“I CAN’T SEE HOW I’LL LOSE”—JIM FLYNN
By Ed W. Smith.
(The Georgian's fight expert, who
has been selected to referee the
Johnson-Flynn battle.)
East las vegas. n. m..
July 1. —They're tilting the
prices up high’n a cat's back
here in the "meadow cities.
The boomtime schedule arrived
with a rush yesterday amid the
general festooning and draping of
the town in the national colors.
'Twas a dull day in a fighting
sense, for Jimmy Flynn was busy
only with entertaining a party of
friends at dinner and Johnson
didn’t do much in the entertaining
way, but the natives and those who
are merely standing around wait
ing for the day of the big clash
to roll around had something, to
gossip about every time they saun
tered into a gargling parlor.
Over every cash register in town
appears this legend:
"Beer 10 cents per glass."
And the signs are all alike, trust
painted, it might be said, in heavy
black lettering, so that no eye so
dull or astigmatic may miss the in
formation.
The flagons of lager are being
dished out just as frequently, it
may be said, and perhaps relished
just a little bit more, but there
is a lot of kicking Just the same
And the prices of rooms are said to
be kiting in much the same ratio.
High Rent For Rooms.
Most of the good accommoda
tions in the town w-ere spotted for
weeks and weeks ago. but there, are
plenty of rooms left. But in the
main the proprietors of these, see
ing the main chance, decline to let
them out excepting on a basis of
a week’s rental. This will scarce
ly affect the regulars, who are com
ing here on special trains, as these
specials will be parked or yarded
out Ln front of the town and tour
ists can find accommodations in
them, most of them indeed being
here but for tile day only, pulitng
In in the morning and leaving’ al
most immediately after the con
test.
The tilt in the price of beer is
said to be one of the results of the
war Mayor Taupert is making on
the gamblers of the city, most of
whom have saloon interests. A
short time ago the mayor, a mighty
clever young man, made a promise
to Governor McDonald that he
would see that there was no gam
bling here during the festival pe*
riod and he has since reiterated
that he meant every word of it. A
few days ago word went out to
cease all card playing and the hint
was taken, all games closing. Nat
urally the local people wlto have
contributed liberally to the fund to
bring the big battle here are near
sighted it comes to a policy
of that sort. But the mayor is
adamant and declines to relent.
Saloons War on Mayor.
The saloon element has had sev
eral meetings and this method of
retaliation was adopted, ’tis said.
One saloon man allowed yesterday
that beer could not be sold with
profit here at* 5 cents the goblet,

Lange has been sprinting in good time

as they were forced to pay sll for

the price- should have been raised
long ago to conform with prices in
other Western cities. The lagei by

The Flynn citap did not do any
thing but the entertain act at his
Montezuma camp yesterday. He
had a bunch of friends out for a
dinner that was served up In Chef
Chic Coleman’s own inimitable
style.
Flynn was feeling as coltish as if
he didn’t have a care in the world,
and explainee his feeling by say
ing that the anticipation of becom
ing a world’s champ within a week
gave him a sensation of elation that
was thoroughly Intoxicating—only
Jim's w’ords were to the effect
merely.
New Spree For “Hopes,”
Jim was having an advance
championship spree in all truth.
He’s about as 'cheerful right now
as if the title really were in his
grasp.
Funny how fine condition sets an
athlete’s dreams running into the
channels of greatness. This infec
tious confidence of the former fire
man is one of the strange things
of this campaign here in Las Ve
gas. Flynn, in his heart, believes
he Is a nutn of destiny. He's just
as sure of whipping Johnson, bet
ting odds and the majority of the
critics’ ' opinions to the contrary
notwithstanding. as he is that he
will go bick to Pueblo right after
the contest to see his dear old
mother.
Flynn doesn’t know and doesn't
care how he wins the battle—he is.
simply obsessed With the Idea that
he must win and' that he conse
quently will win it. Jim says he
w'ill win by tiring the negro’ out;
then again he answers questions as
to his plan of battle by saying that
he will be guided by what. : the
champ does, but that it doesn’t
matter in the least what Jack does
-the result will ultimately be the
same.
And there you are. There’s no
AMERICAN ATHLETES GO

STOCKHOLM, July I.—The American
athletes who- have come here to compete
in the Olympic games got their first work
out today on Swedish spil. They were
taken to the park at Rasunda. a suburb,
where there is a good field and track.
They worked under the. eagle eye of

