Las Vegas. N. NJ. June 2s.-Las

permen. who are here in advance of
the Fourth Of July contest between
Jim Flynn and Jack johnson. Flynn
has been in a good humor since Tom
my Ryan quit the camp. as the pair
could not get along and they were at
swords points all the time. Jim says
that he wants to win more than ever.
just to show Ryan that he can win
without him. Promoter Jack Curley
smokes his long pipe and takes things
easy these cool evenings. not worry
ing at all about the stories that the
contest may be stopped. Jack says
that the men are boxing under the
laws Of New Mexico and that there
is nc way to stop the fight. He lays
these stories at the feet Of a few dis
gruntled sports. who have continually
knocked the fRht. Curley states that
the stories were manufactured. and
not founded upon truth. Governor
Mcdonald not having conhded even
in his closest friends any intention
Of interfering with the heavyweirht

CHAMPION NEAR

Battle with Flynn.
STRONG WORKOUTS
Some Old Critics Look For
Real Contest on the
Fourth of July.

East Las Vegas. n. NJ. June 2s.-
Champion Jack johnson has reached
they ZIG pound notch in his training
for the battle if it may be termed
such. against Jim Flynn ON July.4
While eastern critics have been in
clined to doubt the negro's figures en-
weight. he steps on the scales willing
ly for all corners. Therefore, the.
weight must be accepted as correct
unless the scales have been induced
to cheat. such things have happened
before, but the black really seems To
be training.
Originally johnson had planned to
enter the ring at about 2l5 pounds.
Now his campaign calls for a reduc-
O to a figure around the 30 mark.
possibly two or three pounds more,
unless the weight off easily.
johnson Puts i'm Busy Day.
Johnson's workout yesterday con
sisted of a jaunt up among the foot
hills in the morning. which occupied
two hours. In the afternoon he
punched the bag for fifteen minutes,
tossed around the big medicine ball
for another quarter hour. and then
boxed n rounds. Marty Cutler
drew a five round tilt and Calpin

four. Both Watson. Burns trainer.
and Tom Flanagan. chief of camp.
declared 1t was more satisfactory than
any workout before the Jeffries bat
tie.
Jim Flynn limited his boxing to five
rounds With AL Williams. Although
flNnn's weight is given as between
ls5 and 100 pounds. he does not look
that heavy. He is chunky and solid.
hlf h9S not tho haiolt sc <h1 -.
Those who hope to see FLYNN win fear
his trainers will try to keep up his
weight. whereas it would be better to
let him lose weight. if necessary. to
get in the best shape. This contin-
gent argues. and rightly so. that
Flynn's only chance for victory lies
in Johnson's having zone back in his

Mayor Boosts Boxing Game.

declared that he will not stop the en-
counter. East Las Vegas is daily look
ing forward to entertaining a large

day paid the fighting game a great
compliment. II have always been in
favor of professional boxing and hope
the game never dies said Mayor
Taupert.

a prophesies that the East Las
Vegas forty-fve round championship
contest on July 4 will be the best fight
between big fellows that has been
fought in the last ten wears. In Flan-
agan's opinion the fight set will see
a fifty pei cen better battle than it
saw at Reno.
Not since the DAYS Of the Horton

the old heroes were in their prime.

ties in and around New York. ha> the

will clearly be the best one between
the heavy-weights that has been fought

There are few who wouldn't delight

and 1911. when Connie Mack's tribe
captured the much-coveted gonfalon.
and is hero with the team today.
There have been all sorts of yarns
spun as to how Louis Van Zandt
landed the much-coveted mascot
position. but probably the true facts
have been related. The Attn
letics had always been conspicuous
through the fact that they carried no
mascots. their victories were won
without any attempt to conciliate the
link god . Then in the closing weeks
final Detroit series the Tigers swept
them off their feet.
The day of Detroit's last appear
ance in Philadelphia little Louis Van
Zandt for the first time in his life
journeyed to Shibe park to see a big

damned and in some way worked his
way out onto the field near the Ath-
letic's bench.
Connie Spots Louis.
Things were breaking bad for Con-
ME and his athletes that day.. and to
add to the misfortunes there was no
bat boy around. Connie saw Loui.

He sent M of the substitute players
over to the little fellow and gravely
proffered the position of bat boy for

Of his life.
Well. from the time Louis frs,

sure enough the Athletics won. That
settled it; the players wanted Louis
for a regular mascot and told Connie
Mack. And they were more insistent
the nex day. when Louis didn't ap-
pear and they lost again.
He Is Officially Engaged.
On Thursday shortly before the
game commenced. Louis put in an
appearance and John Shibe was dele
gated to see that the boy didn't leave
the ball park until he had been Of
icially ngaged as mascot. OF course
the Athletics and Louis was Of
fcially installed in his new position.
Twice during the remainder Of the
year the new mascot missed his Job
and both times the Athletics lost.
That cemented the contract. Louis
had some difficulties. toe He was at
tending school in West Philadelphia
and couldn't get to the grounds in
time for the game unless he left early.
Hence, the teacher was told Of the
necessities and being an admirer Of
the Athletics she readily agreed to let
Louis slip away earlier.
The mascot has made many trips
with the team, not missing one Of the
world series games. n appearing at
all the home games in 1910 and 1911.

who has a great liking for the mascot.
While the Athletics are at bad Louis
has a certain position in which he
crouches beside the bats. He has
done 1t so many times that his foot
marks can be easily seen not only at
Shibe park. but at all the parks
around the American league circuit.
BY crouching in the one position
Louis saw he brings luck to the Ath-
letic players:
Recently Rube Oldring was in the
midst Of a batting slump and Louis's
grief couldn't be checked. Each time
the blonde outfielder came in Louis
made him sit down by his side in the
hopes Of chasing the link.
The mascot hasn't lost confidence in
the Athletics. inc predicts that they
will repeat this year. He has su-
preme confidence In Connie Mack,

hesitate to answer: why. Connie

The following from the Minneapolis
Journal shows the fast time being
made by Dor Densmore. the Minot
horse. this season:
The fastest time on record to date
this year for a PAGER in any mile race
is that made at the Minnesota state
fair track yesterday. Rupert Parker,
driving the fast North Dakota PAGER.
Don Densmore. did the mile in 2:06.
This is the fastest time that has been
made by any race horse in the north
west. or in fact in the country this
year. Don Densmore did the last half
of his record breaking mile in 1:0e,
and the final quarter in 90 1-2 seconds.
This horse is entered in the free
for all classes throughout the grand
circuit. starting at Grand Rapids,
Mich. on July s, and winding up the
season at Lexington. Ky. in October.
Judging from his present form he will
be a hard horse to beat. as he is one
of the most consistent performers
that has ever looked through a bride.
