DOUBLE HEADER
TODAY WILL BE A
VICIOUS BATTLE

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, June "a
With the score in games still standing
one and one for the series, thanks to a
tie game yesterday, the Crackers and
the L4ookouts hook up In contest to-
day that will rival in violence the Tro-
jan war or Republican convention,
particularly the latter,
The thing is double-header. and as
both managers, Smith and Hemphill,
believe that the get something on each
other by playing the full nine innings,
the affair will last from lunch time to
shutdown.
Vedder Sitton, the Cracker star at
present, and Luckless Tommy Atkins
are slated to hurl for the locals. For
Bill Smith. More and Coveleskie will
probably mount the hurting rostum, so
to speak.
Yesterdays encounter at Lookout
vile made the Taft Roosevelt unpleas-
antness look like a peace pact. From
early afternoon till black dark they
argued, wrestled, struggled, "cussed
and fit" And when it was all over the
score stood to 7. And the whole aft
ernoon was wasted, so far as the stand
ing of the clubs was concerned. Neither
team advanced any farther In the time
they played than the Republican con-
vention, with the committee on creden-
tials out.
There was excitement, though and
plenty of 1t. And the fans who turned
out-and there were several of them
had the time of their cold gray lives.
1t was nip and tuck, not to mention
neck and neck. up to the ninth. The
Crackers then had lead of to 4. At
that point Dessau's foot slipped, as 1t
We're, and some husky big-sticking
brought home two Loukouts and tied it
up. Nothing daunted, the Crackers
made one in the ninth. And so did the
| Lookouts. The Crackers goose egged
in the eleventh. and so did the Look
outs
Then the umpires took hand and
| Chairman O'Toole banged with his
gavel and declared the doings off for
the day.

LAS VEGAS, N. M. June
r. 22.-They'll have to rebuild
their arena out on Eighth
street before Jack Johnson will
consent to do battle in it with Jim
Flynn two weeks hence.
The ring is altogether too small
to suit the champion Of the world.
He looked over the measurements
of the ring l submitted tc him and
then shook his head sadly. Il
wouldn't think of it at ALL" he said,
as he handed back the slip. 1T
looks to me as If they built that
ring, or intended to have it to suit
Flynn's style Of boxing, or fighting
or whatever you may call 1t.
From the looks Of things you're
the only one that gave me
thought in the matter, for l wasn't
consulted at ALL"
Taking a trip out to the new
arena Yesterday morning l ran
tape line over the unfinished ring
and discovered that it was exactly
nineteen feet from post to post in
side. 1t looked horribly small to
me. l asked the foreman in charge
of the work what he figured would
be the size of the fighting space
when the ring was completed.
ut will be seventeen feet six
inches from rope to rope" he re-
piled. Knowing this might start
an argument and figuring that it
would be better to have all of the
row of this sort settled right now,
submitted the measurements to
both men.
If the ring Is to be enlarged it
must be enlarged now before fur
Their work on the seating arrange
ments is done.
In another three days the place
will be so far completed that any
changes will be out of the ques-
ton.
Flynn Wants Three Foot Ring.
We saw Flynn first, as he works
earlier in the day than Johnson.
How big would you like to have
the ring for this scrap?" Jim was
asked. About three feet. If 1 had
my way" was the confident re-
ply of the fireman. "As a matter
of fact it doesn't matter a rap to
me how big the ring is" he con-
tinued. I'D just as soon fight him
in a barrel as not, or they can
make it regulation twentyfour-
foot if they please. Any old thing
for me-" Merely another indica-
ton of the superlatively confident
spirit being displayed by the Pueblo
man.

story-vastly different When he

haps be some hard feeling among
the players as to which man was

out on a team above all others and
Is, therefore, entitled 20 the emolu-
ments.
Here is the proposition as sub
mitted:
Gentlemen: Being fans of the
dyed in the WOOL variety and
particularly so when 1t concerns
the Atlanta baseball team, we be-
iieve we have decided on a plan
that VIII make errors a novelty
and home runs, two baggers. hair
raising fielding stunts and the like
commonplace and consequently
give us a pennant contending
team, We believe the fans of At
lanta viii give their hearty CO.
operation to the raising of a bonus
by popular subscription to be do
mated to the player on the Atlanta
team excepting the manager)
who. in the opinion of three judges
to be selected, is the most useful
man to the team.
Our idea is to select a commit
tee of three baseball statisticians
and experts, one from each of the
local papers, to act as the above
mentioned judges, who shall de
eide, beginning with the next
games at home and continuing
through the remainder of the sea-
son. which player shall receive the
bonus, said judges to take into
consideration every phase and fea-
ture of such players work and
conduct on the field.
Now. you gentlemen may know
OF still better plan, or at least
have some improvements to sug-
gest in this one, but we confidently
believe that any plan similar to
this will be popular with the local
fans. and must inevitably arouse
good bit OF enthusiasm and ri
valry among the members of the
team How does the proposition
appeal to you? II you think well

Johnson Refuses to Box Flynn in 17-FoOt Ring
Challenger Says He Would Fight in Barrel

wants a twenty foot ring, the same
tends to carry his point, judging
from the. snap of his jaws while
he was talking about it.
1t is supposed that a small ring
would favor Flynn to a consider
able extent He is the rushing type
of fighter, constantly crowding his
opponent and trying his best to
keep on top of him at all times.
The smaller the space in which the
fighting is done the better for him,
for small ring gives an opponent
simmer chance of getting away
from the bulldog like rushes of the
Pueblo man
Johnson, on the other hand, being
defensive fighter and cautious to
a degree, is supposed to be favored
by the larger space in which he
has to work with an opponent and
by the same argument his chances
of making a good fight would be
ASGbS1ACa Ny Tic SIIlelllCl llJE+
At least that is the most logical
way of figuring it out.
The articles of agreement, signed
in Chicago, do not mention the size
of the ring. They simply state that
the contest is to be decided under
Queensberry rules, which in turn
state the regulation ring to be
twenty four feet cor as near that
size as practicable" The Johnson
party naturally believes that. as
there is nothing but space where
the arena is built, the ring can
be made regulation size just as well
as not.
Governor Still Silent.
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
expected, and no word was received
as to when he will be here. But ii
is certain that he is to pay Las
Vegas a call within weeks time.
Instead of the governor came
Fred Fornoff, chief of the mounted
police of the new state of New
Mexico and real Westerner, one
would expect to see holding a posi-
ton of this kind. The chief is a
man weighing ESQ pounds and with
an eye that looks right through
one.
The chief said he was here for
twelve hour stay only, but found
time during the afternoon to visit
both camps. Flynn was the only
one of the principals that he saw,
however, as Johnson was not in
when he called. The official was
well pleased with Flynn's appear
ance and after watching him at his
work for a full hour decided that
he must be in the best of shape to
stand the gruelling that he lays out
for himself every afternoon. He
saw Flynn in several of his scraps
in Los Angeles and thought Jim
looked better now than at any time
he saw him on the coast.

They should have consulted me
about it in the first place. Now,
as 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 concerned. 1t matters
little to my style of battling
whether the ring is big or little. If

was that Watson Burns. Johnson's
chief trainer, will go out to the
arena today with some of the news
paper men and inspect the place
thoroughly. His judgment will be
accepted as final by the champion,
but from what Burns said last
night it looks certain that they
never will accept the ring in it's
present shape.
Burns is something of a sticker
for the regulation in all things.
The rules, he says, call for a ring
of twenty -four feet or as near that
as 1t is possible to have it. He
