FLYNN HAS FOUR
REASDNSFORWIN
By Ed W. Smith.
EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M„ June 26,
.Tim Flynn came into the city last
evening for a look about and to shake
hands with some friends who arrived
during the day to remain for the con
test next week with Jack Johnson
During one of the lapses in the con
versational fire that besieged the Pu
eblo man 1 asked him why he felt so
confident of whipping the champion.
Without any hesitancy. Flynn reeled
off four reasons that he figured to be
very good ones. He is betting heavily
on each of them. Here they are. tabu
lated in the order he doled them'out:
1. I’m bigger and stronger and faster
than ever before.
• 2. I know how to hit straight now;
didn't before.
3. I will make Johnson come to me,
fighting cautiously and thus neutraliz
ing the Johnson method of milling.
4. I’m fit now to go 100 rounds at any
dip he may fancy.
Thus you will notice perhaps that
Flynn didn't include to me the much
mooted question of his opponent’s con
dition. Generally it is inserted in con
versation here relative to the result ol
the battle thus: "If Johnson is in the
shape he was at Reno," etc. The same
"if" boding ill for Flynn.
"As a matter of fact, I'm not figuring
on what condition he is in at all.” said
Flynn. "For the sake of making my
victory all the more pronounced and
clean cut, I'm hoping he. won’t
have any excuses on the matter of
condition But good or not, I feel that
I can trim him this time.”
ABLES BADLY HURT IN
FIST FIGHT WITH FAN
SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.—Harry
Ables, former Southern and American
league twlrler, now with the coast league,
seems to have sustained more serious in
juries than was reported after his fight
with a fan here two weeks ago. One of
his eyes is injured and his sight is en
dangered. He will not be able to work
again for some time. His idleness means
a big handicap for the Oaks.

HOLDFIGHTGLUB
FOR VIOLATION OF
LOME LAWS
City-officials today took action to pro
tect Atlanta fight fans from the peril of
fire when Fire Inspector Otis made a case
against the Gate City Athletic club, 36
James street, for violation of the fire laws
by conducting' fights in a building occu
pied hy automobile garages. Henry Nor
ton, owner .of the club, was served with a
copy of charges citing him to appear be
fore Recorder Broyles this afternoon.
Agents of two automobile concerns were
cited to appear at the same time, as they
are involved by the technical terms of the
law. The fight of the city, however, is di
rected against the athletic club on the
ground that lives are endangered every
time a fight is pulled off in the James
street building, by reason of the two
garages in the same building.
The court action today is based direct
ly op the Kelly-Whitney bout in the Gate
City club, last night. Inspector Otis at
tended the fight, thoroughly investigated
the perilous situation and determined to
appeal at once to the courts for relief.
The inspector held a conference with
City Attorney Mayson, and the latter
ruled that the fight was held in clear vio
lation of law. The city attorney will be
present and prosecute the case this after
noon.
The matter of fire protection for fight
fans has been agitated for several weeks.
The club owners would have been haled
into court on the occasion of the last
fight had it not been for what the of
ficials term "a clever move to evade the
law."
On the day prior to that fight. W. H.
George, lessee of the building, and who
sub-leases it, is said, to have signed pa
pers releasing the two automobile con
cerns from their lease In order that they
might move out and thus prevent a viola
tion of law. The two concerns did get
out, and the fight proceeded, with no law
being violated.
It was generally supposed that the
building would no longer be occupied as a
garage, arfd the situation was regarded
as relieved. But.. according to officials,
the removal of the garages was but tem
porary. They came hack. They are said
to have failed to move out for last night s
bout, and hence the police court cases.
When the case was made today. Nor
ton told Inspector Otis he was willing to
move his club if he was violating the
law. The inspector informed him he w’as
too late, claiming he would have to make
his proposition to the court.

By W. S. Farnsworth.
THE promoters of a fight club
must know their business. If
they don’t, the fans are go
ing to suffer. The promoters of
the Gate City club do not know
how to run their club. They don’t
know fighters when they see one.
• Any colored fighter could come,
here, pose as Jack Johnson and un
doubtedly get away with it.
Buck Crouse, a near-champion,
who has fought all the top-notrNi
ers, came to Atlanta a few months
ago. and, under the name of Kid
Morrill, fought at the Gate City
club. He only fought for the fun
of it, but It only goes to show how
easy it was for him to pull the wool
over the eyes of the Gate City pro
moters.
The promoters didn't know a
near-champion, so what chance
would they have if Leach Cross,
Knockout Brown, Packey McFar
land, Willie Ritchie, Johnny Kil
bane or any of the other top
notchers were represented here by
fakers? None at all!
And in being bunked themselves
they in turn are bunking their pa
trons.
The following story’ from a Buf
falo paper well explains how Buck
Crouse made boobs out of the Gate
City promoters:
BUCK CROUSE TOOK A
CHANCE IN ATLANTA.
Paid $2 for a Seat at a Boxing Show and
Then Went on and Knocked Out the
Brooklyn Twin In One Minute.
Received $7.50 and All Kindi
of Praise.
