FLYNN GRITTY IN 1307 FIGHT WITH JOHNSON By \V. W. Naughton. I HAVE yet to read a ’'statement" from Jack Johnson in which some reference is not made to the terrible mauling that awaits Jim Flynn at Las Vegas on July 4. Now, one might think that hav ing so much the better of the pros pect from the ordinary methods of doping out pugilistic results. Jack could afford to be both chivalrous and magnanimous and refrain from the threatening language that ema nates fprii his training camp every few dajrs: From the fact that he continues to shake his horny (Ist a't the fireman. Jack is laying him self open to the suspicion that he is not as consummately confident about the July scrap as ho pre tends to be. Ones thing is certain, however. If Jack is bent upon intimidating Flynn£ his efforts will fall fiat, for I* lynt-i is a fellow whose courage is un-datihicd. Pity it is that his othet*'’’fighting qualifications are not qtti.a par with his grit. If they wercj he. would permit some of its to Jthink more kindly of his <■ ha trees. h’hr weal or woe. Jim will surely battle like, a tiger when-he goes against the champion. Ami even If he-sttcceeds no belter than he did wlieh he faced the big colored man in Safi Francisco in November, 1967. ho will command the respect of the spectators a tribute of praise is never withheld from the ring man who nuts up a brave struggle in the face of the over powering odds. Flynn Ran Into Blows. Just now the sports of the Pa cific coast ate refreshing their memories in connection with that last eleven-round bout between Johnson and Flynn. They recall that Flynn tried to fight close from th<- first smash of the gong ami that even when tossed back by the force of Johnson's uppercuts he re turned to the charge again and again. He fought right into John son's hands, in fact. AU the big negro had to do was Io set himself to meet Flynn's rush, and the un fortunate fireman kept hurling himself on the spears. ifrientla of Flynn outside the ropes fool friends they surely were -kept urging the fireman to leap at Johnson, and 'Flynn did so un flinchingly. And for fear Flynn might forget that he was being urged to jump at the cannon's mouth, Johnson, with sneering sarcasm, kept saying: "i'ome on. Flynn: they’re tell ing xmt to." Flynn took a fearful whaling that day and took it like a Spar tan. He was bruised and bat tered. but full of fighting spirit clear to the finish. Toward the end of the tertth round—the las' but one -he glared good humoredly at Johnson out of his undamaged eye and with a shake of the head remarked: "You're a clever guy." Fought Hard to End. In the very next round, while still hurling himself at Johnson. Fix nil bumped into the uppercut which brought him face downward to the floor Hr was game to the last d it ch.

And in this connection it can trutJifullv be -aid that' Johnson's higg<|St sue esse- more particular ly when opposed to shorter mon than himself —have been achieved by taunting the other man into doing the rushing.

The Jacksonville Scouts have the pennant sewed up in a sack. They came with a rush during the past three weeks, and have such a lead that, if the' drop the remaining three games to be played they would still win the pennant. But all the other teams have appar ently strengthened, and the race in the second season promises to be a free for-all affair. CLARKE MAY GET BACK IN HARNESS: IS TRAINING PITTSBURG. June 24. Reports are fix ing thick ami fast here that _ Fred Clarke max' return to the Pirates' out field.

