SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. -The moving pictures of the Jack Johnson* Jim Flynn world’s championship boxing contest at Las Vegas bear out my story of the mill. Those who hate viewed them saw Champion Johnson holding and blan keting Flynn for probably two minutes out of every three that should have been devoted to fair, stand-up boxing. They saw Ftvnn tearing to close quar ters In spite of the occasional spells of hooking and uppercutting he wa« subjected to. and they saw Johnson, under Flynn s persistent boring in. grow gradually tired and less inclint d to trade punches with the fireman Johnson’s Holding Shown. The scene at the conclusion of the bout when the state police Invaded the ring to call a halt, is particularly vivid. For some reason the pictures are much clears- than such things usually are. and the determined look on the face Os the police ca[»lain. as well a< the puzzled expression's on the faces of Promoter Curley and other interested parties who clambered into the ring, are reproduced with notabc eff* .'t Just before the Invasion of the ring by the authorities. Flynn Is seen ex postulating with Referee Smith, -who hag pulled the fighters apart to admon ish Flynn for butting Flynn is trying to persuade the referee that butting is the only recourse when an opponent resorts to holding the way Johnson <1 •* Johnson, meanwhile, is standing a fe« feet away and there is something about him that he Is not over-anxious to continue boxing Champ Talked to Writers.

Crackers Are Off Tonight on a “Jinks Journey” Second Invasion of the South Is Always Unlucky Ry Percy H. Whiting. rpHE Cracker club, after to- I day's game, is off for the far outh. When the festivi ties set for this afternoon end the locals will hike out on the Jinx Trip of the reason. Maybe the curse |s off this trip this year, and possibly it will run as smoothly as a dynamo. But if it does, it will establish new precedents. For in years past the second jaunt of the Crackers among the sputhern teams has ever been the Trouble Trip It was on this second southern trip when Bill Smith's famous "rubber ball" charge was made, that <‘»tto Jordan was arrested and that •he league was thrown into a turmoil that kept ft seething the rest of the- year, if was? if mem ory serves, on a second southern triii that Jim Eox received the wound in his arm that ruined the best ftrst baseman Atlanta ever had. It is a trip that has been marked with injuries, defeats and ructions, < But maybe the luck has changed. -■pH E runs made in the forfeited * game Thursday do not count. To many it might seem an imma terial point whether they counted or not; hut to the many who are in baseball pools the question of how many runs were made is an inter esting one. And for the benefit of this it may be mentioned that the score of forfeited games is 9 to 0 < though what logical reason th. re <■' er was for making the fotfeit score 9 to it has never been demon strated ». In order to get a definite ruling. The Georgian wired President XV. M Kavanaugh of the Southern league His reply was: According to rule 27. averages do not count, as five inrongs not played." As a matter of real fact, rule 27 does not cover specifically this par ticular point. It relates only to games terminated by the umpire under rule 22. section 3. And Thursday's second game was not covered by that particular section, for it was not "called on account of darkness, rain. fire, panic, or any other cause which put patrons or players in peril." However, even if the president quoted the’ wrong rule, it is appar ent that nothing counts in a game that runs les- than four and a half innings. Thanks to O'Toole's nerve, however, the victory went for At lanta. xiflTH one exception, ’he Crack ' ’ er club has not found a pitch c- tn the Southern league yet that it could beat with any regularity. The sole and illuminating exception is lleinie Berger. He has lost three to the <'racket s and has won none, otherwise, the Crackers haven't £ found a man this tear they could defeat oftencr than once without losing a few to him to spoil the showing. Os course, that isn't so amazing when it is considered bow infrequently the Crackers have de feated anybody. It's qm er the way some pitchers prove jinxes to certain clubs and how some clubs put the hickey on others For instance, Aitcheson K ; won four garnet from Atlanta without losing any. Enxen has won three from Memphis and three . from New Orleans without losing any Pemaree lias won four from New Orleans without 1 -sing any. Case has h:ul Mobile goat, to the extent if three in a row. Deasau trimmed Montgomery three times running Chattanooga is pie for 1 ampbeii. who has piled up three vn torses -'ith.out t defeat A few reams are hoodoo® for cer tain pitchers Fle'narty cant get by Mobi’e »nd ha- 'os’ 'href games .all he has pitched against the Gul's. Foxen .. jonalied by Mobile and Chattanooga. Chappelle can't do anything with Memphis or Mobile. Josh Swindell has dropped three and won none form Memphis. Johns has lost all he has pitched against Birmingham. Coveleskie finds Bir mingham his only real stumbling block. More is in the same fix, and so is Fritz. Baseball fans, except the bettors, do not pay a lot of attention to this especial slant, but managers do. When they find a pitcher can't win against a club. ttfc>y try to jockey their staff so that he will not have tn try Bill Smith has ever been a great believer in th® efficiency of certain of his pitchers against cer tain clubs. He keeps most elab orate pitching records, and can tel) you to th® last fraction of a hit what his pitchers are doing against the various clubs. A lot of the old psychology stuff enters into this. Let a pitcher be lieve he can beat a particular club and he will usually do it. On the other hand, let him-believe that he can't get by any one team and he's beaten before he goes in. A wise, manager, knowing these things, jockeys his staff accordingly.

ATLANTA, GA. xtOT since the days of Noah has 1 baseball suffered as much at the hands of the weather man as it has this year. Not satisfied with raining all the spring and making training impossible, it has rained almost every day since. Yesterday's game was off on ac count of the rain. The second game Thursday ended in a shower. It rained the day before that. It rained th® day before that. It has been raining as long as human mind can remember —not all the time, hut usually at game time or shortly afterward. Th® Southern league magnates are feeling the strain. So is the league. If it rains, you can't play baseball. And If you don't play baseball, there are no gate re ceipts. It’s certainly a tough prop osition. On the other hand, the moguls have been helped out by a close race. There isn't a team In the league except Nashville that isn't in the hunt. And a close race means money for th® moguls. So maybe they wil! do fairly w ell aft er all. AD HAS BROKEN HAND; RIVERS TO CLAIM TITLE LOS ANGELES, CAL..

'I consider that Joe Rivers is rightfully entitled to the lightweight championship right now. but we would sooner win it than claim it. "If Wolgast is sincere in his desire for another bout, now is th® time for him to declare himself. If Wolgast’s hand is'really broken, which T doubt, we can sign articles now with the pro vision that he be allowed time enough to got thoroughly well."
