FLYNN DEFEATS WILLIAMS
Cripple Greek Man Sent Down
and Out in Fourth Round
Settles Championship,

In what proved to be a smuggling
match from the tap Of the gong at the
opening Of the first round, Jim Flynn
of Pueblo knocked out Morgan Will
liams of Victor in Pueblo last Thurs
day night Flynn finished the miner
in the middle of the fourth round. q
r1ght-hand wallop to the stomach de-
livered at an opportune moment send
ing Williams down for the count after
he had been floored four times In the
same round.
Flynn and Williams are old-tfme
rivals for the middleweight champion
ship of Colorado.
The Pueblo boy entered the ring
looking stronger than his opponent, and
before the end Of the initial round his
superior strength began to tell
Donors in the first three rounds We're
pre- ctically even. Williams started off
well and jabbed Flynn around the ring
for the greater part of the first round,
but Flynn evened up matters by rush
ing shower Of telling blows on the
head.
In the second Williams worked the
left shift successfully and landed a
couple of terrific blows on the Pueblo
mans jaw, getting away without a re-
turn.
In the third Flynn became more ag-
gressive. and the round ended with
Williams weak.
He came back apparently strong In
the fourth, but in a wild mixup he was
punished and knocked down.

Farmers Are Anxious to Place
Ball Team in State
League.

The talk about a state baseball
league has awakened interest among
the fans in Bountiful A letter re-
oeived yesterday by The Herald gives
the idea Of a BOuntifuI baseball fan
upon a state league. He says:
In regard to a state baseball league,
Bounttful is willing to join with one
OF the fastest teams in the state The
record made by the Bountiful team
last season is such that the people of
this town are proud Of their team.
They now propose to fence in the ball
grounds and viii be able to draw large
crowds. Last season the Bountiful
team was one of the strongest teams
in the state and beat an all star Salt
Lake team in a ten-inning game by a
score Of 3 TO 2. In this team the Salt
Lakes pitched Castleton and Thornton
and caught Marx and the rest of the
team was made UP Of the best players
in the state, yet BOuntiful won. This
town can turn out big Saturday
crowds, as it is the farmers holiday,
and last season frequently over a thou
sand were present at some Of the big
ger games. In Grant we have a local
pitcher who is as good as anything in

BY William r. Kirk.

one Of the most remarkable phe-
nomena I recall remarked Willie
Keller, when I found him the other day
cutting coupons in his Brooklyn Office,
occurred when Joe Kelley, McGraw
and myself were taking in the sights
Of Paris some years ago.
AS you perhaps know, the FaubOurg
St. Antoine intersects the Rue St.
Denis at the junction of the Marie
Advertisement and the Latin Quarter.
I may not have the streets just right,
but anyhow / never saw so many cor
ners in one block. Kelley always car
ried two OF three baseballs In his
pockets, never knowing when he might
meet an umpire. Well one balmy sum-
mer evening we were standing on the
Rue st. Denis near the intersection l
have mentioned, and Kelley seized me
By the arm.
Isn't that Hank O'Day?' he wills
pered, pointing at a distant figure.
Il nodded assent, and Joe selected a
nice hard ball from his collection. Now,
watch me- he said. I am going to hit
O'Day IN the block, and ne won't know
where the ball came from, either.
Watch the curve l put on this With
that he let drive. The ball started to
ward the Faubourg st. Antoine, broke
sharply through the Latin Quarter, de-
scrited a sharp curve around the Eff
fel Tower, and landed flush on O'Day's
right ear. I don't know whether it was
atmospheric condition that sent the ball
through such a weird Zigzag or the
absinthe we had been slipping"
What happened to O'Day?" 1 gasped
feebly.
That's the funny part of it," said

O'ROURKE HIT HARD.
Courts Say He Cannot Conduct Box
ING in His New Club.

Chester, Pa, Feb. 17.-Tom O'ROurke
and his Tuxedo Athletic club have re-
ceived a knockout blow. Judge John
son, after a conference with the dis
trict attorney, instructed Sheriff Nc
Clure to stop the proposed twenty
round boxing contests at the clubs new
arena at North EssingtOn, two miles
from this city. Arrangements had
been made TO open the new club house
with twenty and ten-round contests on
Wednesday night, but the court de-
cided that what cannot be done in
Philadelphia and New York cannot be
permitted here.
The promoters are New York and
Philadelphia men, who have invested
many thousands of dollars In purchas-
ing ground and erecting one Of the
finest boxing arenas in the country
The matter is likely to be tested in
the highest courts. as the location and
conveniences are admirably adapted to
the purpose of fighting.

when we were doing our spring
training back in 1887, down in a little
burg in Alabama, I was trying out two
