Should Jim Flynn drop Lu titer McCarty by the wayside ~ rn this afternoon and trip up Al P i > inside of the twenty-round limit, .it is probable that the game ■ p may announce his retirement. After reducing the camp punch ing bag to a shapeless mass yes terday afternoon. Flynn sat down on the edge of the stage and broke into a serious line of talk. •Do you know.” began Jim. "I’ve gone through this training grind so often that I’m like an old truck horse that has worked so long the very weight of the harness hurts him. ■ I’ve been boxing since 1901. For even .vears I’ve been training and lighting, taking all the hard knocks of the game. "My record shows that I've, had 76 battles, but it seems to me I’ve had more than that. I’ve fought every tough man in the game, and the best T ever got was to be cred ited with being a good trial horse. Lost Head in Johnson Fight. "I took two chances against Jack Johnson, and the last time I would have won the title if I had not gone foolish and lost my head. I went up against Sam Langford three times when men like Tommy Burns and Stanlej’ Ketchel couldn’t he coaxed to talk to Sam over the tel ephone. "My weight has always been against me. I was too heavy for a middleweight and not heavy enough for a real heavyweight. What was the result? All the 158-pounders gave me the go-by, and I was foil ed to give away enough weight to sink an ocean liner when I slacked up against the heavies. \fter all these yearst of knock mg about, it would be pretty sweet toy me to retire with the heavy weight championship. Mind you. I don't say positively that I’m going t" quit the game, but it’s possible. Banks on His Good Luck. "Pop" McCarey has dug up the two biggest and toughest white men m the world. McCarty and Palzer. fl "re I am. an old campaigner, going against a couple of young fel lows,. "ither one of whom will out weigh me by 25 pounds or more. Some contract, ain’t It? "If I’m lucky enough to whip the pair, then what? Five or six months of good theatrical work, exactly. I’ve given McCarey my word that if 1 win his belt I’ll never box a negro. It’s a cinch I won't go around rpeeting men like Sandy Ferguson and Tony RoSs. If they don't grab a new one for me inside of a year it looks like re tirement sure.” It may be that Flynn means what MARTIN MAY X* 1m PEACHTREE UPSTAIRS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL UNREDEEMED PLEDGES > %/ 0R MLE Z # / also 1 *0 s ’•ayr ■"C IjM ■ ' Gonorrhoea and Gleet. 1 M — M Contains to poison and sHIg maybeusedfullstrengtb [; uaranle.a ..

The semi-windup should be a' bear event. Kid Lavelle, who has been coming to the front fast of late, is going to mingle with clever Bobby Van. If Robert is in condi tion we feel sorry for Lavelle. But if he isn't right we will take a ticket on slugging young Lavelle. Arthur Worthy and Kid Thomp son should put up a tattling six round mill. Both can hit to beat the band and this bout is almost sure to end with a K. O. attached. Kid Superior and Kid Young will open the entertainment in a four round mix-up. be says. During the last few hours of training a boxer has many dif ferent moods. Perhaps had I caught him just after he had wal loped a sparring partner he would have outlined a round-the-world campaign. NEBRASKA EXPECTS GAME WITH VANDY NEXT FALL LINCOLN, NEBR., Dec. 10.—Nego tiations which are now going on for a football game between the Universities of Nebraska and Vanderbilt are ex pected, in local football circles, to bring about a meeting of these two elevens next fall. It will be the first time that a member of the ’Missouri Valley confer ence has met Vanderbilt, recognized champion of the South, and it will be the first opportunity that football fans of this section have ever had of getting a line on the strength of the teams in the two sections. Nebraska is recognized as the class of the Missouri Valley conference and each fall puts out an eleven that does credit to the Cornhusker school. It is not often that the local players are beaten in the conference race. Usually they come through with the champion ship at their belt and with a good showing against Minnesota, a Western ™Tv e ? that lhe - v m> et ' each ran. if \ anderbilt plays better footba'l than teams of this section, ft will have a chance to prove it next autumn. ‘‘Correct Dress for Men” ■ ■ ‘‘Correct Dress for Men” Essig Bros.

Dee. 10.—Al though the Vernon club of the Pacific Coast league has purchased Catcher "Rowdy” Elliott from the Nashville club, it’s no cinch that the chunky backstop will go West next season. Certain ly he will not if Cholly Frank can keep him from it. For the New Orleans manager contends that El liott should have been turned over to the Pelicans, and is going to carry his case to the highest base ball courts. The New Orleans team needs a good catcher to help out Anger meier, and there was great surprise when it was announced that Elliott had been sold to Vernon. To do this it was necessary to get waiv ers, and it was figured the Dutch man would never pass up this fel low when he could be secured for S4OO. And Frank contends that when waivers were asked he re fused to pass Elliott by. Under Southern league rules. Elliott should have been turned- over to New Orleans for S4OO. But League President Kavanaugh was not in Little Rock at the time and the Nashville club went ahead and closed the Vernon deal. , Now the Dutchman has donned his war togs and he swears that Elliott will play with the New Or leans club next season or stick to his farm near Rock Island, 111. M’FARLAND TRaTnTnG HARD FOR MURPHY GO CHICAGO.

