REFEREE VISIT
IS POSTPONED
ILLNESS OF M'CAREY INTER
FERES WITH PLAN
Moving Picture Men Working at
Naud Junction Pavilion— Much
Burns Money la In
Sight
Owing to the fact thai T™ McCarey
wn« Indtepoaed yesterrlny Jim Jeffries
did not visit Jack O'Brien'!* training
quarters* al Venice, aa had been nr
ranned. The referee desires that Mc-
Carey be present when he talks with
the principals and should the malinger
be ablo to make a trip this afternoon
O'Brien will receive his Instruct lons.
It is thought, however, that the con
ference will be postponed until tomor
row.
A busy scone was In order at Naud
Junction pavilion yesterday morning,
where Miles Brothers" were making ar
rangements for the placement of
Cooper-Hewitt lights that are to be
used for the moving pictures.
A long- line of ticket purchasers wan
waiting at Grernewald's and Cohn's
cigar stands when the pasteboards were
put on sale. As had been anticipated,
the scalpers were anxloue to get In
their work before the five-dollar seats
had been sold. One party asked for
fifty tickets and the request was
promptly refused. Five tickets will be
the limit where doubt enters regarding
the purposes of those buying.
Betting has attained a peculiar stage
or Is rather at the Initial situation of
what bids to be one of the heaviest
wagering propositions ever witnessed
In Los Angeles. Burns is regarded as
one of the best short-enders ever pre
pared to enter the ring, and though his
supporters are holding; out for 2-1
money, great bundles of the Burns
coin is In sight. O'Brien people, on the
other hand, wish to secure better odds
and as a result the coin placing is
pyactlcally at a standstill.
opinions exist as to what the
e^pntual betting will be. Al Greene
wald is of the opinion that 10-7 will
be reached, while other commission
men claim that 2-1 will prevail when
the men enter the ring. The largest bet
yet placed was made yesterday, when
JoOflO was wagered against $1000, with
Burns on the short end. Neither side
appears anxious to give tn, and bets
went at odds fluctuating between
10-6 and 10-6%.
A remark was heard yesterday that
evidences what some think of the forth
coming battle. A well-known form man
said:
"I believe O'Brien and Burns line up
like Abe Attell and Frankie Nell did
before their battle. One i» a great
boxer, while the other is a fighter from
the word go. I look to see Burns give
a wonderful demonstration of his mix-
Ing ability and then watch O'Brien
win a decision such as did Abe At
tell."
While the two men may be said to
rate, somewhat along such lines the
fact that Burns is far more of a boxer
In his class than is Frankie Neil should
not be overlooked. Neil had absolutely
no Tiope of besting Attell in a boxing
match and lost to the champion after
the greatest ring battle ever witnessed
In Los Angeles.
Burns, however, is clever to a de
gree, as has been instanced time and
again during his local fights. Tommy
says, however, that he intends boring
into O'Brien from the first tap and
will floor the great Phlladelphian before
twenty rounds.
When Abe Attell said that he would
meet Neil at his own game and prove
to the world that he was no runaway
• fighter, much skepticism was forthcom
ing, as few believed that he possessed
the ruggedness necessary for a toe to
toe encounter with the game little
Nell. Abe« however, did n»t flinch be
fore the Neil boy's grilling rushes and
won out in a whilwind finish.
Now we have Jack O'Brien pitted
against just such an opponent as was
Abe Attell, with Burns possessing
cleverness. Against such a proposition
how will O'Brien make out?
Although any amount of statements
may appear regarding what O'Brien'in
tends to do it is absolutely certain that
he will not give an inkling as to his
general intentions should he possess
any.
The question was put point blank to
O'Brien yesterday whether he would
tell his plan of battle. A determined
"No" was the answer.
"Maybe I will tight O'Brien toe and
toe and maybe I will run away, us
Burns anticipates I will do. It will br
time enough when we get into the riiiK
to determine that. Burns, I under
stand, has planned just how he is go
ing to beal me. Well, I am not plan
ning how to beat him, but 1 have
every intention of winning, just the
same."
