Jim Barry After The Winner Of
Morris Flynn 4th of July Fight.

Kansas City June 17.--Jim Flynn.
the Fighing Pueblo fireman, is the
sole survivor OF the large colony Of
boxers that swarmcd 10 this city when
the game was good. Flynn came here
as one OF the "also ram contingent
In the While Hope Stakes was fort
'unate In getting on with Al kaufman,
the 'it' of tho whito hcavlcs; cleaned
up from the San Franciscan in mast
crly fashion, ana is today the most
talked of Fighter in the Caucaslan
race. The good luck that has been
hlynns since his advent here, has
caused him TO warm up 10 the town,
ana he has decided TO do his pre-
lminary training here for hls big
lmuss with Carl Morris, which is on
the slate for July 4, in Tulsa, Okla.
Speaking OF Flynn, Kaufman and
Morris, brings to mind the name OF
Jim Barry the big Chicago chap with
'he wallop. Barry was drawn to ok
lahoma with the idea II getting II
|match with Morris lie boxed once,
Ithcn his chances Of getting the big
yellow were sent gimmcrng. lie
rushed to Kansas City to get the date
with Kaufman, trying TO beat Flynn to
the match and 1t looked as II he had
succeeded, hut Flynn and Kaufman
got together and signed up for the
scrap that made one and put the
other in the discard
Barry then hiked to Frisco where
he was dated to meet Gunboat smith.
His win over Smith was easy and he
lost no time in getting back to Kan
Ras city to tie up with Flynn. The lat
ter would not give HIM a match and
Barry was left stranded high and dry.
Jie departed for Chicago without so
much AZ match in sight while Flynn
has offers by the score, which he is
unable to handle, on account Of his
match with Carl Morris
The Kaufman-Flynn match thus
played very important part in the

CHAPTER XXI.


The revolt OF the Brotherhood left
me in pretty bad shape at the begin
ming OF the season Of 1890. Tener,
Williamson, Ryan, Pfeffer and all the
others except Burns left me with a
comparatively green bunch on my
hands. but let me say right here that
before the autumn leaves fell had
turned It into one Of the best teams
in the league. as was proved by our
finishing in second place.
No one who hasn't tried It appreci'
ates the amount OF work necessary to
break In team OF green baseball
colts. II was practically a case OF
Hobson's choice for me, and just
sailed in and worked like a beaver
getting those boys into pennant'win'
ming condition didn't succeed quite
as we'll as Connie Mack did with his
Athletics last season, but came
mighty near Il. II was hard work and
plenty OF It, and although some Of the
boys shed tears over the amount Of
drill required OF them and the strict
discipline enforced they we're Obliged
to admit in the long run that | was
right and that II was the only way
to develop the necessary playing
strength.
have never heard that any one OF
those players ever accused me OF
shirking worked mighty sight
harder than any one else on the team.
Whenever We started off on a three
mile run was at the head, setting the
pace. There's one thing shall never
have on my conscience-l never asked
man under my control to do any
thing was not willing to do myself.
| never forgot that Il was necessary
for me to be In good condition my
self.
My team for 1890 was made up AZ
follows: Hutchinson, Luby, and Stein,
pitchers; Nagle and Kittridge, catch
ers; Arson, nrst base: 0lenalvin. sec

THINGS LOOKING GOOD
FOR TULSA'S TEAM

mig" shaner, the owner OF the
Tulsa ball team, is feeling mighty
good over the way things are stacking
up in his favor and towards keeping
the team in Tulsa.
Since the Tulsa team has been con.
sistently winning. the fans Of Tulsa
have awakened from their long slum-
ber. Yesterday the banner crowd for
any week day Of the year was out and
today being Sunday, there is chance
for another record to be broken.
The season ticket plan Of raising
enough money to take the team
through is meeting with the entire
approval Of most Of the fans. No
money IS TO be turned over to the
team until the games have been play
cd. In other words, the money from
the sales of season tickets is to be
placed with some bank for safe keep
ing. when a series Off games have
been played, a collection Of a proper
tlonatc amount Of the money can be
made
If there are from seven hundred
10 a thousand out today TO see the
whizzing Railroadcrs champs beat
Sapulpa, the Tulsa aggregation win be
tolerably solA financially.
The season tickets have been print.
ed and this coming week will witness
their sale.

season, and his absence hurt our
chances very materially, as the old

condition.
When the season opened the Boston
club seemed to be the biggest gamer
IN the deal for players, and q ma

carry off the pennant. Once more,
however, the unexpected came to pass
and the championship went to New

BY winning the first game OF the

It the third straight from sapulpa,
the Tulsa Railrouders established a
record Of winning nine games out OF

which It has had in the Western AS

The Sapulpa team played gamely In
spite of the fact that from the first
the Railroaders had things all their

It's plans in general believed then,
and never had any reason to think
otherwise, that the whole business
was due to greed. The game had be-
come such money maker that Its
business end had put every other con-
sideration into the shade.

Now, originally, the Brotherhood
was a secret organization formed for
the purpose OF protecting the players
in their rights and not for the busi-
ness OF breaking up the old league
and forming new one in opposition
That came In as an afterthonght. The
order began to show It's power In 1857
when It compelled the league to draw

tract WAS adopted, the full amount OF
