the mutual advantage Of such an ar

The annual expenses Of Mr. Brush

vantage OF lasting steel and concrete.
And then comes the matter OF cost and
maintenance.
How absurd it would be-if indeed
Mr. Farrell could rent the Polo grounds
at any reasonable figure-for him TO
go TO the expense of building. It would
mean an outlay almost equal to that
Of Mr. Brush. Such an outlay for an

AN FRANCISCO. Cal, June IS
Many a moon has waxed and waned

Sydney is that Mcintosh is having the

Las Vegas, n. NJ, June 15.-PrObably
never in the history Of any pugilistic
contest has tue same confidence pre-
vailed in the rival camps as in the
coming match between Jack Johnson
aac Jim Flynn, slated at Las Vegas,
N A.. On July &
The unwiIIingness OF Jack Johnson

However Lllz has not worried Jim

has therefore gained some bad 1rlsnas

language towards his opponent with
view to keeping the bout clean, and
preventing the opponents Of boxing

showing TO the world that instead Of

As a matter Of fact Flynn would

shows plainly that ne does not seek

McCarthy's skill
a few local critics advance the opin-
ion that Wells Is rather too pretty
TO make a successful fighter. Although
no one here has seen him in action, the
impression prevails that the English
man is not sturdy enough TO offer stout
resistance 10 a man Of the stamp Of Pal
ger, for instance Nevertheless his rec
ord on the other side gives him q claim
to our consideration and the fact that
he does not look the part of a pro-
fessiOnal bruiser Is no sure sign he is
not there with the goods.
Since arriving in this country the
only fault to be found with the Bonn
bardier is that he has exhibited an ex-
aggerated idea of his worth as a
drawing card; only his unreasonable
demands in the way of purse have
kept him from the public view so long.
The fans are anxious to see him tried
