ISININIII xJ WWN NOT 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 M’GRAW PICKS HIS 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.

Nash ville will play against Atlanta for the first time on home grounds under the new ball assentation headed by John Ft. Aust, the member of the local bar who held the franchise from President Kava naugh jointly w.'th Dan E. McGugin. The latter has relfnquish'ed all claims now to the franchise since the organization of the new association. 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 He’s Ruptured! DON’T take any chance In get ting that truss.
