STAGE |S SET
 FOR BIG FIGHT
DOubters Are Quieted by Fi- nal Preparations
 Now Underway at Las Vegas
JIM FLYNN Is HEAVY

LAS VEGAS, May 0.-Eyerything pretaining to the championship match between Jim Flynn and Jack Johnson Is now settled. The date will be July Fourth. and the match will take place at Las Vegas. New Mexico.
 Since last December. when Jack Curley first went hunting for a suit able spot Tn which to stage this con test, all sorts of predictions have been made that it was purely aud simply an advertising scheme, and that not even Curley, Flynn or Johnson were considering the match seriously.
 But Curley went right along, seem. ingly indifferent to the adverse crit icism and the general belief of insin. cerity, and finally announced on the day of the posting of the forfeits on February 18th. in Chicago. that he had at least four spots under copsidera, ton where the bout could be held without interference, and where local public sentiment was strongly for the match.
 Wendover, Nevada. was one town; El Paso, Texas, in behalf of Juarez, was another spot: Ely, Nevada. also wanted the match, and Las Vegas, New Mexico. was always the most favorable under consideration. so far as promoter Curley was concerned.
 Flynn Opens Camp
 The next step was Flynn's cancel lation of all his theatrical contracts, his conquering tour enroute to Las Vegas, finally his arrival in the New Mexico city, received there by bands and the entire public with open arms, and finally his establishing training quarters at the beautiful MonteZuma grounds, which comprise l600 acres of ground, situated nearly 5000 feet above sea level, just the spot for a man to reach the most perfect state of condition, all of which will greatly add to his already large superfluous stock of extreme confidence.
 Jack Curley. jointly with Charles O'Malley and some of the leading bus. mess men of Las Vegas, has estab- lished office headquarters in the city proper, and by June 1. Jack Johnson will be on the scene, entering his training camp. and will make the set. ting complete for one of the great est athletic contests the history Of fistiaDa.
 Already there is promise of an other gathering of sport celebrities, such as cOngregN ed at Reno, Nevada. and unless two years of idlenesS and fast living has pgt Johnson into the same condition that Jeffries was in two years ago. the pOpulace will wit. ness the greatest contest of the age
 Contrary to the general public be. lief that Jim Flynn is too small for John, a squint at the heights and measurements of the two men will testify to the mistaken belief. Flynn today, weighs, stripped and already in fairly good condition, 2l4 pounds. His stature and reach is a great benefit to him against a rangy, clever man. such as Johnson, on account of his peculiar style of mitigating. In fact, Flynn is a larger man from every view point

THE AMERICAN LEAGUE
By Ban Johnson

ganization became nationat in scope baseball was in a staenant state. The National league, rent by factions and neglectful of it's patrons and players, was in so pitiful a plight that it play. es only passive part in the war that instilled new life into the sport. Aft CT the reorganization of baseball on a peace basis, and the adoption of the National Agreement, popular enthu- siasm was evidenced in minor league circles, as well as in the principal cities of the country. As a result Of this healthy impetus to the game. and of competition between the major lea gues. the National association had a membership of 47 leagues in 1911. many of which are stable. n some of the minor leagues of the highest classification, franchises are held al prices which were considered prohibi tive by parties contemplating the pur. chase of National league club dur ing the latter part of the last century.
 Organized baseball has not reached the pinnacle of success, but it has pro gressed to such a degree ;kat it cov- CTS the field so fully that it is prac- tically impossible for an organization, not 1nder the National Agreement, to achieve success in any part of the country.
 An opposition league. launched as a rival to the American ana National leagues, would have to build up it's playing strength and patronage in ci ties provided with parks, covering an expenditure Of s50O,O00 or more. anG represented by one or more teams of high-class players, satisfied with theis salaries.
 Patrons of this period and the play. CTS under contract to m1ior league clubs are not discontented, as they were when the American league as. serted it's independence and invaded National league territory.
 Press and public welcomed US in every city and ball players greeted us as liberators. We succeeded from the start because of the spleneid support accorded to us by baseball enthusiasts

The birth Og the American League marked the beginning oi the most important era in the annals of base ball and its expansion, al he cost Of conflict with the National league. was the forerunner to a period Of popularity which the national game could not have attained while conduct ed as a monopoly.
 The issues on which the American league made and won its fight for recognition Ss the peer of the Nation al league were cleanly piayCd, closely contested games between high-class teams, a square deal for D ayers and patrons and a betterment of condi tions in the minor leagues.
 On the establishment Of peace the former foes became friendly rivals and have cordially co-opeTated for the advancement of the game in all de- partments with so much success as to exceed the expectations of those whose interest in the peoples pastime did not extend beyond the revenue from the games.
 Sordidness has been subC rdinate to sportsmanship in the operation of the
 
 and it's clubs have invested their earD- ings in the purchase of gi Junds and in the erection of magnificent fire proof stands, pretentious n appear ance, and equipped with conveniences and comforts for patrons wIthout con sideration of cost
 Every western and each eastern city in our circuit, except New York. has an American league bark owned in fee by the home club and ornament ed with capacious structures. The Highlanders' handsome home will Dc completed in mid-season. The Bos. ton and Detroit plants were dedicated in April.
 Viewed from the standpoint of re suits none can gainsay that the games growth in recent years has been largely due to the conditions created by the graduation of the American league from a minor to a major league. When the younger or

 FROM LOWELL
Close Game See Saws for Seven Innings and Is Clinched in Its
 Final Session
HITS ARE OPPORTUNE

Bisbee won from Lowell on Sunday. Once more the game was in doubt almost to the last, the score at the end Of the eighth standing to and at the end to 4. In hits the victors led but the error column of the losers was the more crefitable.
 Those who managed to get 10 the Warren ball park on Saturday after noon were entertained with a good game Of ball by the Lowell and Bis lee teams. The game started off in great style, neither team being able to put a runner across the home plate in the first inning. However, in the second inning, Lowell fell on Irving, the Bisbee pitcher for four hts, which; coupled with a hit batter and three errors behind him, enabled Lowell to get three runners across the rub Der, and in the third inning Lowell succeeded in getting another runner over through a hit and two errors. This ended the scoring as far as Low ell was concerned Bisbee succeeded in getting a runner over the plate in the fourth inning on a hit and two errors. In the sixth and seventh in nings Bisbee landed on Connolly for three hits in each inning, coupled with an error. and before the Lowell team knew it, Bisbee had succeeded in putting two runners across in each inning. making the score stand , to in Bisbee's favor. In the ninth in ming Bisbee succeeded in getting two more runners across the pan, there by putting the game in cold storage.
 Next Sunday, beginning at one ! o'clock in the afternoon, the Warren and Lowell teams will mix iJ up, and Lowell has decided the Warren team must be stopped. and are going to try and put the brakes on the Warren l teams run for the glad rag. Follow
