RAIN FO|LS BROOKLY N
GAME FOR THE CUBS

New York June THE Cubs didn't
even have to leave the big town yes
terday, let acne going through a regu
lation diamond battle. A special dis
pensation in the way OF a heavy rain
made It possible for the athletes TO re-
main within the border, but with lit
tie sun today they Will have TO cross
over to the island to play the third of
the series with Dahlen's disturbing
Dodgers. The rain showed up shortly
before noon hour and Brother" Eb-
bets willingly ordered a postponement,
as he Is a great believer in this double
header stuff.
Manager Chance was thinking in his
idle moments about southpaw pitchers.
In the last three games played by the
westerners they have encountered the
portside variety of fiinging and If an
othr appears today Chance believes that
other clubs are working under the inn
preston that the Cubs are weak against
left handlers. Judging from the way
they have spanked them so far this
season this impression Is slightly wa
ter-logged, even though it was boosted
bit by Nap Rucler. who beat the
Cubs at Washington park Tuesday.
II the Brooklyn bunch doesn't show
up with a near-side finger today II Is
Leifield to the hill. but in the event of
a southpaw opposing them II will be up
to Mordecai Brown to fill the assign
ment. Earl Yingling. the German with
the Chinese name. is in Dahlens stable
at present and he may report for duty
and IL so It will then he up to Brownie
to show this former Dayton. Ohio, citi-
zen just what is what In the way of
pitching.
Chances idea in having two men
ready is his temerity over the strength
of Liefield. who has vet to make his de-
but as a Cub and who did not show
proper form up to the time he was
traded to the Chicagoans. Should a left
handler oppose him Liefield might be hit
hard. and If the Cubs should find their
! opponent a puzzle il would mean de-
| feat. but with Brown doing the turn
he should be able to hold the humble
Dodgers In check
Chance would like to let Brown rest
for the Giant series. but as the veteran
is right, there is no reason why he
should not work in both this and the
coming series. The pain in Browns
right side that forced him 10 quit after
working in great shape for six innings
| at Boston, has gone entirely.

FLYNN TRAINING HARD

Las Vegas. y. NJ. June Jim Flynn,
challenger for the heavyweight crown,
put in his first real work here yester-
day. He up with the birds and
did ten miles the road before break
fast just by the way of an appetizer.
The rest of the morning was taken up
with lessons in how to defend himself
against Johnsons furnishing uppercuts
and the teacher was the master 1stic
artist. Tommy Ryan.
Flynn took on Howard Morrow and
Al Williams in the afternoon in two
ten-round settos and finished the day
punching the bag and skipping the
rope. Ryan said after the workout
that Flynn would be the biggest sur
prise the game has ever known on July
I. and that Johnson is in for a severe
trimming.
The champion forgot his training for
the day. taking a motor jaunt to Santa
Re. He is not doing much in prepara-
tion as yet, asserting that the less
work he does the better he will feel
when he faces Flynn in the big arena
that is almost completed here.

URGE LEVY AS LAS
VEGAS REFEREE

While Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn
are getting ready TO do battle on the
Fourth at Las Vegas. n. M. the natives
are becoming insistent that the referee
shall be a resident of that town. The
man that is being strenuously showed to
the front as the proper individual 10 do
the counting, IL such should be neces-
sary. is Mark Levy. the leading sport
ing authority in New Mexico.
The demand is so strong for Levy
that Jack Curley, the promoter of the
fight, is going to suggest his name to
johnson and Flynn. Curley intends to
do some urging for the selection of
Levy. He feels that a local man in the
ring would be big attraction and add
a few kopecs to the gate receipts. For
despite the fact that the worlds cham
pionship is in the balance. the box Of
fee will play very prominent part.
AS Levy's reputation in the southwest
is of the highest there is big proba-
bility that he may be chosen.
