Wumjii tssg-IQMKiG gfcr. FLYNN HAS FOUR REASONSFORMN , By Ed W. Smith. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M.. June 26.- > Jim 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 I 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 es the Johnson method of milling. 4. I'm fit now to go ino -ounds at any clip 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- here relative to the result of 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 tn at all,” said Flynn. "For the sake of making my victory all the more pronounced and clean cut. I'm hoping that 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 26.—Harry Ables, former Southern and American league twirler. 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.

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-notch ers, to Atlanta a few months ago, and. under the name of Kid Morrill, fought at the Gate City elub. He only fought for the fun of it, but it only goes to show how easy it was for him to pull the wooi 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, Pankey McFar land, Willie Ritchie, Johnny Kii 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 Kinds 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 Chlpp. Here Is the tale: ”1 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 be 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 1 was there I alwavs bought my ticket and 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. “I 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 he glad to get a chanee to show myself ’ ” ” ‘Who did you ever box?’ ” was the first query fired at me. “ ’and how many times have you won?' ” ’Well. str. 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 I live they think I am pretty good 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 ray 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 “I was Kid Morrill and was so intro duced I got a good hand, but Larry got a better one He had fought there and won several battles One spectator said, It's a pity 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 almost had to drag me out of my chair Every one gave 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 T won't let you get hurt, yourtg fellow Just as soon as It looks bad for you. 1 will slop the bout so you won't be disfigured.' I said. ’Thank you. sir. but I guess that I will be all right We shook hands again, and Rian led for me. I pushed his lead aside and ho clinched me He swung at me after the break I took the blow on the forehead. Then I gently poked my left agamst his face, held it there Just long enough to 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, ‘Kid 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 ail 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 seat 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 Lairy 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 mavbe I will fight under my real name there, but 11l het if I ever visit that place again the greeting will be. 'How are you. Kid Morrill?’ ” HUB TEAM GETS SHORTSTOP. BOSTON. June 26. —Shortstop Ma ranville, of the New Bedford club of the New England league, has been pur chased by the Boston Nationals.

Whit ney did not try to do much fighting, in asmuch as he was jobbed on the weight. He only fought enough to secure his guarantee, and at no time |et himself out. Many thought Kelly should have been given the decision, and the ref eree’s award was roundly hissed. Matchmaker Brownfield promised Whitney that Kelly would make 135 pounds. Kelly came into the ring weighing fully a dozen pounds more. He denied that he had pledged himself ■tn make weight, and displayed a tele gram from the matchmaker saying that the bout would be at catch weights. Whitney could have gotten out of the fight, but rather than disappoint the few fans he went on. In the semi-windup Spider Britt had an easy time with Young Raymond. Only poor matchmaking brought these boys together. It was a case of more bad matchmaking when Eddie Hanlon was pitted against Johnny Rogers, for Hanlon had a walkover. Two colored boxers. Hinkydu and Phillips, fought a rattling draw in the opener. Baseball THURSDAY ATLANTA vs. CHATTANOOGA Ponce DeLeon—Game Called 4:00 7
