(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, YANKEES WIN CLAYBIRD SHOOT AT STOCKHOLM STOCKHOLM. July I.—Bv winning the claybird shooting contest here to day, the Americans added another vic tory to their list. The Americans won the gold medal with a score of 532 out of a possible 600.

HALF THE RHODES MEN WILL GO TO OLYMPICS LONDON. July L—At least half of the Rhodes scholars at Oxford will journey to Stockholm for the Olympic games. Lange, of Oklahoma, and Zeig ler. of lowa, have been in active train ing and they may appear at Stockholm as members of the American team. Lange has been sprinting in good time lately and he hopes to regain his old form in the high jump. Zeigler is easi ly the superior of any of the English college weight men. and he may proven valuable second-string man for the American team. AMERICAN LEAGUE. Games Today. 1 'hieago in St. Louis.

He says the price- should have been raised long ago to conform with prices in other Western cities. The lagei by the bottle is 20 per shot, but the usual jolt of ..red-eye can be ob tained in large or small quantities at the usual two for two bits. 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 TO WORK AT STOCKHOLM 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 Mike Murphy; who is keeping strict watch on ills charges: ■ AU the men are in gooo dcondiliOn. Tlte climate here is similar to that of New York The thermometer is stand ing between 90 and 95 and the -air Is slightly humid. 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 July Fourth. Many things will draw the fans oirt to Ponce DeLeon on the Fourth, but one- in particular will be the hope of seeing Har old Johns or Piggy Paige in action against their former teammates Kid Elberfeld, the former Senator, will also come here with Manager Dobbs' vrew The morning game will be started a' in o'clock, while the afternoon affair wil 1 be started at the usual time, I o'clock. OUTSIDER WINS RICH GRAND PRIX DE PARIS PARIS.

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 Denver, and the winner of the Louis New man-Stanley Yoakum battle at Albuquerque. N. M.. to night. The contest is to be twenty rounds and probably at 135 pounds, although Uftholz says he doesn't care . what the figure is. as he knows both men and believes that neither of them is much heavier than he is.
