Jeems Flynn, the ever hopeful and
confident Pueblan, gave his hair toss
and his sparring gloves a fling into a
corner of his training camp at Vernon
yesterday, and, breathing easily after
the afternoons work, talked of the
coming mill with Montana Jack Sulli-
van, which Manager McCarey of the
| Pacific Athletic club will stage Tuesday
night at Maud. From Flynn's methods
| of conditioning the newcomer might
surmise that Jim was stacked up
| against a champion, or at least a for
midable contender for light heavy
weight honors. But Flynn's talk speed
lily disclosed that he considers the bat
tie as good as won.
This Montana fighter will be easy
for me-" is the kind of copy that Flynn
| hands out, and he says it with all earn
estness. II don't want to belittle him,
and l never make the mistake of I'M
derestimating an opponent and train
| ing accordingly am working as
faithfully for Sullivan as did for Jack
johnson, but unless Montana Jack has
discovered wallop since he fought AL
Neill it won't go the limit. What 1
want is rushing fighter. Those are
the boys l can trim, and from what l
hear of Sullivan he is just my meat"
Flyilu DdCheTS seem TO nOlQ TO the
same opinion, but in the Sullivan camp
at Venice, where the Montanan is peg
ging away, assisted by corps of train
ers large enough for champions staff,
reports come of equal confidence. The
cowboy pugilist is somewhat of a dark
horse among the locals, for this is his
| first appearance in local ring. He is
a broad shouldered, rugged specimen of
manhood, with powerful jaw and de-
termined manner. Also it is rumored
around his quarters that there is a stiff
punch concealed in the brawny arms.
AL Emmick arrived yesterday from
| San Francisco, and went to Venice to
round out his training with Sullivan.
| The San Franciscan had several days
preparation before he took the train
south, and as the boys will make a

can set fast pace. Webster trained
for an hour yesterday afternoon at the
pavilion, working with Norman Stone.
He guarantees to give AIS aspirations
for quick victory and added prestige
sudden setback, and has offered to
give Emmick any side bet the north
erner wants.
Jake Arnold and Charlie Boesen were
yesterday matched by the Pacific Ath-
lettc clug to fight one of the four-round
preliminaries for next Tuesday evening.

and incidentally to aid his pocketboox
| in a return march. San Francisco is
helping the Sullivan twins to an easy
| living, apparently, and has given the
twins sufferance where Los Angeles
would give them cold welcome. The
southern fight fans insist on seeing
men in action who will give them u
real battle. Jack Twin it seems now
has the Pete Young Peter Jackson bee
in his bonnet. 1t is not beyond posi-
bilities that the Bay City fans will be
asked to patronize such an unspeak-
able exhibition.
