FLYNN AND TWIN
ARE PREPARING
USUAL REFEREE SoUABBLE
ARISES
Fireman Confident That sully VIII BE
Among the Has Beens, While Jack
Entertains Similar Notions
Regarding James

Jack Sullivan and Jim Flynn appear
determined to keep up with the times,
and necessarily there is another referee
squabbe on hand. This referee busi-
ness has grown to proportions where
the press agent gag is being charged.
Such has not been the situation here
abouts but nevertheless Sullivan and
selves. No one cares particularly who
is third man In the ring, so long as the
bout comes off.
The Flynn camp claims that one Gus
Herget will act as referee, while Sulli-
van says nay One thing is certain,
McCarey will not separate himself with
another chunk of talking paper in order
to get Jim Jeffries. If Jim presides
Flynn and Sullivan will pay the price.
Similar and yet in manner unlike
the Abe Attell Harry Baker series is
the Flynn-Sully affair. Baker lost, and
many howled because the decision went
to Attell. If demonstration might be
believed Baker was to be an odds on
favorite next time out. Lo and be-
hold when the men again entered the
ring Attell was even more of public
choice than when he first stepped be-
tween the ropes with Baker.
Here Is Flynn with decision against
him, meeting his sometime conqueror.
Will Twin" show conclusively that his
actual ring abilities are in excess of
Flynn's? Twin holds, along with many
who witnessed the bout, that he did not
lose because Flynn outpointed or out
fought him, and that a second meeting
Will reverse the decision.
Flynn is working well at the East Side
gym and SCOTS an idea that Sullivan
has a chance with him.
Take 1t from me that there won't be
any need of a decision this time. I'll
knock that Irishman's block off," says
James.
Sully is also the optimistic kid, and
between his training and Jig dancing in
Inmates that Mr.. Flynn of Colorado will
be sleeping peacefully even as after the
Burns battle.
Twin" has one large performance on
his hands If he intends doing anything
along the knockout order. Flynn is a
tough customer that bears watching at
every stage of the game. and his build
is not that of man calculated to go
out unless terrific force enters into the
proposition.
One of the preliminaries may result
in a bout between the younger Bullman
brother now racing at Ascot park and
another jock. There has been bad
blood between the boys, and nothing
would suit them better than to air the
difficulty in public. McCarey says he
will be there with a gold medal should
the men agree to fight in regulation
order.

CLEVER JOCKEYS WILL
BOX FOR GOLD MEDAL

Manager McCarey has signed Kerry
Patch and Frank Hewitt, two Ascot
Jockeys, to box one of the six-round
prelIminaries to the Jim Flynn-Jack
Irwin" Sullivan battle, which Is
scheduled to take place Tuesday night,
February 10.
Patch and Hewitt will weigh In at
112 pounds and instead OF the usual
preliminary purse the youngsters Will
fight for a gold medal,
It is said that these two jockeys are
whlrlwinds with tho gloves and are
the two best boxers at Ascot among
the knights of the pigskin.
The youngsters would not box for a
purse, but desired some sort of prize
other than money, and Manager Nc
Carey has ordered a beautiful gold
medal, one that the victor Will be proud
to pin on his breast.