Trainer Murphy has decided tiiat the
men shall live on shipboard. The only
other foreign team having Quarters on a
ship is the Russian contingent.
James E. Sullivan. United States com
missioner to the games, after examining
the track where the games are to be
held, said that it was one of the . best
he had ever seen.
Complaint was made today by some of
the athletes who are suffering from the
heat. Ralph Rose. I’at McDonald, Mike
McGrath and 3. P. Gillis are among those
having Inside state rooms on the Finland,
and they say that they are being dis
tressed by the closeness of their quarters.
The marathoners worked today at Lang
borg. five miles from the city.
WILL PLAY MORNING AND
AFTERNOON OF JULY 4TH
Atlanta, as usual, will have a morning
and afternoon game at Ponccy Park on

Many things will draw the fans oirt to

particular will be the hope of seeing Har

their former teammates Kid Elberfeld,
the former Senator, will also come here

getting by the fact of Flynn's su
perlative confidence. If Flynn wins,
he will become the possessor of the
foreign touring rar that Jack Cur
ley. his manager, is running at the
present time.
This became known today when
the local express agent was making
arrangements to ship a number of
automobiles back to Chicago and
Kansas City after the contest is
over. Curley told the agent if
"Flynn is beaten the Benz car will
go back to Chicago, but that if
Flynn wins the car undoubtedly
w ill hr "shipped to Pueblo as Flynn -
property.
Lick Johnson —Get a Car.
"Yes; I promised him the tar a
long time ago if he would win this
contest, •’’■ Curley said. "Indeed, if
he wins’he .can have most anything
else I've got. But. then, if he Wins,
htvwon’t want anything much from
afiy’body in the ..world. He'll have
an -independent fortune in sight.”
.Manager Curley was feeling a
whole lot better today than he has
been because there is a settlement
of the troublt some picture question
In sight. It appears’ that the trust
people are not taking any stock in
the matter, each one of
the firms approached on the ques
tion having given different excuses
for not taking them.
Now it is probable that a New
York firm of Independent dealers
will have its machines here for the
contest and take as many feet of
film as Curley may dictate.
With tnat much off his mind, the
contest an assured fact for Thurs
day and Jim Flynn In excellent
shape for the fray, Curley was in a
cheerful state of mind last night.
There will be a good preliminary
march hero on Wednesday night.
It was arranged for yesterday aft
ernoon and will'take place either
in the. championship arena or tn the
opera house downtown. The con
testants will he Rudy L’nholz, the
little German, lightweight from

night. The contest is to be twenty
rounds and probably at 135 pounds,
although Uftholz says he doesn't

knows both men and believes that
neither of them is much heavier
than he is.

Days of
Proverb
Contest
As The Georgian's great Proverb Con
test draws to a close the great interest it
has aroused becomes more and more evi
dent. We are besieged with questions
about points that we have discussed in
these columns over and over. Individual
attention to these queries is impossible
now and we urge you to read the rules of
the contest and be guided by them in the
event that answers to your particular
queries do not appear. “A. B. C.” writes
us: “Do I understand rightly, that if 1
wish to submit (using Answer Book) two
or three answers to some of the pictures
say half of them—-and only one an
swer to the other half, this will he per
mitted ?’’
This quotation might have been taken
from any of a number of letters that
reach us daily. And because there seems
to bo so much need for light on this point
wo reprint today, for the third time, a
paragraph that we had expected to set
tle the matter clearly in the minds of all
contestants when wo first printed it:
“ l''or example: If you wish to submit
two answers for picture No. 15, but you
are satisfied that your solutions for all
of the other pictures are correct, fill in
space No. 2 under picture No. 15 with
the second solution, after having filled
in space No 1 under each of the other
pictures with the solutions you are satis
tied with. Then fill in space No. 2 under
all of the other pictures except No. ].’t
with duplicates of the answers you have
already written in space No. 1 This
condition can not be more clearly stated,
we think, than to repeat what we have
printed so many times in our announce
ments: You can not submit more than
one solution for ANY ONE BK'TLRE
without submitting the same number of
solutions for ALL <»!■' THE OTHER PIC
TI’RES. And each set of solutions will
be judged separately when th< awards
are made. This is true whether you use
