New York, June 20.-Jack Johnson is in
this town.
Not in mortals' shape, but in the form
of ten thousand dollars, which says that
Johnson beats Flynn and also that VOL

Fourth. The big black champion is rep
I motor of New orleans. Walsh received
the commission from the title holder sew
eral days ago to bet the money at odds of
6 to in combination form. Up to yes
terday he had placed $500 among some of
the leading citizens who love to take a
flyer. According to Walsh's figures.
Johnsons price is 1 to and Wolgast Z
6 to 6, but Lii Artha'' is willing to chop
off the slight percentage to get his dough
down.
Walsh expects to get down some more
coin today, as he leaves for Las Vegas
tomorrow. From the inside dope he has
received recently, Thomas expects John
son to win in very short order. Don
think that the champion is taking Flynn
too lightly remarked Walsh, for he s
not. Up to a week ago Jack didn't pay

Jack Suspects Treachery.
With johnson it was a different
matter. 1T won't do he said. They
should have consulted me about it in
the first place. Now, as a matter of
fact, I'd just as soon fight Flynn or
any other man in the world on an
electric wire as far as fighting is con-
cerned. 1t matters little to my style
of battling whether the ring is big or
little. If I can win in a big ring I
can win in a small one, or vice versa,
but it hurts me to think that they
may be trying to put one over on me
in this manner.
mo, sir, 1 must insist that the ring
be at least twenty feet inside of the
inner ropes"
Governor Mcdonald again disap-
pointed the local business men who
are interested in the big doings of
July 4. He didn't appear at all as ex-
pected and no word was received as
to when he will be here.
Instead of the governor came Fred
Fornoff, chief of the mounted police
of the new state of New Mexico.
The chief said he was here for a
twelve hour stay only, but found time
during the afternoon to visit both
camps.
It now looks like almost certainty
that the governor will keep his hands
off the whole thing and simply will do
nothing about it. There is one thing,
however, that he is decidedly against
first, last and all the time. That is
public gambling.

RING TOO SMALL
Johnson Insists Mistake Due to
Not Consulting Him.
Flynn Says He's Willing to
Fight in Barrel.
(BY ED w. SMITH.l

East Las Vegas, N. M, June I'll
They'll have to build their arena out
on Eighth street before Jack johnson
will consent to do battle in it with Jir
Flynn two weeks from this afternoon
The ring is altogether too small to suit
the champion of the world.
Taking the trip out to the new arena
yesterday morning 1 ran a tape line
over the unfinished ring and discover
ed that it was exactly 10 foot from
post to post inside. It looked horribly
small to me. I asked the foreman in
charge what he figured would be the
size of the fighting space when the ring
was completed.
1T will be II feet inches from rope
to rope he replied. Knowing this
might start an argument and figuring
that it would be better to have all of
the rows of this sort settled right now,
1 submitted the measurements to both
men.
We saw Flynn first as he works
earlier in the day than does Johnson.
How big would you like to have the
ring for this Scrap Jim was asked,
about three feet If I had my way
was the confident reply of the fireman.
