H. whiting W'wXaughtck tad, (GOJLT -• ' w MW Battling Nelson in Come-Back Stunt; He Writes His Own Story By Battling Nelson. WINNIPEG. MAN.. July 2.—At the auditorium rink last night Andy Be zenah and myself boxed twelve rat tling rounds before a good crowd. No decision was given. The thermometer was flirting with the century mark and only for the scorching weather we would have turned the Canadians away, as they were worked up to fever heat over our bout. The fight was so good that the crowd was standing on the chairs duiing the last two rounds, yelling for more. I fee! that I had a shade, but not a de cided one. The club is talking of re matching us for exhibition week—two weeks hence. This was the first tryout I gave my hands since I broke them boxing Sam my Trott March 1 at Dayton, Ohio. They stood up first rate. Canadian rules of “clean breaks” were bad for both of us. but rules are rules and must be obeyed.

Flynn Lets Up Work and Rests for Big Battle Challenger Tells 2,000 Persons He Will 'Win By Ed TV. Smith. (The Georgian’s fight expert, who has been selected to referee the Johnson-Flynn battle.) LAS VEGAS, N. M.. July 2. “This will be the last box ing I will do until the after noon of July 4, and I want every body to know that I am ready for this battle and in better shape than ever before. Further, I'm going to win. for I feel It In my bones, but if I should be unfortunate enough, to be beaten you can bet I will be tearing in and not going away when it happens.” With these words addressed to the mob of at least 2.000 persons at Montezuma yesterday afternoon, Jim Flynn closed his boxing work and practically his entire training for the Johnson battle of Thurs day afternoon The applause was deafening at the close. There were so many people at Flynn's beautiful place that they were walking on each others' heels. At least 60 per cent of the throng made up of women. Referee to Meet Fighters. The final formality in the Flynn- Johnson match will take place to night when the referee will meet both principals and discuss the rules with them. When this little powwow ha 3 been gone through with, there will not be anything left for the men to do but get into the ring and start the big battle. There will not be the slightest hitch over my interpretation of the Queensberry rode as far as is ap parent on the surface. It is barely possible that the ever technical champion may find some fault somewhere and demand that he have his way on this point or that one, but this is a remote possibili ty. The fighters have to do the fight ing and they will do the way they agree in advance. But of this you may be sure: The men will protect themselves at all times, going into or going out of clinches, and will not be consid ered clinched until both fighters are unable to hit with either arm. Then they will break upon com mand, but always stepping back on guard and prepared to protect themselves. Inasmuch as both of the men know pretty well how to fight, there will be no special Instructions nec essary on. either side, There will, however, be a. strong warning about holding and hitting, heeling. gouging, elbowing and a foul use of the knee —all of which will be considered foul. The man scoring a knockdown "ill be expected to retire to a far side of the ring and give his fallen opponent plenty of opportunity to arise before stepping in again. Lots of Police Protection. Captain Fred Fornoff of the state mounted police this afternoon col laborated with Captain Williams of the Santa Fe secret service and the local police officials regarding the policing of the arena Thursday aft ernoon and a conclusion was quick ly reached. The sheriff of San Mi guel county also will be asked to take part, although he was not present this afternoon. In all there will be 100 regular officers of the law inside and on the outside of the arena during the progress of the contest. Fornoff's regular men will num ber but twenty, but they are among the best In the state and will he stationed immediately around the ring in order that the fighters and the referee may have the best of protection. There will be a stalwart state of ficer in each corner of the ring and the remainder will be stationed in boxing seats Immediately around the ring. Captain Fornoff, at my request, issued an order that no firearms of any kind be carried into the arena and later he broadened this order to Include any and all kinds of fire works and noise-making machines that may be dangerous or likely to incite trouble. The fighters have tapered off pretty well in their actual training for the contest. There won't be much more doing, although both men will probably box a little for the moving picture men.

There is a sheer drop close to 2,000 feet in spots on this road, with but a few inches of stone hold ing the outer wheels of your con veyance; and, believe me. it is one of the real thrillers of the country. Johnson said he enjoyed it, but thought more than once of his for feit to appear in the ring at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon. Tommy Burns Is Coming. Tommy Burns, former champion of the world, will be here within 24 hours. It was announced last night that Burns would be in charge of the Flynn corner during the scrap. Burns probably will be the only ex-champion on the ground, now that Jim Corbett has announced definitely that ho can not be here. Johnson Trainer Sees Flynn. That Flynn is in great shape is absolutely certain now. Only a glance is necessary to show tins. Last night Tom Flanagan, of Toronto, in charge of the affairs at Jack Johnson's camp, got his first peek at rhe challenger. Flynn came into town to visit a little and in 'he club headquarters came face to face with Flanagan. Jim was a regu lar Willie-off-the-yacht, being clad in white duck trousers, white can vas shoes and a Norfolk jacket of blue. Flanagan looked at him in amazement and then congratulated him on his good condition. They kidded a little and finally Tom said: "I hope It Is a fine day Thurs day.” "It will be fine, and you'll never forget it, either," laughed Flynn, as he walked away. "Just remem ber my prediction." After Flynn had left, Flanagan again expressed astonishment at the fileman’s appearance. "Naturally 1 didn't believe all of the stories about his having taken on all that weight and looking so big and healthy," he said, "but now 1 have seen for myself and know that the truth has been told. Why, he boxed 41 Williams for me in Tor.Aixu last September, and I’ll swear he didn't weigh 175 pounds then. I never saw such a change in a man in my life." Sitton Tops Cracker Hurlers With Seven Winsand Three Loses Vedder Silton, who pitched very poor ball in the South Atlantic league last year, has proven that Manager Hemphill was right in recalling him, as he is now the leading pitcher on the Atlanta team. Sitton has pitched ten games this season and was returned the winner in seven of them. He has worked for a few innings in several other games, but did not get credit for a win or lose. Follow ing are the records of the Atlanta pitch ers to date: W. L. P C. Sitton 7 3 .700 Dessau 7 4 .6.38 Atkins 4 5 .444 Brady 3 4 .429 JORDAN QUITE SICK: IS STILL IN ATLANTA i Otto Jorh, who was taken sick Fri day. is still 'fined to his bod at the home of Mrs. Jordan's mother in Atlan ta, and it may be some time before the Chattanooga second baseman gets back in the game. At the present time the physician in charge is puzzled to diag nose the symptoms. Typhoid fever is somewhat feared, but no conclusive symptoms have as yet appeared. In the meantime Billy Smith is hav ing a fit. for he needs his field captain and second baseman, and "needs him bad." He telephones a couple of times a day and has Otto and himself worked into a state of fidgets over the situa tion. THORNTON WINS TITLE FROM E. V. CARTER, JR. AUGUSTA, GA., July 2.—Dr. Nat Thornton, of Atlanta, won the cham pionship of the South Atlantic Lawn Tennis association from Ed Carter here Sunday afternoon; score, 6-3, 6-3, 6-1.

The . knock-out came eight seconds before the . bell ended the round and Burns was un able to face his opponent for the next round. Gibbons made play of his opponent from the start, with left Jabs and right upper cuts. The constant jabbing drew blood from the Englishman's nose in the first I round. t Gibbons knocked Burns down for a I count of two in the third round with a 1 right hook to the jaw and in the next re peated for a count of nine. When Burn* arose Gibbons sent in a left hook to the jaw. sending his man down completely out. At the count of eight the bell rang.