Unlike Attell, O'Brien does not say
whether he will light or endeavor to
pepper Burns into submission. How
ever, there is good cause for reflection
based upon whatever line he may pur
sue. Burns doubtless would relish the
idea of O'Brien meeting him toe to toe,
but Tommy will not kijow until next
Wednesday.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 23, 1906.
BURNS IN GREAT
RING CONDITION
HEAVYWEIGHT HAS ATTAINED
FAST FORM
Jim Corbett Advised Tommy to Avoid
Tenseness When Boxing.
Burns and Kauf.
It npprar? n pity ihnt Tommy T'.urns
cannot enter the ring this evening.
Win or lose, the chunky heavyweight
looms up like a man Hint nee, is not
another day of tr.'ilnlmr before enter-
Ing upon tho battle that hi haa looked
forward to since first he realised that
there was Strength and shiftiness In his
arms and Icrs. Beautifully built, from
a fighting standpoint, is Tommy, and
a he stood yesterday steaming beneath
his shower, his great muscular power
showed to startling advantage.
Indeed a claim placed against limns
i.-i that be Is muscle-bound and there
fore not aMo to use hli strength to
the beßt advantage Tommy lays
himself that there was n time when he
was Inclined to hold his bedv tense
when boxing, but claims that Jim Cor
bett tnught him a few things regard
ing his errors.
"When Corbett was showing at De
troit years ago," paid Tommy yester
day, "I went on with him for a few
rounds and after the exhibition Jim
took me aside and told Tne that I must
cut out the tense way In which I held
my arms. After that I boxed several
times with Corbett and each time
learned more about handling my
self."
When Burns was being rubbed, Frank
McDonald stood close by and watched
every movement of Tommy's assist
ants. As a thoroughbred horse trainer
might condition a stake entry, so Mc-
Donald watches over Hums, and it is
safe to say that Tommy will never at
tain better condition than that which
he has reached at the present moment.
Drawing conclusions from his train
ing It is evident that Burns has not
the slightest idea of trying to outbox
O'Brien and will bore in on the Phila
delphian terrifically if that individual
is to be found. In Jimmy Burns
(George Memsic) Tommy has a great
little sparring partner, as Jimmy
should class with a welter weight when
it comes to roughing tactics. Burns
allowed him to land heavily yesterday
when punishment could have easily
been avoided. Tommy believes that
his great chance lies In rushing O'P.ripn
and endeavoring to beat him down
.without fear of the Quaker's punchps.
A comparison between Al Kauffmann
and his showing against O'Brien and
Burns Is causing more or less com
ment. O'Brien required seventeen
rounds to knock out Billy Delaney's
big boy and it is a question whether
Burns would ask more than fifteen
round? at the most In which to put
Knufmann away.
Those who were close observers of
Kaufmann's training for Dave Barry
some months back know well of the.
little seances which occurred in the
rear of Lewis' gymnasium, where Al
was working with Burns and Jack
"Twin" Sullivan. When Kaufmann
first began training he sparred with
Burns before a large crowd that daily
attended the workouts.
Tommy, however. Is not an easy man
either when he acts as sparring part
ner or as principal. He was too anxious
to show Kaufmann Just what was in
him and as a result Prof. Lewis, who
presided as trainer, was obliged to have
Kaufmann and Burns retire to a rear
room. Burns showed that he was
Kaufmann's master at any sort of a
g-ame and for that heason Al prob
ably refused to come west and meet
Burns a few months ago.
Jack O'Brien, in speaking of his bat
tle with Kaufmann the other day, re
marked that had Kaufmann possessed
the necessary experience he would
probably have knocked him out In the
third round of their battle for "indi
vidual supremacy" at San Francisco.
Said O'Brien:
"Kaufmann caught me fairly on the
jaw in the third round and it was
only by stalling that I managed to
last the round. Of course he landed
when I was careless. After that, how
ever, Jack O'Brien was on the lookout
for any repetition."
There is absolutely no doubt as to
Burns' superiority, so far as Kaufmann
is concerned, and O'Brien was seven
teen rounds In turning 'the trick.

