FLYNN PUT OUT
IN EIGHTH ROUND
Sam Langford Gives Him a
Hard Beating-Win-
ner Favorite.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. March 1S.-Sam
Langford won rather quick decision
over Jim Flynn yesterday afternoon in a
bout which was slated to go forty-hve
rounds In the middle of the eighth
round Flynn fell to the floor after miss
ing right swing. and his face struck so
heavily that blood spurted from his nose
and mouth. He could not regain his feet
and was counted out by Referee Eiyton.
At nine seconds Flynn tried hard to get
up, but it was twelve seconds before he
arose to face his opponent, and the ref
cree awarded the fight to Langford. After
he was led to his corner the loser became
unconscious for about five minutes.
There was an assemblage of more than
1908 persons at the Vernon arena to
witness the match. Langford was picked
as the favorite, and there was consider
able betting on the result, the fight hold
Ing keener interest than any held here
since the Burns-O' Brien fiasco. Flynn had
considerable support owing to news
round go recently. However, there was
much even money wagered that Flynn
would not last fifteen rounds of the forty
five scheduled.
Langford established a lead in the first
round, when he had Flynn covering up
continually. and when the time ended
the latter was bleeding profusely at the
mouth. his hugging tactics not having
saved him from punishment. From this
point on it was all in favor of the negro.
Flynn clinched repeatedly, but could not
get away from Langford's punches even
with the defensive tactics. The second
round was a hugging match, but in the
third Langford went after his opponent
with all his steam and administered a
severe drubbing. Once in this round
Flynn was down for a count of seven,
and he was in distress when he went to
his corner.
The first bit of real aggressive work by
Flynn came in the next session, when he
let go some long-arm punches Langford,
however. got out of difficulty easily and
emerged apparently unhurt. The negro
broke through Flynn's guard in the fifth
and landed several telling blows, and
Flynn went into the accustomed clinches,
but in the next he came back a trifle
stronger and in a series of clinches got
the better Of Langford, who emerged
bleeding from the right eye and mouth.
The seventh round was uneventful, but in
the middle Of the next Flynn helped his
opponent to the decision by injuring him
self after missing a right swing. the force
of the blow carrying him to the mat. and
he struck on his face and was counted
out.

termined, but it is believed that COM
mittee of old students will be asked to
look after this end of the campaign.
The reason for the present being SO pro-
pitious for the starting Of a boathouse
boom is the condition of aquatic affairs
at the Hilltop school, Enough equipment
for the oarsmen has been purchased this
spring to make 1t possible for all funds
another year to be turned into the build
ing fund. while just now the enthusiasm
being shown in the sport both by the
student body and the alumni is far
greater that it has been for years. There
is also a big chance that the Blue and
Gray will be able to bring much glory to
il is generally admitted that the size.
weight and experience of the material
trying for places on the eight insure
that the school will be represented by the
speediest crew in some time.
In the event new bOathouse is built
the Old ark which has served as a home
for the oarsmen during the past four
sea sons will be placed on sale 1t Is now
I'm first class condition. and there is no
doubt that there will be a. purchaser
found without great deal of difficulty.
There are many in the city who would
like to see it commissioned for the use of
the high school lads SO that the long
sought interscholastic rowing association
might be formed with the assurance that
they would have quarters from which to
practice.
Many other matters were also taken up
at the meeting last night and building
plans of an even greater extent than the
boathouse boom were discussed. 1t was
not made public what the other proposal
was. but it was limited that some sur
prising news might be forthcoming in re-
lation to it later in the year.
1t was practically decided to make
tennis part of the regular athletic cur
riculum of the school, and a move was
started to complete the organization of a
tennis team without delay. Contests in
this sport have already been asked for by
the Navy and ST. Johns College. while
other matches could readily be made.
Class leagues came up for discussion.
and 1t was the sense of the meeting that
the5 should be strengthened, SO there
Is no doubt that the future interclass
series at the school will be more regularly
carried on than in the past. Especially
is this so in regard to the interclass
regatta. which for years was one of the
big fall events at the institution. An
other autumn will again see this affair an
important occasion.

work at bunting and the fielding of

a chance in one of the full regular games
he would be able to make good. Cross

promise Of doing. well and it began to
