LIKELY TO OPEN
810 GLOB HERE
By AV. W. Naughton.
SAN FRANCISCO. June 17.
Many a moon has waxed and
waned since Hugh D. Mcln
tosh, the Australian fight promoter,
gave out that he was about to em
bark in his particular line of busi
ness in New York, having been in
vited to do so by "many leading
sporting men’’ of the big Eastern
City. -
Mac always promised fuller par
ticulars “by next mall,” but as the
mail in question is more than a
year overdue, it begins to look as
though something has gone awry
with Mclntosh's plans for an East
ern invasion.
It was a weird proposition from
the outset. New York, like any
other big American city, has sport
ing entrepeneurs who can hold
their own with men in that line the
world around, and why Mclntosh
was needed there to show them
how to run things was never very
clear. If the Australian had gone
there with a string of Australian
fighters and merely as a padrone,
it would have been quite under
standable, but the suggestion that
his presence was deemed necessary
to place boxing on a proper footing
« as a good deal of a joke.
Now that Mac’s Australian press
bureau stuff contains no further
reference to his New York inva
sion, we are beginning to wonder
whether some one was kidding him
or he was kidding the balance of
us.
Improving Big Stadium.
The very latest from Sydney is
that Mclntosh is having the
Rushcutters Bay stadium roofed
over so as to he available for box
ing matches both winter and sum
mer. This looks as though Mc-
Intosh has made up his mind to
stay at home and make Australia
an all-year-round pugilistic ren
dezvous.
For that matter, Mac is already
casting around for winter cards,
and he is not particular whose
Corns he treads on while reaching
for what he wants. He has prob
ably taken the Jeannette-Langford
-- contest from McCarey, and while
doing so has given the ethics of
matchmaking a violent wrench.
The last mail from Australia
brought the usual output of press
bureau stuff from the Mclntosh of
fice in Sydney. One circular let
ter sets forth that the stadium was
being roofed in and that as a big
opening card Mclntosh was after
Jeannette anil Langford. The cir
cular mentioned that some little
trouble was expected because
Jeannette and Langford were al
ready matched for Los Angeles, but
expressed the belief that the Los
Angeles stumbling block was
“something that could he adjusted.’*
Letter From Jeannette's Manager.
About the same date the writer
received a letter from Dan Mc-
Kitterick. manager of Jeannette,
who at the time was in Paris.
"Mclntosh is offering us all kinds
of inducements to go to Australia
and box Langford," wrote McKit
terick. "Ho says Langford has
signed up for a new batch of con
tests, and will not return to Amer
ica for a long time.”
About, a week later, McCarey,
the Los Angeles matchmaker, re
ceived a cablegram from Lang
ford's manager in Australia, setting
forth that they had been made par
ties to a lawsuit and would not be
able to sail for home in time to
keep the July date with Jeannette
in Los Angeles.
“We will bo back in September,
so try and keep Jeannette in the
country," said the cable, but after
reading the extracts given from the
letters received from Mclntosh and
McKitterick it is easy enough to
see that they have put one over on
poor old Uncle Tom, the sage of
Vernon.

Flynn's Trainer Believes Title Battle Won’t Go Over Eighteen Rounds
“810 FIGHT SURE TO END IN KNOCOUT”-R¥AN
By Ed. W. Smith. «
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M.. June J
17.—1 f the deductions of ’
Tommy Ryan, sage of Syra- (
cuse, work out as correctly as his <
deductions usually do, there will be 1
a crashing knockout one way or '
the other July 4, when Jack John- ’
son defends his championship box- '
ing title against Jim Flynn, the '
Pueblo fireman. 1
Furthermore, Ryan believes that 1
the said knockout will come inside 1
of eighteen rounds. Which will 1
score the knockout, you naturally 1
expect me to tell you. I would tell ’
you if Ryan would tell me what he 1
thinks, but the sage is just a bit 1
too foxy to commit himself to that '
extent just yet. 1
Leave it to Ryan to figure the 1
thing out to a pretty fine point.
Just slant your eye over what Tom
my told me last night, when he
came into the city and loafed
around the fight headquarters for
a little time before going to bed.
Tom retires early, for the habits
he learned on that Michigan fruit
farm of his haven't deserted him,
and he is up with the larks here,
fussing around the lawn plat in
front of his temporary home, about,
three blocks from the center of the
city.
“Well, have you got It pretty well
doped out?” Tom queried after tell
ing how nicely Flynn had worked
before a big crowd at the Montezu
ma quarters. ’
Flynn in Fine Form.
“No: hut I’d like to hear what
you think about it as far as they’ve
gone,” I answered. "It’s a little
earl}' yet to form a definite opinion
and I have not seen the champion
yet,”, said the foxy one with his big
smile. “But I know one thing juht
from what I have seen around the
Flynn camp: There’s going to be a
smashing knockout one way or the
other. It’s an easy thing to dope
out at this stage of the game. To
begin with, Flynn is going to be in

