Jim Flynn. the Dugilistic worlds most interesting character on this day and date, inasmueh as he is to be Lil' Artha Johnsons opponent in the Fourth of July battle at Las Vegas. N. M., is already booster for Hot Springs, and he only came to town on Monday Tt was on my sugges- tion that Jack Curley and came here" stated Flynn, in the rotunda of the Arlington hotel last night "Curley first arranged to take me to French Lick for a rest previous to starting active training in Las Vegas, but l said Hot Springs looked like the best town 10 me and here's where we came. Incidentally, l know that we did not make any mistake in coming to the spa.
 "The little road work nave done here, coupled with those two exhila- rating baths, have me feeling as fresh as a daisy and after I got through my theatrical tour of II weeks in Chl- cago last Thursday night, was com pletely Jagged out Honestly, l did not think would want to start my training going for a month I plan to remain in the city for another week if not 10 days, and l know that when l strike Las Vegas the first week in May will be anxious to hit it up in earnest
 Flynn, in company with Manager Curley and Art Grenier, the famous automobile driver, took two hours hike over the mountains yesterdap morning Then, following his bath early in the afternoon, Jim drilled up and down Central avenue most of the afternoon. After dinner he saun- tered out to Wilmington park and back, Incidentally, Flynn was in his room at the Arlington before 10 o'clock and in bed in iig-time.
 Tommy Ryan the former king Of the mlddleweights, and one of the brainiest, craftiest warriors the pugil. istic world has ever known. is to train Flynn for the first fight with Jack Johnson. Ryan has been or dered to be in Las Vegas no later than May 8. Jim Corbett was engaged to prepare Jim Jeffries for the old champions battle with Johnson at Reno, but the sporting and reading public generally will recall that lief. fries refused to follow any of Cor. bett's teaching in his early work He brought Gentleman Jim on to put him into trim, but then foolishly allowed all of Jim's advice to run for old Pop Sweeney.
 Flynn, though. will be a different | pupil. He and Corbett met for the first time in union station in St Louis last Sunday night They made each other in jiffy and Corbett frankly admitted that where original ly he did not intend even witnessing the fight July 1 in Las Vegas, he would not only be on deck but that he would aid Flynn in his training if his services were considered valuable
 You bet l want you, Corbett ir fact, I'll be honored to have you around. stated Flynn
 Well, I'll be there and I'll canoe seme theatrical time so as to be or hand early in the game" chimeC back Corbett.
 So Flynn. who is of the type of chaI who Is bound to adhere to the advic, of such renowned ring men as Ryar and Corbett, is bound to be in goot ] hands while in training quarters ! Furthermore. he is sure to learn al much as those two smart warrior can teach Hot Springs is not onh ;; beeing boosted by Flynn, but Jacl { Curley and Greiner have also enrolled themselves as staunch champions o the Garden of Health'-t borrow { the new cognomen slipped the tow by Haberdasher Billy Parrish.
