The sensa tion of the week was tty expos of the O'Brien-Burn contest at Los Angelea Such accusations - and recriminations were never heard before In connection with a prise ring swindle, and. there is a feeling that the whole etory has not been told yet, even, -f : For one thing, a suspicion exists that It the betting on .the fixed bout had been any way brisk the public might never have heard of the plot N to trap O'Brien. .' j - There Is a rumor that the liberal odds offered caused the "sucker public" to fight' shy of the contest, and tHat the prospect of a meager cleanup . precipi tated a wrangle among the conspirator at the last moment, the double crossing of O'Brien being .the result. .Vv " t. , Managers In on Deal. There 1 reason tor believing that the - mana gers -of th -Paeifle-AthleMa- elu had no Intention of making the facts publla McCarey kept under cover while the reporters were hunting around for him to ask him why the bets had been declared off, and If It had not been, for the effervescence of Tommy Burns, who could not 1 contain himself v at the thought of the trick he played upon O'Brien, the "expose", might never have been. ..:-..'; " '"-w-r.; Burns, as th thing went, was en abled to pose as a hero, or a smart fel low, but there Is really nothing to show: that he entered into the scheme In the first place for th sol purpose of luring OBrlen into the ring.' Th match from the outset has been the weirdest kind of a proposition, and the many contra dictory reports circulated as to th post lng of fabulous purses and those un preeedented advance ' sales of . tickets caused the scheme to be viewed with distrust As things stand, It Is furte probable that several versions of th fake wlll.be accounted before sporting men are enabled to. sort out the real facta, and in the meantime the. names of the principal actors In thescandal are suu w riffM g.uirM. "Tommy Burns has agreed to post 15.- 000 with the writer before next Wednes day to cover a similar amount deposited by Bill Squires at the Eamlner office shortly aftej his arrival When Burns fulfills this part of his contract the Squires-Burn match for the champion ship of th world will be assured. Bqulres money ha been placed to act both as a' forfeit for compliance with th articles of agreement and as a sid bet On half of th amount Is to guar' antes th club and Burn that Squire will be on hand and ready to box on th data agreed upon, . When - Squire enters th ring th 12,600 forfeit is re leased and then' the whole of th 16,000 poetedy Squire 1 wagered (gainst a similar amount or Burns' money that Bqulres will win th contest -t;-im 4 , To Tight la July. In th matter of th data of th Burns-Squires affair at Col ma. It can aafely be said that th contest will not take . place until the Fourth of July. Under ' existing industrial conditions such a thing as working Up Interest in even a championship fight is almost out of th question, and for j that matter there Is small chance of the streetcar service to Colma ; and other outside points being In proper shape by Decora tion day. , , These thing were noted by Barney Reynolds, manager of the Australian champion,, and he decided that, as his man Is to fight for af percentage of the gate receipts, it Is advisable to wait un til th striKe situation clears ana tn prospects of a full concourse of rlng- slders is assurea.
