Los Angeles, Dec. 7. "The easiest man in the world to handle around a training camp." So says Manager Jack Curley of his heavyweight boxer, Jim Flynn. "The only bad habit of his Is the way he manhandles his sparring partners. This makes it hard on me, as good box

ing mates are hard to find." added the manager. All reports from the Vernon training camp are favorable to Flynn. "The big fellow Is certainly playing an honest game with his friends," said Owner Jack Doyle last night. "All of the camp boys went to the theater last night, but Jim stayed at home alone,

and at 9:05 the lamp in his sleeping room had been blown out. I believe he is sincere In wanting to pose as the

white heavyweight champion. He Is ' going about It right and deserves credit for doing the square thing." j Flynn Is on edge right now, but needs some boxing to loosen him up. In the way of sparring partners McCarty has had all the best of the fireman. Sunday Flynn and McCarty will finish up the training camp travel. At Vernon the fireman will stage a big boxing program as his wlndup. McCarty will stay at Venice. It has been planned to bring the "cowpuncher" to the ring for the show, but McCarty balked, being superstitious about changing his camp on the last day.

On Monday neither man will work.

Flynn will go Into the ring Tuesday

close to 195 pounds: McCarty at 205. Al Falzer. who is to meet the winner of Tuesday's flyht; Is due to arrive before noon tomorrow. With a good press agent likev Tom O'Rourke behind him the New ; Yorker should make plenty of noise.

Eddie Murphy, the sturdy Boston ring star who meets Packey McFarland at Kenosha a week from Monday night, will be greeted by Manager Mickey McBrlde and a bunch of south side friends when he drops off a train from the Hub today. If the rattler steams Into the station on time Edward will be hustled over to Bill O'Connell's gymnasium for a workout, as the Hub bulldog always rests on Sunday and will need plenty of preparation before he sticks up his hands In front of the McFarland lad.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 7. Sam Crawford, when informed today that a Chicago story had involved him in a trade whereby he was to join the White Sox, said he would be delighted to hold down the Initial corner for Comiskey If he could get the salary he wanted. "Sure, I will be willing." he said. "I'll play first base or any other with any club that will give me my price." Fresfdent Navln, when asked about it, said that if such a bargain was being cooked up in Chicago it had not been broached to'hlm. He added that he had

res, which

that if Craw

ford could not accept them he would have to play elsewhere or quit the game.

BOMBARDIER STOPS GEORGE RODEL

London, Dec. 7. Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight. Is back In the

scramble for the destitute heavyweight championship.

SPORTINGBRIEFS. New York, Dec. 7. In the call for the annual meeting of the United States Golf association in January, issued last night by Secretary Robert C.

The main event last night at the St. Louis Athletic club, between Harry Trendall and Leo Kelly, both of St. Louis, resulted In a draw after eight rounds of hard battling. In the seml-windup Joe Genial of St. Louis was given the decision over Jimmy Foley of Canada.

New-leaders cropped up. In the doubles of the city bowling tournament at Benslnger's Randolph alleys Thursday when Adolph Trapp and Charley Miller, two experts from Lake View, banged out a 1,259 series that put them into first place, with a fair chance of being handed the medals at the finish. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 7. Koji Tamada, the Japanese billiardist, turned the tables on George Slosson, who defeated him Monday night, when he won

last night's game in the 1S-2 balk line billiard tournament, 400 to 160. Slosson's highest run was 41, while the Japanese had runs of 97. 57 and 65.

Slosson's average was 8 8-19 and Ta-! mada's 21 1-19. ! ' In a close and interesting meet, the result of which depended upon the re- j lay race, the last event, Evanston high school won the fifth annual Indoor In- ; terscholastic swimming event of the Illinois A. C. Thursday nieht with a to- I tal of 18 points. Oak Park was a close second with 16 points, while Evanston academy and . Lewis institute tied f or third place with 8 points each. ;

New York, Dec. 7. Jack Rritton of Chicago practically knocked out Billy Bennett, lightweight champion of Ireland, a few seconds before the end of their ten-round bout In Brooklyn last night. Rritton forced the fighting throughout and in the tenth round twice knocked Bennett down with hooks to the Jaw. After Bennett got to his feet the second time he hung

The referee stopped the bout three sec

St. Louis took third place in the three-rushion championship of the National Billiard league by defeating New York, 50 to 37, in the first game of the series last night. E. V. Calmer opened for the Mound City against Leon Magnus, but at the end of the thirty-sixth Inning, when the score stood 16 to 9 in favor of the eastern player, Pierre Maupome. the Mexican expert, went in and passed Magnus. Maupome made 41 points while the New York southpaw was getting 21.

preceded the fighter's arrival and Eddie expresses great confidence therein ' in his ability to cope successfully with the pride oT the yards. "I suppose folks In Chicago . think Packey will have an easier time with me at Kenosha than he did at South Bend last winter all because I made a poor showing against Jack Britton at Boston. Britton is better than his home people realize, but he can't beat me when I am right. i "The night I fought Britton I had' cramps in the stomach, a sprained left thumb and. was way to the bad gener- ! ally. Almost anybody could have beat- j en me that night. Britton knows he 1 caught me when far off my stride and that is why he is artfully dodging an- j other meeting with yours truly. j "You remember I told you last winter that 'I was sure I could beat Mc-' Farland. Well, I admit I was wrong

that time. Packey nailed me with that lucky punch on the chin In the fourth round and that earned him the shade at South Bend. I was holding my own nicely at the end. And do you know I expect to do much better this time. There won't be any knockdowns scored by McFarland at Kenosha. Packey is a nice boy, but I fear he Is going to get an awful mussing up the evening of Dec. 16.' I will see you Saturday and then you will know what fine fettle I am In for this battle."
