GNJNGE LINE-UP
M3MPHIS, TENN., June 25. —After
idliig away two days and losing be
caise of rain all chances of playing the
th.’ee games set for decision the Crack
eis have some faint hopes of getting
tlrough with a double-header today.
Rain crabbed yesterday’s double
leader.
That brought a double bill over for
today. Sitton and Dessau, the Cracker
right-handers, are slated to work. They
will doubtless be opposed by Kissinger
and Merritt.
Harry Bailey was a bit off his feed
yesterday and has not yet entirely re
covered. He will hardly play today and
that will a change in line
up. Just how Manager Hemphill will
plug the gap he had not decided at an
early hour today.

Fighters Ease Up On Training Work for Few Hours of Pleasure
JOHNSON SINGS “CHICKEN;” FLYNN LEADS DANCE
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
25.—A young giant from
Texas, standing 6 feet 6
inches in height and weighing, he
said, 250 pounds, wandered into
Jack Johnson’s training camp out
in Oldtown yesterday afternoon
and announced that he was willing
to work out with the champiqn. He
had some friends with him that he
had picked up ih East Las Vegas
and to them he confided his plan of
knocking the black man’s head off
his shoulders.
He said he was kndwn to the
ring as the "Texas Kid.”
Johnson looked him over with a
critical eye, and, winking at his
trainers, announced in an aside,
but loud enough for the young
giant to hear, that he was afraid
the man from Texas might beat
him. So he must decline to meet
him, he said. But so as not to
disappoint the crowd that had come
to see the bout Johnson said he
would match one of his mates
against the Texan.
That satisfied the "Y. G.” and
Jack Skelly, the Terra Haute "man
who is in the camp, put on the
gloves with him. It only went a
couple of rounds and was a joke
affair. The Texan knows abso
lutely nothing about the game and
after being cuffed around by his
middleweight opponent he gave up
in disgust amid the derisive
cheers of the big crowd that was
watching the workout.
Johnson was back in the old rou
tine and gave the spectators a live
ly matinee of it. He boxed nine
stiff rounds in all, in addition to
the routine with the medicine ball
and the punching bag. He got up a
tremendous lather on himself be-

MAY CHOOSE IRELAND AS
KY.’S PRESIDING JUDGE
LATONIA, KY., June 25.—John T.
Ireland is the popular choice of the
patrons of racing In the Blue Grass
state for the position of presiding Judge
on all tracks in Kentucky.
Pu.blfc sentiment le going to force
the racing commission to assume the
responsibility of appointing all officials
for tracks operated under its Jurisdic
tion from now on and Mr. Ireland is in
line to succeed Charles F. Price in the
judge’s stand. It is rumoryd that the
latter will retire from his official posi
tion at the close of the Latonla season
and when racing recommences in Ken
tucky next fall Mr. Ireland will be
found In supreme control.
At present Ireland is handling the
horses of the millionaire turfman,
Frank O. Hogan, but It is stated on
good authority that he will quit the
Western turf mogul’s employment after
the Salt Tjake meeting to accept the
position of presiding Judge on all Ken
tucky tracks. Ireland is known as ths
Beau Brumtnel of the turf. His ap
pointment will meet with the unani
mous approval of the horsemen.

Johnson Shows True Form.
It was significant that at the fin
ish of his workout yesterday every
body seemed to "like” Johnson
much better than they had in the
several days previous. On the way
in all hands were remarking: “I
liked him today." In exact contra
diction to the comments of the
other days, when adverse comments
were heard.
Johnson went through seven
rounds with Marty Cutler and then
two more with Calvin Respress and
it was a strong workout.
There is little doubt that one of
Johnson’s main troubles is pure
ennui. He is so lonesome here that
he is put to sore straits to find
amusement. So the Johnson camp
has organized a minstrel company
FIGHTERS AT LAS VEGAS
PULLED USUAL STUNTS
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M., June 25.
Following the postive announcement at
Santa Fe by Gov. McDonald that there
will be no interference with the heavy
weight championship fight everybody was
in the best of spirits today and prepara
tions for the contest were expedited with
renewed vigor. *
Despite the fact that it rained nearly all
daj yesterday, Jack Johnson champion,
and Jim Flynn, challenger, played their
customary matinees. Johnson got his
pork chop money, the same as usual, en
tertaining about 700 visitors at 15 cents
per.
After fighting the bag about fifteen
minutes and tossing the medicine ball
around about the same length of time,
Jack boxed eight rounds with Martyr Gut
ter.
Flynn’s work-out ran 55 minutes' After
going through his regular course of gym
nasium stunts, the Puebloan boxed ten
rounds. Al Williams got four rounds and
Abdul, the Turk, "Chic’’ Colman and Ray
Marshall two each.

