DOUBLE HEADER
TODAY WILL De A
VICIOUS BATTLE

CHATTANOOGA. TENN, June a.
With the score In games still standing
one and one for the series, thanks to
tie game yesterday, the Crackers and
the Lookouts hook up in a 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 Lucklesa Tommy Atkins
are slated to hurl for the locals For
Bill Smith. More and Coveleshe will
probably mount the hurting rostrum. so
to speak.
Yesterdays encounter at Lookout
Vile made the Taft Roosevelt unpleas-
antness look like a peace pact. From
early afternoon till black dark they
argued, wrestled, struggled, "cussed
and fit" And when It was all over the
score stood to 7. And the whole aft
ernoon was wasted so far as the stand
ing of the clubs was concerned. Neither
team advanced any farther in the time

vention. with the committee on creden-
tials out
There was excitement. though and
plenty of It, And the fans who turned

1t was nip and tuck, not to mention
neck and neck, up to the ninth. The
Crackers then had lead of 6 to L. At
that point Dessau's foot slipped as it
were, and some husky g-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 egged
in the eleventh, and so did the Look
outs
Then the umpires took a hand and
Chairman OToole banged with his
gavel and declared the doings off for

Johnson Refuses to Box Flynn in 17-Foot Ring
Challenger Says He Would Fight in Barrel

wants a 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 It,
1t is supposed that a small ring
would favor Flynn to a consider
able extent. He Is the rushing type
Of fighter, constantly crovding 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
a simmer chance of getting away
from the bulldog-like rush4s of the
Pueblo man.
Johnson, on the other hand, being
p defensive fighter and cautious to
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 it 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 "or as near that
size as practicable" The Johnson
party naturally be1ieves thai. az
there is nothing but space where
the arena is built, the ring can
be made regulation size Just as we'll
BE not.
Governor Still Silent.
Governor Mcdonald again disap-
pointed the local business men who
are interested in the big doinSs Of

well pleased with Flynn's appear

he must be in the best of shape to

saw Flynn in several of his scraps
in Los Angeles and thought Jim

he saw him on the coast.