Boston. June 21.—Buck Crouse enter
tained a bunch of fans yesterday with a
corking good story of a trip through the
South a few months ago. .Buck went
South to take a rest after his first bout
with George Chipp. Here is the tale:
"I was stale from overwork." said the
Pittsburg boy, "and I knew that I had to
do something or some of those aspiring
middleweights would wreck me If I con
tinued boxing.
“On the suggestion of my manager,
Jimmy’ Mason. I decided that a trip to the
land of Dixie would he just the proper
caper. Neither Mason nor myself said
anything to any one about going away, so
I scampered out of town quietly. In the
South I traveled under the name of Mor
rill and no one knew me. I saw several
bouts down there, but the club managers
and boxers had no idea I was there. I
always bought my ticket lyid never asked
if they recognized a member of the ‘pro
fesh.’
"I had been taking things easy for
about two weeks and felt pretty good. I
heard that a show was advertised for At
lanta. so I decided to quit the town where
I had been stopping and go to the battle.
Boarding a train I went to Atlanta, ar
riving there an hour after, feeling jubi
lant and anxious to take a hand in the
festivities.
"Going to one of the prominent hotels in
Atlanta I mixed with some fight fans who
had no idea that Buck Crouse was any
where south of Pittsburg. During the con
versation I learned that one of the pre
liminary boys was in no condition to go
on. I made up my mind then to offer my
services. Battling Larry Ryan, of Brook
lyn. was the name of the fellow who was
on the slate to fight me if I got the job.
I paid for my’ ticket as usual and went In.
”1 eagerly sought the manager. After
some little search and then a rebuff. I at
last got permission to enter his sanctum.
I told him my’ mission
" ‘Mr. Manager.' " said I. ” Informa
tion has reached me that you need a sub
stitute this evening and I thought that I
would offer my services; I can box a lit
tle and I shall be glad to get a chance to
show myself.' "
“ 'Who did you ever box?' ” was the
first query fired at me. “ 'and how many
times have you won'” '*
" ‘Well. sir. I haven't fought many bat
tles. but I have taken part In several ex
hibitions and I think I can box pretty
well. Over where 1 live they think I am
pretty gnod If they hear that I got a
chance here tonight a few hundred of
them will come over the next time I box.'
said I in reply
"This evidently appealed to the mana
ger from a business standpoint, for he
came back quickly and told me to get my
togs and meet Battling Larry Ryan I
didn't have any togs and I had no Idea
where I could get them at short notice,
but one of the attendants, eager to get
the show under way, provided a pair of
well-worn tights and a pair of sneakers
for me. Nothing had been said about
what I was to get for my trouble. I
didn't dare ask. lest the clubman get wise
I also had a few pangs of pain pass
through my mind for 'fear of discovery
and that Larry Ryan, my opponent, or
some other individual in the crowd would
know me.
”1 was Kid Morrill and was so Intro
duced. 1 got a good hand, but Larry
got a better one. He had fought there
and won several battles. One spectator
said, It's a (11 ty to put a nice young fel
low In there with that experienced boxer.'
Another said this kid will learn a lesson
tonight and forget all about the manly
art. It went on that way all around.
Every one seemed to have a lot of sym
pathy for me
"In my corner I sat shivering, and
when called to the center they 'almSst
had to drag me oOt of my chair. Every
one gave Larry the battle It won't last
a minute: It can't go a round; that kid Is
frightened to death now and kindred re
marks were heard. I listened to the In
structions of the referee, and as I re
turned to my corner he walked over near
me and said I won't let you get hurt,
young fellow Just, as soon as it. looks
bad for you, I will stop the bout so you
won't be disfigured ' I said, Thank you,
sir. hut I guess that I will be all right
We shook hands again, and Ryan led for
me I pushed his lead aside and he
clinched me He swung at me after the
break. I took the blow on the forehead.
Then I gently poked my Ifft against his
---• belli it there, itmt lone enoueh t>.
place him. then shot my right to the. jaw
It- landed right, and Battling Larry Ryan
sank to the floor with that careless aban
don of a man deprived of his senses. The
referee looked at me, then began his
count, and gave Ryan all that was al
lowed. pointed to me and shouted, 'Kill
Morrill wins.' took another peek at me
to ascertain if he had been right, and
then shouted for the next preliminary.
The bout lasted just one minute and four
teen seconds.
"I got the hand of my life that night.
Every one was on his toes looking at the
novice that whipped Battling Larry Ryan,
the Brooklyn terror. The manager met
me at the door of his office, grasped my
hand and wanted to match me with some
one for the next show. He said, 'You’re
all right, kid; you'll make good some day.’
"I took the $7.50 he handed me, smiled,
moved on, divested‘myself of my bor
rowed suit, dressed up and took my sea.t
that I paid two bucks for and sat at the
ringside to the finish of the show $5.50 to
the good.
"I was the hero of the hour. Every
one wanted to grasp the hand of Kid Mor
rill. I don't know’ whether Battling Larry
ever discovered my identity, but I slipped
out of town without tipping any one off
that Buck Crouse and Kid Morrill are
Identical.
“Some day I shall take a trip to Atlanta
and maybe I will fight under my real
name there, but I'll het If I ever visit
that place again the greeting will be,
'How are you, Kid Morrill?’ ”
