Pueblo Fireman Has "Hope Spree” and Thinks He Has Title Won
“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 I.—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 were spotted for
weeks and weeks ago, but there are
plenty of rooms left But in the
main tli" proprietors of these, see
ing the mail] 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, a- these
specials ".ill lie parked or yarded
out in front of the town and tour
ists can find aeeoinmoda! ions in
them, most of Hu in indeed being
here but for Hu* day onlv, pulling
di 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 lhe results of the
war Mayor Ta ipvrl •Is making on
tlie gamblers of the city, most of
wh'*m have saloon interests. A
short time ago the mayor, a might,
( lever young m in, made a promise
to Governor McDonald that he
would see that there was no gam
bling her, during the festival pe
riod and lie has since reiterated
that he meant every "ord of it. A
few days ago word went out to
cease all card play ing and -the hint
was taken, all games dosing. Nat
urally the local people who have
i-mi i ibulc'l liberally to the fund to
bring the big battle here are near
sighted when it comes to a policy
■ f that sort. But tlv- mayor is
adamant and declines to relent.
Saloons War on Mayor.
The* saloon dement has bad sev
eral meltings and this method of
reialialion was adopted, 'tis said.
One saloon man allowed yesterday
that beer could not be sold with
profit here at 5 cents the goblet.

as they were forced to pay sll for
the amber by the barrel. He says
the price should have been raised
long ago to conform with prices in
other Western cities. The lager 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 chap 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 explained his feeling by the
saying that anticipation of becom
ing a world's champ within a week
gave him a sensation of elation that
was thoroughly’ intoxicating—only
Jim's words were to the effect
merely.
New Spree For "Hopes."
J’m was having an advance
championship spree in all truth.
He's about as 'cheerful right now
as if rhe title really was in his
grasp.
Funny how fine condition sets an
athlete’s drcams running into the.
i hannels of greatness. This Infec
tious confidence of the former fire
man is on» of the strange things
of this campaign here In Las Ve
gas. Flynn, in his heart, believes
he Is a man of destiny. Hc'a 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 back to Pueblo right after
the contest to see. his dear old
mot her.
Flynn doesn’t know and doesn't
care how he wins the battle —he Is
simply obsr-sed w itli the idea that
lie must win and that he conse
quently will win it. Jim says he
will 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

getting by the fact of Flynn's su
perlative confidence. If Flynn wins,
he will become the possessor of the
foreign touring car that Jack Cur
ley, his manager, is running at the
present time
This became known today when
the local express agent yvas 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, buk that if
Flynn wins the car undoubtedly
will he chipped to Pueblo as Flynte's
property.
Lick Johnson—Get a Car.
“Yes: I promised him the car 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,
he won’t want anything much from
anybody 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 troublesome picture question
In sight. It appears that the trust
people are not taking any stock in
the matter, each and every 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.
ith tnat much off his mind, the
contest-an assured fact for Thurs
day and Jim Flynn in excellent
shape for the fray , t’urley "as in a
cheerful state of mind last night.
There will be a good preliminary
match here on Wednesday night.
It was arranged for yesterday aft
ernoon and will take place either
In tlie championship arena or in the
opera house downtown. The con
testants will he Rudy Unhoiz, the
little German lightweight from
Denver, and the winner of the
Louis Newman-Stanley_ Yoakum
battle at Albuquerque. N. M.. to
night. The contest is to be twenty
rounds and probably at 135 pounds,
although Unhoiz says he doesn't
care what the figure is, as ha
knows both men and believes that
neither of them is much heavier
than he is.
Johnson Blinds Trainer,
There is trouble in the Johnson
vamp. All of the champion’s spar
ring partners are laid away for
repairs and the big fellow Is at his
wits’ end to know what to do in
the emergency
Jack put the last good one out of
business yesterday afternoon in tlie
very first round of ills workout. He
hit Calvin Respress, the Rastus of
the camp and one of its leading
comedians, so hard between the
eyes that the poor fellow was
Winded and didn't recover his eye
sight for about a half hour.

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 1 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 be per
mitted
This quotation might have been taken
from any of a number of letters that
reach us daily. And because there seems
to be so much need for light on this point
we 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 we first printed it:
“For 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
fied with. Then fill in space No. 2 under
all of the other pictures except No. 15
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 PICTURE
without submitting the same number of
solutions for AT J* OF THE OTHER PIC
TURES. And each set of solutions will
be- judged separately when the awards
are made. This is true whether yon use

of your own making "
