TODAY WILL Be A
VICIOUS BAIT TIE

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 Lookouts hook up in contest to-
day that will rival in violence the Tro-
jan war or a 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 rostrum. so
to speak.
Yesterdays encounter at Lookout
Vile made the Taft Roosevelt unpleas-
antness look like peace pact. From
early afternoon till black dark they
argued. wrestled, struggled, "cussed
and f1t." And when 1t was all over the
score stood Z TO 7. And the whole aft
ernoon was wasted, so far Is the stand
Ing of the clubs was concerned Neither
team advanced any farther In the time
they played than the Republican con
ventton, with the committee on creden-
tisls out
There was excitement. though, and
plenty of It, And the fans who's 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 a lead of to 4. At
that point Dessau's foot slipped, as 1t
were, and some husky big sticking
brought home two Lookouts and tied 1t
up, Nothing daunted, the Crackers
made one in the ninth. And so did the
Lookouts. The Crackers goose-e gged
in the eleventh, and so did the Look
outs
Then the umpires TOOK a hand and
Chairman O'Toole banged with his
gavel and declared the doings off for
the day

The ring Is altogether too small
to suit the champion of the world.

looks to me as il they built that
ring, or intended to have 1t to suit
F7ynn's style of boxing, or fighting
or whatever you may call it.
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 ] 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. 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 1t
would be better to have all of the
row of this sort settled right now,
I 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 had
my way" was the confident re-
ply of the fireman "As q 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 1t regulation twenty-four-
foot if they please. Any old thing
for me-" Merely another indica-
ton of the superlatively confident
spirit being displayed by the Pueblo
man.

Johnson Refuses to Box Flynn in 17-Foot Rims
Challenger Says He. Would Fight IN a Barrel

wants q twenty foot ring, the same
as the champion himself and in
tends to carry his point, Judging
from the snap of his jaws while
he was talking about 1t.
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 a 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
lessened by the smaller ring.
At least that Is the most logical
way of figuring 1t 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 we'll
az 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 it
is certain that he is to paw Las
Vegas call within a 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 2,
man weighing $50 pounds and with
T an eye that looks right through
one.
The chief said he was here for a
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 FYynn's appear
ance and after watching him at his
work for full hour decided that
he must be in the best of shape to
stand the gruelling that he laws 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.