Joe Ward, the Augustan playing with the Rochester team, may drop out of baseball next year. This news was brought here by Joe’s father, who is in the city for the Derw>- o ratio m vent ion. Mr. Ward was formerly a ball player himself. About 30 years ago he was one of the best pitchers the Athletics had. Baseball was different then, a pitcher being allowed only to throw the ball underhanded. Mr. Ward says Joe has been wise and saved his money, with the result that he is ready to quit the national game and to settle down to private business. Ward played thin! base for the Hustlers last year, and started at playing that position the beginning of the present season, but Spencer did not throw much, and a switch was made, placing Ward at first. Al though he plays the initial sack well, he looks more at home at the hot corner. Have you lost faith in medicine? So had these men. But R. R. R. restored faith and health, too “I had ulcers and rheumatism ror 8 years,” writes Mr. Joseph Hunter ol Elk Hill, Va. "I couldn't find any medicine to give me but very little relief. I drifted along for months and months in dreadful condition till one day I happened to read in a newspaper about 8.8.8. I tried it with very little faith. But it did me so much good that I ordered three bottles: and it has done me more good than any medicine I have taken. I feel better, eat more, have less pain. I am glad I found a medicine that suits my case.” Mr. James Peterson of Ridge Springs, S. C., writes: ‘‘Nothing did me any good until I used 8.8.8. I had some sore places in my leg. And two bottles of 8.8.8. did me more good, than twenty-nine dollars worth of doctor's medicine. 8.8.8. is the greatest medicine I ever used.’’ We have hundreds of such grateful letters from people who had lost all faith in medicine until they tried 8.8.8. and were com pletely cured. Your case cannot be worse than theirs. Don't be discouraged. Go to your drug gist today and ask for 8.8.8. Your money back if it fails to help you. a- d s «• -e »JJ or 4) r- 1 A l > LQ S—J UJ C’J 0 » Q r _ «=» z « uSZ • . §s6 §o ‘— o - ae « ” jh This was absolutely all that he would say. But lie was friendly, more so than the local people had expected he would be. And he left the distinct impres sion that he intended to do noth ing at all about the contest, to sim ■ ply state that he could do nothing under the laws of the state to pre vent the contest—-and lei it go at this. He also left a similar impres sion on the people with whom he traveled here on the train. Will Consult Advisers. The feeling Is here that the gov ernor wishes again to consult Ills legal advisers 1n Santa Fe, and. as they all along have told him that he is helpless in the matter and can do nothing, the prospects look bright for the verdiet to be favor able. The governor mot with many old friends here and some of them of 30 years standing and appeared entirely cordial. At the conclusion of the session with tlie club members the gov ernor was asked point blank by two of these friends to please say yes or no and relieve the tension. "Tut! tut!” he said, playfully slapping one of them on the cheek, "tell the boys anything you like.” \nd he laughed with great good nature. These indications point Io a fa vorable report from—him. or, rath er to a non-committal attitude that will be just what the local pro moters want. The governor was a little curious to know whose money was being spent for the arena and all the ad vertising. etc., he evidently fearing that this was entirely a foreign enterprise. When assured by the business men that it was Las Ve gas coin that was being spread around he seemed to bo better sat isfied. This was a strong point with the chief executive, appar ently. Flanagan Takes Charge. "Jack Johnson is as good today as he was two years ago at Reno. "Ho doesn't have to be down to the same weight he was then to have his same speed and strength. The two years in age would make the natural difference in the weights." These wore a couple of the ideas advanced by Tom Flanagan, of To ronto. when that famous trailer and friend of Jack Johnson arrived In the city unexpectedly yesterday. Tom was a hit underdue. if there Is such a thing. He had wired he LOW ROUND-TRIP RATES To Mountain and Seashore Via SOUTHERN RAILWAY Premier Carrier of the South TEN-DAY DATES FROM ATLANTA.

THREE PROVERB CONTEST QUERIES I ANSWERED ** ** To illustrate the high standard maintalneo in our distribution, point out that all of ten S4OO pianos to be given away are of the Clex land-Mannina manufacture. The Contest Editor’s mail is heavy these days. Among the host, of orders for Answer Books, Proverb Books, and back numbers of the Proverb Pictures, there are scores of inquiries about points in the rules of the contest that are not clear in the mind of those who read them. We are glad to extend every possible help, hut there are so many of these in quiries 1 hat it is imposible to do more than group them and answer a number of them at one time. Watch the columns of The Georgian each day, therefore, if you have written ns for more light on any point. Even though you may not see your query treated individually, you will surely find the information you want. Today we take up three questions that have been asked by many during the past few days; Q. What is the meaning of the word “Panhandler'' used in the lettering that accompanies picture Number 54? A. Slang term for “Beggar.” Q. Is it necessary to have three Answer Books if I desire to submit three sets of answers? A. The Answer Book provides a means of sending in three sets of answers in one book. Three answer spaces are provided on each page. The contestant may use one of these spaces on each page for each set of answers sent in. Q. How will you prevent the throwing together of all three sets of answers in 'making the awards if all three spaces in. the Answer Book is used? A. Very easily. The answer spaces are numbered. “Eirst Answer.” “Second An swer.” and “Third Answer” are the head ings that appear over these spaces. It follows that the use of the First Answer space under each picture completes the first set of answers. And the same is true of the second and third answer spaces. Bear in mind that not more than one of these answer spaces may he used in any page unless the same number are used in all of the other pages. Inquiries are beginning to come in re garding the method of wrapping, tying and sending in solutions. Some nervous contestants are concerned lest there he danger that their solutions may be lost after they are received by us. Be assure* l that every care will he taken to safeguard these packages. Ample provision has al ready hern made anil we will do our part io prevent loss or lack ol identification. It is not too early, however, to warn con testants that they must do I heir share also. No set of solutions should he sent in without bearing, in a conspicuous place, the name and address ol the sender A moment’s retleetion will show you how necessary Ibis is. If you use the Answer Book published by Th< Georgian, you will find provision already made for this feature. Write your name and address plainly under the words “Submitted by'' that you will Hind on the front cover. If you use an Answer Book of your own make, please make the same provision for the prominent display of the name and address. Os course, you wil have plenty of time for careful reviewing, compiling and send ing in your set of answers. What has been said about the subject here is intend ed merely as a foreword. It is true that he scaled In at some thing like 200 pounds when he boxed Jeffries, but remember, please, that that was two years ago. A man two years older would nat urally be this much heavier. "He weighed for me this morning and the scales showed me 2J9 1-2; that's simply great, and all he has to take off during the next ten days Is about five pounds. Anywhere be tween 212 and 215 pounds the day of the contest will suit me to a T. Anything under that wouldn't be natural at all.
