RUN WILL NOT
‘TEACH’FLYNN,
ROT HELP HIM
By Ed W. Smith.
Tommy ryan isn't going to
join the Jim F’lynn camp
with any idea of teaching
the Pueblo fireman how to box or
how to fight. He is merely going
to try to show him n way to whip
Jack Johnson at bas Vegas. N. M.
‘July 4
This is what Ryan says in a let
ter 1 got from him at Oakland.
Cal.. The gist of Tommy's talk is
to the effect that Flynn is too old
a bird in the ring to successfully
stand for a change of style at this
time. It wouldn’t bo safe, vouches
.Ryan, .to make him shift the tactics
he has used with success for a long
time.
But Tommy thinks he can show
him some tricks worth while, tric’ks
that can be used with a great deal
nt effect both during the training
- period and after the fight has start
■ ed.
■‘t\ e're here. Morrow and 1. train
ing for Howard's battle with Sailor
Petrovsky, which takes place in
Oakland May 22," Ryan wrists
"This will be Howard's fourth bat
tle since coming here and he has
won all of them handily enough,
show ing constantly improving form.
"Right after the Petrovsky fight
w e will leave for Las Vegas, where
I will take charge of Flynn's train
ing for the Johnson fight. Morrow
will do a lot of work with Flynn,
which will be a good thing for both
of them.
"I have seen it stated in several
papers lately, that l am going into
the Flynn camp with the idea of
leaching him a whole lot about
boxing and to change his style l<>
fit into that of the black fellow.
These stories always force a smile
out of me. Such a thing would be
fatal if it were not impossible.
"To begin with. Flynn has been
going along in a certain way and
winning steadily with his own style
of mixing. He's an old hand at the
game, too old. in fact, to stand for a
shift in tactics now. especially in
the. limited time 1 would have to
show 7 him things.'
"No. there's only one thing to do
with Flynn. That is to get him
Into the very best of condition and
then thtow.him into the ring and .
let him do the best he can, back
ing him up with the finest of coach
ing and seconding."

"The average batted ball that goes to
an infielder is traveling at a rate of 60
miles an houf," writes some statistical
expert. There's a lot of bosh to such re
ports. The variation is probably from 20
miles to more than 60. Frequently a brisk
runner can beat an infield hit. because it
travels to the infielder very slowly; and
the very next ball he hits may result in
an out at first, by ten feet.
