia caviar and champagne Boxing teas were topped of by a three-round setto between a pueilist and the disiing- nished host. Maj. Anthony ]. DreNel Riddle. This went fine until AZ Kaufman. a lowly fellow with no social backpround. swatted the ma jor on the button. knocking him cold for 10 minutes.
 like every other lank-limbed stripling of the early sos, oBrien patterned himself after Gentle man Jim Corbeit His style like Corbetts. was to jab. step away or parry his opponents attempts Co counter. He was the original phan- tom.
 Dark haired. with square heavy jaw, rugged chin. clear piercing blue eyes and slightly pug red nose. O'Brien looked the fight CT.
 Throughout i7 years 1896 to 1912 - OBrien met the top bat tiers - lightweighis to heavyweiehiS --was knocked out only three times by Young Peter Jackson, Stanley Ketchei and sam Langford He was the first American to beat an Eng fish heavyweight champion, knock ing out George Crisp at Newcastle on-Tyne. May 20, 1901
 FAKE THAT WAS ON LEVEL
 OBrien gained fleeting recogni- ton as heavyweight champion by knocking out Bob Fitzsimmcns m i3 rounds, Dec. 20. 1905. Fitz claimed the title reverted to him as ex- champion when James J. Jefiries retired.
 The following May 8 Tommy Burns clinched his claim to the crown by beating o'Brien in 20 rounds in Los Angeles. Burns an- nounced that the fight was suppos- ed to be a fake. but that 1t would be on the level.
 O'Rrien. 5-i0iz. never much more than a middleweight, son of Patrick Hagan, a County Londonderry man, was born in West Philadelphia, Jan. i7, 1873. and christened Joseph Fra3cis Anthony. Young Hagan at- tended amateur bouts with a chum named OBrien. Since Jacks father did not approve of his boxing the boy fought under the name Of O'3rien.
 Although the greatest self press agsat the ring ever knew, O'Brien never was able to eradicate from the public mind the dramatic fin- ish of his battle with Stanley Ret
