Retired NHddleweight Champion Of
the World
Here's another little knock. We may
as well get through with the knocks
while we are at il. Farth-st be 1t from
any of US to knock just for the sake
of knocking, and there is that some
thing about the Johnson Flynn black
and white fandango that should lnStlH
some mercy. But here, let's have II any
way. 1t is squ1D from the Los An
geles Times which is brief and to the
point. We quote the Times;
Jim Flynn sends a picture Of him
self sitting on a fence. He is looking
like a washerwOman, who had just fin
ished her days washing and was
waiting to gossip with her netghbor.
If Jim expects to win from Jack John
son with this corporation he had bet
ter guess again. Just think of fight
er fighting a 45-rOund fight in this
condition, and think OF what VIII be
said by those who pay fancy prices to
see Johnson perform the operation on
him, on the Fourth of July
Oh. yes. we have a little one our
selves. A southern friend raises the
question, is it proper for a white man
to shake hands with a negro before
fight" He asserts that the Johnson
Flynn match should be called off, or
this custom of the prize ring eliminated
Our friend has fought lots of negroes
with clubs and canister, the says but
he says he would never shake hands
with one. This certainly is a Sc ious
question. which as far as 1 know, never
has been advanced. We should be glad
to hear from spOrtsmen on the matter.
and to settle it for all time so that in
the future prize fighters will know
what to do
We are pleased to announce to the
suffering reader that this article is
concluded. We hope no one will be
tickled to death.

California, but his record there would
suggest he is somewhat of a demon
scrapper on his own account The only
black mark on his career was the de-
feat by Johnny Knbane and in the
light Of the more recent performances
of the latter, among them a victory
over Abe Atten, that IS nothing to be
ashamed of.
Luther McCarty's eastern debut was
made in Philadelphia last week in a
six round bout with sailor Tim Logan.
While the performance was not of the
sensational order he made a favorable
impression on a number of experts who
journeyed to the Quaker City to look
the big fellow over. Although failing
in the attempt TO stop his opponent
McCarty certainly handed him a good
licking and might have put the *. O."
over had the bout been extended a few
more rounds.
Luther was apparently a bit ner-
cOus and OVer-anXious to show to ad-
vantage on his first appearance in the
east, and as a result there was little
science to be observed in his methods
For that matter few of the heavy
weight fighters Of today can lay claim
TO any great knowledge of the art Of
boxing, so Mac will have little to fear
on that score in meeting any of the
present crop of ambitious youngsters.

prize fight. They are things of the
past, and a great many states are pass
ing laws allowing limited number of
round contests. And I think it will be
but a short time when every state will
allow boxing contests.
Of course. like all people that are
before the public there are boxers that
should be doing something else be-
sides boxing. But you will find good
and bad among all classes. do not
want to be understood as making So
ciety men out Of boxers, but L do want
to say that boxers with any reputation
can be like any other men. Because
one boxer viii be a booze fighter does
not say that they all are.
And the public must not form that
opinion Of them. A man will not be a
boxer because he likes the business
but because he can make the most
money at it. If he is a good one, he
can make more money that way, and
all of Us try to make the most money
we can.
Most boxers save their money as they
know when they are through and down
and out no one will give them any
thing. There is no more miserable man
IN the world than q broken down boxer
II he has nothing saved. As he has been
a boxer all his life he finds it hard
10 do anything else.
OF course people will say, if boxing
IS not brutal why do they knock each
other down, and why do they pull and
maui and fight in the cIinches. The
reason is this, when two good men box

Boxing matches conducted properly,
and the men taking part in them In
proper condition and matched evenly,
form the most popular sport in Amer
lea today. There is no such thing as
z. prize fight nowadays. I will try and
explain what q prize fight is. and what
a boxing match is:
Prize fighting is what they had years
ago. when men fought with bare fists,
and every knock down was a round, the
fighters were allowed TO Wrestle and
throw each other TO the ground, and
fight to a finish. That was a prize
fight, and was brutal
But in the contests OF today where
five ounce boxing gloves are used and
the men fight under rules, where they
must stand up and box for points, they
are not allowed to Wrestle or throw
each other down, and the contest is
limited to a certain number Of rounds.
The reason a great many people be
lieve boxing to be brutal is, that they
have never seen 1t, and they form their
opinion of the contests by reports they
have read in the papers. Boxing should
be compared with all kinds of sport,
with football, baseball and in fact all
sports. You very seldom hear Of a death
in the prize ring, and when you do II IS
Of some one who was not IN the proper
condition. There are 10 times more ac-
cidents and deaths in other sports than
there are in the prize ring
There is really no such thing as a

the sponge before me IlrSI round
Now it would seem that Curley made
some remark or other about the Sage
of Syracuse Anyway, Ryan, who is in
FL PasO with his boy, Howard Morrow,
who is booked to meet Jack Herrick in
JuareZ. Sunday, has issued an open lett
ter. The letter speaks loudly enough
for itself, and is as follows:
I was surprised to read an article
in your paper this morning in which 4
fellow going by name of Jack Curley,
but which is not his name, has tried
to belittle me.
Mr.. Curley should be ashamed Of
himself to try anything like that.
Il have been A fighter for 20 years
and have fought more and won more
fights than any man in the world, and
have brought out more good fighters
than any man in the world. I retired
indicated after winning the weller
and middleWeight championships of the
world.
All I have TO say in answer to Mr..
Curley is that he was trying to use
me-a man who has been on the level
all his life in the fighting game-to
boost a man who is not a fit opponent
for Jack Johnson. The match is one
that never should have been made
Just have any sporting man in the
country look up Mr.. Curley and see
what his business is and what he has
done And they will say that all he
has done was to go and get a wrestler
named Hackenschmidt and help pull
off that wrestling match in Chicago,

one may be a man that depends on get
ting into close quarters, as that is the
way he can box the best while the
other man is better standing out at
arms length.
As man boxes the best way for him
to win, they box for points and by
one man landing on the right spot he
sometimes wins the match with one
blow by knocking the other man out
Oftimes that is by landing a blow on
the right spot he knocks his opponent
down, and if he does not arise in 10
seconds he loses the match. And in
five minutes both boxers shake hands
and leave the ring good friends, as box
ing today is a matter of business.
Boxing contests limited to 10 and 20
rounds with boxing gloves and con-
tested under rules, is, as I said. before
the most popular sport in America to-
day.

