CRAGKEHS NIK
WITH LOOKOUTS
IN TWO GAMES
CHATTANOOGA. June 20.—1 f the
Crackers win today’s first ball game
they will narrow down the gap that
separates them from the Chattanooga
team to the margin of two points. If
the (trackers win'both of today’s games
they will pass the Lookouts and as
sume the leadership of the second di
vision.
This mear.% a double-header from the
heart here this afternoon.
The firm of Smith, Jordan & Co.
would rather have their hearts torn
out by the roots than to lose to the
< ’rackers and drop behind them in the
pennant race. The sincerity of their
hatred for the < ’rackers is a marvel.
They will play today’s games for all
that is in them—and that’s a good bit
even it 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 bushers. 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. Hour hits was all the Look
outs could get. while the Crackers piled
up foui’ limes 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.
Erank Dessau will pitch the first
game for the 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.
In the second game "Lefty" R tssell
will make his third appearance hs a
Cracker. And the entire Atlanta team
is agog over the affair. In Rm sell’s
first game lie was a fright. In the
sedond lie was a Marquard. Much of
the Crackers’ chance for success de
pends on Russell’s ability to hold up
his end. If he hurls another good game
today, a game anywhere near as good
as the one ire pitched against Nash
ville at Sulphur Dell, the Crackers will
begin to dream pennant dreams. Cliap
pelle will probably work against Rus
sell.

Johnson and F/ynn, Hearty Eaters, Are Unable to Devour Much Now
FIGHTERS COMPLAIN OE 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 how to lay
their money.
Las Vegas is considerably 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
came 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
B under the strain of a little exer
tion.
Many argue that Flynn, having
been reared in the heights of Pueb
lo. 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 of the
finest he ever saw in an athlete.
And there you are. If botli sides
of the argument are well founded,
there is no argument at all. If
Flynn, having been reared in thin
air, isn’t likely to be affect’d at
all by it, and if Johnson, having
become thoroughly acclimated by
July 4, also is to be free from
deleterious effects. where’s the
question?
But. just the same, the natives
are raising it, and raising it strong.
And even the fighters themselves
are complaining, Johnson the more
so than Flynn. The challenger is •
not saying a great deal because he

Can’t Get "Het Up,”
It is mighty hard to perspire in
Ulis climate.
Let no Eastern man run away
with the commonly expressed idea
that ill of us Eastern men. had
when we came here. Everybody
expected it would be broiling hot
during the days and that the
promised coolness of the nights
would be the only one little offset
to the suffering that everybody was
prepared for during the day.
Nothing could be further from
the truth. During the last week
there has been scarcely a moment
when it was hot. As a matter of
fact, every day is cool here, and
the nights are positively cold. The
section has just passed through a
brief rainy season,' but today the
natives say that with the beautiful
ly bright sunshine, the rainy sea
son is over and there will be no
more moisture fm the next three
weeks at least.
But it isn’t hot. The sun is warm
and pleasant, the shade always
cool, but the nights continue cold.
And one always lias use for a light
overcoat after the sun has dropped
down behind the Rocky mountain
range to the west of the meadow
cities.
Collars do not wilt. That’s why
in a general way it's hard for ath
letes to take off weight here. As
a matter of cold fact, the average
man is inclined to take it on, even
after the severest of labor. Strange,
but true.

but it is hard work. He told me
last night that it 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
here. But it is taking Johnson's
whole ambition and a rare exhibi
tion of will power to keep up the
clip he has to go.
Both fighters are being affected
strangely in the matter of diet
here, too. Both naturally hearty
eaters out of training, they are
the lightest of the .'amps at the
present time.
A little repast like three broilers,
witli all of the trimmings, is noth
ing for Johnson when lie hasn't
anything much on his mind in the
way of training work. Between a
third and a half of the rations will
suffice at the present time.
"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 I do.
I always feel well and cheerful
when getting down to the final
stages of training, but my appe
tite isn’t half what it is when I
don't have to mind what I dispose
of. 1 never undertook to account
for it and will not now. It’s simply
so, and that’s all I know about it.”
Wife Cooks For Johnson.
Mrs. Johnson, with careful and
far-seeing eye. prepares every
morsel of food that the champion
has set before him. She even 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 the champion. But
1 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 the
smallest cater in his camp.
Jim is a careful feeder, however.
He has no wife to cater toshim, but
he has “Chic” Coleman, an old
time friend and a former dining
ear cook, to attend to all of the
food that is set before him. And
no wife 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
meals Jim is still at it, pondering
long over each mouthful and thus
getting the very best 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 trainir g camps.
The diet question in both camps
is a big one, but it is being handled
by perfect artists in their lines.

The
Answer
Book
Is Ready
Now
We are pleased to announce that we are
ready to begin the distribution of Answer
Books today. The number of orders on tile
in the Contest Department and the in
quiries received indicate that it will prove
one of the most popular features of this
great contest.
The sixty-fourth puzzle is printed to
day. There will be seventy-five puzzles
printed in all. Enter the contest now and
have plenty of time to give careful atten
tion to all of the pictures. They are worth
it. The prizes are unparalleled in cost
and attractiveness.
Enter in time to feel confident of victory. En
ter in time to enjoy al your leisure the fasci
nating pleasure of determining the correct an
swers of these interesting pictures. That means
ENTER NOW.
Os course, the contest does not close with the
publication of the last picture. Contestants will
be allowed ten days after that to review, st
range and deliver their sets of solutions to the
Contest Department of The Atlanta Georgian.
20 East Alabama street. And. of course, it is a
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.
They will do that only because they don’t
want to wait any longer than necessary for a.
decision on the merits of their answers — a good
reasonable cause, too.
DO YOURSELF JUSTICE.
Nevertheless, the contest lias now progressed
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
justify—to put all the Ingenuity of their wits
into play—to study the Proverb Book carefull)
for the solutions of the harder 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, simplj' for reviewing and re
vising your answers.
The Contest Department stands always ready
to furnish any one with tne back numbers of
the puzzle pictures 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.
NONE SHOULD STAY OUT.
Is there any reason in the world why any one
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. Lour neighbor is solving the
puzles. He’ll probably be owning one of the
tine prizes we are offering, maybe running
around with one of our cash prizes in his pock
ets, and he'll be exciting your envy with that
“coin." What do you suppose you will think
at tlie thought of him getting ahead of you.
by you just missing this contest?
There are hundreds of other prizes besides
these cash awards that are valuable and beauti
ful. and this contest is OPEN TO YOU
You are the one we want to enter. We want
Its benefit,’, both material and pleasureable, to
be distributed just as fat as they can possibly
reach.
You will find the solving of tlie puzzles t is
cinating. You will find the study of the Prov
erb Book both interesting and instructive, and
you will have always before you the chance of
winning one of the magnificent prizes.
The Proverb Book >s published especially for
this contest and is th only original guide.
ALL PROVERBS IN ROOK.
The book contains more than 3.000 proverbs,
including all that will be used in this contest.
You can obtain a copy at this office for 25
cents, or will be sent to any place by mail for
the sum of 30 cents.
KEEP COPIES DE YOl’R SOLI'TIONS
All contestants an- requested to keep < opies
of all their solutions of tlie puzzles. This will
a\oid a great deal of needless labor after the
contest is over. If you know exactly what an
swer you have for each picture you can com
pare it with the list of correct solutions that
will be printed in The Georgian after the prizes
lire awarded, and there can be no doubt about
your standing in the contest. That is. you will
not have to come to the contest department
and ask that your set be dug out of the great
number submitted, in order to assure yourself
that you didn't win the first instead of the sec
ond prize, or the last instead of none.
