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.

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?’ ” HUB TEAM GETS SHORTSTOP.
