FLYNN CHITTY
IN 1307 FIGHT
WITH JOHNSON
By AV. AV. 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 I.as 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 from his training camp every
few days. From the fact that he
continues to shake his horny fist
at the fireman. Jack is laying him
self open to the suspicion that he is
not as consummately confident
about the July scrap as he pre
tends to be.
One thing is 'certain, however.
If Jack is bent upon intimidating
Flynn, his efforts will fall flat, for
Flynn is a fellow whose courage is
undaunted. Pity it is that his
other fighting qualifications are
not on a par with his grit. If they
were, he would permit some of us
to think more kindly of his
chances.
For w eal or woe. Jim will surely
battle like a tiger when he goes
* against the champion. And even if
he succeeds no better than he did
when he faced the big colored man
in San Francisco in November,
1907, he will command the respect
of the spectators. For a tribute
of praise is never withheld from
the ring man who puts 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 are refreshing their
memories in connection with that
last eleven-round bout between
Johnson and Flynn. They recall
that Flynn tried to fight close from
the first smash of the gong and
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. All the big
negro had to do was to set himself
to meet Flynn's rush, and the un
fortunate fireman kept hurling
himself on the spears.
Friends 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:
“Come on, Flynn; they're tell
ing you to.”
Flynn took' a fearful whaling
that day and took it like a Spar
tan. Fie was bruised and bat
tered, hut full of fighting spirit
clear to the finish.
Toward the end of the tenth
round—the last 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. Flynn
bumped into the uppercut which
brought him face downward to the
floor He was game to the last
ditch.
It is to wonder if that affair car
ried any lesson for Flynn. Will he
go at the stalwart negro in the
same fashion and run the risk of
impaling himself upon the same old
hooks and uppercuts or will be
dance around and insist upon John
son making the pace. •
And in this connection it can
truthfully be said that Johnson’s
biggest successes —more particular
ly when opposed to shorter men
than himself—have been achieved
by taunting the other man into
doing the rushing. Johnson’s long
suit is taking care of the lads who
tear after him.

Chief Executive, After Conference, Says He Will Issue Statement Tonight
TITLE BATTLE IS SAFE; GOVERNOR DROPS HINT
By Ed. AV. Smith.
(The Georgian’s fight expert, who
has been selected to refere the
Johnson - Flynn battle.)
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M., June
24: —The governor of the new
state of New Mexico hasn’t
made up his mind yet about tne
Johnson-Flynn championship con
test set for this place July 4.
Here last night Governor Wil
liam R. McDonald told a commit
tee of the business men of Las
Vegas that he would issue a posi
tive statement regarding the con
test not later than this evening.
By that time he probably will be
in the state capital at Santa Fe.
from which point the statement
probably will come.
The governor arrived in the city
Saturday night and was met at
once by a committee of the promi
nent citizens of the town. He was

UNITED STATES LEAGUE
HAS PLAYED LAST GAME
PITTSBURG, June 24.—The last
game in the United States league—for
this season at least—was played yes
terday at Chicago by the two teams,
Pittsburg and Chicago, which, it had
been hoped, would form the nucleus of
a reorganized league
Word was received here today that |
President Marshall Henderson had a I
fruitless conference in Chicago with |
Otto Steifel, the St. Louis brewer, who, 1
it had been announced, stood ready to
back teams in St. Louis and Indian
apolis. and in either Milwaukee or Kan
sas City, if necessary.
Seifel will not back any teams in the
league this season, and thus the last
hopes are gone glimmering. John Pow
ers, who was backing the Columbian
league find interested in the United
States league, will have plans com
pleted by next September. It is under
stood, for the launching of the league
next spring. The Pittsburg team, now
in Chicago, will play a series of exhi
bition games there this week and then
return, presumably to disband.
SALLY LEAGUE FIRST HALF
’ CLOSES ON WEDNESDAY’
The first half of the South Atlantic
league will be brought to a close on I
Wednesday, and the second half will
commence the following dav.
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
they 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.

could be told nothing.
"Gentlemen, I wish to say noth

Have you lost faith
in medicine?
So had these men. But 8.8.8. restored
faith and health, too
I “I had ulcers and rheumatism tor
8 years,” writes Mr. Joseph Hunter ol
■ Elk Hill, Va. ”1 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 rood
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
I 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.

This was absolutely all that he
would say.
But he was friendly, more so than
the local people had expected he
would be.
Ahd 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 let 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 his
legal advisers In Santa Fe, and. as
they all along have told him that
he is helpless In the matter and
ran do nothing, the prospects look
bright for the verdict to be favor
able. The governor met with many
old friends here and some of them
of 30 years standing and appeared
entirely cordial.
At the conclusion of the session
with the 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."
And he laughed with great good
nature.
These indications point to 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 be better sat
isfied. This was a strong point
with the chief executive, appar
Flanagan Takes Charge.
"Jack Johnson is as good today
as he was two years ago at Reno.
"He 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 were a couple of the ideas
advanced by Tom Flanagan, of To
ronto, when that famous trainer
and friend of Jack Johnson arrived
in the city unexpectedly yesterday.
Tom was a bit underdue, if there is
such a thing. He had wired he

THREE
PROVERB
CONTEST
QUERIES
ANSWERED
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 that 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 us 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 "or “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. “First 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 be 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 be
danger that their solutions may be lost
after they are received by us. Be assured
that every care will be taken to safeguard
these packages. Ample provision has al
ready been made and we will do our part
to prevent loss or lack of identification.
It is not too early, however, to warn con
testants that they must do their share
also. No set of solutions should be sent
in without bearing, in a conspicuous place,
the name and address of the sender A
moment's reflection will show you how
necessary this is. If you use the Answer
Book published by The Georgian, you
will find provision already made for this
feature. Write your name and address
plainly under the words “Submitted by”
that you will fiind 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 219 1-2;
that's simply great, and all he has
to take nff 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.

ifornia before the Jeffries contest
he was weighing 232 pounds and
w hen we landed in Reno about two
weeks before the battle he weighed
just what he does today—2l9
pounds. And we took that nine- .
teen <>r twenty pounds off —for he
was down to below 199 at one time
—in about ten days. He hat
trained differently and perhaps
much better this time, because he
