JACK VISITS FLYNN
Negro Champion Gives His
Rival a Surprise.

LAS VEGAS. n. NJ, June 11.-Jack
Johnson has broken every canon of
the prizefighters' creed by making a
friendly visit TO the camp of the man
who is to try 10 take his crown on
July 4. The big black champion drove
his white wife and a party of friends
straight from Las Vegas to Monte
yuma Springs where he was given a
cordial greeting. In fact Flynn and
Johnson were as chummy as a pair
of eliminates during the time Jack was
the formers guest.
The visit was formal-a within of
Johnson's, who after lunch took his
party out as usual for a ride.
Hello, fireman" was the cham
pion's CHEEKY greeting as Flynn dropp-
ed the paper he was reading on the
porch and CAPPED in amazement at the
machine-load of enemies.
Hello, champ; how are you today"
called Flynn and the entire training
party swarnRd down the lawn to greet
Johnson. The Johnson party was
shown all over the Flynn reservation.
