National Western Stock Show.

Denver.-The annual National West
ern Stock Show is the next big event
for Denver. 1t is expected that the
show in January will bring to Denver
over 10000 people from outside of the
city. The railroads have made low
rates from all parts OF the West. The
coming show will be in four complete
departments, the Stock Show, the Ma
tional Western Horse Show. the Ma
tional Western Poultry Show and the
Feed and Forage Show. In addition
to these plans are being made to pro-
vide concession space to merchants
and manufacturers who desire to make
an industrial display. Preparations
are already under way, and from the
way entries are coming in there is ev-
cry reason to believe that the exhibits
will be larger than in any previous
year. The West is commencing to get
into the game with pure bred cattle.
and at the coming show there will be
six herds of Herefords and four herds
of Shorthorns from Colorado and
Wyoming alone.

PORKY FLYNN BEATS
SLOW jim BARRY

Many fans who visited the Twentieth
Century Athletic Club in New York
last night thought Jim Barry. of Chit
cago, who has been under the care Of
Tom Sharkey, would eat up Porky
Flynn in the main event at that club.
But when the ten rounds we're up
Barry had not taken even a nibble off
the Boston mans reputation. Barry
was doped as the real white hope"
but Johnson would probably have to
cut an arm off If Barry has a chance
TO defeat him.
Flynn was no whirlwind last night,
but he showed enough to beat two
like the Windy City man. Flynn was
too clever for his opponent. His main
punch was a left and right uppercut,
which he scored repeatedly without re-
turn. Barry depended upon his great
strength to win. Flynn seemed to be-
a little weak at the end, and 1t seemed
Barry would give him a great run in
a longer battle.
The first round proved to be about
even, but after that il was Flynn all
the way. In the sixth, with both mix
ing it hard, Barry saw an opening and
with his right landed on the side of
his opponents head, knocking him
down. Flynn was down for about seven
seconds, but he quickly got up and
went after the Chicagoan like a demon
Barry went down in the seventh, and
in the eighth Flynn la a similar mis-
hap on the slippery floor.
