BOXING NOTES.

Dan ("Porky'O Flynn has been
matched to meet Tim Logan of Phila-
delphia for 10 rounds at the Gowanus
A. c., Brooklyn, on New Years day.
Frank Klaus, the Pittsburg heavy
weight, has come to the conclusion
that he is no longer able to cope with
the leading middleweights and has an
nounced his retirement from the ring.
Owing to an attack of pneumonia,
frankie Burns of Jersey City will be
unable to meet Mike Rosen in New
York next Tuesday night. Young lei
ger of Hoboken will appear against
Rosen.
Frank S. O'Neil, chairman of the
New York Athletic Commission, Sat
urday denied the report that he had
cabled Paul Rosseau of the French
Boxing Federation, approving of the
dethronement of Jack Johnson as
heavyweight champion.
The receipts for the recent bout in
Paris between Jack Johnson and Jim
Johnson amounted to s5179. Those for
the acknowledgements bout, which
undoubtedly suffered from the compe-
tition of the Johnson fight, were
$11,370.
Negotiations regarding the appear
ance of "Gunboat" Smith in Paris in
a bout with Sam Langford are not ex-
pected to succeed, as Smith is demand
ing his travelling expenses and a purse
of $25, 600 Carpenter may meet Sam
Langford, if the latter will agree to
weigh in at IFS pounds.
Enraged over the action of the New
York State Boxing Commission in
barring him from the fighting game
in New York state, Bob Fftzsimmons,
x-heavyweight champion, issued a
lengthy statement Saturday in which
he flayed the individuals on the board,
renounced American citizenship and
said that the citizens have no rights,
regretted ever leaving England and
declared that he is better now than
when he fought Jeffries. Fitzsimmons
says that the board is taking this only
means of making his bread and but
ter away from him, and if he is not
allowed to box he will starve to death
He compares the treatment of athletes
in England with that in America and
says the English sportsmen are bet
ter type of men than the Americans
who manage fight affairs He says he
was bulldozed into signing his citizen
ship papers. BY hard training during
the last five months he has reduced
his weight from 214 to 10 pounds, he
says.

One Worlds Series
Enough Says johnson

Chicago, Dec. 2S-The winners of the
big league pennants in 1915 will not
parade their prowess before crowds at
the Panama Pacific Exposition at San
Francisco two years hence. Following
a story from New York that James A.
Sullivan would take up this suggestion
with the league chiefs, Pres. B. B..
Johnson of the American circuit Sat
urday stated that he will oppose the
appearance of the two pennant-w win
ming teams after they have already
played and determined Worlds
championship.
Johnsons objections are easily ex-
planned. To have the Worlds Series
would hurt baseball. For instance if
the Athletics and the Cubs are the
flag winners, and the Mackmen turn
their usual trick of trimming their
National League opponents in a sec
ond series the Cubs might trim the
Athletics, and what would be the re-
suit:
The public would say: 80, the Ath-
letics We're lucky. Didn't the Cubs beat
them the second time?" And the
worlds championship wouldn't be con-
sidered as meaning much of anything.
Johnson suggests that series of
seven games be waged between two
picked teams, representative of the
two major leagues. Johnson is willing
to make the members of the Baseball
Writer'S Association the judges in the
selection of the all-star teams
