BAILEY NOW ILL; CMEMLL 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- SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUw. Standing of the Clubs W L. P.C. W. L.

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. | i * MANENT CVJBE, 'i of the most obstinate cases guaranteed in from ' 3 to 6 days ; no other treatment required. 1 ( Sold by al) druercists.

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.

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.
