JAMES FLYNN IS
OLDEST BOXER
Death of Jim Barry Leaves
Flynn in a Class By Him
self as Veteran.

The death OF Jim Barry. who was
killed in a duel at Colon, Panama,
leaves the veteran Jim Flynn in
class by himself as a kind Of shock
absOrber among the heavyweights.
Barry was the same sort OF tough
bsttler as Flynn. and he took dozens
Of beatings in the course OF his career
in the ring.
Only recently Flynn met Bob De-
we're in New York and he took one
Of the worst beatings of his career.
There was something unusual in the
meeting OF these two battlers. and the
result Of the bout
Several years ago Devere was a
sparring partner for Flynn around
Kansas City. and he says he used TO
take daily beating from the Puebloan.
Now IL is Devere who has the upper
hand for he is young and strong.
clever enough to protect himself
against the rushes and the wild swings
OF fighter like Flynn. and he can hit
like a ton of brick.

Manager Says.
WELSH TRAINS HARD
FOR LEONARD BOUT

FREDDIE WELSH, lightweight
champion. IS not going to give
- up his title. Recently at an en-
tertainment in New York city Welsh
made public announcement in which
he stated that he did not intend to
give up the championship, and more
ever he was going to fight all corners
over the ten round and 20 round
routes.
Welsh at present f. in training
for his scheduled bout with Benny
Leonard Wednesday night at Madi-
son Square Garden. and is said to
he In fine condition. 4 letter re-
eefved by The Herald Monday eve
ming from Harry Pollok. manager
Of welsh. is follows:
Sporting Editor.-Dear Sir: The en-
closed clipping explains itself as TO
Freddie Welsh's intentions regarding
thoroughly IN earnest when he made
the statement that he did not intend
TO retire and also when he told me
TO sign him for all the twenty round
matches I could get.
He. later on. strengthened this
suggestion by telling me not to be
too exactinE in my financial de-
UR1ds for such matches SO there
Is the situat iOn. and fl is MP to the
lightweight cOntenders who think
they can win the title, to get ont
and hustle and Dig mp battle
zrounds-
When welsh was after the title, We
had to do It, and we had to give the
then title holder, Willie Richie. more
money than any lightweight ever re-
oeived for q championship match, and
20 aIl the way 10 England to stage
the battle.
ON top Of this. Welsh not only didn't
get any money out OF the match, but
the acquiring Of the title, personally
cost US nearly $4,000 besides the
$4,000 which was paid TO Richie. No
lightweight is barred and any pro-
moter who has q championship battle
ground and advances a reasonable
proposition, will be given every con
sideration-

NELSON REFUSES
To LEAVE BOXING
Former Champion Bat Mel
son Is Still in Game and
Will Not Retire.

Among those who have known him
and admired him for the game heart
and ability TO stand punishment which
made Battling Nelson lightweight
champion OF the world there is nothing
but regret that the once durable Dane
continues TO seek matches in the ring
in which he became famous. They al
most had hoped that when he mixed
with a strong tough yOungster in s.
Louis recently the bout would be his
last and that defeat would convince
him that he no longer is fit to hold his
own in the padded circle. But
Nelson won by a knockout and il
has resulted in making him only the
more headstrOng in his determination
to show 'em that he still is possessed
OF a punch and ability to stand pun
ishment-
Nelson has been fighting since 1896,
professionally since 1898, when he was
1e years old He Is 80 years old now
and he has been mauled in the ring as
no other man ever was mauled before
The stamina and courage which put
him on top Of the heap viii not help
now. For while the lion heart remains
the stamina is gone. He Is burned out
by his years of training and fighting
Humanity demands thar the match

BALI today in this city. Los Angeles
and salt Lake City in the opening
games OF the 1917 schedule. The usual
big crowds viii turn out TO see the
first ball pitched over the home plate.
Parades through the city streets pre-
coded the ceremOnials at the various
ball parks while bands played their
nOisest TO add zest to the occasion
The Vernon Tigers and san Fran
cisco Seals met in the opening con-
test here on the new Recreation Park
which has been under construction dur
ing the winter The local plant has
been entirely remodeled. with uptodate
grand stand, and the playing field
much enlarged
The -Portlanders lined up against the
salt Lake club at the latter city while
Los Angeles was host TO the Oakland
club.
Owing 20 the rather erratic form
displayed by the various clubs in the
spring training period opinion differs
as TO the relative merits Of the teams.
but the concensus Of opinion appears
10 favor Los Angeles s the most dan
gerous contender for 1917 hOnOrs- The
Angels were the winners Of last sea

The managers OF all the clubs pro-
fess 10 be satisfied that their organi-
cations are stronger than they were

season wedding out process is fin

As usual, the pitching departments
are the most uncertain quantities and
in several instances the future OF the
team is expected to depend largely on
the way in which the mOundmen turn
out. There are many new faces in
the various lineups. a score of them
being men with comparatively limited
company. This is due TO a new policy
adopted by the league this season.
and considerable interest is being TAX

merIy n penalty Of 10 yards from
the point where the ball was put
in play was imposed on the Offend
ing side.
Some critics believe that under the
new rule players may develop prOmis-
cuOus illegal interference with a view
toward discOurs ging the use OF for
ward passes, but the members Of the
committee believe that the danger OF
fouling is now so great that infrac-
tons OF the rules viii be greatly re-
duced.
The rule which affects coach George
Sanford's multiple kick places a ban
on the use of artificial tees. It is still
within the right Of the player to scrape
up earth from the field for use as a
tee, however. Sanford. who is the
coach at Rutgers, was greatly disap-
pointed II the action. but IL is believed
that inasmuch a. the multiple kick has
been reduced in effectiveness only the
inventor viii devise a new method FOR
using it.

EW YORK. April 5.-The Boston
N Braves have somewhat of

The Braves are fighters on the field
Of play. anu in this years campaign
they may be counted upon TO make .
hot fight for the rag.
But whatever may be said Of
those Braves, one thing stands
out as an unusual feature:
They have more temperament
and nervous energy anchored
around second base than any club
in the two big leagues
With the veteran Johnny Evers on
second and that little pepper box,
Walter Meanwhile, at short, il can BE-
truthfully said that there is more
energy and fighting spirit to the
square inch represented by these joint
guardians Of the keystone cushion
than any other club can boast Of.
Evers is entering upon his 18th year
in baseball. and he hopes to make 1917
one Of the best seasons Of his long
career
Nervous temperament on the
field of play il characteristic OF
EverS. and no doubt HIS high
strung nerves have helped to keep
him in the game this long, al
though last season breakdown
threatened 10 EuI an emu 10 Ais
career.

MANY CLUBS WANT

Clubs from Milwaukee. Kansas City
and New York are said to be after
Fred Fulton for matches. all picking
Carl Morris as his opponent. The tall
man from Minnesota seems TO have a
strong desire to mingle with the beefy
Morris. although Frank Moran prob
ably would be a much better drawing
card. Now that Fulton has made SUCH
good showing in his last two bouts
he ought to be a good attraction. but
instead Of accepting q percentage he
continues to insist that the promoters
take all the risk Of large guarantee.
