JIMMY FLYNN DREAMS
OF RETIRING A CHAMP
By 11. M. Walker.
Los ANGELES, CAL., Dec. 10.
Should Jim Flynn drop Lu
thei McCarty by the wayside
here this afternoon and trip up Al
Palzer inside of the twenty-round
limit, it is probable that the game
chap 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, ‘‘l’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
eleven years I’ve been training and
fighting, 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 I 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 1
and Stanley Ketchel couldn't be
roaxed 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
forced to give away' enough weight
to sink an ocean liner when I
stacked up against the heavies.
“After all these years of knock
ing about, it would be pretty sweet
for me to retire with the heavy
weight championship. Mind you, I
don’t say positively that I’m going
to quit the game, but it's possible.
Banks on His Good Luck.
“ Pop’ McCarey has dug up the
two biggest and toughest white men
I in the world, McCarty and Palzer.
Here I am. an old campaigner,
going against a couple of young fel
lows, either 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 I win his belt I’ll
never box a negro. It’s a cinch I
won't go around meeting 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

I can punch."
Yes, if Frank does stop Seiger
we will believe he can hit, for
Seiger, while he is not a clever
boxer, is a swell mixer and has al
ways displayed an ability to take
plenty of punishment.
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 rattling 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.
he 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
conference eleven, that they meet each
fail, if A underbill plays better football
than teams of this section, it will have
a chance to prove It next autumn.

ELLIOTT
NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 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 bis case to the highest base
ball courts.
The New Orleans team needs a
good catcher to help out Anger
meler, 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 ElMott 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 TRAINING
HARD FOR MURPHY GO
CHICAGO, Dec. 10—Boxing fans who
are fortunate enough to get into the
Lewis gymnasium today will witness a
display of science, speed and cleverness
that is not usual in local quarters where
boxers show their wares. Packer Mc-
Farland is training at Lewis for his tight
with Eddie Murphy, said battle being
billed at Kenosha on the night of De
cember 16.
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 J
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.
Brocco Sets Pace That
Kills: Veteran Riders
Nearly Ready to Quit
NEW YORK. Dec. 10.—-Brocco,
the dare-devil star of the
Franco-Italian team in the
slx-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 he led the field,
and the riders making up the fif
teen teams kept continuously ahead
of the record. The score at the end
of the thirty-second hour, 8 o’clock,
was 676 miles 1 lap. The former
record was 667 miles 3 laps, made
by Fogler and Clarke in 1910.
Brocco 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 it 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, but 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.
At 2 p. tn. the. 38th hour, the fif
teen teams had covered 792 miles,,
being then nine miles ahead of the
record, made by Halstead and Dro
bach in 1911.
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 wnl not accept the proposi
tion.
According to the 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 * hard
games, the result being that McGugin’s
mon 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
a harder schedule than any other team
in the South and will probably knock
the Yale proposition in the head?
HERRMANK.SOBE,
GOES OUT ON
WARPATH
NEW YORK, Dec. 10.—The
storm cloudy 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 Herrmann, owner of the Cin
cinnati club, and C. W. Murphy,
president of the Chicago club, to
“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 another 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
reported 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 which might
later result in some squabbles.
The re-election of President
Lynch was apparently assured
when the magnates met.

ALL HONORS IN RUN;
FOWLER HOME FIRST
The Atlanta Prep league's third annual
road run proved another parade for Joe
Bean's Marist team. As hds happened
on the two previous occasions, the Ivy
street lads won not only the individual
prize, but the team prize as well. Eight
of the first nine runners who finished wore
the Marist colors.
Judge Fowler won the race by 40 yards
over George Manning, the tiny Marist
lad who has been the sensation of At
lanta road runs for the last few years.
Fowler went into the lead at the start
and was never headed or threatened.
His time was 18 minutes and 28 sec
onds, breaking the former record of 19
minutes and 30 seconds.
The winning Maris team included
Fowler, Manning. .1. P. Cheeves, Gilbert
Cheves and Callahan. The Georgia

FLYNN IS FAVORITE, 10
TO 8, OVER M’CARTHY;
BETTING VERY BRISK
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 10.—With Jim
Flynn a 10 to 8 favorite over Luther
McCarthy, betting today on tonight’s
contest between the two heavyweights
was active.
Interest in the fight was intense,
amp throughout the day crowds went to
the training quarters of the two fighters,
where the men were resting, ready for
the contest Both were in excellent con
dition. having worked consistently for the
battle.
McCarthy, though less experienced than
Flynn, is receiving lots of encourage
ment. Some of the “experts" assert his
condition is superior to that of the Pueblo
fireman.
There is plenty of money in sight.
Nat Goodwin is the heaviest individual
backer, I living wagered $3,000 even money
on the coal boy fighter.
