Real Hit of Whole
Works

THERE was no Gus Herget in the
ring last night with Jim Flynn
II and Jack Sullivan, and more's the
pity-from the Sullivan viewpoint. Last
time they met the Boston Fox was
robbed on a decision that declared
Flynn the winner because Jawn was
too rough in the clinches and the
Pueblan was handed something for
nothing.
But Mr.. Herget was among those
absent at this meeting and the bald
headed wonder was not to be cheated
out of his just dues-a draw. Flynn
was ready and willing at all times to
fight and try his luck with the best
punches in his repertoire, but there was
no getting past the gray matter in the
Sullivan dome. 1t was give by Flynn
and take by Sully, the only trouble
being that Jack took with his elbows
and gloves, being mighty careful when
it came to letting anything sneak by to
his face or body.
Sullivan certainly fought a careful
fight for the memory of the last battle
with Flynn, in which the elbows played
such an important part in the after
math. was still fresh. Jack was as
polite as a French dancing master, and
made every one of his moves as clean
as possible.
1t was just the opposite with Flynn,
and his style of milling was about as
rough as a man can get away with.
Whenever he had Sullivan against the
ropes, and that was in nearly every
round, Jim did his best to push him
out of the ring, and several times
Referee Eyton was the only. thing that
saved the Boston Spendthrift from a
bad tumble.
Not Good Show
Taken all in all it was not much of a
fight and Flynn was sad disappoint-
ment to those who expected to see him
a wonderfully improved man. While
he was all over Sullivan and always
on the aggressive, the fireman dis
played nothing but willingness, and
this got him but little against the Bos-
tonian's superior generalship.

through the engagement. Would he
come out and fight little Jack could
whip a lot of them, but the old per-
centage in favor of half the receipts
is always there to spoil his chances.
Still Sully is seldom on the short end,
so as long as the bankroll fattens he
gets away with it.
The ten rounds were practically repe-
titions of eacl. other, Flynn always
tearing in and using fierce tactics, and
Sullivan there with the cover-up stuff.
In the second round the crowd began
to boot Flynn for his style, and at fire.
quent intervals thereafter he was gen
erously treated to boos and boots.
The fifth round showed Flynn up as
a dirtier fighter than Jawn Twin ever
attempted to be, and in the sixth Jack
took heart and scored the advantage.
In the seventh Flynn got busy toward
the END and evened up for the preced-
ing period, but there was really no
damage done.
The eighth was busy one, and about
the best of the fight. Sully pressed the
going a bit and after clinch bumped
Flynn over with a right uppercut, fol-
lowed by a left. 1t was almost slip,
and Flynn was up Immediately, Jack
slipping in his turn to get away from
the fireman.
The ninth was productive of couple
of good rallies, and the tenth was not
so awfully fast. The main part of the
round was Flynn's hurry to get at
Jack after touching gloves, but he
failed to carry his point when the Fox
covered up and stopped all that was
offered.
Johnson the Feature
The real feature of the evening was
Battling Johnson, who made Art Col
Inns quit in the fourth round. The
sponge came flying through the air
when Artie was in a bad way, but had
