FLYNN OUTPOlNTS SMITH
English Boxer No Match for
Heavyweight from Boston.

"Porlly" Flynn. the heavyweight, Of Bos-
ton. had an easy time In outpointing
"Jewey'' Smith, Of England, in a one-sided
ten-rourd bout at the National Sporting
club of America last night In only one
round did the Briton as much as hold his
own. That round was the first, in which
Flynn did little but size his man up. The
American had all the better Of height and
reach and toward the end il was the wonder
of those present how Smith asstmilated the
pounding without as much as going TO the
mat for a rest
Smith realized from the outset that his
only chance lay in penetrating the guard Of
the big Boston boxer. With that end in
view he tore bravely in, but received moth
ing but hard knocks in return for his cour-
age. "Porky" propped his charges up with
straight let's TO the head and banged his
ponderous right 10 the kidneys.
After the bout Flynn had nothing but
praise for his plucky opponent. He said:
