Gallaudet yesterday. The youngster cut
off four balls that were labeled hits, and
on three of them got his man with ease.
The one he missed was a hard drive over
the bag, and he got it by diving his full

VICTORY FOR KILONIS.

Taking Two Falls.

John Kilonis. the Greek champion, de-

Although outweighed, the Greek stuck
to his task, and won the first fall in
thirty-nine minutes and the second in

Simpsons lack of condition lost him
the bout, and it Is very apparent that
with a little training the New York boy

BIG MONEY IN SCOUTING AND
DEVELOP YOUNG PLAYERS
Idea Is to Pick Up Raw Recruits on the

Sell to the Majors.

the business of developing and selling
players-aS much money as some or the
ma ior league clubs make in season.
My idea Of the proper way to work the
thing is for two men to associate them
selves in the business. one to manage
club, the other to be constantly scouting
around the lots and other minor league
towns and looking over the semi-pros.
''Of course, 1t would require two men
who understood their business. The
scout would have to know ball player
when he saw him, and the manager
would have to know how to develop his
latent talent. and he would have to de-
vote his entire time to it, not only on
the ball field. but off the diamond as
well. He would have to associate with
his young players and endeavor to keep
them straight in their personal habits,

Don't these facts prove that the play
ers who break into the major league

as l have outlined? Don't you think

If had a man working with me, find
ing fast men-no other would suit-and
sending them to me to be developed, the
prospect Of getting such raw material
in shape for sale during the season to
higher class leagues would be sufficient
ly alluring to make me give all my
time to the work, and I am confident that
after I had graduated a few players
ready to perform as soon as they en-
tered the big show, would soon have a
list of major league managers who
would be ready to do business with me

10 Butt johnson With
His Head

|. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, July 5.
The Jack Johnson.Jim Flynn 45.
round fight for the heavyweight
championship was brought to . close
in the ninth round by the state po.
lice.
Captain F0rnoff OF the state force,
the personal representative at the
ring side OF Governor Mcdonald, de-
clared that it was no longer . boxing
contest, but that it was a brutal ex-
hibition, and that Flynn's foul tao.
tics made it's continuance impossible.
He jumped into the ring with his
deputies and drove the fighters and
olicials who followed him, to their
corners. Referee Ed. w. Smith then
announced that Johnson had won and
the fight was over.
Flynn displayed no ability through
out the fight. He was cut about the
face until the blood ran down his
breast in stream. He was utterly
helpless from the first round on, and
by the sixth round was deliberately
trying to butt the champions chin
with his head.
Time after time as Johnson held
him p0werless in clinches, Flynn
jerked his head upward. Smith warn
ed him repeatedly but it did no good.
In the seventh he began leaping up
ward every time he could work his
head under Johnson's chin. Flynn's
feet were both of the floor time and
again with the energy that he put into
his bounds. Sometimes he seemed to
leap two feet into the air in frantic
plunges at the elusive black jaw
above him.
The champion opened up only once,
early In the fight, when Flynn landed
his only good blows, right and left
hooks to the jaw, delivered during a
clinch. johnson appeared nettled at
mis- own carelessness and smashed q
right uppercut through Flynn's guard
which rocked the white man on his
feet.