and will stage a performance at
the local opera house within a few
days.
Ab a preliminary workout John
son loaded his troupe into two big
automobiles yesterday and they
went all over town serenading
their friends. They have a pretty
good quartet and Johnson sang
“Chicken” with great effect.
There isn’t a minute being wast
ed out at the Flynn camp. There
is little doubt that Flynn will be
in the shape of his life July 4,
when he steps into the ring with
the colored gladiator.
Flynn Works Steadily.
One watching Flynn closely can
see his dally improvement in all
that will go to make him a possible
victor in the July 4 battle. He is
getting faster, his strength is enor
mous and his muscles are being
brought out in great knots now. It
looks at this stage as if Flynn
would easily weigh 190 pounds on
the day of the battle and that
every bit of It will be good, useful
flesh and bone and brawn. Jim is
good; there’s little'doubt of that,
and It certainly looks, after yester
day's workout, that Johnson will
be. too.
Those that are figuring on John
son not being at his best may be in
for a decidedly unpleasant surprise.
Many who have watched him al
ready have reached that conclu
sion. but the big black merely
smiles when asked if he oughtn't
to hurry along a little. “Two weeks
yet, and that's plenty of time,” he
always says.
And it looks as if Johnson has
timed his condition to all the nicety
born of long experience in such
things. Johnson isn’t understand
ing Flynn In the least, although his
demeanor all along has been one of
ill-concealed contempt for the rival
eight miles away. But at the same
time Johnson has put in some won
derfully good licks to get in shape
and his argument over the small
ring also shows that the world's
champion is going to concede no
points at all to the Pueblo man.
even if the latter Is the short-ender
in the betting.
Flynn Leads March.
Jim Flynn came Into the city to
lead the grand march at the fire
men’s annual ball. The armory
was packed to suffocation and even
Jim’s black rival looked on and ap
plauded the Pueblo man’s airy and
graceful tactics. Flynn Is famed
as one of the finest dancers in the
state of Colorado and is proud of it.

THERE’S NO
TIME TO
HESITATE IF
YOU WOULD
ENTER THIS
GREAT
CONTEST
We’re nearing the close of the Proverb
Contest, and it’s appropriate to urge haste
on the part of those who plan to enter,
but who have not yet supplied themselves
with the back numbers of the Proverb
Pictures, the Answer Book, or the Proverb
Guide. Every day we get inquiries from
readers who have just become interested
in this great contest and who want to
know the cost of these contest requisites.
Others send in sums of money out of all
proportion to the prices we have repeat
edly named for the books and pictures.
Action of this sort involves the contest
department in the added labor of sending
back the amount of overpayment. This
is quite an annoyance, especially at this
time, when we are kept extremely busy
filling orders. For the benefit therefore
of those contestants who want to use the
books that have proved such great aids
in the solving of the pictures and the com
pilling of the solutions, preparatory to
sending them in to this office, we reprint
their prices today:
Answer Books—Sent anywhere for sl.
Proverb Guides—2se at this office; 30c
by mail.
Back numbers of the Proverb Pictures—
-2c each.
When ordering Answer Books, keep in
mind that the book contains the first fifty
pictures of the contest. Therefore you do
not need both the Answer Book and cou
pon copies of any of the first fifty pictures.
And do not send in orders for the Answer
Book and the remaining twenty-five pic
tures of the contest. We can not send
coupon copies of the Proverb Pictures be
fore they are published.
Several letters have been received, ask
ing if it would be possible for our artist
to convey to some friend the ideas he had
in mind when drawing the pictures. Or
to sell the secret to someone for a consid
eration. It should not be necessary for us
to point out what folly it would be for a
newspaper with the standing of The Geor
gian to conduct a contest without safe
guarding the rights of all contestants, and
preventing, absolutely, any possibility of
dishonest tactics of any sort whatever.
The contest was started as a means of
arousing interest in the paper itself—to
attract people who were not. readers and
to hold the attention and interest of old
readers. It. is accomplishing this, and we
are satisfied. We have no interest in the
question of who will win the first prize or
the second or any other prize. We can
not lose sight of the fact that the success
of the paper itself depends upon the good
will and good opinion of the people who
read it and others whom we desire to at
tract to it. Qur own interests demand
that the contest he conducted on the high
est plane, and no one need entertain, for
a minute, the suspicion that any advan
tage will be afforded any contestant.
