W. Naughton. SAN FRANCISCO, .Julv 13. The moving pictures of the .Inek .Johnsnn- Jlm Flynn world's championship boxing Contest at Las Vegas bear out my story of the mill. Those who have 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 Flynn tearing to close quar ters in spite of the occasional spells of hooking and uppercutting he was eub.tccted tn, and they saw Johnson, unde>- Flynn's persistent boring in. grow gradually tired and less inclined to trade punches witli the fireman. Johnson's Holding Shown. The acene 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 clearer than such things usuallj are, and the determined look on the face Os th° police captain, as well as the puzzled expressions on the faces of Promoter Curley and other Interested parties who clambered into the ring, ano reproduced with notable effect. Just before the Invasion of the ring by the authorities. Flynn Is seen < x postulating with Referee Smith, who has 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 did Johnson, meanwhile, is standing a few feat away and there Is something about him that he Is not over-anxious to continue boxing Champ Talked to Writers. XThen ’he police come In. Flynn pleads with the captain to be allow ad to continue, but the official shakes HiS head and waves his arm to signify that the fight »• gone far enough Flvnn then walks to his corner with a jauntv manner, while Johnson saun ters slowly to the ropes and gives his version of the affair to the men in the press division Rv this time Johnson's “golden smile" has mellowed Into a saddened look but evmw p i\ of ex pression on the champ’on's feature is remarkably distinct a« he stands there talking to the newspaper met Spider Kelly, one <>f San Franciscos most famous pugilistic experts w an interested watcher of the moving pl - tures Kelly attended th» fight and was among those holding the opinion that Johnson put up a wretched fight and was in danger of being worn down if the state police had held aloof “When Johnson hnxes again, no mat ter where it is, 1 will be at the ringside to bet again’’ him " said Kelh . w hen the fims had ceased running He has had his day and will surely be rlc seated if his nex> opponent is a lug ged fellow with plenty of pluck TOM LYNCH PUTS BLAME ON “HIS UMPS” RIGLER NEW VoRK .lul.v ill Pr.-idcnt Lynch of the Tague has ma e a thorough inx c-i ign i ion of the row b. iwe*n *hree ’Tiu.igo i a\ns nd some .spectators at a game In Pittsbuig an!

Crackers Are Off Tonight on a “Jinks Journey” +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ Second Invasion of the South Is Always Unlucky By Percy 11. Whiting. rrxHE Cracker club, after to- ? day's same, is off for the far south. When the festivi ties sot for this afternoon end the locals will hike out on the .Jinx Trip of the season. Maybe the curse is off this trip this year, and poesiblx it "ill 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 southern teams has over been the Trouble Trip. It was on this second southern trip when Bill Smith's famous "rubber ball" charge was made, that t»tto Jordan was arrested and that the league was thrown into a turmoil that kept.lt seething the rest of the year, it was, if mem ory serves, on a second southern trip that Jim Fox received the wound in his arm that ruined the best first baseman Atlanta ever had. It is a trip that has been marked with injuries. di feats and ruct ions. But mat b< the luck has changed. .■pH |.; runs made in the forfeited * game Thursday do not count. To many it might seem an imma terial point whether they counted or not; but tn the man.' who are in baseball pools the question of how man\ run- wort' made is .an inter esting one. Anri for the benefit of this |t may be mentioned that the score of forfeited games is 9 to A (though "hat logical reason there e'er was for making the forfeit Store 9 to n has never been demon strated i. In older to got a definite ruling. The Georgian wired President TV. M. Kavanaugh of the Southern league His reply was. "According to rule 27. averages do not count, as five innings 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 J. 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 pa’rons or players in peril." However, e'en it the president quoted the wrong rule, it is appar ent that nothing counts in a game that runs less than four and a half innings. Thanks to O'Toole's nerve, however, the victor' "ent for At lanta. * * « \\fl TH one exception the <'rack " er club las not found a pitch er in the Southern league yet that it could beat with any regularity. The so < tnd Illuminating exception is Hrinic Berger. He has lost three to the ('rackets and has won none. Otherwise, the Crackers haven't found a man this year they could defeat oftonei than once without losing a few to him to spoil the showing, Os tourse, that isn't so amazing "hen it is considered how infrequent!.' the Crackers have de feated anybody. It’s queer the way some pitchers pro'e Jinxes to certain clubs and ho" some clubs put the hickey on othe"- For instance. Aitcheson mts ".m four games from Atlanta "itbout sing any.

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, they try to jockey their staff so that he will not have to try Bill Smith has ever been a great believer In the efficiency of certain of his pitchers against cer tain clubs. He keeps most elab orate pitching records, and can tell you to the 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 g' t by any one team and he's beaten before he goes in. A wise manager, knowing these things, jockeys his staff accordingly.

VOT since the days of Noah has 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, but usually at game time or shortly afterward. The Southern league magnates are feeling ’he 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 the moguls. So maybe they will do fairly well aft er all. AD HAS BROKEN HAND; RIVERS TO CLAIM TITLE LOS ANGELES, CAL.. July 13.—Fol lowing the report given out by Tom Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast. that an X-ray examination of Wolgast's right hand had disclosed two broken' bones which would force him to remain out of the ring for at least three, months.

"1 am tired of keeping mv foot on the soft pedal and waiting hat in hand fb’- Ad Wolgast to attach his signa ture to articles for a return match with Joe Rivers." said Levy. "I consider that Joe Rivers is rightfully entitled 10 the lightweigh’ championship right now. but we would sooner win It than claim it. “If Wolgast is sincere in his desire for another bout, now- is the time for him to declare himself If Wolgast's hand Is really broken, which I doubt, we can sign articles now with the pro vision tbaf he be allowed tim* enough to get thoroughly well."
