o'sRIEN is THE BETTER.

Observation-Disclosures Jack OBrien
had the better of Jim Flynn, the Pue-
bio fireman, in a six-round go here.
O'Brien's margin was not great. In
fact, Flynn finished the stronger Of
the two and in the final round had
O'Brien in visible distress, opening
cut over his left eye and sending
him to his corner a little unsteady.
Flynn throughout the fight rushed
continually. He landed hard and
often on O'Brien in the second round.
In the first, third, fourth and fifth
rounds. O'Brien got his left jab and
right uppercut in working order and
had a good shade in all, although,
FLYNN was fighting - he time ~; -
In the last round loweyer, Flynn
hooked left to O'Brien's eye the In
slant they came together and banged
him up against the ropes with a sue:
cession of rights and lefts and O'Brien
emerged from the rally with a lot
of his steam gone. 4
O'Brien opened an old cut over
F1ynn's left eye in the third round
and made it his mark toward the
close, the eye by that time being
nearly shut.

ROBBERY CHARGED
BY JIMMIE BRIT.

London.-Johnny Summers, the
acme of English lightweights, won his
fight with Jimmy Britt, the California
lightweight, at the Memorial Grounds
in Westham by a clean knockout in
the ninth round.
1t was the Britisher's fight from
the first, and though Britt displayed
much of his, old-time cleverness, he
wore himself out in the first two
rounds after which it was apparent
that the California was in for good
beating.
Summers was to and 2 to 1
favorite in the betting and the Amer
ican contingent put up several thou
sand dollars on Britt at these prices.
Summers got stronger, apparently,
as the fight progressed and in the
ninth round, in answer to the cries
Of his friends for knockout, rushed
Britt = over the ring and poured in
4sa.S OF blows that soon had
Jimmy utterly helpless.
Summers cleaned up a $500 purse
and half the gate receipts by his VIC
tory.
New York.--Jimmy Britt thinks he
was robbed during the fight in Lon
don. In cablegram to New York
sporting man, received after the bat
tie, Harry Pollock, manager for Britt,
declares the American fighter was
not knocked out in the ninth round,
alleging that the English referee hur-
ried the count along until he counted
ten" much too soon. He claims
Britt was on his feet and ready to
continue the fight in 10 seconds. 1t
is probable that Britt will remain in
England and make a further effort to
fight Summers, who has already been
matched to fight Freddie Welsh for
the lightweight championship of Eng
land.

York, PA plea for the old-fash-

Kendall, of Cleveland, at the Bible
study service at the Penn Grove AS
sembly in contrasting the church OF
to-day with the church of st. Paul
The speaker deplored the introduc-

and the preference given the wealthy

churches. These things, he said,
stand in the way of many who would
otherwise join with the churches.

The domestic shipments for the
current season to the end Of June,

five per cent. in excess Of the domes-

ures.
All the cities OF the great lakes re-
port business at flood tide.
