GREAT ASSEMBLAGE OF BOXERS OCCURS TONIGHT
MIGHTY THRONG

FOR RING BOUT

Probable That Should Referee Be Un.

cislon He Will Order a
Continuation
Unless the unforeseen casts a shadow.
Jack O'Brien and Tommy Burns will
enter the ring at Naud Junction tonight
promptly at half past 9 o'clock to battle
for the light heavyweight championship
of the world.
Dosplte the repeated predictions by
jealous would-be ring promoters to the
contrary, the J30.000 purse offered by
Tom McCarey Is ready for distribution
so soon as O'Brien and Burns have de
cided as to which way the money
will go.
Desperate because Los Angeles se
cured such an attraction in the face of
great odds, a certain San Francisco
clique has thrown every discourage
ment possible in the way of McCarey's
arrangements. False reports have bemi
sent broadcast relative to the situation,
and If the local arena is filled to over
flowing tonight— as It surely will be— no
credit may be given to San Francisco
promoters, who have always received
support from the southern contingent.
Nonal and McCarey Confer
When it appeared certain that Mc-
Carey meant business by offering the
purse, other methods were resorted to
In a cold water effort.
The coming of Billy Nolan to Los An
geles was greeted with a wail, and it
Immediately became known that Nolan
had Joined O'Brien for the purpose of
averting a meet with Burns.
Tom McCarey and Nolan lunched to
gether yesterday at a downtown cafe
and laughed heartily when mention wag
made of the fact that Nolan must be
"looked after" Wednesday night.
"Don't worry about me," said Nolan.
"I am after that money, and believe me
the fight will go on as surely as O'Brien
and Burns live until tomorrow night.
I'll send O'Brien in if he breaks a leg."
The question of whether the bout to
night would go twenty-five rounds— or
more than twenty, should twenty see
the men at an even break — was not
officially settled last night, though there
13 every reason to believe that should
Referee Charlie Eyton be unable to
render a decision at the end of twenty
rounds the bout will be continued.
Nolan had this to say regarding the
question yesterday:
"We surely wish this affair to result
in a knockout or a decision which will
leave not the slightest doubt as to who
Is the better man.
"If Eyton cannot give a decision at
the end of twenty rounds I am anxious
that he declare a continuation. It might
not be necessary for twenty-five rounds
to occur. Perhaps two or three extra
might do."
McCarey, who was listening to Nolan,
remarked that he believed twenty-five
rounds should be fought if there was
anything on the extra line required.
Burns is just as anxious to go longer
as is O'Brien. When McCarey and No
lan had concluded their Interview yes
terday it was practically agreed that
nothing lay In the way of an added
number of rounds.
Excitement relative to tonight's affair
came near reaching fever heat yester
day. Especially was this noticeable
among the easterners to whom things
of the pugilistic world have become in
the nature of a novelty. Naturally
O'Brien is a favorite among those from
l % eyond the Rockies, and the pleasure
bent Shriners who care for the squared
circle were placing small wagers on the
Philadelphian throughout the day.
Burns Money Plentiful
Burns money Is practically unlimited,
though the Canuck's supporters were re ■
celving 10 to 8 for their coin last night.
Those who manage the betting opera
tions say that there will scarcely be a
change In the odds before time is called
tonight.
While Nolan visited the city yester
day morning, O'Brien passed an easy
time. He went six fairly fast miles in
the morning and tagged around for
a while in the afternoon.
The Philadelphinn Is restive and
anxious for the hour of battle to draw
night. He is not of the even temperament
that characterizes Burns and cannot
stand a moment's idleness.
Tommy Burns was out at an early
hour yesterday morning and did several
miles over the Long Beach roads. The
Canuck came into the city at a late
hour in the afternoon and watched the
parade from Lewis' gymnasium. Tommy
remained at his residence on East
Adams street last night.
O'Brien will not be in the city until
8 o'clock tonight. The fact that O'Brien
has been remaining In the background
Is a feature of his alliance with Nolan
and one which makes it appear as
though Nolan was his manager in real
ity as well as In name.
Before the last battle with Burns
O'Brien was doing the society act and
keeping late hours at Venice. Nothing
of the sort since Nolan took charge. It
has been a quiet place in the country
and early to bed, the greatest excite
ment being a series of vocal selections
with which the Sullivan twins have
been keeping Arcadia lively for the past
three weeks.
Never before in the history of pugil
ism will such a gathering of famous
gladiators be present to watch their
fellows battle for a world's supremacy.
If Joe Gans were to be in Los Angeles
tonight every champion of the world
would be at the ringside.
Manager McCarey has arranged to
have all the ring notables Introduced,
and those who are making their first
visit to a ringside will surely receive
their moneys worth.
Gathering of Celebrities
Jim Jeffries, of course, will be there.
James seldom misses a battle nowadays,
and will be given a great sendoff when
he climbs between the ropes tonight.
Maybe Jim will be fighting either
O'Brien or Burns before long. Who
knows?
Abe Attell, featherweight champion of
the world, Is due to arrive this morning.
Honey Mellody, technical welterweight
champion along with Mike Sullivan,
JACK O'BRIEN
V v n< m ■{■ ■{■ if mt hi hi n« ■» n» »f V V '»■ V ■«■ <* v"V v v '*'
who defeated him the other night, will
bc present.
Jack Sullivan and Hugo Kelly, who
battle for the middleweight title Friday
night, are also to be trotted out.
Little Bat Nelson arrives according to
schedule this morning and will second
O'Brien.
Every precaution has been taken to
care for the immense throng which has
already been assured because of an
enormous ticket sale. One six-round
preliminary is carded and will be called
shortly after 8 o'clock. McCarey has
demanded that O'Brien and Burns be
in the ring at half past 9, and those who
desire to take out of town trains should
have small difficulty in doing so.
Referee Charlie Eyton will surely ex
perience a strenuous time if O'Brien and
Burns require breaking, as they did he
fore. Jim Jeffries, large and strong as
he is, had a lively session. ' Eyton, how
ever, generally commands the respect
of his men, and it is anticipated that he
will get away well tonight.

HOLLYWOOD WOMAN TO
DONATE CHURCH CHIMES
Special to The Herald,
LONG BEACH, May 7.— Thinking
that perhaps some downcast spirits
may be cheered by their sweet music,
some would-be suicide turned, maybe,
from his contemplated course, Mrs. Ke
ziah Smith of Hollywood will donate
a complete chime of bells to be placed
In the tower of the new Presbyterian
church. .
The reason for Mrs. Smith's philan
thropic act has been explained. A man
whom she afterward met was checked
when about to kill himself by hearing
the bells of the Eliza A. Otis memorial
chime at Hollywood ringing out Lowell
Mason's hymn, "Nearer, My God. to
Thee."
The set which Mrs. Smith will pro
vide for the local church will cost
$4000.
NEW AUTO 'BUS WILL
MAKE TRIP TODAY
