Flynn Gets Match With Smith
Injured Hand Is Healing Rapidly

good mechanic, but he is said TO
be an excellent driver as well, which
will help a whole lot. Not only will
his aim be to make the trip in alb
solute safety, but to break all known
records for such a trip. Flynn is do
ing it merely for his own satisfac-
ton and nothing else. AS a side
card he figures that the trip will put
him in excellent shape to start IN
training for Smith.
THERE is apt TO be a considerable
L amount OF money wagered on the
result of the flyer across the coun
try. Billy Gibson, the New YORK
promoter, has said that he does not
believe Flynn has a chance Of ac-
comprising such thing, even know
ing him 10 be a game and determined
man. He is willing TO gamble 1000
that IL cannot be done in a 1900
pound car such as Flynn will drive,
He also will wager another $1,000
that Fannie Vedder, F1ynns wife,
does not complete the trip as sched-
uled.

DOUBLES CLOSE
TENNIS TOURNEY.
SMITH IS CHAMP

n GREAT match is expected Sat
~ urday afternoon at the Driv-
ing Club when Mansfield and
Smith play Grant and Thornton in
the closing contest of the Georgia
State tennis championship tourna-
ment The two teams are about ev1
emily matched, and a fast game is
looked for, The tourney has been a
very successful one. A lot of good
playing has been seen, and the in
terest of many old tennis devotees
has been revived.
IN a slow match Friday afternoon
Carlton Smith took the State
championship from Nat Thornton,
after Thornton had held the title for
two consecutive years. Smith, who
also holds the Southern champion
ship title had little difficulty in beat
ing Thornton, who was not at all in
his usual form. The score in the
three sets played was Us, 6-2 60.
a TENNIS tournament of much in
- terest to Atlanta players comes
off at Augusta the week of June 80
This is the South Atlantic tourney,
and several of the local men plan to
enter the contest. Among those who
have signifed their intention of en-
tering are Frank Reynolds, who has
so successfully refereed the State
tournament matches; Lloyd Parks. J.
K. Orr, Jr., Clarke, Ramspeck and
probably others. While the Augusta
meet does not rank in Importance
with the Southern tournament at
New Orleans, some of the best young
er players will be there and good
playing is looked for.
