With these words addressed to the
mob of at least 1000 persons at Montez-
una, Jim Flynn closed his boxing work
and practically his entire training for
the johnson battle of Thursday after
noon: The applause was deafening at
the close
There were so many people at Flynn S
beautiful place that they were walEzng
on each others heels.
At least sixty percent Of the throng
was made up of women.
Tommy Burns, former champion of
the world, Will be here within 48 hours.
1t was announced last night that
Burns would be in charge of the Flynn
corner during the scrap.
Burns probably will be the only ex-
champion on the ground now that Jim
Corbett has announced definitely that
he cannot be here.
That Flynn is in great shape is abso-
lutely certain now. Only a glance is
necessary to show this.
Last night Tom Flanagan of Toronto,
in charge of the affairs at Jack john
sens camp got his first peek at the
challenger. Flynn came into town last
night to visit a little and in the club
headquarters came face to face With
Flanagan. Jim was regular Willie
f-the-yacht, being clad in white duck
trousers white canvas shoes and a
Norfolk jacket of blue.
Flanagan looked at him in amaze
pent and then congratulated him on
&, Is good condition. They kidded lit
and finally Tom said:
