 Probably the best bit of information impartcd by Flynn was that his name is Flynn after all. Every record book that has been issued since Jim became prominent in fisticuffs has set fcrth that Flynn" is merely a ring name and that Jim's real name is Chiariglion Moreover. that Jim is an Italian.
 Jim Is Not an Italian.
 Italian nothing" said Jim when questioned on this point. My father was an Irishman and my mother a German, and I guess that's evidence enough I'm no Italian. had a step-father named Chiariglion and I took his name and that is where the mistake came in My father was Irish and my real name is Flynn" It is highly probable tLat if Sam Langford had not made such an undignified rush to catch the Aus tralian steamer Langford Flynn match would have been arranged As it is there is talk of bringing Flynn and Joe Jeanette together and it may be that San Francisco will be the scene of the trouble
 Jim, it is said. has an understand ing with his manager. Jack Curley, that all footlight engagements are to go by the boards when real fight heaves in sight As said be fore he dCes not care who he signs up with and is looking forward to a crack al Jack Johnson.
 Packey Mcfarland ii is under stood, will be seen in a local ring on Thanksgiving Day. his opponent being Tommy Murphy of Harlem The match is sure to interest the lccal fans as Mcfarland is looked upon as one of the men most likely to deprive Ad Wolgast of his cham pionship laurels
 We'll See What Packey Weighs.
 As matter fact the Mcfarland Murphy affair, if it turns out the way most anticipated. will in all probability lead 10 Wolgast McFar- land bout for the worlds lightweight premiership aryund New Years time Of course there is nothing certain in pugilism any more than in any other phase of life and the McFar- land-Wolgast prospect would be spoil ed if Wolgast failed to defeat Fred die Welsh at Los Angeles this com ing Thanksgiving.
 There has been so much said about Packy McFarland's weight. or rather his difficulty in making weight, that the sports of the city are sure to make a close study of him when he hooks up with Murphy of Harlem That affair. of course. will not call for ringside weighing. but as the men will be only a few pounds above the scale some idea can be gained of the way Mcfarland would lock and perform when required to bring him self to the notch set by Wolgast.
 NEW YORK. November 17.-"One- Round Hogan eyened his score with "Knockcut' Brown tonight at the Madison Athletic club. In ten furi- ous rounds he dethroned the idol of Gotham.
 The home boy was game. but Hogan knew just a little too much. With right that seldom missed, he peppered the Dutchman nearly all of the 30-minutes. In the fourth round terrific right closed Browns right eye, and all through the fight that deadly right landed on the in jured optic.

 At times it seemed as if Browns wallops hurt Hogan. Then he would keep away, but when Brown would make a desperate rally, pop would go the right to Browns head It was simply a case of clever right hand boxer beating a fighter with a good left.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 15 The box ing commissioners of New York have at last made move to have New York rings made regulation size.
