DESSAU WILL
HURL Will
CHATTANOOGA
CHATTANOOGA. June 20.—At noon
today the local baseball management
decided that the double-header sched
uled for today would be carried over
to Saturday. Therefore only one bat
tle will be held this afternoon.
The firm of Smith, Jordan & Co.
would rather have their hearts torn
out by the roots than to lose to the
Crackers two days in a row. The sin
cerity of their hatred for the Crackers
is a marvel. They will play today’s
game for all that is in them—a-nd that's
a good bit. even if they are slumping
The Crackers got within hailing dis
tance of the Lookouts by winning again
yesterday.
The visitors made the home club
look like hushers. They pinned stuff
all over them. It was, from the local
viewpoint, a horrid fright. Vedder
Sitton pitched as though it was the
old days and a pennant hung on his
efforts. Four hits was all the Look
outs could get. while the Crackers piled,
up four times as many, at the expense
of Forrest More,
It was a fine old game, for the Crack
ers. They romped. That was the whole
story,
Frank Dessau will pitch for
th* Crackers today, while Andy
Ware will no doubt oppose him.
It will be a case of veteran against
busher. and considering the way both
have been going lately it should be a
canter for Dessau.
SAILOR WHITE EASY
FOR GUNBOAT SMITH
NEW YORK. June 20.—Sailor White
was a much marked heavyweight to
day as a result of his ten-round bout
against Gunboat Smith, of California,
at the Royale Athletic club last night.
White was down for the count of nine
twice and was badly battered in every
round.

Johnson and Flynn, Hearty Eaters, Are Unable to Devour Much Now
FIGHTERS COMPLAIN Os LAS VEGAS CLIMATE
By Ed. W. Smith.
(The Georgian's fight expert, who has
been selected to referee the Johnson-
Flynn battle.)
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June
20. —How is the high altitude
of Las Vegas going to af
fect the big fighters when they
start work in their championship
mill here on July 4?
This is one of the big questions
that everybody is asking everybody,
else and a problem that is making
the betting men Hesitate. before
making up their minds howto'lay
their money. , ;
- Las Vegas iis consideraWy over a
mile above sea level. This makes
the air here mighty thin, and, as
one of the Eastern men remarked
the other night when the question
camo up for discussion, "You have
to make two bites at it before you
get a mouthful.”
Even if a trifle inelegant, that’s
the whole thing in a few words.
The man who isn't used to it gasps
under the strain of a little exer
tion.
Many argue that Flynn, having
been reared in the heights of Pueb-.
io. Colo., is better equipped natu
rally to stand the light air than is
Johnson.
The heavyweight champion re
futes this argument by saying that
by the day of the contest he will
have been here long enough to be
come thoroughly acclimated, and, ■
anyway, he remarks, he is immune
from the effects of the air, because, _
of the tremendous lung capacity
and wonderful heart that he pos
sesses. -
Jack Has Wonderful Heart.
It may be recalled that Dr. Sar
gent, the Harvard university ex
pert, after an exhaustive examina
tion' of the champion; said that,
Johnson's heart was one qf. the
finest he ever sawpfn an athlete. ,
And there you are. If both sides
of the argument are well-founded,
there is no argument 'at all. If
Flynn, haying in thin
air, isn't/likely .' to.-be affected at
all by it, and if Johnson, having
become thoroughly acclimated by
Jiffy 4. also is to be free from
deleterious’ effects, where's the
question ?, '
But. Just the same, the h'StiVes
are raising it, and raising it strong.
And eV'sff the fighters themselves
are complaining. Johnson the more
so than Flynn. The challenger is
not saying a great deal because he

