IN HE boxing bout at the Atlanta
Auditorium rmory on Friday
night, June 10, will bring to-
gether in an Atlanta ring the tough
est heavyweight in the world and the
cleverest heavyweight in the world.
Nobody would argue that any
heavyweight was as tough as Jim
Flynn. He IS THE Battling Nelson
of the Heavyweight Division" which
is an honorable title
In many ways the careers Of Nell
son and Flynn were similar. Both
were tough and scrappers from the
heart Both have given the public
their best in every bout. Both found
their paths to fame obstructed by a
dense black cloud. The only differ
ence was that Nelson disposed OF his,
while Flynn didn't. At that, Jim has
always said he would have won over
Johnson if the affair had not been
stopped.
Flynn is one Of those weird per
formers who comes right back after
knockout. He has been given the
X. 0. decision, technically or in real
earnest, time and again. Yet, after
dozen years of scrapping he is to-
udE dL lilt apex VI the PIE anu SoluS
strong Perhaps never in his career
has he shown to better advantage
than he did in his last bout.
Flynn. like Nielsen, seems immune
from pain. They can hammer him
all day in the same SPOT and he comes
back for more. He isn't any Joe
Grim at that, for he is clever enough
and doesn't Intentionally absorb any
punishment. But II he has to take
II he does II without flinChing and
IL the "ates decree a knockout against
him II has TO be a cold knockout or
interference by the referee to stop
him, for he hasn't had enough" yet
in any scrap.
Jim Flynn is not any more remark
able for his tOughness than Savage is
for his cleveTness. They all award
the palm to Savage He is the best
in the lot. When he and Flynn meet
they will give the spectators ten
rounds of warm happenings.

an expense from the day he Is bought
until the day OF his death. The only
thing he can earn is a modicum OF
glory and a few cups which as a
rule do not cost as much as his sad
die and bride From this Il may be
CLEANED that between racing and polo
there is a distinction with a differ

SPORTS AND SUCH
BY RIGHT CROSS


NEW YORK. JUNE 5.-THE
loyal public of this city has bid
farewell TO Hal Chase, the great
est living monument to the futility
of ability without a balance wheel
Chase is one of the greatest
natural ball players that ever lived
If he could have gone into trance
at s o'clock every evening and
remained unconscious until the
next afternoon he would still be one
Of the most valuable players in the
big leagues, instead Of being offered
about the circuit for weeks, and no
bidders.
He was ruined by too much lis
tening to the constant chorus Of
What a wonder you arel" He
acquired a taste for that sort Of
music and this inevitably led to
fatty degeneration OF the bump OF
self-esteem, a disease which de-
velops just before a ball player gets
the gate.
He was only a kid when he came
to the Yankees, and before the end
Of the season he was the idol OF
the league There were a num-
Der OF hangers-on about the
Yankee camp whose chief mission
IN ne WAS TO ltll + aim L a. va
how to tell his manager how to
run the team They ,alked TO
Chase and convinced him that be-
cause he was a good oarsman he
qualified 10 command a full-rigged
ship. Immediately his usefulness
to this or any other team came to
an end The same crowd per-
suaded Mr.. Farrell to make him
manager. and he ruined a team
that had come within a few games
Of winning the pennant.
REDUCED TO THE RANKS HE
ignored the example Of other great
ball players-Lajoie, for instance
who have failed as managers and
BY earnest, steady bail playing kept
their place in the general esteem.
Instead he sulked. He has jumped
the club once IL he couldn't have
his pet toy he wouldn't play. This
IS the reason that he was not even
valuable trading property. Nobody
wanted him. A big baseball man
told the writer this spring that he
did not believe a single magnate
in either league would have Chase
as a gift.

POTATOES TO FATTEN PIGS

An experiment to test the feed
ing value of raw or steamed pota-
toes as supplementary feed with a
grain ration, has been carried on by
Robt. Withcomb at the Eastern
Oregon experiment station. with
interesting results, which will be of
special value this year on account
of the superabundant potato crop.
The hogs in the experiment were
divided into eight lots and records
of the different feed ration given
each and the proportionate gains
made were kept carefully. Each
hog in lots l and 2 ate an average
of 1908 pounds of barley and $685.
So pounds of raw potatoes, making
a gain in weight of 6O.7O pounds.
Those in lots 8 and ate 1000
pounds of barley and 663. IS pounds
steamed potatoes, and made a gain
in weight OF 7O.6O pounds while
those in lots 5 and 6 ate 1880
pounds barley and 564.S0 pounds
steamed potatoes and made gain.
of 70. 10 pounds. Lots 7 and s ate
30O.1O pounds barley without po-
tatoes and made a gain of 69.5
pounds.
The last two lots, fed barley alone,
were used as check to the others
to show more definitely the proper
tionate value of the potatoes. At
the present market value of $.O7 a
pound, live weight, the hogs fed
barley made a $4.S7 gain, which
makes the barley feeding value
$1.62 to the hundred.
Lots 1 and 2 fed barley and raw
potatoes at the rate of 3 pounds OF
potatoes to a pound OF barley, made
a 1925 gain. which gives the raw
potatoes feeding value of S.29 to
the hundred. Lots 3 and 4 receiv-
ing 6 times as much steamed pota-
toes as barley, made a "a. "a gain
giving the steamed potatoes feed
ing value of SAT to the hundred
Lots 5 and six fed three times as
much steamed potatoes as barley,
making a $5.47 gain, making the
feeding value of the potatoes 5. AZ
to the hundred.
1t is noticeable that those fed six
times as much potatoes as grain did
not make quite the gain made by
the other, but it required $50 25
pounds less barley to make this
gain, so the difference in feeding
val ue is accounted for.
| 1t is also noteworthy that the
steam potatoes are worth S.13 more
to the hundred than raw for feeding,
as shown in the comparison of gains
of animals fed the 3 10 ration.
