Before the Picture Men Are Ready

Men who believe the fight is
PLANNED as the medium of q
T Killing" say it will be simple for
Johnson to excuse his failure by
charging 1t to the life he has led
Esince defeating Jeffries.
re Against this, men who know the
champion say he is too proud to
throw away the title, which means
much to him, and that he is
tobsessed with the idea of retiring
I,as an undefeated champion, in
stead of as a man who went down
before a white boxer.
Little betting has been done, al
though one hears of large sums Of
fered. 1t is probable no important
bets will be made until the day
of the match. Johnson should
be prohibitive favorite.
This has been a bad year for
champions. Johnson may find his
stamina gone, and maybe there IL
something in the stories. But Il
would not surprise form players

or twelfth round, after the moving

Wolgast's Arm Swollen; To
Be Well BY Time to Fight

LOS ANGELES. Cal, July b.
With his left arm swollen far be-
yond its natural size, AID Wolgast
is submitting to the ministrations
of a corps of masseurs
Wolgast injured his arm Sun
day during a workout with one
of his sparring partners.
1t was painfully bruised over
the spot where the arm was
broken on Jack Redmonds skull
two years ago. Doctors who are
caring for the champion stated
that the soreness will be entirely
gone before Thursday. Aside
from this injury Wolgast claims
to be in excellent shape, although
his appearance would belle his as
sertion. His weight is but a trifle
over 1928 pounds and he looks
slender and drawn.

Umpiref Tommy Moran came
near getting his dues yesterday
afternoon in the stadium when
= mob of Justly angry fans
swarmed over the field, threaten
ing to beat him up" after he had
made so many bungling decisions
As to convince the fans that he
had "stolen" the game. But for
the timely interference of a po-
lice squad under Capt. J. w.
Needham and the action OF the
Tacoma players in crowding about
him as he left the field, 1t is pos
sible that Moran would have eth

Moran is all that an umpire Is
NOT. He IL q cute little specimen
of humanity with an ivory dome
and . penchant for "bossing" the
diamond tyranically and hogging
the players salaries by fines, with
1tter disregard for the right and
Just. This statement applies
particularly to yesterdays game.
He began by filming Ben Hunt SIS
for disputing decision over a
pitched ball, ordering Mike Lynch
from the field, apparently with
out reason, and then twice called
Tacoma players out when even
the Spokane players admitted
they were not out. Then he
broke all of the rules governing
mmpires by talking back" to the
fans In the grandstand. His ex-
hibition Of yesterday should be
enough to convince President
Fielder Jones that he Is not want
ed longer in the league.

Absence of betting and. the long
odds stories that Johnsen isn't do

to the first story. The latter is
the opinion of men who believe
the fight Is honest and who al

1t is said that men close to john

Flynn can't hit johnson in a
20-foot ring with handful of
nickels, unless Jack lets him." is
the terse way one fight follower
expresses the difference between
the men.
1t is true that there Is always
talk of dishonesty before big bat
ties. At Reno, two days before
the deluge, George Little, ex-man-
lager of Johnson, appeared with
the papers" and said Johnson had
agreed to lay down in the twelfth
round for money already paid, and
that he had bet his end of the

There is something doing" in
this Flynn-Johnson fight. but 1t
will take a Sherlock Holmes to
find 1t. The first question asked
when a new one hits town is,
why is everybody boosting
Flynn?" Trying to get the an
swer is as hard as beating four
aces without a cannon, but the
problem is partly solved by Flynn
himself.
If there is anything doing
Flynn must know it SO well that
there is no possibility that he can
lose. no matter what may arise.
He seems to have a confidence
born of something other than a
fixed ''in." Never was there such
a cock sure boxer, and it is not

every big fight that he hands out.

fident as ever.
Flynn gave his matching mates
notice last Sunday that he would
need their services no longer,
and there was general rejoicing
among the tribe thatn has aided
in getting the Pueblan In shape.
Speculation as to how far the
battle will go and what are the
chances OF the challenger has be-
gun to grow warmer.
The concensus of opinion is
that IL johnson fails to stow the
fireman away within ten rounds
he will be beaten. Members of
the Flynn camp to a man agree
that Flynn will be badly worsted
during the first seven or ten
rounds, but that IL Johnson does
not finish the Job within that
time Flynn viii go to the front
and wear the black down and
beat him.
The confidence In both camps
shows no diminishing and IL II
were left to sentiment there
would be two badly beaten men

Flynn's followers, however,
seem to be stouter In their adj
herence and are perfectly sure
that Jim will be the champion

They cannot see how Johnson
can win, and some have cracked

bit on Flynn.

are miles away and, in fact, about
10000 of them will never get
here.
II there are 5000 persons
around the ring when the battle
begins 1t will be a great surprise

Flynn and Johnson were out
early today, both going for long

L here has never bee. d 'lhe
during the past fifteen years that
as much snow has fallen as during
the past winter. w. B. Kelso,
fores, ranger, who has had occa-
sion to visit all sections, both Dy
thoud and Argentine passes'
states that in some places he has
found the snow as deep as forty
feet.
He says that the gulleys are
packed and he has given warm
ing to miners at work to be on the
lookout for snow slides in the
the early spring.
"If slide should start in some
places where l have been re-
marked kelso, ''it would result

that most of the cabins are cou
structed with a view of escaping

one cannot tell just what course 1t

MEN WHO MAKE SAFES.
Closely Watched After They Resign Of
Are Discharged.

A number of years ago two pr0spec-
tive safe breakers succeeded in obtain
ing employment in two different safe
factories. worked over period of
years in the various departments. gain
ed all the information that they desired
and. subsequently working together.
managed to battle the safemakers by
their skill in opening complicated safes
in different parts of the country.
The police were at loss to understand
how the safes had been opened. and
only upon the apprehension of the two
men several years later was 1t learned
that the jobs had not been inside"
ones. as was originally suspected. but
had really been the work of two men
who had been initiated into the mys-
teries Of safecraft and had put their
knowledge to criminal use.
This put the safemakers on their
guard. and an exceedingly complicated
system was Immediately put into force.
whereby not only was the pedigree of
evory workman looked into closely. but
the work among the employees was SO
separated that no one man or two men
could gather enough information about
safe to put it to dangerous use after,
ward. Furthermore. when an employee
is discharged or when he voluntarily
leaves his position his actions are
watched. and. although safe companies
refuse to discuss this particular point.
it is matter of record that any for
mer employee Of safe company who
is possessed of intimate information
regarding the secrets of that COM
pany's safes is kept under constant
surveillance.-Harper Weekly.
