His escape seemed miraculous. The

the disgust of his hackers.
He entered the ring MT 132 pounds,
standing five feet six inches high. He
was looked after by Owen Fitz and
Jim Tumulty. Began, who is twenty
older than Flanagan, stood five feet eight
inches, and weighed 1873 pounds. Jack
Dolan and Bill Monahan seconded him.
Thomas Maxwell acted as referee, and
Bill Sweeney and Tom Evans were time
keepers.
At the call of time the men sprang to-
gether, Flanagan landing on his oppo-
nents jaw. Began led with his left on
F~lanagan's face, and the latter returned
the blow q little later. Began retaliated.
Then both acted cautiously untilthe round
closed.
In the second round Flanagan tried to
force the fighting and got in u hard blow
with his left and drove his right with ter
rible force, landing on his opponents
eyes.
The blow knocked Flanagan off his feet
M he fell in q corner, where he lay for
over ten seconds. Time was called and
he was saved from defeat in two rounds.
Very little fighting was done in the
third round, Flanagan seeming afraid To
approach too near Bogan's right. Both
men fought savagely in the fourth round,
Began again knocked Flanagan down,
using a swinging left handed blow.
Flanagan was again on his feet in an
instant and he sent Began reeling against
the wall by a right handed counter.
Then both hit fast and steady until the
round closed, Began getting h best OF
the skirmish.
Flanagan made O rush at Began in the
fifth round and dashed him against one Of
the posts. The collision cut a deep cash
in Bogan's arm and the blood streamed
over him as he fell.
From this time until the tenth round
neither man did much fighting. Flana
gan sprinted around the ring almost con
tinually.
Began came UP refreshed in the

into Flanagan's. stomach. In return
Flanagan tried t6Swind Began, landing q
number of good blows.
In the twelfth round Began tried tt

Began plugged away in the thirteenth
round, trying hard to finish the fight
Flanagan being in a bad way. Bogar
punished himself.
The fourteenth round was the last, but
it developed little fighting. Flanagan
had little life left and he tried to say
himself by c%linching. Began could moi
break away to give him a settler.
~Flanagan's seconds danced about the
ring and yelled until everybody wa:
worked up to an exciting pitch. The
referee ordered the men to break, anC

and the referee awarded Began the purse
