Nursing a distorted and battered
face that bears little resemblance

Jim Flynn is recuperating at
Doyle's Vernon camp today from
the terrific mauling he received at
the hands of the African gorilla,
Sam Langford. While admitting
that he was beaten, and beaten in
the very first round of yesterdays
battle, Flynn's fighting spirit ap-
pears to be unconquered, and he
maintains still that he is Lang.

Aangford was every bit the demon

nothing but his gameness to ex-
ctse his appearance in the same
ring with the cave man without
an axe in one hand and a revolver
in the other.
After the battle Flynn's injuries
were the subject Of much discus

by Langford's terrific knockout

member. His attendants refused
to admit that the jaw was broken

final blow was struck that the
fight was over. He walked uncon.

PORTLAND, Ore. March 49,
Spokane captured but one wrest-
ling bout in the interclub boxing
and wrestling meet last night be-
tween the Multnomah Athletic club
and the Spokane Athletic club. The
feature of the evening was the
boxing bout between Cassidy of
Multnomah and O'Rourke of Spo-
kane in the 115-pound class. 1t was
probably as fast as any amateur
fight ever witnessed in this city.
Both men fought themselves into a
state Of complete exhaustion, but
Cassidy landed the decision in the
third round because he had the
hardest wallop. During the first
round O'Rourke went down for a
nine count from the effect of a
right uppercut on the jaw. In the
second round O'ROurke came back
and twice floored his man with a
right uppercut, which was his best
blow during the fight.
