 New York, June S.-As the U. s. As greatest of joyous celebrations draws near, and incidentally the time appointed for settlement of the Jim Flynn-Jack Johnson dispute, evidence of clever press agents work is on every hand The first installment is served us with the breakfast Java, and again in the evening the same old stuff with different trimmings.
 There are sporting editors of my personal acquaintance who swore not long ago that the approaching con- flict was so positively preposterous as a sporting proposition that their contributions on the subject would he confined to putting the dear od public "hep' to what was being fram- ed up for their special benefit; that the only space devoted to the scrap would be when copy was shy and they felt it duty to "wise'' the fans up hit to the money-making scheme of Curley, Flynn, Johnson, ct al. I'll admit that 1, too, was strong for putting the stopper on what look ed such an unequal match-there really is no dope in the world that will make Flynn winner over the big coon. But accidentally running across Flynn in my preambulations about the country filling theatrical engagements and listening to his spiel for an hour or two, I was won over to the white mans side simply through getting a good earful of the bold conversation he peddled. No man ever accomplished anything worth while unless he had "pluck,' ; and it fairly oozes ou, of the Pueblo man. He will not admit the possi- bility of defeat. 2
 Apparently sentiment has experience ed change among the scribes of late for considerable space is being allotted daily to the doings of both Flynn and Johnson. Even a number of those who will not admit a possi- ble chance of victory for the challen- ger are helping the cause along with occasional boosts. True, the rumor mongers are hard at work and stories of a "'frame-up'' are circulated, but these always crop up before a big battle, especially one that involves a championship, and emanate as rule from men who never boost proposi- tions from which they derive no fi- nancial benefit Nothing has develop ed to date that substantiates the pipe dreams.
 I do not want my readers to infer 1 from this fact that 1 am confident of Flynn's success in the coming battle. In fact, I can't figure him a winner on past performances; no more can you. I know little of Jims skill and fighting ability from personal obser- vation. But I am a great believer in 1 Tommy Ryan, trainer in chief, and there is no getting away from the fact that he thinks Flynn has a great chance to beat the negro. And Tom my Ryan is a great man to string with, as I may have remarked at some previous time in this column. About the funniest story circulated anent the coming engagement is that concerning Johnson's correspondence school method of training. Jack, so the story runs, telegraphs report of the days work to his trainer, Tom Flanagan, who is detained at his home in Toronto, and Flanagan by return wire maps out the program for the champion to follow the next day. in this way Johnson is. supposed to get through fair days work with out making a pebble.
 If certain advertisements l have noticed in magazine pages are to be given credence the physical culture by mail" treatment has proven bene- fioial in many Instances. althougs this is the first time ] ever heard of a prize fighter adopting that system of conditioning himself, and I have known athletes to pull some very quaint and original stunts at times.
 It is amazing the stuff that is print ed about the principals in a heavy weight cham pionship match as the date for the melee approaches The foregoing is a fair sample of what may be expected in regular doses from now on to the- day of the biz doings.
