STRAIGHT DOPE ON THE FIGHTS
BY w. w. NAUGHToN

San Francisco, June S0.-The coming
Fourth of July will see two world g
championship pugilistic events. One will
be for the heavyweight championship
of the world. The scene of strife will be
at Las Vegas, N. NJ. and the principals
will be Jack johnson and Jim Flynn
The other affair will take place at Yer
non. outside of Los Angeles. Vt will be
for the lightweight championship and
will be between AID Wolgast and Joe
Rivers
Candidly neither of these events is at
tracing the attention that attaches to
worlds championship disputes and one
does not have to look for the reason. In
neither instance is the contest regarded
as a tilt between a pair of evenly matched
men.
The suspicion that Jack Johnson may
have slowed UP during a counle of years
of inactivity and high living is the one
peg on which the admirers of Jim Flynn
hang their hopes. The thought that an
operation for appendicitis may have rob-
bed Wolgast of his snap and speed is the
one thing that makes divers chances of
success appear the least bit rosy.
1t Is easy enough to verify this view of
things. II Wolgast had not been taken
down with appendicitis and forced to lay
off several months, Rivers chances in a
match with the champion would be con-
sidered SO small that the idea of the men
signing would haze been generally ridi-
culed.
But Wolgast was under the knife and
the suspicion existed that Wolgast as a
champion had passed away. To put the
thing to the test it was necessary for
some one to be sent against Wolgast-it
mattered little who, and Rivers was the
handiest.
The men who consider themselves best
fitted to crack at Wolgast--towit, Pacxey
Mcfarland, Freddie Walsh and maybe
Knockout Brown, would have objected
strongly to this Wolgast-Rivers affair
II there had been no appendicitis but as
matters stand all Ads most formidable
rivals are viewing things complacently.
They regarded the match as test case.

Almost every baseball player in the
league declares that Boyd has as much

circuit. He has proved TO be tower
of strength to the Barons and will prob
ably keep up his record. When Boyd

he has been member of the Selma

back to the minors. Last year he went
up to Cincinnati. CLARK Griffith took an
interest in him and taught him lew
tricks about doing slab work. But Hank
O'Day took charge and Boyd was sold
to Birmingham. The newspaper writer's
declared that Cincinnati had turned Its
best recruit back and said that he was
sure to return.
The reason that Boyd was turned back
was not on account of his inability to
hurl winning ball. When he went to
Cincinnati no one seemed to be very
friendly. However. there was one man
who seemed more sociable thHn the rest
and Boyd decided to chum WITH him. This
was very slight connectiA however,
and they were not seen often together.
However, this man was in bad with the
manager. He was looking upon the red,
red wine.''
Although Boyd was unaware of this,
he was sized up by the manager as be-
ing an undesirable and was turned over
to Birmingham. However, here the young
twirler has been everything other than
an undesirable. He has always kept in
the pink of condition and has followed
Ben F'ranlSin's rule of early to bed,
etc. as rigidly as the democrats follow
Bryan.
Boyd believes that he Will return to
the big show for good this time and
that he will live within the desired bor-
der for the rest of his natural life. He
has had enough experience to be ripe.
He has a good arm, a lot of speed and is
a heady pitcher. But above all requisites
he has nerve.
While the National league bugs are
raving over the efforts of Richard Mar

be telling their children of the record

If Wolgast shows he is the Wolgast of old

This means that while reverse for VOL

such possibility.
A Sunday or two ago, in discussing the
Flynn-Johnson outlook, I took occasion
to refer to the fact that there was not a
great deal of difference in the mems ages,
the record books showing that Johnson
was "a while Flynn had passed his thirty
second birthday. The publication of the
article brought me a note of protest
from one who is certainly in a position to
acquire inside information of such mat
ters
Said the note: For your own guidance
I want to tell you that the record book
does not state facts. Johnston is fully
thirty-six years old while Flynn is only
thirty"
If this Is so, Flynn's chances are sonle-
what better than figured. But whether
Johnston be "a or SO, the question in a
nutshell is-how much has johnson aged
during the past two years?'
If the negro is still in the heyday Of
his fighting force--if he is as good as
when he boxed Jeffries--it seems to me IT
is not possible for Flynn to have I'M
proved enough to relieveVtl he colored man
of the championship. But IL indulgence and
excesses have left their mark on john

to encounter full sized mountain OF
trouble.