What Is anticipated to be the fast
est academic football game of the sea
son will occur tomorrow afternoon at
Fiesta jiark when the Polytechnic
High School team and the Los Ange
les High School eleven face each other.
Coach Thompson has developed a
very fast team and the I'olys have
made a fine record thus far during the
season. The squad is out every after
noon working with a vengeance for
tomorrow's game.
The teams are rather evenly
matched, both as to weight and speed.
The Los Angeles eleven is supremely
confident of victory, though Traeger'3
nun do not expect an easy time when
they clash with the Polytechnic boys.
Much enthusiasm exicta and rallies
have been In the auditoriums of both
schools, where songs and yells are
practiced. As a result of the faith
which has been centered by both stu
dent bodies each team is determined
to do everything In its power to win.
According to tho performances of
both elevens the coming BtrUffgle

O'BRIEN JOLTS
HIS TRAINERS
RAIN CAUSES GLOOM AT THE
VENICE CAMP
With Few Spectators, Quaker Takes
Revenge on Swanson and the
Turk— Will Not Give
Plan of Battle
.ineii O'Brien was gloomy yesterday
for the first tlmr since coining to BOUth
em California, Then «:is no out to
watoh him train, Rain poured in tor
rents about the big Venice auditorium
and lisiini camp visitors were not In
evidence. As b resull Bob Ward, Abdul
the Turk and Swaneon were treated to
some or the Quaker's spleen. Jack took
his revenge' upon pom- Suansmi and
Abdul.
Bwanaon is much given to kidding
with hi« master during their dally
meetings and endeavored yesterday to
1 cheer the darkness by springing some
new sldespllttera which he had picked
up among the gondola folk. Hut
O'Brien was not In the humor and
Swanson, receiving a rousing chuck
on the chin, cast appealing glances at
the time keeper,
A lxi ii I the Turk also received an over«
dose and Is Imbued with more retpßCt
than ever for the meal ticket. Bob
Ward with his two hundred pounds oi
more la proving c valuable nsse: n(
the O'Brien camp find the Plilladel
phlfin specks favorably of his heavy
weight partner.
A week ago ami O'Brien's face waa
somewhat worn, indicating the effects
of preliminary training. Yesterday,
however, his features had assumed
their natural fullness and further
training appears necessary only as a
windup.
Herbert Finder, O'Brlen'B now famous
tutor, although somewhat of a novice
as regards American pugilistic meth
ods, is an, admirer of physical fitness
and expresses keen appreciation of the
Philadelphlan's superb makeup.
"In England we care not so much for
the gigantic physique." he said, "but
dote on models of the Grecian sort, such
as Mr. O'Brien. Many of our greatest
athletes arc not men of weight, but
combine the greatest stamina with
i mnrvelously trained bodies. I wit
nessed the great Harvard-Cambridge
boat race on the Thames recently and
much comment, was aroused because
of the difference In American and Kng
lish oarsmen as regarded their appear
ance. Your Harvard men were great
strapping fellows and appeared capa
ble of beating anything In the world.
Our men were also large, but of a dif
ferent type. Several of them were of
rather slender build.
"However, they won easily from your
representatives. Naturally I wish Mr.
O'Brien to Win and his marvelous
quickness makes nic confident. How
ever, I am no judge of such events."
A suggestion was made to O'Brien
I that so long aa' Burns had given pub
licity to a plan of battll the Philadel
phian might also render some Insight
as to what methods he intended to
pursue. Nothing doing, however.
"Some men may be able to plan
ahead, but I am not. I have gone
along for the past ten years defeating
many opponents and never ventured to
predict just how I would win. There
would be no sense in my doing such
a thing at this late date. You know
that I have oftentimes won by poking
a man to pieces and then knocking him
out, but circumstances are to be count
ed upon always. There is a strong prob
ability, however, that the left side of
Mr. Burns' face in particular may_come
in contact with my gloves. I haven't
watched Burns fight as an ordinary on
looker."
