terday at Fort de Russy. Denny Leary
and Kid Baker took him along for
several speedy rounds and at more
than one period Cordell and the soldier
engaged in a rally in which real fight
ing figured.
Cordel is now in very shape and
with the work yet for him to do will
strip & very fit man on Saturday next.
Kid Baker who is billed to box six
rounds with Moriarty at 100 pounds
is now down to weight and good and
strong at that.
This afternoon a number of visitors
are going out to Cordell's camp and
Cordell will again 90 some strenuous
work
Yamogata, the Japanese boxer, will
work at Fort de Russy this afternoon,
his sparring partner being Young Lay

At MecarthyViIIe.
Word came in from Leilehua this
morning that Johnny Mccarthy boxed
four good rounds yesterday, four each
with Bauersock and Moriarty Every
member of the trio is in fine shape
and will be there with bells on Satur-
day.
The advance sale of seats is now
proceeding merrily at the store of M.
A. Gunst G Co.
George Ingle who was operated on
for hernia on Saturday Is progressing
as we'll as can be expected and is using
every endeavor to get his doctor to
allow him to witness the Cordell-Mc-
Carthy contest. 1t is very rough on
George to be confined to bed at such
an interesting time but he has the
satisfaction of knowing that his injury
has been thoroughly treated and that
it will never bother him again. That
is certainly worth spending a couple
of weeks the hospital for, even If
good scrap has to be missed.
Flynn Vs. johnson.
Two years ago this coming Fourth
of July an enormous crowd of race
goers and merrymakers listened to
the reading of the .Johnson-Jeffries
fight bulletins at Spreckels' Park, Ka-
hului.
On the coming Fourth it is prob
able that hundreds of the same crowd
will listen to the reading of the bulle-
tins of the Johnson-Flynn battle for
the worlds championship.
In the fight two years ago Johnson
was to l short-ender. This year
Flynn will probably figure on the
snort end at odds of perhaps to 2.
viii there be another short-end vic
tory? VIII Jim Flynn, buster of
white hopes, put the kibosh on the
giant black? That is the question
which is agitating all sportdom the
world over today.
While we must confess that there
is no occasion for the white race to
grow wildly excited over Flynn's
chances of beating the black cham
pion, still, We must also confess that
if Flynn can't, there isn't white
man on earth who can. And Flynn
has a chance. The masterful way in
L. md
kaufman, both much bigger and
heavier men than himself, shows his
ability to reach big men effectively,
and he has always shown that he is
game, tough as iron, and Juggling a
kick in his fist that meant good
night" to the biggest man when it
lands. If jim Flynn carried 20 pounds
more in weight, and had three inches
added to his stature, we would call
upon the white race to get up en-
masse right now and bust the blue
canopy of heaven wide open with glad
hosannas over his chances of eliminat
ing the black race from one champion
ship next July. In the coming battle
Flynn will weigh about 1914 pounds
and stands feet 9 IL inches, while
Johnson will weigh between 215 and
22O pounds, and stands feet IL inch
His Career in Ring.
Jim Flynn's right name is Andrew
Chiariglion, and we don't blame him
for changing it. If he ever crawled
through the ropes with that name tag
ging after him he'd trip over it in
the clinches. Flynns father died
while he was yet training on a milk
bottle diet, and his stepfather, an Ital
ian brought the name Chiariglion in
TO the Flynn family, and pressed II
upon the future white hope
