SAN FRANCISCO, July l3.-Tne
moving pictures OF the Jack Johnson
Jim Flynn worlds championship boxing
contest at Las Vegas bear out my story
OF the mill
Those who have viewed them saw
Champion Johnson holding and blan-
keting Flynn for probably two minutes
out OF every three that should have
been devoted to fair, stand up boxing
They saw Flynn tearing to close quar-
ters in spite Of the occasional spells
OF hooking and uppercuttiug he was
subjected TO, and they saw Johnson
under Flvnns persistent boring In
grow gradually tired and less inclined
TO trade punches with the fireman
Johnsons Holding Shown.
The scene al the conclusion Of the
bout when the state police invaded the
ring to call halt is particularly vivid.
For some reason the pictures are much
clearer than such things usually are
and the determined look on the face
of the police captain, as well as the
puzzled expressions on the faces OF
Promoter Curley and other Interested
parties who clambered into the ring,
are reproduced with notable effect
Just before the invasion Of the ring
by the authorities, FLYNN is seen ex-
postulating with Referee Smith, who
has pulled the hghters apart to admon-
ish Flynn for butting Flynn IS trying
TO persuade the referee that hutting
is the only recourse when an opponent
resorts to holding the way johnson did

feet away and there Is something about
him that he is not over-anxious 70

When they find a pitcher can't win

certain of his pitchers against GER

MOT since the days of Noah has
baseball suffered as much at
the hands of the weather man as
1t has this year Not satisfied with
raining all the spring and making
training impossible. it has rained
almost every day since.
Yesterdays game was off on ac-
count of the rain The second
game Thursday ended in a shower.
1t rained the day before that 1t
rained the day before that. 1t has
been raining as long as human
mind can remember-not all the
time, but usually at game time or
shortly afterward.
The Southern league magnates
are feeling the strain So is the
league. If it rains. you can't play
baseball And If you don't play
baseball there are no gate re-
ceipts. It's certainly tough prop
osition
On the other hand. the moguls
have been helped out by a close
race. There isn't team in the
league except Nashville that isn't
in the hunt. And a close race
means money for the moguls. So
maybe they will do fairly well aft
