THE FLYNN MCCARTHY FIGHT.
"details of Fight Last Week Which
Decided Palzer's Opponent for
New Years Day Worlds Cham
pionship Match.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 11.-Luth-
er McCarty of Springfield, Mo-, won
the heavyweight championship elm
ination contest at Vernon last night
from Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman.
The battle ended in the sixteenth
round, when after Flynn had gone
down twice and appeared helpless,
Referee Eyton stopped the fight and
declared McCarty the winner.
Flynn took an awful beating and
never had a chance against the Mis-
souri, white hope" Savage smashes
ON the jaw sent him down three times
in the ninth round. At that time it
seemed certain that he would go out,
but his remarkable vitality, persist
ing after twelve years of ring battles,
remained with him until the middle
of the sixteenth. Then the referee,
hearkening to the vociferous cries to
stop it, that had begun in the ninth
round, raised McCarty's right glove
and proclaimed him the winner.
The end came when Flynn had
gone down twice under the ponderous
smashes of his youthful opponent.
The first time Flynn remained down
nine seconds. He arose staggering.
and straight, half-arm blows, the
thud of which could be heard through
the crowded arena, sent him sprawl
ing again for the finish. He got up
complaining and denouncing Eyton
for proclaiming McCarty the winner.
AS a reward of his victory last
night, in addition to the purse, Nc
Carly will have AL Palzer of DEBORAH,
Iowa, in the Vernon ring for heavy
weight championship battle of twen-
ty rounds on New Years day.
Unknown a few months ago, and
but a glimmering hope" even after
he had disposed of Kaufman, McCar-
ty has placed himself in view of
Champion Jack Johnson's supposed
Ell. mination, in direct line for the
heavyweight title. He left the ring
smiling and practically unmarked,
declaring later that while he never
made predictions as to the outcome
of fights, he did not believe Palzer
was as fast as Flynn.
lynn was pitiable spectacle as
he dragged himself with the assist
ance of his seconds from the ring.
His face was so pulled that he could
hardly open his mouth, and from
despite the repeated application Of
collodion.
Flynns chances of winning disap-
peared almost as soon as the men
squared away for the first round. He
could not reach mccarthy while the
Missourian hit him at will McCarty
eluded him, rushed easily and planted
resounulng blows wherever he want
ed to land them McCarty' s 2 best
blows were straight lefts and upper
cuts that almost invariably went flush
to the fireman's jaw. Flynn, however,
seldom backed up. When he did give
ground, it was only for moment
and then he rushed in for more. Jim
Flynn met man against whom his
savage infighting was futile. Time
after time he rushed and failed rights
and lefts, but the youngster was too
strong for him and the veteran was
almost helpless. Flynn showed his
old time form only in flashes. Nc
earthly. throughout, fought cool,
heady battle.

The KORNGOLDLECTURE
Socialist Lecturer Here Saturday
Night Declared Movement Was
Greatest Agent of Peace.

1t was declared by Ralph Korngold,
the lecturer who appeared here Sat
urday night at Assembly hall as the
concluding number on the Socialist
lecture course, that the socialist move
ment was the greatest modern agent
of universal peace. Mr.. KorngoId is
an interesting speaker and held the
attention of his audience from the time
OF his introduction until he had con-
Guided.
He called attention to the work of
Mayor Seidel of Milwaukee and prais-
ed Cong. Victor L. Berger, who declar-
ed is the only working class repre-
sentative In congress. Regarding the
keynote of his lecture, which empha-
sized the socialist movement as an
agent OF peace he said:
w cannot except a genuine move
ment for peace from the powers which
profit by war. Those who are feeling
so enthusiastic about the Hague Trib-
unal, had better remember that it was
called into being by the bloody czar of
Russia, who since then, at home as
well as abroad, has given ample proof
of his insincerity. A manufacturer OF
steel arrnor plate is also hardly the
ideal peace advocate. War is useful
to the men who control our industries
today for various reasons, the princi-
pal Of which is that it makes trade
brisk, opens up new markets for he
surplus products of labor. 1t also
takes the Workingman's minds OF the
injustice that is being done to them at
home. The working people are the
only ones who have nothing to gain
and everything to lose by a war. 1t is
therefore from the working people, or
ganized into the labor unions and the
socialist party that a real peace move
ment is to be expected. War will
q when the working people refuse
to do the fighting"
