LITTLE INTEREST IN BIG
FIGHTS is SURPRISING
Not Enough Breeze From John
son-Flynn and Wolgast
Rivers Bouts to Notice

Two days before two OF the biggest
championship fights OF the age there
is scarcely enough breeze about the
battles TO stir the leaves on the
lethargic tree of public interest.
Never was there SO little apparent
local interest In a heavyweight cham
pionship go as there Is in the John
son-Flynn battle at Las Vegas the day
after tomorrow. Never so little inter
est IN a lightweight championship as
In the Wolgast-Rivers bout at Vernon.
What little betting Is being done
on the bigger battle is with big odds
on the present black champion Some
wagers OF 500 to SEQ have been made.
but there hasn't been much betting
even at that, A few OF the fight fans
have some coin that they are willing
to stake on the challenger at / TO 2,
figuring that there Is enough OF
chance that Flynn may win by a fiuke
TO make that a safe investment.
Theer is almost nothing stirring
even in the way OF pre-fight gossip ex-
cept expressions Of wondermeut that
there should be so little interest in
the battle.
In the east according TO Matchmaker
Frank w. Torreyson. OF the Duquesne
Athletic club of Pittsburgh He US
ually attends all big battles but is
passing this one up. He says there
is little attention being paid to ii in
the east.
II is generally thought that the re-
suits OF both the Johnson-Flynn go
and the Wolgast Rivers bout deepnd
upon the condition OF the present
champions. II Johnson has gone
away back, Flynn may win. n VOL
CASTS operation has weakened him as
much as reputable physicians say 1t
must have Rivers stands a good
chance OF being victor.
The only thing that encourages out
siders to rely on Flynn is the wonder
full confidence he is showing. He
either has all kinds of il, or is the
premier bunk artist of the age.

STOCKHOLM. Sweden. July q
American Olympic athletes are in a
turmoil over the discovery made by
Chairman Sullivan that the Britons

The Americans and others have

American Fruit Consumption.

Statistice for 1909 show that the
apple crop of the United States was
worth $83,0O0,O0, peaches $2S.OOO,O00
grapes $22,0O0.OO0, and strawberries
$4,000, oranges reaching the same
large figures. The people of the Uni
ted States consumed $10,000,000 of
plums and prunes, 100000 Of pears
and cherries and $5,OOO0OO of the rasp-
berry.
One of the curious features of this
production of fruit has been the less
ening of the apple crop, which in the
past decade with a growing popula-
ton, has decreased from 175,000,000 to
150,000,000 barrels. On the other hand
the production of tropical fruits in
continental United States has about
trebled in the same time, and ten
times as many pineapples are grown
now as were produced ten years ago
