CHICAGO. July 13.-Jim Flynn. con-
queror of Al kaufman, and considered
the brightest of the numerous white
hopes" arrived in Chicago yesterday on
the trail Of B. +. Ufer. manager of Carl
Morris, the much advertised Oklahoma
heavyweight. Flynn came from Denver
and stopped or here on his way to New
York. where he expected to meet Ufer.
Coincidental with Flynn's arrival Ufer
came to Chicago yesterday from the east,
and the men have arranged';a meeting for
today, when they expect to come to
definite terms and decide on a place to
stage the bout with Morris.
Flynn expresses himself as willing to
tight the Okiahoman anywhere, and is
confident that he can put him off the
pugilistic map. Until the Morris match Ia
arranged, however. he is on the market
for bouts with any other aspirants.
Two Cities Considered.
San Francisco and PHILADELPHIA are be-
ing considered for the mill between Nor
ris and Flynn. Six rounds is the limit at
Philadelphia and unless Flynn proves
very much superior to Morris bout
there would not be satisfactory In San
Francisco the fight would probably be
scheduled for twenty rounds
Ufer said last night that while a long
fight was preferred a ten-round engage
ment would be satisfactory to him. He
asserts that he believes Morris can knock
out Flynn in that time. He will leave to-
morrow evening for Tulsa, Okla, where
Morris is now in training
