which Washington. In his farewell ad-
dress, cautioned the people of the

FLYNN SENDS
WILLIAMS DOWN
AN AMBITIOUS MIXER GETS
WORST OF DEAL
Dopesters Visit Burns Training
Quarters and Are Impressed
With HeavyWeight's
Condition

A lively time resulted at Jim Flynn's
training quarters yesterday. Kid Will
liams. local mixer, had asked per-
mission to step a few PAGES with Flynn
and Manager Jack Linciie consented
Just before the working hour Lincke
was given to understand that Williams
intended stopping Flynn, if possible
in order to slip in a boost for him
self.
According to those who witnessed the
fray Williams will not attempt the
trick again. Lincke warned Flynn to
be on his guard and as the day of bat
tie is so close at hand, told Flynn not
to take unnecessary chances.
Williams Immediately commenced tc
rough it and evidently intended to
reach Flynn with stiff one. Jim did
not take kindly to the idea and sent
Williams to the floor so often during
the first two rounds that the Kid was
willing to cry quits. 1t was bad bust
ness for Flynn, but he became sore at
Williams.
Flynn's wife arrived from Pueblo
Tuesday afternoon and has watched
Jim go through his training stunts at
the Eastside gym. The Coloradoan is
evidently in the best of condition and
his ability in the ring must do the
rest.
Tommy Burns is, apparently, in su-
perb form. MCCarey and a crowd of
form readers visited Tommy at his
Arcadia training quarters yesterday and
were well pleased with tie husky boys
condition.
Burns does not believe that Flynn
will cover the route and is already
planning for his future battles. The
O'Brien bee buzzes busily and Tommy
is more than anxious to win decisively
Tuesday night.
A victory for Flynn would not be the
greatest surprise of recent ring his
tory, although he will be the short
ender. Flynn has shown great stamina
with his training partners, but that is
a much different proposition than mix
with Burns. Tommy does not credit
Flynn with a knockout punch and If
the Pueblo boy cannot produce a hay
maker his chances will not be much. 1t
does not appear probable that he pos
sesses the ability to wear Burns down,
but he may be there with a sleeper.
Burns will be~foolish to underrate
his opponent too much and should he
become any way stale before the call
of time it may go bad with him.
Tommy, however has always been a
careful trainer and has thus far taken
no chances.
Considerable speculation exists as to
whether Indian Joe win dispose of Jim
Tremble and Abdul, the Turk, within
ten rounds. Those who witnessed Joe
in action at the Pacific Athletic club
some time ago were impressed with the
evident strength of the redskin. A
little more of the boxing game and Joe
may be no mean antagonist for the
best of them.
