M„ June 6.—lt’s funny how the desert heat acts upon the fighters. - Jim Flynn, training for his great Fourth of July fight with Jack Johnson, is red as a broiled lobster these days. His face and neck are studies in flaming scarlet and he sweats like an honest plowhorse and reduces his weight ounce by ounce. Jack Johnson never has looked like a broiled lobster and never will. He doesn’t sweat when he i works and so far as Is noticeable I he doesn't shed any of his superflu ' ous avoirdupois. And as for the complexion of his countenance, it looks as much as ever like the en trance of the Hoosac tunnel at midnight. Flynn today weighs 204 pounds: Johnson says he is under 230, but he doesn’t look it. Jack makes much of the fact that he is only going to claim the championship up to Labor day. Then, he says, he's going to retire. Adelina Patti ’ used to say the same thing, but : Johnson says he means ft. And Jim Flynn, In his heart of hearts, actu ally believes that Johnson is going to permanently retire before that. To be specific. Flynn is cocksure that Johnson is going to be frisked of his crown on July 4 and that henceforth he will become a “come back" claimant. “Yes; I'm going to retire, but not because I expect to be thumped,” said Johnson today. A Modern Alexander. "I’m like Alexander the Great— I'm too good. There isn't any one else to lick. I’m going to stick to my original proposition. After I whale Flynn I will fight a man a week until Labor day and then it will be curtains for Jack Johnson. I’ll guarantee to lick all the hopes in the world between July 4 and Labor day—red hopes, white hopes, •blue hopes and black hopes. I’ll PAIGE PITCHES WELL; WINS GAME WITH HIT : CHATTANOOGA, TENN., June 8 • "Piggy” Paige, who has been kicked ' Ground the Southern league a good bit in his day, turned up with Montgom ery here yesterday and downed the Lookouts in a 5 to 2 game. With runners on second and third in the seventh and two out. More passed Gribbens to get Paige, and Piggy sin gled, scoring two runs. The play prac tically won the game for Montgomery. The local team allowed two more runs in the eighth and ninth. Paige passed three men in succession at the begin ning of the fourth, and Noyes' single scored two. Otherwise the ex-Cracker pitched a great game in his debut With Montgomery. GIANTS SCORE 22 RUNS OFF REDLAND HURLERS I NEW YORK, June 6.—Just where the Cincinnati team stands in relation to the Giants was never better shown than yesterday, when the Giants trim med the Reds, 22 to 10. Fromme and Keefe were batted for nine runs in the first two innings. Sam Fletcher, a recruit from the Reading (United States league) team, finished for Cincinnati and was wild and Inef fective. i Doyle in six times up made three sin gles, a double and a triple. , | Second Baseman Egan of the vlsi l ! tors acquired a broken nose when he I was hit by a grounder and had to re tire from the game. ■| YESTERDAY?

THURSDAY, JUNE 6, 1912, belt them all one a week and if they come too thick I’ll take 'em even faster." “A hope a week or better. Get me?" “Does that mean Sam Lang ford'?" some on asked. “It sure does. But Sam and Joe Woodman will have to put up a side bet. I don't like that nigger, and if I have to do business with him I want his money. Yes, sir; if Sam Langford wants a licking from me he will have to buy it. I can lick Langford, too, don't forget that. I'm the human thrashing ma chine and they can send all the boys they want to my mill." Talks Much; Trains Little. Jack talked more today than he trained. He refuses to take Flynn very seriously and Is sure he will win in a few rounds. He is keep ing good hours, however, and takes considerable road exercise. But he ■ doesn't like to box any more. He stalls and talks and skylarks with his boxing partners. The whole four are classed as being the worst sjteclmens of boxers that ever fol lowed the campfire of a champion. Not one of the four ever won even a preliminary fight in his life. But Jack doesn't care. He swats them all impartially and lovingly—black and white alike. At Montezuma Springs Flynn's training partners get different treatment. Flynn isn't enough of a boxing craftsman to spare them. He never learned to hit easy and Al Williams, Bay Marshall and Howard Morrow are having a sweet time of it. Flynn boxes Hike he fights. He wallops with all his might and all three are ready to quit; in fact, they have quit temporarily. AU three were so bunged up today that there was no boxing matinee and Tommy Ryan is wondering where he can get a new set of trainers for Flynn. THOMPSON MAKES DEBUT; STANDS NAPS ON HEADS CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 6.—Carl Thompson, star pitcher of the Uni versity of Georgia team for several years, broke brilliantly into big league ball here yesterday. After the Naps had lit on Quinn and pounded him from the box, Thompson was sent In. It was a terrible contract for a youngster, but he met it like a man. He stood the Naps on their heads, allowed only two hits in the four innings that remained, fanned four batters and did not allow a run. Thompson will soon be given a test in a full game. CARL RAY WINS THREE GAMES IN THREE DAYS WINSTON-SALEM, N. C„ June 6. By pitching the Winston-Salem team to victory in a double-header yester day afternoon Charlotte, Carl Ray, ales-handed college twirler, broke the Carolina league, if not the world’s, record.

Tuesday's contest was postponed on account of rain and in yesterday's double bill won again by the score of 7 to 5 in the opening game and 12 to 3 in the second. I HEWSHEIM CIGAIO Ciood ?

MATT WELLS WINS, BUT IS FLOORED BY YOUNG BROWN NEW YORK, June 6.—Two cauli flower ears today adorn Matt Wells, ■ (older of the llghcwelgtn cnampionsthlp of England. Up until last night, when Wells boxed ten rounds with Young Brown, an East Side lightweight, he had only one puffed ear. But in the third round Brown shot a swing at the Briton which caught Wells in the ear and led to the twin adornment. Wells was floored in the first round, but after that he fought strongly and won the popular verdict. The fight was fast, with the English man getting in three blows to Brown's one, but the young East Sider fought gamely. Wells w,as cautioned for using his head and hitting on the breakaway. Wells weighed In at 140 1-2 pounds and Brown at 137. RUSSELL AND COLEMAN REACH ATLANTA TODAY “Lefty” Russell and Infielder Coleman, two Atlanta recruits, will be on the job today. Coleman came to Atlanta from Detroit by the way of New York, which accounts for the long delay. He would have come by Paris and London if he hadn’t thought It was nearer byway of New York. Russell is due from Hagerstown. Md., tonight. He will doubtlessly be used Sat urday.