Johnson says after Jiis fight with Flynn,
beginning with Al Palzer. he will fight
one "white hope" each week until hr
cleans them all up. Lil Arthur probably

but it is hard wbrk. He told me
last night that Tt was the hardest
grind he ever went through and
that he wouldn't, like to undertake
it again.
The famous colored gladiator is
•getting the results. There is little
question of that, for yesterday he
was well below the 220-pound mark
for the first time since he has been
hem. But it is taking Johnson’s
whole ambition apd a rarp exhibi
tion of will ftovyer to keen up the
clip he has to go.
Roth fighters’.are being affected
strangely In the matter of diet
hem, ton. Both naturally hearty
eaters out of trit, filing, they are
the lightest of the camps at the
present time.
A little repast like three broilers,
with ail.of the trimmings, is noth
ing for Johnson when he- hasn’t
anythirig much on his mind in' the
way of. training work. Between a
third and, a half <-f the rations will
suffice at the present time.
1 “That was usually the way with
me when I'm training,” the cham
pion said last night. "All of my
helpers eat twice as much as 1 do
I always feel well and cheerful
When getting down tn the final
stages of training, but my appe
tite isn't half what it is when I
don't have to mind what 1 dispose
of. 1 never undertook to account
for It and will not now . It’s simply
so, arid that's, all I know about it.”
Wife Gerok# For Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson; with careful and
far-seeing eye, prepares every
morsel of food that the champion
has set before him.. She oven kills
all of the chickens and other fowl
that go to the table. She is a. cook
of surpassing skill, too, and de
lights in preparing dainties by the
score for the' lord of all athletic
creation. And. these dishes are
never out of her sight for an in
stant until they have been rejected
or accepted by t.ie champion. But
I can say.that mighty few of them
go into the discard or are passed
along to the second training table
occupied by the camp helpers.
Like Johnson, Flynn is t'no
smallest eater in his camp.
Jim is a careful feeder, however.
Ho has no w ife to eater to him. but
he has "Chic” Coleman, an old
time friend and a former dining
car cook, to attend to all of. the
food that Is set before him. And
no w lfj# could be more painstaking
than this same "Chic," who puts
up about the most appetizing ar
ray of victuals that one could con
sistently wish for.
Long after the always famished
helpers have plowed through their
nq.eals Jfrn Is still.at it. pondering
long over each mouthful and thus
getting the very bast results, ac
cording to all 'experts in the gas
tronomic line. Mealtime is a de
light to Flynn, because he is a
strong, healthy man; but he ex
ercises the greatest care with his
food, despite the fact that he dis
poses of some dishes, corned beef
and cabbage, for instance, that usu
ally are eschewed in other well
organized trainirg camps.
The diet question in both camps
is a big one. but it is being handled
by perfect artists in their lines.

fact that many readers who like “quick action"
in a contest will not get the back numbers and
begin to solve the puzzles until they can get a
whole set at once.

want to wait any longer than necessary for a
decision on the merits of their answers—a good,
reasonable cause, too.

so far that time is precious. Some of the puzzle
pictures will be found to require quite a bit of
time and thought, even for the contestants who
are aided by the possession of one of the The
Georgian's Proverb Guides, and the prizes are
so great in value that no one who enters the
competition seriously will want to skim any
puzzle. They will want to do themselves full
justice—to put all the ingenuity of their wits
Into play—to study the Proverb Book carefully
for the solutions of the hard": puzzles THAT
IS WHY WE SAY START NOW. ' '
By doing so. you will have not only enough
time, but a superfluity of time to get all the
back numbers of the Puzzle Pictures solved
with care, to keep up with the few remaining
daily pictures and have a period of ten days, a
period of grace, simply for reviewing and re
vising your answers.
The Contest Department stands always ready
to furnish any one with the back numbers of
the puzzle pfl’tures and answer blanks. You
can have them at the regular rates of The
Daily Georgian, 2 cents per copy, or they will
be sent to any place by mail upon receipt of
the amount to cover the number wanted.

in reach of The Georgian's circulation should
miss this unexampled opportunity to win the
richest prizes ever offered in a. contest of this
kind?
Look about you. Your neighbor is solving the
puzzles. He'll probably be owning one of the
fine prizes we are offering, maybe running
around with one of our cash prizes in his pock
