SOL PL-E-X, Jim Flynn Fought a Disgracefully Foul Battle •{••-r +•+ +•+ •{'••h •{•••£• -r*-? Referee Accuses the Fireman of Being a Coward By Ed. W. Smith. (The Georgian’s Fight Expert, Who Refereed Title Fight.) East las vegas, n. m„ July s.—Jim Flynn disgraced everybody by fighting about as foul a battle as a man could de vise, bringing down the wrath of the state police of New 7 Mexico in the ninth round of his battie yes terday with Jack Johnson for the world's championship. He demon strated that he no longer is entitled to be known as ‘‘one of the tough est and gamest" of . the heavy- weights. There is much- more respect for a man who will take a punch on the jaw and die the death of a real gladiator on the floor than there is for the man who, seeing himself in for a trimming, will seek the sub terfuge of the foul-—the cowardly refuge of the man who Isn’t game. Flynn Was Not Game. Flvnn might have been game once, but he did not show that he was in this instance. The Pueblo fireman claimed, and with some justice, that Johnson was not fighting him fairly. Per haps so, for Johnson was guilty of the trick of jerking Flynn into him and slashing at him at the same time. , Maddened by the fact that he was being checkmated and out guessed at every stage of the con test, Flynn resorted to . the most barefaced system of fouling. I passed over a few of these, and finally in the ninth round all pa tience was exhausted and, after giving him every opportunity to redeem himself. I was about to dis qualify him and give the contest to the champion When the state police burst into the ring and declared the thing at an end. Though Johnson won. the ques tion remains: ‘Ts he as good as he was at Reno?” It's hard to answer. There are evidences against it, not withstanding the fact that he won decisively enough to suit anybody. FIGHT BY ROUNDS, BY W. W.

PETERSBURG, July 5 —The courts have decided that, however backward Russia may be, she is still too gentle to tolerate boxing contests. A man named Petroff. who manages a recreation hall here, advertised a contest for money prizes among English and French boxers. The prefect of St. Petersburg. General Bartchevsky, at first forbade the show as a disorderly entertainment. He was over ruled by General Kurloff, minister of the imperial police, who ordered that the show be allowed to proceed. Petroff went on spending money, but at the last minute the premier imposed an absolute veto and directed that the pre fect's first decision should be acted upon. Petroff then sued Bartchevsky for $7,000 damages, this being money spent in launching the show, and apparently spent on 'squaring" Kurioff's department. The supreme court rejected his claim and based its judgment on a statue of the Empress Catherine, issued 120 years ago. directing her ministers to see to it that the lower orders should not use their fists on each other in public or use bad lan guage, According to the court, the box ers would’constitute the lower orders and the spectators doubtless would provide the bad language.