CHAUFFEUR FIELD
PROMISES WELL
FOUND NECESSARY TO START
SCHOOLS
Demand for Expert Drivers In Great
Cities Has Become lmpera-
tlve--Lucrative Salaries
Are Paid
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, Feb. 4.--The problem of
the chauffeur has become so real that
number of schools of instruction for
chauffeurs have started up in Chicago.
and 1t is thought that in another year
driver will have to be graduate"
before he is eligible to employment
A few years ago any person who
wore pair of goggles and clothes reek-
Ing with gasoline could manage to get
position running machine. 1t mat
tered little whether he was q practical
mechanic.
Chauffeurs we're scarce then. But in
the last few years experienced drivers
have become plentiful. Consequently
the amateur is going out and in his
place has come the professional
with the demands for efficiency and
capability, the chauffeur Is now regard
ed somewhat in the light of an engl-
neer Of railroad train. He holds in
his hands the lives of his employer, his
employers friends and family, and on
the sureness of his eye and the firm
ness of his hand rests the security of
the public.
That there is a demand for good
chauffeurs is evidenced every day by
the calls made on the Michigan avenue
can present the proper references as to
his honesty. sobriety and capabilities
of handling a machine need not want
for a position.
But the references must be perfect.
and he must really know his business.
from the cranking of a motor to the
adjusting of spark.
The best chauffeurs now are the
young men who began life as mechan-
ic apprentices. A good chauffeur, be-
sides being sober and honest, must
know everything about the machinery.
The automobile of today is a delicate
piece of mechanism and must be treat
ed accordingly. A loose valve or
misplaced screw may mean the wreck
of a car.
The average salary of chauffeur in
Chicago Is from 500 to $50 a week. OF
course this is only the average, and
many of the experienced ones receive
high wages
It is said that Reginald vanderbilts
chauffeur Is paid $4,000 year; Pierpont
Morgan's $4,000; August Belmont's $4,000,
and scores get $4,000 year. These sal
aries, compared with those paid In
other vocations, are extraordinarily
large.
With the high salaries and the great
liberties allowed chauffeurs by some
owners has come the "chauffer evil"
AS a rule the owner knows almost
nothing about his car. He leaves every
thing in the hands of his chauffeur.
That individual Is allowed to pur-
chase tires, screws, valves, gasoline and
everything else needed. Dealers in
automobie accessories knowing that
the chauffeur is the buyer in many
cities allow the chauffeur 10 per cent
on all purchases.

FOUMOl|NG IS
ONLY HEIR TO
VAST ESTATE

Trenton, July 5.-The New Jersey Chill
dren's Home society has In Its custody a
-year-old boy. Carl Boyd Livingston.
a waif who Is believed 10 the heir TO mill
lions. Morally certain that the child Is the
son OF a wealthy West Indian planter
and that were he restored 10 his parents
he would become heir 10 perhaps the
richest possession on the island of Mar
Unique. the authorities OF the society yes
terday took steps TO establish legally the
young lads birthright.
Carl's birth occurred In Philadelphia In
June, 1900. A tall. dark. distinguished
looking man. who spoke with marked
foreign accent and was as imperious as
Spanish grandee, had placed handsome
woman in the care OF woman physician
on Franklin street. Philadelphia. The
man lavished attention upon her. and on
the day the child was born exclaimed.
This Is my son and heir"
Soon afterward the father disappeared
and as soon as she was able the mother
followed, escaping by night and leaving
the child and five trunks full OF fine
clothing behind her She had registered
at the institution as Minnie Bunyon," p"
but had confessed TO the nurse that the
name was not really hers. at the same
time conhding that both her husband and
herself were personages OF distinction in
an island far to the south"
Thus deserted by both OF its parents,
the infant was cared for by Mrs. Boyd.
the woman physician She had intended TO
adopt the boy, but was burned TO death
and left the child to her sister. Mrs. n. r.
Livingston. who gave him her name. and
then one day deserted him. while In At
lantlc City.
Once more a waif in the first four years
OF his life, the lad was committed to the
Chlldren's Home here.
Letters In the trunks which accompan-
led the child seemed TO indicate that he
is a legitimate son OF the distinguished
man, who is a planter upon the island of
Martinique, rich, powerful and high in
the favor of the French government,
which rules the island from Paris.

KISSING GAME

Philadelphia, July 5-Kissing games
are to be tabooed in public school play
grounds. Stringent regulations against
the old-fashioned plays in which the pen
atty Is a kiss will be suppressed by the
board of education and the medical in
spectors.
Not that these stern authorities fear
the incursion OF the little god, or wish
TO discourage amicable relations between
the youngsters; they are simply shooing
away the dread microbe and discourag-
ing the visitation OF infectious germs.
There are so many more educational
forms OF recreation now than there used
TO be-" said William A. Stechler. director
of physical instruction. that II is not
necessary 10 permit the old kissing games.
Games that require muscular activity
and skill and bring into play the develop
ment of brain and body have been sub
stituted on our recreation schedule and
we do not anticipate any trouble in doing
away with the unhealthy practice Of pro-
miscuous kissing
