Jack Johnson Stays Fat, But
Derides All His Challengers

r AS VEGAS, n. NJ, June 6.-It's
funny how the desert heat
acts upon the fighters. Jim
Flynn, training for his great
Fourth of July fight with Jack
Johnson, is red as a broiled lobster
these days. His face and neck are
studies in flaming scarlet and he
sweats like an honest plowhorse
and reduces his weight ounce by
ounce.
Jack Johnson never has looked
like a broiled lobster and never
will. He doesn't sweat when he
works and so far as is noticeable
he doesn't shed any of his superflu-
GUS avoirdupois. And as for the
complexion of his countenance, it
looks as much as ever like the en-
trance of the Hoosac tunnel at
midnight
Flynn today weighs 204 pounds;
Johnson says he is under 230 but
he doesn't look It, Jack makes
much of the fact that he is only
going to claim the championship
up to Labor day. Then, he says,
he's going to retire. Adelina Patti
used to say the same thing, but
Johnson says he means It. And jim
Flynn, in his heart of hearts, actu-
ally believes that Johnson is going
to permanently retire before that.
To be specific, Flynn is cocksure
that Johnson is going to be frisked
Of his crown on July and that
henceforth he will become a come
back" claimant.
Yes; I m going to retire, but not
because l expect to be thumped,"
said Johnson today.
A Modern Alexander.
I'm like Alexander the Great
I'm too good. There isn't any one
else to lick. I'm going to stick
to my original proposition. After
whale Flynn I will fight a man a
week until Labor day and then it
will be curtains for Jack Johnson.
III guarantee to lick all the hopes
in the world between July 4 and
Labor day-red hopes, white hopes,
blue hopes and black hopes. I'll

can lick Langford, too don't forget
that. I'm the human thrashing ma
chine and they can send all the
boys they want to my mill"
Talks Much; Trains Little.
Jack talked more today than he
trained. He refuses to take Flynn
very seriously and is sure he will
win in few rounds He is keep
ing good hours, however, and takes
considerable road exercise. But he

stalls and talks and skylarks with
his boxing partners. The Whole
four are classed 8 being the worst
specimens of boxers that ever fol-
lowed the campfire of a champion.
Not one of the four ever won even
preliminary fight in his life. But
Jack doesn't care. He swats them
all impartially and lovingly-black
and white alike.
At Montezuma Springs Flynn's
training partners get different
treatment. Flynn isn't enough of
boxing craftsman to spare them.
He never learned to hit easy and
Al Williams, Bay Marshall and
Howard Morrow are having a sweet
time of it.
Flynn boxes like he fights. He
wallops with all his might and all
three are ready to quit; in fact,
they have quit temporarily. All
three were so bunged up today that
there was no boxing matinee and
Tommy Ryan is wondering where
he can get a new set of trainers for
Flynn.

Wy THY is it that so many play
wv er-managers find it so
convenient or necessary to
lay off so much longer and oftener
after they are appointed managers,
than when they were in the rank
and file and had some one else to
dictate to them whether they
should be in the lineup or not?
There have been so many in
stances when it has appeared as if
player managers had taken advan
tage of their position and authou
ty to lay off at times when it did
not seem to be by reason of abso-
lutte necessity that owners of clubs
have come to the stage where they
may ask questions that might be
embarra ssing to certain players
who have been raised to manage
rial positions while in active field
service and fully able and capable
to continue.
We do not make any invidious
comparisons, but it seems to have
been an almost invariable custom
that when players have been lifted
to the more exalted position of
leaders. that off days have been
with them much more frequent
than before their advancement.
There have been cases, Of course,
such as those of Chance and Doom,
where accidents have prevented
those conscientious, loyal and am
bilious PLAYER managers from be-
ing regularly and constantly on ac-
tive duty, but there are many
others. who have put themselves in
the position to warrant the impress
sion that the baseball easy life was
more in their minds than a strict
appreciation of what they owed to
their employers, as we'll as to the
baseball public.
Minor injuries and ailments have
been exaggerated more than they
surely would have been if some
certain player managers were not
the sole judges Of their own physi-
cal condition.
When a club owner promotes a
player to manager. the player
shows certain mental character
istics of leadership as well as supe-
rior ability as a player. 1t would
never do to place a player over the
heads Of his fellows who was not
superior in playing ability. If that
were done, good bye to his author
ity Professional ball players were
never known to accept with good
grace the advice of any manager
whom they knew had less knowl-
edge of the game or ability to play
it than they 1t is managers
personality. too, a certain in born
characteristic as a leader Of men,
than all successful managers have
been and are blessed and fortified
with that enable them to hold their
players to their work as friction
less team. And without that sys-
tenn of unity. up goes the whole
shooting match
1t is therefore an absolute neces-
sity for the manager to be on the
job and in the place where his best
services can be rendered. If on the
field as an active player. then in
the lineup as often as possible
if on the bench and coaching lines,
right there, otherwise his PLAYERS
will have lapses that will put them
out of the running