Johnson aged during the past two
years2"
If the negro is still in the heyday
of his fighting fOrce-if he is as good
as when he boxed Jeffries-it seems to
me it is not possible for Flynn to have
improved enough to relieve the negro
of the championship. But if indul-
gence and excuses have left their
mark on Johnson to an appreciate
extent. he is likely to encounter full
sized mountain of trouble.
Flynn. all reports to the contrary,
is trained to the proper notch and is
trimming over with pluck and conf
dence- If he goes down he viii go
down fighting, as he did before
As to calling the winner I think any
one would be foOlhardy to attempt it.

SARTORIAL HINTS.
By Elizabeth Lee.

AS have before remarked, the fash
ionable neckwear is alike becoming TO
the elderly woman and her daughter.
l see quite old ladies are taking 10
wearing the ribbon flowers at the neck
now, though for a long time this decora-
ton was confined to younger women
only.
OF course the large blossoms are
avoided and the brilliant celors, too. but
the tiny blossoms-many of them no
larger than dime-fashioned from soft,
old pinks. pastel blues. reseda greens
and mellow yellows are very attractive
and becoming to the gray-haired woman.
The wide rufIles made from black
tulle banded with velvet are made per-
fectly fascinating by the addition OF
"a posy of flowers and dangling buds
splaced under the chin. The velvet
dainty blossoms.
Not every elderly woman can wear
this decoration, Of course. but it is safe
to say the woman who can wear the
fluffy fril can also wear the flowers.
When the chin is on the cushion order
and the neck short, then band of black
velvet half an inch wide worn around
the throat, decorated in center front
with a few flowers, will be found very
becoming If the dress is cut out slight
.1y round. For afternoon house wear this
is pretty fashion, for, while answering
all the purposes of a necklace, it is less
important than jeWelry, and so more APP
propriate for everyday wear.

There are some elderly women who

occasions, but ribbon flowers are as sim

A lace scarf fashioned into a shape

be much improved by adding spray

scarf of this kind would be lovely,

of ribbon flowers but, to my thinking,
was not altogether success. They were
set into the ruching at intervals, and
there seemed to be no reason why they
should be there at all, and perhaps this
was the reason the dainty blossoms were

A Note in Millinery.

Tagal straw, chip and the italian straws
have the preference for large hats just
at present, and of these 1t would seem
that very many will still be worn. the
toque being mainly reserved for morning
wear. A large and noticeable hat is, in
fact, voted in bad taste with practical
tailor suit, but, of course, many of these
are so 'dressy'' that we may very well
select the most elaborate Of feather
trimmed cart-wheels to wear with them
on occasion without any want of har-
mony.
The fancy for black has greatly infiu-
enced our hats. and many of us adopt the
all-black millinery, which is suited for

liners, but we have been driven to it by
the fabulous prices that the fashionable

Latest American Fashions
BY CORA MOORE.

Some Of the most effective of summer
fine white linen and heavy, coarse-look-
ing colored embroideries. AS the en-
broideries come mostly in odd, often
times garish colors, they have, of course,
to be used with discretion even In this
season, when vaporous lingeries and chif-
fons have SO largely given place to holder
treatments. In the sketch is illustrat-
ed one of the new crashes, a smooth,
more even weave than We have had be-
fore, called "Durbar'' linen, and delightful
both for dresses and suits, not to men
ton separate coats.
The tunic is given a series of tiny plaits
just across a section of the front, which
are long enough to incorporate all the
fullness, SO that a smooth fit results
over the hips. Started at the back. this
lower edge is slanted diagonally from
half length, falling over n nine-inch
founce of Bulgarian embroidery done on
old blue linen, in which Indian red is a
prominent color among the stitches. The
embroidery band follows the line of the
tunic, and, being put on with little full
ness, falls out and away somewhat from
the foundation skirt, which is usually mar
row and long for a costume of this ma
ture. The blouse, with long, rather close
fitting sleeves cut in one with It, fits
smoothly across the top and has what
small amount of fullness accrues drawn
down under an arched section of the
embroidery. The fullness at the back is
held in by band, to which is attached
a second motif of the embroidery, matching
the one in front, but down turned in pep
lum fashion. fitting snugly. A three-inch
ruffie of the plain linen, finishing with
small bow in front of old blue velvet,
outlines the neck, and a series of white
linen braid with black bone buttons down
the sleeves, the side of the tunic and
down either side of the blouse front
adds a telling touch
This model is similarly suitable for
either silk or serge In the latter case
the fiounce of embroidery might be re-
placed with one of plain red or green
serge or striped or checked material.
Minus the train it could easily be trans
formed into a smart travelling dress.
The military loops and buttons are much
admired this season as a trimming, and
dressmakers find excuse for utilizing
them as frequently as there is the slight
est opportunity.