GIANTS: PIRATES
AND REDS FOLLOW
NEW YORK. June 17. -Manager John
McGraw of the invincible New York
Giants makes the prediction of the finish
of the National league pennant race—
New York first, Pittsburg second, and
Cincinnati third.
The Giant, leader believes that when
Adams, O'Toole, Camnitz and Hendrix
hit “their stride the Pirates will forge for
ward as runners-up in the National league
debate. He concedes Hank O’Dar a place
in the first division, but the highly re
pugnant idea of being beaten out by an
ex-umpire is no longer troubling the mid
night dreams.
MACK FAVORS OWN
TEAM; WHITE AND
RED SOX ARE NEXT
PHILADELPHIA, June 17.—Connie
Mack has not talked of the chances of
the world's champion Philadelphia Ath
letics to win the American league race to
date, but the shrewd leader of the title
holders expressed himself today on the
subject and what he bad to. say should
be carefully digested by fandom.
"Chicago has a great ball club,” said
Mack, “but we have the best team in the
league, man for man. I think that the
fight at the finish—you know it's a long
race—will develop between the Athletics
and both of the Soxes, the Red Sot? 1 of
Boston, and the White Sox of Chicago,
with the latter the better team because
of their evenly balanced pitching staff
and the fact that Ed Walsh, is a horse, for
work.”
GIANTS GET IN BAD BY
OVERCROWDING STANDS
NEWYOORK, June 17.—The New
York National league baseball team
and the police department clashed in
police court in New York over the
crowding of aisles at the Polo grounds
recently, when 31,000 people saw the
game between the New York and Cin
cinnati teams. Joseph D. O’Brien, sec
retary of the Giants, who was sum
mon.e’d to court by a battalion chief of
the fire department, was confronted
with-evidence that 900 persons stood in
the aisles of the grandstand during the
game, which Is contrary to a city ordi
nance.
The back of the stand was also
packed, it was charged, and the com
plaint was marie that spectators stood
under the grandstand. On the request
of Mr. O'Brien's lawyer, the.case went
over until August 5.

now, unless, of course, some sort

with the care he is getting the
chances or that are entirely remote.
"Now, then, if it should happen
that Johnson isn't In the very best
of shape to stand a hard, grueling
fight; if for some reason or other
he isn't there the way he used to
be; if he hasn’t got that wallop

els and a dizziness would attack him
often. Headaches and nausea were
also frequent He was listless and dull,
and would not play as other children
would. He w.a getting weak and thin,
and nothing that was given in the wav
of medicine would do any good 'at all.
Then about four years ago the parents
lecanie convinced that their dear boy
was the victim of a horrible parasite,
tnd this knowledge almost rtrov<- thorn
frantic. The ehild was treated three
times unsuccessfully for the trouble,
but still he suffered. The parents had
about given up all hope of his ever
being cured, when the Health Teacher
came to Atlanta. The grand work that
he was doing with the Quaker Reme
dies came to tne attention of Mrs. Os
born who called at Com soy kt Munn's
Drug Store He recommended Quaker
Extract, telling her that it had expelled
over 4.090 tapeworms in his experience.
She procured a treatment and imme
liately began riving it to the boy. '.’.'hat
was the result? In six day after be
ginning its use he was seized with a
Johnson's condition. Our man will
be there in the finest of shape. Mind
you, I’m not trying to cast any
doubt upon Johnson's sincerity in
this matter. 1 know that he'll train
at his very best, but all along peo
ple have been telling me that, per
haps, he can not stand the strain
of it any more.
“There's one mTgnty sure thing
about this contest: Johnson isn't
going to have any luscious snap in
downing this fellow of mine.
"Even if he is in the finest shape,
Flynn is going to bother him 'most
to death before he’ll be forced to
admit defeat. Flynn can take such
a powerful lot of it and grin and
keep on tearing li> that I wouldn t
be surprised to see Johnson might
ily worried for a long time.
•“Rough fight, you ask? Well, isn’t
any fight a rough one? This
shouldn’t be any worse than any
of the others. It's going to be a
smashing fight from the jump, and
you can bet on that, and there
won't be a single love tap in It.
Ever}’ punch will have something
like murder behind it, and if it
does not go more than a couple of
rounds that big crowd is going to
get a big run for its money.
Flynn Has Only One Style.
Ryan further remarked that he
and Flynn had never discussed any
particular plan of battle that Flynn
might pursue in the coming con
test, because of the fact that Flynn
has never had but one style in all
of his long career in the ring. That
style will have to do for him now.
It's simply that he will walk right
into the colored man and keep as
close to him as he possibly can,
whaling away at all times.
Ryan thinks that Flynn’s short
ness of stature, coupled with his
crouch, will bother Johnson some.
When Flynn is boxing he presents
little but the top of his head to his
opponent, and an uppercut is about
the only good method of attack for
the foe. Johnson knows this well
and it is plain that he is getting
that punch into good working order
from the frequency with which he

Pointers for
Contestants
So many questions come to the contest
editor daily that are duplicates of those
answered each day in these columns, that
we have grouped a number of them to be
answered today for the benefit of a large
number whose queries have been in our
files unanswered for several days.
1. There is only one correct solution
for each picture.
2. The contest closes ten days after we
print the seventy-fifth (last) picture. This
period of ten days allows contestants
ample time to send in their solutions.
3. Not more than one solution for each
picture will be accepted in any set of
answers. But you are allowed to send in
three complete sets of answers, if you
choose.
4. Each set of answers will be consid
ered separately, and in the event that no
complete set of correct answers is re
ceived, the grand prize will be awarded
the contestant sending in the greatest
number of correct solutions in one set of
solutions.
5. A tie will result in division of the
prize between tying contestants.
THE ANSWER BOOK WILL HELP YOE.
It provides a means for sending in your
solutions in a neat, orderly manner. The
first 50 pictures of the contest are repro
duced in its pages. And 25 pages have
spaces marked off for the pasting in of•
those pictures not reproduced in the book
itself. These 25 pietnres can be cut from
the pages of The Georgian each day. The
book will be sent anywhere on receipt of
one dollar.
Back numbers of the Proverb Pictures
are sold at 2 cents each—the price you

days the pictures were printed. The sup
ply of these pictures has not been equal
to the demand, and some delay in sending
them out has resulted. We have plenty
of them in stock now.
