SAN DIEGO, Cal, April 17.-Jim
Flynn knocked out George Gardner in
the eighteenth round at the National
Athletic club pavilion tonight.
The biggest fight crowd that ever
turned out in San Diego saw the knock
out. Gardner put up a game and scien-
tific fight, but was outclassed in youth
and strength by the husky fireman
from Pueblo.
The crowd claimed the knockout blow
was a foul, but, though low, 1t was
above the belt, Young Jeffries refe-
reed the fight. He cautioned the men
to break promptly. The contest was
the best ever pulled off in San Diego.
The two preliminaries were not worth

Hy Berry's hirelings are again top

Yesterday the Angels went after the
Refugees and played ball all the way
through, taking no chances on another
ninth inning finish. The men who see
their names on Berry's pay roll worked
things on the shutout plan, and al
though the Refugees connected with
Gray's delivery for six singles and in
nearly every inning had man or two
on the pillows they could not get them
clear around the sacks to score. The
locals, on the other mitt, played a real
game and cut out the rough work which
lost for them on Tuesday.
1t was kind of patched lineup the
locals presented, for Delmas who was
bumped on the foot in Tuesdays spasm,
was forced to recline in his hammock
all day and nurse the injured member.
Judge Nagle ornamented the position

was all to the good. Bernard, who has

his presence and will probably be back

Start In First Round

The Angels started early-and stayed
late. In the first round Carlisle stung
the second ball Willis pitched and
landed on the initial station in safety.
Ellis used his optics and waited for the
wide ones, Carlisle going on to third
Kitty Brashear tried to bunt one and
threw his bat at it, knocking the sphere
out to the short field.
Carlisle thought he saw chance to
score and tore for the home plate, but
was met there by Mr.. Street and the
ball, which had been retrieved by Moh-
ler in plenty Of time. Ellis in the mean
time kept on to third, but Brashear
failed to advance beyond first.
Smiths effort should have been easy,
but Mohler failed to cover the initial
station when Williams went after Jud' S
bunt and the dentist was called safe,
Ellis crossing the platter with a run.
Dillon and Cravath both went out to
the infield and ended the period.
The second and last run was made in
the second. Nagle went out on a pop
to Wheeler, and Hogan got on the bags
with single that tore past Wheeler
like buzzard on it's way to the slaugh-

1t is to this good fortune in present
