Jack O’Brien Will Meet
Sam Berger Next Monday
Sir Private Leased Wire.
Philadelphia, Pa., July 'That there la
going to be a real light when '■‘Philadelphia
Jack'* O'Brien and 8am Berger meat In tty
ring of the National Athletic Club next
Monday night la mire. Everything proven
this. The men are training aa hard na they
know bow, are already In ahape, and each
1a poeltlvn that he will knock the other'a
block off.
Of coorae, O'Brien, confident aa a chain*
plou ahonld lie, acoffa at the Idea of fall*
Ing before Berger, bnt the coaat boy haa
weight and lota of atrength. and a wallop
that doea damage every time It landa.
Added to Berger'e accomplishments la con
fidence In hla ability to lick the world.
'O'Brien la In training here, and le aa
busy aa a fighter ever waa. He la not
taking any chances, and la far from un-
dareetlmatlng hla opponent. While he looka
on Berger aa a aure victim, he tralne aa
though he were going to meet Jeffrlea,
figuring that It la a lot better to be ready
for anything In the enrpriee-package lino
that may be handed out to him. lie real*
laea that with Berger It la do or die, and
that he will fight with deaperatlon, for
the fight nwana everything to him If he can
win. To O'Brien, victory doea not mean
anywhere near aa much, but defeat meana
the end of hla ring career.
In a talk today, O'Brien had the fol*
lowing to nay:
"You can take It from me that 1 am
ready to fight my t»eat battle. I have never
l»ceii accused of being foolish. Home peo
ple say I never made a match that I can
not win, but that Is rot. I am In the
game to win, for there Is more money In
winning than losing. It's the money 1
after.
“This Iterggr haa a lot of ^weight on me,
and that counts. For that reason, 1 am
training as hart) as I know how. Then
friends tell me the kid la fast. That Is
auothcr advantage. Uut I am sure
will have to weigh a ton. and be aa fast
ap chain lightning, to (mat me, and I
guess he Is not up to those specifications.
"Then the boot Is to go but six rounds,
and I am naturally looking for a terrific
fight."

ATLANTA PLAYERS WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP IN DOUBLES
The Southern tennis championship cstne
to an eud Saturday afternoon at Bast take
with the playing of the final rounds In the
doubles, eonaotstlon snd women's singles.
The doubles championship of tyo K°uth
went dually to (Irant and Thornton, tho
Atlnnta team, but only after five of aa hard
fought aeta aa local tonnla euthualasta have
ever seen. '
Hunt and I,ec, the University of Michigan
team, had evidently atndled the game of
tbo local players, and learned the ob-
vloua fact there was little chance of l»eat*
Ing them by a "slamming" game. So they
atndled out a defensive game, which con
sisted mostly of lohs. They made few at*
tempts to take the net, hut settled Into
the hack of the court and pnt every ball
that came their way high In the air.
Thla game of Incessant loha waa some
thing of a novelty to the local team, and
It nearly accomplished their downfall. The
Atlantans won the first set 62, hut they
dropped the ntfkt one by the satuo score,
and the third one 34. With the seta 2 to 1
against them. Grant tuul Thornton went on
the defensive themselves, and more careful
ly played games have seldom been seen In
Atlnnta. Both aides played safe as far as
possible, aud almost every point was
stretched over a considerable length of
time. After the local tram began to get
familiar with the lobbing game, they took
thltigs Into their own hand*, and won the
fourth set 6-3 and tho fifth 6-2. Thin
gave them the match, the title and the pos-
s<-sslon of the two handsome cups, for Da
vidson and Glasebrook did not defend,
and the challenge round went to the local
team by default.
Srjulti won the consolation round In
