There are rumors, as is generally the case in matches where champion ships arc involved, that the affair is frame-up, but there is no found- ation for the stories. Any pre-ar- rangement would call for Johnson to quit to his opponent, and the ne- gros vanity would never in my opin- ion permit of him laying down to a smaller man.
 Flynn is taking a long chance; he is risking beating without monetary return worth mentioning against the chance of winning a title and there after reaping q golden harvest in pie ture receipts and theatrical engage ments; he has absolutely nothing to lose in the matter of reputation. Ninety mine out of every hundred men who follow pugisism expect Johnson to win. No disgrace will attach tc Flynn should the champion beat him, victory will mean fame and fortune that come to few men.
 1t may interest my readers if l luote few passages from a letter just at hand from "a friepd who has )een at Las Vegas for several weeks He says among other things. 'There is no denying the fact that Johnson is carrying too much weight around the ! mid section. Flynn will enter the l ring around 1S5 pounds; Johnson vii carry considerable fat with him the ! day of the flight. At first the cham pion appeared to take the whole thinf as joke, but of late has been de. , voting more time to training as if hf I is just'ibeginning to realize that tn ] job ahead calls for better condition ] While, as you said in recent article 1 the records of the men give Flynn lit ] tie chance, there are many here on ! the ground, including myself, who in tend taking flyer on the Puebl@ man on the long chance that condi. 1 tion and good handling will pull dow the prize on Independence Day.
 And, readers, as..,;my friend sug. gests, it is all question of how 5000 the champion is physically. As every. ! body knows Flynn at his best doe
 not class with Johnson at his best and whatever hope there is of Jim's ] being returned victor must be build.
