Jim Flynn Fought a Disgracefully Foul Battle

Referee Accuses the Fireman of Being a Coward
By Ed. AV. 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 Mexico in
the ninth rourfd of his battle 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.
Flynn 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
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: “Is 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.

BACKER OFFIGHT
SAYS $22,000 WAS
LOST ON VENTURE
EAST LAS VEGAS. N. M„ July s—Art
Greiner, of Chicago, the former auto racer,
who was interested in the venture with
Curley, was bitter against Flynn for los
ing in the manner he did and did not
mince his words.
"Flynn had a chance to make good,’’
said Greiner, "but he did not prove equal
to the occasion in any particular. He
not only fought a foul fight, but spoiled
the pictures for us by his uncalled for
work.
"The pictures were the only ehance we
had to get even Flynn acted the part
of an Ingrate, while Johnson acted the
part of a gentleman
"We lost $22,000 on the venture Ip to
noon we had taken in a little over $20,-
000. but we paid Johnson his *31.100 In
full
"The total was $27,000. lam only sorry
that the fight was not a better one 9 e
had knockers from the start to ;he last,
and probably they are now satisfied.''
CARUSO AGREES TO SING
FOR ONLY $7,000 A TIME
NEW YORK. July 5. —Following his
next season of grand opera at the Met
ropolitan here, Enrleo Caruso next
spring will go to Buenos Ayres, it was
learned today, to sing at the National
opera house, the Colon, in that city, at
what is said to be the largest salary
ever paid to a grand opera artist. His
contract was signed last month in
Paris and calls for a minimum number
of twelve appearances at $7,000 a per
formance with the right to sing as
manv more times at the same figures
as Caruso chooses.
M’ELVEEN HERO
IN DOBBS' FIGHT
Continued from Page- One.
noon, and what we’ll do to that Mont
gomery bunch will be a shame."
Why Dobbs Hit MeElveen.
Dobbs' statement, as was to be ex
pected, differed materially from that of
McElveen. “I had no trouble with
Mack while he was with me," said
Dobbs. “He was after every manager
who came to Montgomery to trade him
In, and finallj’ I decided to let Atlanta
have him. Then he made a big holler
about quitting baseball, but he came to
Atlanta.
"As soon as McElveen left my club,”
continued Dobbs, "he began circulating
stories so vile you couldn't publish
them; couldn't even hint at them. Play
ers around the circuit began to throw
the insult at me and told me McElveen
had started it. As a man I couldn't
stand it. I might have jumped on Mc-
Elveen at the ball park yesterday, but
that would have hurt baseball. I might
have waited until he came to. Mont
gomery, but that would have been cow -
ardly. There was just one time to
thrash him and I improved it. I will
whip or try to whip any man who says
about me what McElveen did. It is
false than anybody hit McElveen ex
cept myself. Elberfeld yanked a man
off his chair but took no other part
in the fight. The players with me
merely stood by to see fair play.”
Dobbs has previously borne the best
sort of a reputation and no rough tac
tics were ever before charged against
him.
It is more than possible that out
breaks of illfeeling may occur at the
ball park during the remainder of the
stay here of the Montgomery club, and
the Atlanta baseball association will
provide extra police protection.

Scandal in the Victory of Wolgast Over Rivers
+•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ *+
Both Fighters Were Verily Out at the Same Time
By H. M. Walker.
LOS ANGELES, July s.—The
scandal that followed Ad
Wolgast's victory over Joe
Rivers in the thirteenth round yes
terday will not be forgotten in a
hurry. Nothing else Is discussed In
sporting circles today. There are
three distinct versions of what hap
pened in that final tumultuous
round. They are:
1. That Wolgast knocked Rivers
out cleanly with a blow in the
stomach. This was the referee's
version—and that's the one they
paid off on.
2. That both men were simulta
neously knocked out and that the
referee, with his back to the pros
trate champion, counted Rivers out
while Wolgast was unconscious.
3. That Referee Jack Welch lost
his head and. after counting four,
declared Wolgast the winner.
Both sides were claiming foul
when the decision was made.
The decision of Referee Welch is
condemned In most quarters.
Betting commissioners stated
that payment of bets would be ac
cording to the decision of the ref
eree The gate receipts for the
fight were $41,465.
The fight by rounds follows:
Round I—Theyl—They went close and played
rights on the face. Rivers stood
straight and jabbed face. Wolgast
bored in crouched, and Rivers caught
him a stiff right on the heart and a
hard right swing to the jaw. Wolgast.
sent right to body. Rivers ripped ter
rific right for the jaw. but fell short.
Wolgast placed two lefts on the mouth.
Rivers played on the kidneys with
rights, hard. In the break Rivers
smashed the jaw with right, and Wol
gast, maddened, struck two blows aft
er the gong, for which he apologized.
Round 2—Wolgast is bleeding from
left ear. Wolgast put left to wind;
Rivers retaliated with left on the jaw
and right to the wind, which made
Wolgast stagger. In several mix-ups,
Rivers got in hard right and left wal
lops. Rivers is cool and Wolgast’s left
ear is bleeding from Rivers’ right wal
lops.
Round 3—Rivers met the champion
With stiff right over the heart. At close
quarters Rivers mauled the body. In a
clinch Wolgast put a stiff right on the
wind and in the break Rivers retaliated
with right over the heart. Both missed
rights. In the mix-up both Rivers and
Wolgast landed blows. Wolgast missed
frequently. Wolgast put a hard left to
the wind. Wolgast tore into his oppo
nent, but the Mexican fought back vi
ciously.
Round 4—They feinted and Wolgast
bored in. In the break Rivers hooked
a right to the jaw. Blood was flowing
freely from Rivers’ face, while Wol
gast’s left eye was swollen. Rivers
pelted the eye with right and 1 left,
while Wolgast kept boring in for the
body. Wolgast missed a left swing.
Rivers walloped the sore ear with
right and then shot a left hook to the
