BUTTERMILK is TONIC
USED BY JOE JACKSON

CLEVELAND. June 2O.--Joe Jack
son, of the Cleveland club, is using
Nap Lajoie's batting eye tonic.
Lajoie attributes his good eye to
drinking a gallon of buttermilk a day.
Joe drank three quarts of buttermill
during a recent Nap Brown game. He
put pint bottle in his hip pocket as
he went to right field once, intending
to drink it if the Browns had a long
session at the plate A St, Louis play

MAST LAS VEGAS, n. NJ, June
2O.-How is the high altitude
of Las Vegas going to af-
feet the big fighters when they
start work in their championship
mill here on July q?
This is one Of the big questions
that everybody is asking everybody
else and a problem that is making
the betting men hesitate before
making up their minds how 10 lay
their money
Las Vegas is considerably over a
mile above sea level This makes
the air here mighty thin, and, as
one OF the Eastern men remarked
the other night when the question
came up for discussion, You have
to make two bites at it before you
get mouthful"
Even if trife inelegant that's
the whole thing in a few words
The man who isn't used to it gasps
under the strain of little exer-
ton.
Many argue that Flynn, having
been reared in the heights of Pueb--
10, Colo. is better equipped natu
rally to stand the light air than is
Johnson
The heavyweight champion re-
flutes this argument by saying that
by the day Of the contest he will
have been here long enough to be-
come thoroughly acclimated, and,
anyway, he remarks he is immune
from the effects of the air, because.
of the tremendous lung capacity
and wonderful heart that he pos
sesses.
Jack Has Wonderful Heart.
1t may be recalled that Dr. sar-
gent, the Harvard university ex-
pert, after an exhaustive examiiia-
ton of the champion, said that
Johnson's heart was one Of. the
finest he ever saw.fn an athlete.
And there yopsare. If both sides
of the argument are we'll -founded,
there is no argument at all If
Flynn, having been reared in thin
air, isn't likely to- be affected at
all by it, and if Johnson having
become thoroughly acclimated by
July 4, also is to be free from
deietertous effects. where's the
question:?
But, just the same, the natives
are raising it, and raising it strong

WILL
HURL TODAY IN
CHAT TANOOCA

CHATTANOOGA. June 20.-At noon
today the local baseball management
decided that the double header sched-
uled for today would be carried over
to Saturday. Therefore only one bat
tie will be held this afternoon.
The firm of Smith, Jordan & Co.
would rather have their hearts torn
out by the roots than to lose to the
Crackers two days in row The sin
cerity Of their hatred for the Crackers
is a marvel. They will play today's
game for all that is in thenl--and that's
good bit, even if they are slumping.
The Crackers got within hailing dis
lance of the Lookouts by winning again
yesterday
The visitors made the home club
look like bushers. They pinned stuff
all over them. 1t was, from the local
viewpoint horrid fright. Yedder
Sitton pitched as though it was the
old days and a pennant hung on his
efforts. Four hits was all the Look
outs could get. while the Crackers piled
up four times as many at the expense
Of Forrest More.
1t was fine old game, for the Crack
ers They romped That was the whole
story.
Frank Dessau will pitch for
the Crackers today, while Andy
Ware will no doubt oppose him
1t will be a case of veteran against
busher, and considering the way both
have been going lately it should be d
canter for Dessau.

PHILADELPHIA. PA. June 20

Johnson and Flynn Hearty Eaters Are Unable Devom Much Now
FIGHTERS COMPLAIN OF LAS VEGAS CLIMATE

but it is hard work. He told me
last night that 1t was the hardest
grind he ever went through and
that he wouldn't like to undertake
it again.
The famous colored gladiator is
getting the results. There is little
question of that, for Yesterday he
was well below the go pound mark
for the first time since he has been
here But it is taking Johnson's
whole ambition and a rare exhibit
tion.of will power to keep up the
clip. he has to go.
Both fighters are being affected
strangely In the matter of diet
here, too. Both. naturally hearty
eaters out Of training they are
the ightest of the camps at the
present time
A little repast like three broilers,
with all of the trimmings. is Moth
ing for johnson when he. hasn't
anything much on his mind in the
way of. training work. Between a
third and half of the rations will
suffice at. the present time.

for II and will not now. It's simply
so, and that's all know about it.
r. Wife Cooks For Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson with careful and
far-seeing eye, prepares every
morsel of food that the champion
has set before him. She even kills
all of the chickens and other fowl
that go to the table. She is a cook
of surpa ssing skill, too, and de-
lights in preparing dainties by the
score for the lord of all athletic
creation And these dishes are
never out of her sight for an in
slant until they save been rejected
or accepted by the champion. But
can say that mighty few of them
go into the discard or are passed
T. along to the second training table
occupied by the camp helpers.
Like johnson, Flynn is the
smallest eater in his camp
Jim is a careful feeder however
He has no wife to cater to him. but
he has Chic Coleman, an old
time friend and former dining
car cook, to attend to all of the
food that is set before him. And
no wife could be more painstaking
than this same Chic" who puts
up about the most appetizing ar
ray Of victuals that one could con-
sistently wish for
Long after the always faInished
helpers have plowed through their
meals Jim Is still at it, bordering
long over each mouthful and thus
getting the very best results, ac-
cording to all experts in the gas
tronomic line. Mealtime is de-
light to Flynn, because he is a
strong, healthy man; but he ex-
ercises the greatest care with his
food. despite the fact that he dis
poses of some dishes, corned beef
and cabbage. for instance, that usu-
ally are eschewed in other we'll
organized training camps.
The diet questio in both camps
is big one, but it is being handled
by perfect artists in their lines.

out certain directions of his government
regarding the Panama Canal legislation
