ACTON NOT
LIKELY TO OPEN
810 GLOB HERE
By AV. AV. Naughton.
SAX 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
■porting men" of the big Eastern
Pity.
Mac always promised fuller par
ticulars "bv 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
thelr 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
w 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 wmnder
whether tome one was kidding him
or he war kidding the balance of
us.
Improving Big Stadium,
The vert latest from Sydney is
that Mclntosh is having the
Rusheutters Bay stadium roofed
over so as to be available for box
ing matches both winter and sum
mer. This looks as though Mc-
Intosh has made up his mind to
stax 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 Mct’arey. and while
■ doing so has given the ethics of
matchmaking a violent w rench
The last mail from Australia
brought the usual output of press
bureau stuff from the Mclntosh of
fire in Sydney. tint circular let
ter sets forth that the stadium was
being roofed in and that as a big
opening card Mclntosh was after
Jeannette and Langford. The <’i>'-
eular 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 be 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 kind?
of inducements to go to Australia
and box Langford," wrote McKit
terick. "He 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 be 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 ft 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
“BIG FIGHT SURE TO END IN KNOCOUT”==RYAN
By Ed. W. Smith.
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June
17.—1 f the deductions of
Tommy Ryan, sage of Syra
cuse, work out as correctly as his
deductions usually do. there will be
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.
Furthermore, Ryan believes that
the said knockout will come inside
of eighteen rounds. Which will
score the knockout, you naturally
expect me to tell you. I would tell
you if Ryan would tell me what he
thinks,- but the sage is just a bit
too foxy to commit himself to that
extent just yet.
Leave It to Ryan to figure the
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
early 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 Just
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 al this stage of the game. To

begin with. Flynn is going to be in
great shape. That’s assured right
now. unless, of course, some sort
of an accident happens to him; but
with the care he is getting the
chances of 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
tight; 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. Headache* and nausea were
also frequent He was listless and dull,
and would not play as other children
would. He was getting weak and thin,
and nothing that was given in the way
of medicine would do any good at all.
Then about four years ago the parents
became convinced that their dear boy
was the victim of a horrible parasite,
and this knowledge almost dr ,ve them
frantic. The child was trea.ed 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
enne to Atlanta The grand work that
lie was doing with the Quaker Reme
dies came to the attention of Mrs. Os
born who called at Coursey <t- Munn's
Drug Store He recommended Quaker

over 4.009 tapeworms In h!s experience
She procured a treatment and imme
diately began giving it to the hoc What
was the- result ' In six days after be
ginning its use he was seized with a
Johnson's condition, our man will
be there in the”flnest 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 in that I wouldn't
be surprised to see Johnson might

"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.
Every 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 Ha* 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 ail
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 ns 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 hie
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
