Rivers has been tagged as the i hallenger of Wolgast. yet the Mexican marvel has never by word of mouth, action or design, issued a defi to the 133-pound title holder.

I By Damon Runyan. r A N a bright moonlight Saturday I I night in later summer Chief of Police Bob Griffin stood in front of Pete Reilley's, combing his gray whiskers with his fingers. Be fore him lay the main channel of * Pueblo’s activity—this was in Pueblo. Colo, understand, and the time some twelve years ago. The * eye of the good old chief—■peace to * his ashes! —rested meditatively * -upon the shifting throngs of steel * workers and smelter hands, and recalling that ft had been pay day 1 nt the mills, the chief was consld -1 ering whether he should send flf ' teen officers, or the entire force of 1 sixteen. down into the "Grove'' “ against the exigencies of the eve. ’ As he debated this Important 1 matter in his mind, and listened ' to the polygot voices, his gaze gathered up in the moving film of folks the figure of young Mr. An drew t’blariglione—broad of beam, and careless of manner and attire. Young Mr. Chiarigllone was shoul dering his way through the throng without reference to any human obt tructions in his path The brow of the chief clouded. He searched his memory swiftly, and brought to light a recollection of certain Chiarigllone peccadilloes of the past —only in Pueblo they don't call ’em that. He raised a beckoning finger "tine moment, there. Andren!" he called. Mr. Chriarlglione looked around. A moonbeam fell upon the chief's golden shield, and glanced off into Mr. Chlariglione's eye. An alley way yawned conveniently close at hand. Without wafting to hold converse with Chief Griftin. Mr. Chiarigllone dived into the alley as a rabbit dives in the whins. Such was the custom in our —in that -day. Any time the chief of police, or any person associated with him in an official capacity, bespoke a youth running free, It was no occasion to wait to ascer tain their capricious desires. Flynn Obeys Instinct and Runs, What Chief Griffin wanted of Mr. Chiarigllone will probably nev er be known Whatever he want ed. Mr. Chiarigllone lingered not He obeyed Instinct and was gone A s Mr. Chiariglione fled into the darkness of the alleyway. Chief Griffin drew a long, blue-beaked revolver from his waistband, where he wore it hooked to a suspender button, and raising the nose of the gun toward the moon, he fired two separate and distinct shots bloole! blooie! This was merely to accelerate the departure of Mr. t'hia iglione. and carried no Intent to harm Had t'hief Griffin not flrcif any -hots whatever.

Prior to his precipitate departure to Salt Lake City, Flynn had been doing a little organized fighting around his home town, along with a great deal of loose, unrestrained milling of one kind and another, but he rode on the zlzz of the chief's skyward shots into a real pugilistic career. Where they used to go to see him fight in the hope of also seeing him licked, bls home town people are now preparing to cheer for the railroad man. And. to my prejudiced—for—Pueblo manner of thinking, that is support to l>e desired above championship belts and all such trivialities. Has Traveled Tough Trails. To what slight eminence he has won Jim Flynn traveled tough trails There never was a time.in his life when he wouldn’t fight anybody, anywhere, and the size of the man and the size of the purse were the last things that entered Into his calculations. Surely that is something In a day of great pu gilistic quibble over a pound of flesh. And. too. whenever Jim Flynn dipped his brow beneath the ropes the audience could settle back feeling that whatever the outcome it would see a fight, for he has a lion's courage In a small sized frame. Had he ridden around instead of trying to ride over such obstacles as Tommy Bums, Jack Johnson • both the heavyweight champions when Flynn fought them—and Sam Langford; did he stand today upon his record, with those fights omit ted. he would have to be conceded a chance of defeating the cham pion Jack Twin Sullivan.

In the first stages of Malaria the complexion grows pale and sallow, the appetite is affected, the system grows bilious, and there is a general feeling of weak ness. As the circulation becomes more thoroughly saturated with the ma larial infection, the digestion is deranged, chills and fever come and go, skin diseases, boils, sores and ulcers break out, and the entire health becomes impaired. Malaria can only be cured by removing 1 the germs from the blood, S. S. S. destroys every I particle of malarial infection and builds up the / nlood to a strong nourishing condition.

Not many. I wot and ween. Flynn's first fight with Johnson was in 1907 at San Francisco, and he remained upright, or nearly so, for eleven rounds. Then he be came conversational with the Gal veston black and cast aspersions Uf»n the Johnsonian ancestry. Whereupon. Johnson knocked him over. Afterward Jim remarked: "The only time I put a glove on him was when we shook hands.” Jim Flynn is no spring chicken, as we reckon pugilistic springers He is nearly 33 years old. In sport ing circles this is considered bor dering upon senility. Somehow, age never seemed to rest very heavily upon the shoulders of Jim Flynn. .With all his 33 hard win ters, and equally adamant sum mers. he will weigh around 19(1 with his diamonds off.

In fact, Brooklyn didn't suspect it until comparatively re cently. But should Jim Flynn chance to knock Mr. Johnson Into the middle of next August, Charlie ' Ebbets might well choose Decem ber 24 as a fitting anniversary for the opening of his baseball park. One time, when the Pueblo club of the Western league was in sore s‘raits. Jim heard about the matter out in Los Angeles, and he prompt- , ly volunteered to return home at 1 his own expense and box an exhibi- 1 tion for the benefit of the strug- ’ -rling baseballers. The offer was ‘ accepted; Jim filled the coffers of the club by beating Bill Pettus, a colored basetail catcher, now around New York, who had pugilis tic aspirations at the time. That cost Jim a pretty penny, but it endeared him to the of his fellow-townsmen. Meantime he was fighting con stantly on the coast, sometimes los ing. sometimes winning. Oddly enough, he improved rather than retrograded with the years. He is bigger and stronger now than he Was Born in Brooklyn 33 Years Ago—Started on Pugilistic Way in Pueblo, and Has Both Jaws Broken—Has Battled With the Best in the Game. ever was in his life.
