Feel Sorry for Flynn.

Cutler and DeBray declare they
stand no chance of as much as tap
ping l.T Artha oitener than once a
week, and openly state that they feel
sorry for Flynn on the Fourth.
Il cannot for the life OF me figure
how Jim can win the big bout" re-
marked Cutler the other afternoon.
Now to win he must hit Johnson, and
cannot see him doing it,
Confidence certainly reigns in the
Johnson camp, Jack s colaborers are
plainly happy over the way their star
is hustling. They figure Johnson will
be as good July as he ever was in
his life.
As for Flynn, the long shot, he is
hard at it at his training camp at
Montezuma, under the watchful eye OF
Tommy Ryan, the man who helped
make Jeffries. Flynn is rounding into
wonderful condition and continues to
claim what he has always claimed,
towit that he will knock the big din
go stiff on the Fourth" There Is
nothing to it but that the fighting
fireman is cock sure he is Lii Artha's
master.

JOHNSON TRAINS
FOR BIG BATTLE
NEGRO CHAMPION WILL BE IN
CONDITION WHEN HE MEETS
FLYNN JULY FOURTH.

East Las Vegas, n. NJ, June o.
Jack Johnson's Unexpectedly prompt
arrival or the battle-ground is big
boost for this city's mammoth fistic
entertainment on the Fourth OF July.
Il proves that where even the cham
rion himself was prone to pooh-pooh
the Flynn date when it was llrst
made. he is keen on Flynn and has
him doped as a gent who may cross
mis- path and run him out of the spot
light.
Johnsons arrival is just the boost
the big pugdom performance needed
Contracting to be on the battle ground
no later than June 4, Lii Artha as
s,red Jack Culey when allowing that
clause to be inserted in the articles
that he doubted if he would abide by
it.

enough, Curleys chatter came true,

early as May Lii Artha gave up
leading the hurrah simple life and
started doing both roadwork and
gymnasium work, boxing included, in
Chicago. Even when at work John
son announced that he would not hit
out for Las Vegas before the first
week in June. So when he hove into
view, accompanied by a full staff OF
trainers, it showed conclusivXey that
Lii Artha had become thoroughly i'm
ryed with the idea that the Flynn
match was going to be most eXcit-
ing one, after all.
Starts work at Once.
Johnson was happily fixed in his
training camp within twelve hours
after his arrival. Incidentally, he
started his work going at once. He
took a ten mile drill on the road his
first day in town. Jack got down to
work in earnest his second day in Las
Vegas. His daily programme en-
braces a two-hour run in the forenoon
and a like hike in the afternoon. The

age (say about 1856 inches, see third para
graph Of the extract) is very nearly three
times as great. The difference is not
due to a low latitude, for Barbados,
which is in a lower latitude, only reaches
an average Of 81 inches, not nearly half
that of Dominica.
The cause is the difference in the height
OF the land. Dominica has mountains 5000
feet high, but neither Barbados nor Antigua
nor Santa Cruz have land even a quarter , f
that height. The highest in Barbados and
IN our own island does not reach 1900 it.
and in Antigua about 300 fit.
Such contrasts must be borne in mind when
we compare the products Of the islands. What
is done in Dominica, u mountainous island,
cannot in all cases be done in any one of the
other three islands named, all of which are
comparatively fiat.
