Six Peachtree Stree* * BMn 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. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Mobile iii Atlanta. Ikince DeLeon. Game called ai I o’clock.

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.

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.

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 the Answer Rook published by us or one of your own making " S. M. H., and others.
