PM FLYNN 10 starting his training
for the hght with Jack johnson. He
begins work at Hot Springs on Mon
day. Soon We will be hooded with the
latest reports from the training camps
Naturally the agile press agents viii he
busy trying to tell the public that Flynn
has q chance to beat johnson. for unless
the public believes that there won't DO
money enough taken In at the gate to
buy q COW pony to ride away from Las
Vegas on.
The facts in the casa are just these:
A few years ago. when Flynn was just
a. good a. he 10 now. he didn't have the
siightest chance in the world with h
sou. He was too small TO beat . clever
biz man. johnson played with him.
rather good naturally. until the eleventh
round. Flynn. without . chance. fought
his best and Kept ~piunEinG In. He had
4 theory that NJ could get Johnson's
goat'' by rushing and roughing and talk
ipg to him. In the eleventh round Flynn
talked TOO much. He said something to
yohnson that went straight through his
. thick hide and made him very. very sore.
J johnson lost his golden smile. lost all
! HE good nature. and quickly knocked
( Flynn out. He could rave done II earlier
/ u be had cared to.
To-day, unless two years out OF the
l ring have killed Johnson ~ . lighter.
! Flynn won't have any more chance OF
/ winning than he had In their former
/ Gght. Flynn 10 still . good. rough hsht-
4 ing man-A good man Of his weight. but
. little man. He whipped Morris when
Sthe Oklahoma giant didn't know how to
Dot up his hands. That 10 the one big
Ithing in Flynn's record. He whipped q
slant. But whipping the black giant 10
. different thing entirely.
r. johnson has lost Al Pf his nerve
60 strength and cunning. and his en-
lurance. Flynn can win. Otherwise he
oaast. I don't think johnson has lost
much. II he were ~dissipating we'd hear
more about II. johnson has been very
sulst for several months.
Dut from the training quarters. no
Aoubt. we'li hear great things about
what Flynn 10 doing, and perhaps . few
reports about %Johnson's, condition that
may make the Flynn end In the hettinE
bdgger than II really ought TO be.
