Tommy Ryan Ont to Develop
Flynn Into Another Sharkey

over in the Flynn camp at Mon
tezuma Springs they are going
ahead with persistent method try
ing to evolve a way to snatch the
crown away from Johnson. Flynn
is roughing it in the cliPhes and
Johnson's Adams apple is going to
be one of the objective points of the
title challenger Flynn is being
coached to bump hard with his
head as he goes into the clinches.
Willy Tommy Ryan's hand is seen
in this.
Johnson is nearly head taller
than Flynn and he's likely to get
many a bump and jolt under the
chin, provided Jim can get under or
through the champions guard.
Ryan is trying to teach Flynn
how to stop punches in some other
way than taking them on the jaw.
Flynn. a Modern Sharkey.
Take a few on your arms or
shoulders" is Ryan's constant or
der, He realizes that he never can
teach Flynn to sidestep or duck the
lightning jolts of John Artha. But
it isn't going to be that kind of a
fight. Some one is going to get
slaughtered on independence day,
for Flynn is going to be coached to
go straight into the formidable fists
of the champion Just as Tom
Sharkey of old used to lam into
Jeffries and F'itzsimmons.
It never got Sailor Tom much be-
sides terrific quilting, but, any
way, this whole fight is just a gam
BILE as to whether Johnson can come
back in case he ever went" If
he's the Johnson of old there's
something coming to Flynn, prob
ably But if the gas wagon and the
limpid lights and the fash pots of
Paris and London and the bubble
water have deprived Johnson of his
stamina to any great degree and If
he can't become acclimated and re-
duce his paunch without sapping
his strength, then the big black
bear has an elegant chance to get
his trimmings.
At least, that is the way Jack
Curley and Tommy Ryan figure it.

New Orleans Wins Team Prize;
R. G. Bush, Jr., Has Lowest Score

CHATTANOOGA. TENN, June
Sixty four of the South's
crack golfers are playing the
final eighteen holes of the elimina-
ton fight at the course of the Golf
and Country club this morning to
determine the so players who shall
comprise the championship flight
of the eleventh annual tournament
of the Southern Golf association.
This flight also determines the win
ner of the medal for low qualifying
score.
So clean did the players of the
two golf clubs Of New Orleans
sweep the first half of the qualify
ing round yesterday that they won
the team prizes, the only trophies
decided on that days play, and put
60 many players around the top as
to assure them the low score prize,
and, unless some i'll luck befalls,
the championship as we'll.
The New Orleans Country club
team captured the team prize, with
a total of 3l6 The scores of the
players were: J. B. Bush, rs; A. F.
Schwartz, 49, Whitney Bouden, so;
S. j. White, go The Audubon club
of New Orleans was second, with
a score of 1893. The Birmingham
club was third, with a score of 343.
All indications point to the Bush
brothers as the most formidable
contestants J. B. Bush qualified
in the first eighteen holes, with
rs, yesterday morning, but RUDE
Bush went his brother one better
and pulled down a II, making the
last hole in 3 by magnificent put.
RUDE outplayed his brother through
the seventeenth hole, but fiickered
on the eighteenth and wasted 6
strokes. 1t should have been an
easy 4 but for clrlessness. Rube
is picked by the majority of golfers
in attendance as a favorite over his
brother as we'll as the rest of the
field.
The play Of the New Orleans
golters attracted great attention
and the Crescent City delegation
in the first days play completely
outclassed everything in sight.
Every player who represented the
Audubon club of New Orleans quail
flied yesterday, not a single one
falling below the required 80.
The play in the first flight was
mediocre, due largely to the heavi-
ness of the grounds. A slight driz-
cling rain fell through the first two
hours of play, and those who start
ed after. the midday hour had
great advantage.

Packey can not punch. There is a
sting and a snap to his wallops
that sap an opponents strength
quickly. Bronson found this out
to his cost, as he was sagging and
weary before three rounds had been
completed, and only his extreme
grit and gameness and his desire to
do something handsome before a
great gathering of homefolks egged
him into the fray in such desperate
fashion.
Bat Nelson was among those that
sat at the ringside last Wednesday
night and saw his old enemy, Nc
FarIand, play tag with Bronson.
He made little or no comment on
Packey's showing other than to adj
NIT that the Chicagoan looked"
like the real thing.
Sitting alongside of Bat was John
r. Mckee, formerly of Cincinnati
and Louisville, where he ran box
ing clubs Mckee is on his way to
Winnipeg, where he is to be given
charge of the new Coliseum club
there, an organization that is to get
the big building, with a seating ca
pacity of 5000. Mckee was on
hunt for some of the good fight
ers to cross the border and exhibit
for him, among those desired being

der, indeed, that so many
people regard Packey Nc
Farland as one of the greatest
lightweights that ever lived. AS a
matter of fact, many regard him
as THE greatest. and his showing
against Ray Bronson. of Indian
apolis, bears them out to a marked
degree in, this stand.
Packey is getting steadily better.
Each battle he makes shows him to
be just a little better than he was
in the previous affair, and today
1t looks as if the Stock Yards man
is absolutely the last word in ring
skill. IS
Ray Bronson is no child at this
game of fighting. He is a full
grown fighting man and is just
about 100 per cent better than a
raw hand Yet he wasn't much in
Packey's hands It Is true that
Packey didn't knock Ray out, but
then nobody else has, so there can
be no quarrel with the Chicagoan
on that score. But he certainly
gave the Hoosier lad a gentleman
ly defeat, if there is such a thing
in pugilism.
He's There With the Sting.

The course was overcrowded and
forced to wait as long as fifteen
minutes at the various tees before
continuing play. RUDE Bush and

MFARLA AND SURELY THE LAST WORD IN RING SKILL

Would you box Packey up
there?" Mckee asked Bat.
Just as soon as my hands get
better and he pays me that s57
that he owes me-" was Nelson's
surprising reply. The $57 referred
to evidently is part of that old
trouble over the clipping bureau
deal between tire two fighters.
IF my hands we're good I'd box
Mcfarland any time. If he could
make my weight" Bat said. Later
on, in response to the calls of the
big crowd at the fight, he made a
speech. in which he outlined a
plan for coming back, and told the
people that he especially wanted
another chance at Ad Wolgast.

Packey was approached regard

would be willing to go there and
battle anybody. provided the in

Johnson isn't in shape; it's go
ing to be mighty hard for him to
get anywhere near the condition he
reached when he took the title from
Tommy Burns and defended 1t
against Jeffries. This much was
palpable to the experts, who saw
Johnson attempt to box six rounds
in fast style yesterday.
The timekeeper cut the rounds
short. Johnson, 1t was noticed,
didn't perspire much. He looked
awful tired.
That's the altitude 1t affects
lots of people out here. A man
with heart disease would drop dead
if he ran. foot race out here.
Johnson thinks he is good because
he feels good. There's a lot of
danger in feeling good in a treach-
erous altitude like this. Sometimes
