' As for Flynft, he has dlrgusted the moat of hi well wishers by his Infernally bad finlf'-manivers." Those who had money lip 6n him are particularly wrathful, as they feel that the fireman lost the battle through . Criminally foul tactlca. It is propnealtoV In fact, that Pueblo, Jim will ilwaya'.ba held back by h:s' rough-house temperament. He aeems to entertain he :ld:a " that two wrongs constitute a tight and that when Johnsoo violated the U1 of , fair play by conctant holding It was (perfectly legitimate to offset the champions' questionable tactlca by using the head In catpultio fashion. It was as onlshing tha , number of well meaning sporting men who moved over t Flynn'a corner between rounds and besought h'"' to keep his temper. t They told him he would surely win out If he refrained from butting, aa Johnson waa tiring percep tibly, but It waa like, trying to reason with a -crasy person. In. Flynn's use the championship and all thattwent with It waa lost; sight, of for .the time, being. With hire It was simply a flght-a, grudge fight. I might say, , and he. was bent upon, coming, out on, top by, hook or by crook. What will be the outcome of the af'flr; to far at other matches-are con cerned remains to be ,seen.

The latter talks of going to Australia to box Lant ordf hut tho vej-tlcal etback ha recitved at Las Vegas, may cause him -to alt his plans. Johnson evidently thinks vr pootly of A) Palter. i"Ha Is nofrls yet," said "the champion when ' Fler nam waa mentioned, the " Inference b Ing that he considers a couple of 'years i:i have to elapse before Palter can b rrecred aa a championship candidate For that matter Jphnson cand idly st a tei h. a opinion that 'the "Big Four arribhff tho heavyweights la cVmposcd of' colored wen. towitf Johnson, Jeannette.

THRKE-TIME PENNANT WINNER FOR I THE DETROIT AMERICAN LEAGUE TEAM, IS REPORTED DUE TO RE , i CEIVE WALKING; PAPERS. , . v T , J ' cuddy.' Some American league "progres rlvos" went to far as to charge' the fiery- thatched leader of , the Jungaleera . with treason. They, said he. tipped off Mc- Graw to the weaknesses of the Athletics. Personally I believe such an assertion a bald-faced lie. And It would go If the humblest player rather than a man of Jennings' proved Integrity were under suspicion. : For In the belief of the writer bate ball ia honest and straight, simply because' the players are. above treachery. In all the history -of national commission investigations not once ; has an instance been recorded ) where an athlete "-even fibbed.. And in the history of the squab bles, turmoil and strife which has char acterized government and organization, few indeed are the occasions when some magnate has not bid or resorted to tf'ck ery. -1 :i'tr!try : ':y::''r''''' 3 '?;'. .But getting back to ' Hugh Jennings. He is to be congratulated! if he gets out of rooro for him in the National, and,it,ia not; likely that Tom Lynch will stand in hia '. way.' Johnson drove George Stalling! out of New; York; after the :';i?lsChleT' had bui t a joke tallender into real con tender.? The joke bate ball that has char acterized the local American league pas ' time ever since proves "conclusively tha,t' B. B. Jlohnson Is. no orarie. ' L'nch: has taldithat Stallin'gs is welcome to put , hit feet' under the Katlonal league table any time h so desires. ---And so msy Jennings, you may be sure. He is one of the greatest drtlwlng carts In organized bsse ball today. .Jlore New : ToikeiB go to tee htm coach tUan- to'tee Trus Cobb play. , To question h'S abilHy as a manager is ludicrous.
