M WILL NOT
■TEACH'FLYNN,
BUT HELP HIM
By Ed W. Smith.
Tommy ryan isn't going to
join the Jim Flynn 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 away to whip
Jack Johnson at Las Vegas, N. M„
July 4.
This is what Ryan says in a let
ter I 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 be 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, tricks
that can be used with a great deal
of effect both during the training
period and after the fight has start
ed.
“We’re here. Morrow and I, train
ing for Howard’s battle with Sailor
Petrovsky, which takes place in
Oakland May 22." Ryan writes.
“This will be Howard's fourth bat
tle since coming here and he has
won 'all of them handily enough,
showing constantly improving form.
“Right after the Petrovsky fight
we 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 I am going into
the Flynn camp with the idea of
teaching him a Whole lot about
boxing and to change his style to
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 I would have to
show 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 throw him into the ring and
let him do the best he can, back
ing him up with the finest of coach
ing and seconding."
Our “straws” this season
have striking distinctive- /ttfc

C\ facture. Many new ideas <ls

"The average batted ball that goes to
an infielder is traveling at a rate of fO

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 heat 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.

JIW WALSH
GETS fl DRAW
ffIIMNE
BOSTON. May 22.—Johnny Kfl-
hane, conqueror of Abe Attell 4
and the featherweight chant- ‘
pion, waa forced to the limit to get
a draw’ with Jimmy Walsh, pf this
city, at the Pilgrim Athletic club
last night. The bout was witnessed
by a record crowd, including May
or Fitzgerald and several other city
and state leaders.
The match was characterized by
fast, scientific boxing throughout.
For the first eight rounds the men
took matters easy, with honors
about even. Kilba.ne was most ef
fective In in-fighting, while Walsh
balanced up the score with telling
straight-arm jabs at long range.
Walsh's mouth bled slightly in
the fourth from a swing on the
side of the face, but apparently it
did not bother the fighter.
In the ninth Kllbane started ts /
mix It, when Walsh drove a ter-j-*
rifle left over Kllbane’s right ey<,
tearing open the skin and sending
a stream of blood over the cham
pion's face There was a rapid ex
change of heavy blows, with Walsh
having all the advantage.
In the tenth and eleventh Kll
hane was aggressive, with body
punches and short-arm jabs on
the chin during the clinches, and
the two were his rounds, although
Walsh landed frequently on body
and face with his right.
The last round saw both men
mixing It up from the call to the
final bell, with Walsh delivering
effective and telling blows.
