IN the arena OF the Southern Athletic
Club, after fifteen rounds of as desperate
fighting as was ever seen in any ring.
From the first tap CT the gong until the

away with all the energy they "osscssed.
There has seldom been seen a battle
where the issue was more in doubt. In
one round ii would be Sullivan AMI in the
next McGovern. Then Sullivan would
come strong again and even things up

McGovern was after his man every

he was on the aggressive and Sullivan
was forced to do far more defensive work
than his opponent. He put up wonder

core and lost the fight more through q
blunder Of his own than because he was
knocked out. When the finish came
however. he was groggy and going CAST.

when Sullivan seemed about to turn the
tide his way again, from that time on
McGOvern kept steadily but very slowly

He fought ever forward and Sullivan was

Scarcely had the words fallen from
his lips when MIR. Tillman. sitting few

Dennis FLYNN in Washington.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Dele-
gate Dennis Flynn of Oklahoma,
reached Washington today for
the coming session of Congress.
Mr.. Flynn was in railroad wreck
near Cincinnati, but was not in
jured. He said to-night he would
be joined here next week by Dele
gate Rodey of New Mexico and a
delegation of statehood advocates
from Arizona and that a confer
ence will be held for the purpose
of outlining plans for the fis
for the statehood bill, which will
be started early in the session.
Mr.. Flynn said he had not seen
the members of the sub-commit-
tee of the Senate committee on
territories who are investigating
the conditions in the three terri
tories, as they had not reached
Guthrie when he left, but he felt
sure their investigation would
convince them that the terri
tories should be admitted as
states.
"The result of the elections in
the territories will not have any
especial effect upon the state
hood bills prospects," said Mr..
Flynn. "Oklahoma went Repub-
lican, New Mexico gave Mr.. Rod
ey a tremendous majority and
the Democratic victory in Ari-
zona was generally discounted.
The bill will be called up De-
cember 10 and by that time the
statehood forces will have been
organized for the contest. | feel
sure the bill will be passed"
Dennis has changed his mind
again. He said few days after
the election that there was no
hope for statehood. But Dennis
has found out there gre men in
the Senate willing to do right re-
gardless of the political COM
plexion of Oklahoma. Dennis
thought he would force the people
down here to vote the Republ-
can ticket. But we are Ameri-
can citizens and vote as we please.

Eor Speaker In Oklahoma.

Guthrie, Ok, Nov. 15.-Edgar
w. Jones, representative elect
from this, the Sixth District, is a
candidate for speaker of the low
er house. His success as a candi-
date for office under disadvan-
tages will add to his strength in
the race. Jones has made his
political reputation in Logan
county, where there is repub-
lican majority that usually has
overcome Democratic officeseek-
ers. He has been attorney of
Logan county twice in succession,
winning two years ago by a plur-
ality as great as that by which
several republicans were elected
to office. In his race for the legis-
lature he defeated the republican
candidate by about seventy votes,
the county giving Mcclure, the
lRepublican congressional candi-
vdate, a plurality of more than
t1,200. Jones was candidate
for the congressional nomination
that was given to VIM. Cross.