There is much worth in O'Brien's
version that no ringster can success
fully plan just what he Is going to do
once he climbs between the ropes, es
pecially when men of disputed caliber
meet;
O'Brien will come to Los Angeles but
once before Wednesday, and then for
the purpose of giving a sparring ex
hibition in connection with the Los An
geles Press club entertainment at the
Burbank theater Monday afternoon.

PRETTY PEGGY FROM PARIS
SINGS FINNY FLIRTING SONG
WILD BILL THOUGHT SHE
MEANT IT
Jumps Over the Footlights at Actress'
Invitation and Scene Is Saved
by Quick Work of the
Orchestra
Hocorda of every kind, size and de-
Bcrlptton have graced On pages of
American catalogues, from its earliest
history, yet Miss Eulalle Jensen, the
charming: prlma donna of the "Peggy
from Paris" company, has established
a new department In the record line by
setting the pace for flirting.
Miss Jensen Ih a st. Louis girl and
when she tells how the stage manager
taught her to flirt so charmingly over
the footlights there Is a twinkle In her
great brown eyea which suggests that
much teaching In the gentle art was
not required.
In fad the flirting act of thr Peggy
show has proven one of the greatest
attractions or the season, tn the last
acl of the performance the spol light
swiußs to one of the wing entrances
and Miss Jensen appears on the stage
in charming attire,
She stepi to the footlights nnd to
the thirty or forty men In thn front
rows she slnga a flirting song. The
song In itself is catchy and pretty and
during that performance Miss Jensen
v, viks in distracting fashion at the
men of the from row who look aboul
in disc tori to sec if their wlvea or
sweethearts are present and who often
make a hasty departure.
Angles with Hearts
In the chorus the dainty songstress
singles out one victim of the front row.
She leans far over the footlights and
beckons to him, holding oul her hands
and singing in a manner which for its
charm is worth going far tn hear.
Duriii!} that last performance' the.
spot llpht is trained directly on tho
victim's head and he wiggles and won
ders whether or not he has made an
Impression with little Peggy that she
should thus single him out.
. But that is just ;i part of the show
and then Miss Jensen, with the other
girls of the company, sings the chorus
a second time, fishing with tiny fishing
polos to vhieh electric bulbs in the
shape of little hearts are attached.
These bulbs light up as they swing
past the faces of the front row and the
fair anglers have oceans of fun.
"Do i become embarrassed with the
performance." said Miss Jensen yes
terday. "Oh, not a bit. but I often be
come frightened. You see when I
started to sing that little song I was
not quite sure how the boys in the
front row would behave.
Perhaps Married Men
"There had been thirteen other girls
playing the Peggy part before me, but
none of them ever had to sing that
flirting song nnd it is no easy task to
flirt with* several thousand men every
year. That's rather a large order for
one girl, especially when she Is not
used to flirting. i
"The stage manager taught me how
to flirt gracefully with the front row
boys. I flirt with all of them during
the first part of the song, and then
when it comes to the chorus I must
single out one particular one to victim
ize. It's lots of fun when a young fel
low is sitting down in the front row
with his sweetheart to flirt with him.
My, how he docs wiggle about and get
red.
"When I find a middle-aged or elder
ly man with his wife In the front row it
is fine to watch him preen his feathers
and think he has made a great hit,
while his wife looks daggers at me and
nudges him in a way that portends a
stormy session later.
"At one performance I singled out a
popular young man whom I knew to be
well known in the city, and I deter
mined to sing to him. He was ac
companied by his sweetheart and her
mother, and when I began to flirt with
him It was a picnic just to watch the
way those two women had fun at his
expense.
Wild Bill Gets His
"Most of the men rather pride them
selves that they have made a neat im
pression with me. They think they are
the hits of the evening and generally I
receive a little note from them. Some
of them turn about evidently to see
whether or not their wives. or relatives
are watching them, and if not they try
and flirt back, but on more than one
occasion they have become so fearfully
embarrassed that they have left.
"One evening we were playing in
Texas and there was a regular "Alkali
Ike' or 'Wild Pete' man down in the
front row. He had crammed himself
into a 'hard boiled" shirt while a col
lar, horribly big • for him. stuck up
about his ears. A huge red necktie
