(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 1 want every body to know that I am ready for this battle and in belter 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 1 will be tearing in and not going away when it happens." With these words addressed to t lie mob of at least 2,004) 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 was 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 has 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 code 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 tfiey 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. Tile man scoring a knockdown shall 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 be ‘ stationed immediately atound 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 throughout box 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 dange/ous 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. Jack Johnson had heard so much about the justly celebrated “Scenic Road" out 'to the west of the city that he decided to take a little par ty out over it yesterday afternoon.

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, blit 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, forme: 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 he can not be here. That Flynn is in great shape is absolutely certain now-. Only a glance is necessary to show tills. Johnson Trainer Sees Flynn. Last night Tom Flanagan, of Toronto. In charge of the affairs a' Jack Johnson’s camp, got his first peek at the challenger. Flynn came into town to visit a little and in the 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 fireman's appearance. "Naturally I 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 Sitton Tops Cracker Hurlers With Seven Wins and Three Loses Vedder Sitton, 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- Prs W. L. P.C.

Why, he boxed Al Williams for me in Toronto 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." Flynn Can See Defeat. Flynn is happy and confident and can not see defeat at all. "There won't be a minute in that contest when Johnson will make me back up." Flynn told the throng at his camp yesterday. "I'll carry the fight to him and It will be him or me in short order. I'm abso lutely confident of winning, but if I meet with misfortune you can be sure that I’ll be just as big a man in defeat as he is in victory." Flynn told me yesterday after noon he had a dream that pleased him. He dreamed that he defeated Johnson in three rounds. “This makes me think that I'll win to a certainty, because dreams always come by opposites and while 1 may not win In three rounds Fm liable to win In 30. Just you watch and see,” was the challen ger’s confident statement. Flynn boxed seven rounds yes terday. In addition to the heavy work on the light and heavy bags, the skipping ropes, the medicine balls, besides the warming up work in the handball court. He went two rounds with Abdul the Turk, two with Ray Marshall and three with Al Williams. Sid Burns Is a Pipe ™ For Gibbons; Fight*' 1 Short But Exciting .
