The confidence which the fans show
in Flynn is explained in many ways.
The fireman never hukes on a fight, al
ways sets the pace or tries to do so,
and always fights to the last ditch.
Sometimes he loses, but when he goes
down for the count of fails to earn the
decision his opponent usually goes to
the repair shop for a few days, and has
to acknowledge that the Pueblo boy
was there all the time UP to the finale
His awkward style of lighting has be-
fuddled many q clever boxer, Philadel-
phia Jack O'Brien among them, while
his desperate fighting always keeps the
other fellow busy trying to keep his
head above water, Tommy Burns, for
instance. Flynn realizes the extent Of
his popularity and the further fact that
many Of his good friends are betting on
him to win. Because of this, the game
railroader is training harder for this
fight than ever before, and While he
was as fit as a fiddle when he fought
Joe Willis, he will go into the ring
next Tuesday night in much better con-
dition.
The officials of the Pacific Athletic
club went out to Doyle's club yester
day to see the fireman work. desiring
to see whether he was in that excel
lent condition which had been report
ed. They were much impressed with
his condition and speed and the work.
out He went three furious rounds
with Mexican Pete and took on Dick
Allen for a similar session, giving both
of them plenty to do to stay on the
job, as usual.
Notwithstanding the admission fee
that is charged at the club where Sam
Langford is training, the training
quarters were crowded with fans when
terday afternoon. Langford agreed to
this admission fee for two very excel
lent reasons. One was because he does
not care for the applause of the
crowds while he is training and the
other reason is that the money will
assist in paying his training expenses.
LangfoTd went through with his usual
strenuous program during the hour
that he worked. He wound up with
twelve rounds of boxing, taking on
Jim Cameron for three rounds, Bob
Armstrong for a pair, Arthur Collins
for three and Young Langford the
ball player, and Bill Pettus for two
rounds each. After the workout he
showed no effects of the strain and
did not draw a long breath nor show
misplaced wisp Of hair. He assured
~ is in great condition and will be bet
ter than ever in his ring career Tues
day night.
Interest in the fight is indicated in
degree by the extraordinary demand
for tickets this early in the sale. More
than $500 worth of the pasteboards
