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. e . - Buying Trusses BUYING a truss is easy enough ! but deserves a little thought. Rupture is too serious to leave to guesswork.

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.

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.

It was strictly an executive ses sion and lasted for the better part of two hours. At the conclusion the governor had said little or nothing, pro or con. and when the session was over the hundreds waiting below to learn the verdict could be told nothing. "Gentlemen, I wish to say noth ing at all at this time." was the governor’s final remark, "but I w ill make this promise .to you.

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. - - , ~ss . s = *Wf Z 1 s •/ —» co > y ea U 3 S iie -in s 3‘ills $ - ° ? 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 LOW ROUND-TRIP RATES To Mountain and Seashore Via SOUTHERN RAILWAY Premier Carrier of the South TEN-DAY DATES FROM ATLANTA.

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.

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 has taken a much longer time at it. "Those figures that I am giving you are absolutely correct.” 5
