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.

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 NEWS FROM RINGSIDE Tom O,'Rourke, deposed manager of.

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. GIANT CATCHER PINCHED FOR SPEEDING HIS AUTO NEW YORK.