HARRY BAY GETS S3OO FROM BLOOMINGTON CLUB CINCINNATI, Dec. 10.—The National baseball commission has just handed down a finding which upheld the na tional board of the National Associa tion of Minor Leagues, which ordered the Bloomington club, of the Three 1 league, to pay Player Harry Bay S3OO. The commission decided that as Bay paid the money from his own pocket in order to secure his release from Nash ville. so as to become manager of the Bloomington club, it was no more than right that the Bloomington club reim burse him to this amount when it re leased him as manager, but retained him as a player. Brocio Sets Pace That Kills: Veteran Riders Neary Ready to Quit NEW YORK. Dec. It,.—Brocio, the dare-devil star of the Franco-Italian.team in the six-day bike race at Madison Square Garden, today set a pace in the contest that has never before been equaled in the twenty years in which the race has been run. Hour after hour lie led the field, and the riders making up the fif teen teams kept continuously ahead of tile record. The score at the end of the thirty-second hour. 8 o’clock, was 676 miles I lap. The former 1 record was 667 miles 3 laps, made by Fogler and Clarke in 1910. Brocio and his teammate, Ber thel, were apparently riding with the idea of preventing any advan tage being taken by Kramer, Clarke and Eddie Root. Their plan worked, and ft was reported during the early hours today that these three veterans were greatly dis gusted and would retire from the race if conditions were not changed. All three are noted for their sprint ing ability, hut never before have they had to keep up such a steady grind at record-breaking speed. A riot was threatened about 5 o’clock when the special officers made a raid upon the ‘"sleepers," some of whom had occupied benches at the race since midnight Sunday. The "'sleepers” refused to leave and the trouble was not quelled until the officers retired, leaving the spectators in charge of the situation. Paddy Hehir, one of the Mel bourne-New York team, had taken the lead temporarily at the end of the thirty-third hour. 9 o'clock. The score at that hour was 695 miles 3 laps, with al! teams tied. This was 11 miles better than the record made by Lorenz and Saidow last year. YALE WANTS GAME WITH VANDY; WILL NOT GET IT NASHVILLE. TENN., Dec. 10.—Yale wants a game with Vanderbilt for 1913. That looks promising for the Commo dores’ football team next season, but It is very likely that the Vanderbilt games committee will not accept the proposi tion. According to t—e report here, the Yale management would like to play Van derbilt on October 25, but that would mean another long trip for the Com modores before and after two hatd games, the result being that McGiigin's men would probably be unfit for the game in the East and also in bad con dition after returning from New Haven. It is probable that Vanderbilt will take on for next season Mississippi, Georgia, Auburn and Michigan, besides the Virginia and Sewanee games, which are certainties. This will give the team 1a harder schedule than any other team Ln the South and will probably knock the Yale proposition In the head? HERRMANN,SORE, GOES 00T ON WARPATH NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—The storm clouds that have been hovering over the National league for nearly two months be cause of the Tinker deal, hung low today when the magnates gathered for their annual session at the Waldorf. Efforts made last night and to day by other club owners to get Garry Hei t mann, owner of the Citt- * cinnati club, and C. W. Murphy, president of the Chicago club, tv “kiss and make up” were said to have failed; and, with Murphy de claring that he was going to keep Tinker, and Herrmann vowing that ‘'something will happen"' if he did not get Tinker, the session threat ened to take on Turco-Balkan ex pression. The magnates busied themselves when the meeting opened talking trades and deals. The tip was out. owing to the Herrmann conference with Roger Bresnahan, deposed manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, and anothe secret meeting with Frank Farrell,"owner of the New York Americans, that if Herrmann could not get Tinker he would make Bresnahan manager of his club and • turn Frank Chance, erstwhile lead er of the Cubs, over to Farrell, The Pittsburg club wants Bresna han to bolster up its catching de partment and has a SIO,OOO contract awaiting his signature, but It was teported that Barney Dreyfus, own er of the Pittsburg club, would stop dickering with Bresnahan and per mit him to go to the Cincinnati club if Herrmann didn’t fulfill his veiled threat to demand an investi gation of Murphy’s connection with the Fogel scandal. The baseball men today were a unit in declaring that the action of the league’s directors in deciding the Bresnahan case involving his suit against the St. Louis club for $40,000, which he claims due on an unexpired contract, was a master stroke, as it relieved the league from giving a decision w hich might later result in some squabbles. The re-election of President Lynch was apparently assured when the magnates met.
