the real host yesterday at the East
side gymnasium.
With Jack O'Bren as one of the
party, a gathering of dopesters trav-
eled out on the Grand avenue car and
took the hot and dusty walk to Flynn's
training quarters, which are nicely
situa ted above the Pasadena car line
Although the air was torrid, Flynn
went eight fast rounds. two with q
very husky colored heavyweight whc
travels under the name of Dewey
Dewey proved a tough customer and
mixed it with Flynn in lively style
Jack O'Brien is used to training In
milder form and gazed in open-eyed
wopd erment at the terrific style dis
played by Flynn and Dewey.
The black gave Flynn about all that
any one could desire, considering the
weather conditions They exchanged
life-sized wallops and Manager Linckc
appeared relieved when the fray came
to an end.
Billy Walsh, the lightweight, came
next and Jim allowed Billy to land at
will, evidently with the purpose of at
tanning armor- proof body conditions
Last came another dingy, not SO
black as Dewey and not so boisterous
The two went four rounds over the
canvas, until the latter was willing to
quit.
