Johnson-Flypn
Films Cause
Arguments

The Johnson-Flynn prize fight
pictures at the Dream theater are
perhaps exciting more comment
than any other fight pictures ever
displayed in Tacoma. Every aft
ernoon and night the sidewalk In
front of the picture house on Q
near 9th street, is crowded with
fight followers who are fighting
again the battle, arguing as to
which had the better Of the tus-
sic.
Perhaps no two fans will think
the same regarding the fight. The
fan who has seen the pictures
twice has caught more detail than
the fan who has casually witness
ed the films for the first time.
B. Il. Woody, however, who was
at the ringside and who associat-
ed with r. G. Montgomery in dis
playing the pictures in Washing
ton and British Columbia, de-
clares that If the fight mad gone
forward Flynn would nave easily
won the battle.
The rather disgusting features,
the butting of Flynn. ne says,
were in a manner legitimatized
by the holding of Johnson VINO
became worried when he found
he could not pass over the sleep
producing punch. Flynn, says Mr..
Woody, fought as he said he
would fight, for the smokes stom-
ach and wind and kept boring IN.
Both complained of the foul tao
tics of his adversary and both
had to be cautioned. He be-
lieves that when Johnson found
he could not slip over Lne sleeper
he did all in his power to stop
the fight through making Flynn
appear the aggressor in unfair
tactics.
Now that johnson is to tight
McVey. or is under conr~e: to
fight him, the pictures are OF dou-
BILE interest and import.

Marion, where, after many re-
bluffs he was permitted to pitch

bought him, while the Cubs were

Cooper may not be as sensa-

his record has bidders after him.
He has good speed. a fine curve.

is just about ripe for the fastest

added another shutout to his
string of victories yesterday
when he held the Tigers to six
hits with admirable support.
Ralph Churchill, the new Tiger
from the tall timber. held Port
land down to six hits and would
have won his game but for the
lapse In batting by the rest of
the Tacoma team.
II was a pitchers battle from
start to finish with honors even.
Churchill started out little
weak in the first frame when
Portland showed over a run. Kib-
BILE made the only score, going
safe to first when Holderman
fumbled his grounder and
Churchill did not cover first in
time to receive the fielded ball.
Kibble stole second and scored
on Speas' scratch hit down the
third base line.
In the ninth inning the Tigers
made a strong bid to tie the score
when Lynch singled to right, was
sacrificed to second and third
and Hall threw the game away
by driving a grounder direct into
the first baseman's hands. Twice
the Tigers had men on second but
quick fielding and poor batting
failed to push them over the rub

search the records of baseball,

manager and outrlelder of the
Appleton club, was playing ball
full quarter of a century ago.

Corridor has lost his timidity.
He is strong on hard hit balls or

ground-covering infielders in the
American association and goes

sold to Pueblo, in 1908. He went
to Lincoln in 1909. At the end
