FLYNN AND JOHNSON IN PRIME
OF CONDITION FOR THE FIGHT
BY II. w. LANIGAN

East Las Vegas N. NJ, July 1.--Now
for the Jim Flynn-Jaelk Johnson cham
pionship combat Thursday, Independence
Day, brings the redoubtabe dusky cham
pion and the ambitious white challenger
together and has Las Vegas the most
watched of all towns IN the world. Tho
fight has put this fair city on the map
with a vengeance and thanks to the
vigilance of Mayor Robert ]. Taupert, the
big match will do naught, but be a win
ner in every respect for Las Vegas. The
crowd is already here; the crowd is an
orderly. free-spending one and the town
folks are reaping a golden harvest.
Now to bust into the combat proper.
In my opinion Tom Flanagan, LII
Artha's experienced chief lookout, hit the
nail squarely on the noodle when he
stated that the sport public can rest as
sured that 1t is set to see the best scrap
sased between he big fellows since JEFF
fries. Fizsimmons, Sharkey and the rest
OF the old ring heroes were In their prime
and fighting fights that were fights. 1t
is Flanagans forecast that the Flynn
Johnson contest will be a 50 per cent bet
ter battle than the Jeffries-Johnson thing
and % per cent better encounter than
the Johnson Burns fight.
Furthermore, every expert on the ground
is praising the form of the two warriors.
Seldom before in pugdom's history has a
groomed pair of warriors been sent to the
post.
Johnson Is ready; in absolutely perfect
trim, xate General Monarch Tom Flana-
gan and Head Trainer Watson Burns.
Flynn is in perfect condition: on edge
to put UP the battle of his life. declare
Manager Curley Chief Sparring Partner
Al Williams, Abdul the Turk and the rest
of the Puebloan's camp partners.
So much have the big black and the
v hite challenger shown in training quar-
tiers that there cannot be any excuses
from che losing side Johnson picks him
self to win inside of 10 rounds
Flynn has placed a limit OF 10 rounds
on the battle Most of the experts are
stringing with the two principals in proph-
eoying that the fight is not ging to be
a short one. A look at Johnsons record

RAIN COMES IN TIME TO SAVE
BESSEMER CLUB FROM DEFEAT
NOTES OF THE GAME

Almeida will be in the 400 class soon
IL he continues to hit as hard as he has
the last few days. Seven hits In two days
is not a had record. He got four yester-
day at New Orleans.
Billy McGllvray was the sacrificing kid
yesterday. Big Bill secured three sacri-
fiees in the game and was credited with
but one time at bat. Bill hates to do that
stunt, too. He likes to hit with men on
bases.
Jimmy Johnston stole a base, while his
nearest opponent, Roy Moran, did not
pilfer. Jimmy is going to lead the league
this year in stolen bases.
Billy Smith changed his lineup yester-
day Hopkins was switched up into first
place. while Coyie was changed to clean
up man. Although he changed 1t, he
could not best the Barons.
The first four men up for the Barons
in the batting order did practically all the
hitting yesterday. ELAN was the only
man in the batting order below Almeida,
Lii Marcan was there yesterday with the
club, two out of four.
Messenger is not only hitting, but is be-
ing hit often. He WAS hit BY the pitch
ers in both of the gangs Sunday against
the Pels and was pinked yesterday by
Ware. He scored twice.
II will be Foxen and Yantz this after
noon against Covaleski and Noyes. With
these two up battle of battles will oc-
cur. The Pole. has developed a slow ball
which, he declares, is a pippin and that
it can't be hit.
There will be some crowd out on the
Fourth. The Turtles are right UP with
the Barons, and it will be battle for
blood. Memphis was always hard for the
Barons. but Birmingham should nab
them Thursday. Boyd will probably open
up for the Barons, with Ferguson for the
Turtles

AT FIGHT CENTERS
Flynn Is Ready

East Las Vegas, N M. July 1.-Stop-
ping In the midst of a workout in his
training quarters in Montezuma this after
noon, Jim Flynn walked to the ropes and
said few words to the men and women
WHO had iourneyed here by special train,
automobiles and buggies to observe the
fireman in his last boxing ISactice before
July 4.
Flynn said he was In the best condition
he had ever been in and that he thought
he would defeat Johnson, but that If he
did not there would be no yell from
him.
johnson also worked before large
crowd. Both fighters put in a thorough
days work Among the fstie notables
to arrive tomorrow is Tommie Burns, who

Throwing out AL Mcnamara, Kid Cutler,
Peter Felix and Charley Haghey, not to
mention old Bob Ftzsimmons, whom the
champion went against when that grand
odtimer was completely at the end of his
string, Eli Artha has never been bracket
ed in short scrap. Tho all-in Jeffries

johnson knockouts have been but few
and far between. He did not really stop
the venerable Jeff. He only finished
ketchei when Ketchel, to all appearances,
had him finished. His fight with Burns
In Australia was stopped by the police
In the 14th round after he had dropped
Tommy in the first stanza.
So, surely Flynn should hang around
a while at least.

Gadsden in Rome
Speaking of hard luck, Babe Adams
has oornered the market, while Bessemer
had horseshoes all around. Yesterday at
Bessemer on Underwood Field. the fifth
inning was in progress. Selma had the
game won / to and Bessemer was at bat
One man was down, while the lowering
clouds hung over the field and assumed
a leaden color. Five innings had TO De
played to make the game count.
But two more men had to be put down
before the game would be won,vas the
rain was seen blowing hard toward the
grounds. A small deluge was approach
ing, but it looked as If two men couid
be put out before the flood ceased. How
ever. as luck would have it. and 1t usual
" does when Adams is twirling, storm
broke loose and the game was called.
After watching the clouds pour down
their torrents, the grounds resemoieo
a swimming pool and it was all over.
Adams had lost what seemed to be an
easy victory Had the rain come just
two minutes later Adams and Selma
would have won, but it came OPPORTUNITY
for Bessemer.
AS the result of the rain Bessemer is not
credited with a loss, while Adams re-
ceives nothing for his efforts to win, rms
afternoon the first game of the series
will be called at o'clock. Manager Hick-
man is slated to work for Bessemer, While
1t is probable that Rufus Molly, the
damp sling artist will decorate the mound
for Selma The Selma bunch played hard
to win yesterday in spite of certain con-
ditions now prevailing in Selma.
The Selma players hardly know where
they are, or what is what. Tbere are
lot of wild rumors coming from Selma
about changing the management, ETC., and
the players are uncertain to the hlghest
degree. 1t seems as If the Selma fans
expect them to win anytime they want
10 and think because Selma has lost
few games in a ~ that they should not
be supported. At times the Giants could
not win If each was offered fortune TO
take one game Uncertainty is what made
and will make baseball.
The Selma fans believe that, the play
ers are not trying. Yesterday, from all
appearances, they were after the victory
and all declare that they are going after
another pennsnt.
