along the same lines, Flynn has ut
terly refused to mince his words, or
to hide his feeling in any way but
that he will knock the big smoke
stiff Flynn has therefore gained
some bad friends who have wished
him to use milder language towards
his opponent with view to keeping
the bout clean, and preventing the
opponents of boxing from gaining
a foothold on reform by showing TO
the world that instead OF clean
exhibition of the manly art the
coming match will really develop in
to a prize fight. Flynn, however,
has disregarded their wishes, and
uses only the strongest language,
which does only half justice to his
real feeling when Johnson's name
is mentioned in his presence.
AS a matter of fact, Flynn would
muchly prefer to be left alone, and
he shows plainly that he does not
seek the sympathy of those who be-
lieve he has bitten off more than he
can chew, by matching himself
against the giant negro.
Nor does Flynn fully appreciate
the necessity of crowdng his train
ing quarters with interested fight
fans, who come to see him do his
training stunts and work out in trip
hammer slaughter house style with
his sparring partners. Flynn really
resents the invasion of these armies
who are not even satisfied by watch
ing his training ordeals, but insist
on asking numerous questions on his
confidence, condition and real SIN
cere feeling that he will win.
In this way Flynn has aroused the
enmity of many a visitor to his camp
especially those from the initiated
ranks. But the old timers, who have
seen champions come and go for
many years, plainly see in Flynn
actions those of man with supreme
confidence, who definely resists the
question of his ability of downing
the present title holder.
F, Flynn is on edge, that is plain. He
is happy only when surrounded by
his immediate camp force, his train
ers, and his manager, all OF whom
believe as he does, and have no
doubt as to the outcome.
The manager has already arranged
for the Jim Flynn, champion OF the
world. tour to take place immediate
ly following the July 4th contest.
The trainers are looking forward to
accompanying Flynn on this tour,
and Flynn himself has laid his plans
according to this schedule.
4 Despite this supreme confidence,
Flynn is working like a Trojan leav-
ing not stone unturned to fit him
self as the proverbal fiddle, and to
toe the scratch against Johnson on
July 4th in contest which will car
~ him over the 45-round marathon
route as though it We're three
round exhibition with one OF his
sparring partners. But Flynn does
not expect to go 40 rounds, for ne
figures Johnson will not last half
that distance with him. He figures
himself impossible to defeat, and
will enter the ring with a feeling
that no amount of pounding, be they
straights lefts, right upper cuts, or
any other blows will be able to
cause him the least sign of distress.
johnson on the other hand is
training in what is known as Old
Las Vegas, less than six miles from
the Flynn camp. He discounts, il
such a thing be possible, the Flynn
confidence and predictions. and by
the way he is backing his views
with some of his own money, TO end
Flynn in less than 10 rounds. He
belittles the Flynn confidence. and
calls il the work of press agents. and
not the real feeling of Jim Flynn.
and points TO the former victory he
holds over the Pueblo Fireman.
The old timer again sees the gen.
uineness of Johnson's unmistakable
confidence. In fact the old timer
