BARROW APPOINTS
THREE NEW MEN
ON UMPIRE STAFF

Another fine crop of rumors was
Matched yesterday at the wind-up
meeting of the International Leaguers
held at the Hotel Victoria, in New
York. The magnates themselves were
in session for only very short time.
during which they agreed to establish
a sinking fund in case some of the
clubs get into financial stress in the
future.
President Ed Barrow announced
several changes in his umpires' staff.
appointing three new men, Jack
O'Toole. of the Western League: E..
c. Quigley, of the New York State
League, and Gerald Hayes, of the
American Association.
Their was much surprise when Um-
pire Jones Murray, for seven years
a member of the leagues staff, an
nounced that President Barrow had
failed to reengage him for the COM
ing season after a debate over his
1918 salary. Murray stated that he
had umpired in the league seven sea-
sons and had never missed a game
until last year, when sickness kept
him away for a fortnight. Murray
has an offer from the Pacific League
for next season.
The only other announcement Bar
row had to make was a statement
that in the future visiting clubs
would pay for passes issued while on
the road.

FLYNN MASHED TO PULP
BY M'CARTY'S WALLOPS

Los ANGELES, Cal. Dec. 11.--Lu-
ther McCarty. of Springfield, Mo-,
won the heavyweight championship
elimination contest at Vernon last
night from Jim Flynn, the Pueblo
fireman. The battle ended in the six
teenth round. when, after Flynn had
gone down twice and appeared help
less, 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
Flynn's Great Vitality.
At that time it seemed certain that
he would go out, but his remarkable
vitality, persisting after twelve years
of ring battles, remained with him
until the middle of the sixteenth.
Then the referee, hardening to loud
cries of "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 heavy blows
of his youthful opponent. The first
time Flynn remained down nine sec
onds. He arose staggering. and
straight half-arm blows, the thud of
which could be heard throughout the
crowded arena, sent him sprawling
again for the finish. He got UP COM

proclaiming McCarty the winner.

AS a reward of his victory, in ad-
dition to the purse. McCarty will
meet AL Palzer in the Vernon ring
for a heavyweight championship
battle of twenty rounds on. New
Years Day.
McCarty, after the fight, left the
ring smiling and practically un-
marked. AS Flynn dragged himself,
with the assistance of his seconds,
from the ring, his face was so puffed
that he hardly could open his mouth
and great sllts over his eyes oozed
blood.
Betting at the ringside was at even
money.
McCarty carried the fight to Flynn
throughout the first round, and the
fireman spat blood as he went to his
corner.
McCarty continued to force the

lively. Near the end of the round
Flynn was staggered by a series of
rights and lefts to the face, and ap-
peared groggy. He came up with a
rush in the third, but Mccarthy
stopped him with a stinger that drew
blood from the fireman's nose and
forced him to stall.
Flynn evened 1t up in the fourth,
rushing McCarty repeatedly and
hooking him with an uppercut that
rocked the Missourian's head.
The fifth was a hammer-and- -tongs
affair, ending with fierce mix-up in
the centre of the ring In the sixth
Flynn staggered McCarty with a left
swing that sent him against the
ropes.
Some Hard Fighting.
The seventh. bitterly contested
throughout, ended with honors even
they went to their corners. and the
succeeding rounds We're tame. In the
tenth McCarty landed a hard right
to the jaw, putting the veteran down
for the count of nine. Flynn arose
groggy and hung on. Following up
this advantage, the Missourian
dropped Flynn for a second and third
time, but the fireman made a re-
markable rally and lasted out the
round.
McCarty tried hard to end it in
the tenth, but Flynn showed strong
recuperative powers, and held his
heavier opponent fairly even. Badly
battered and rushing blindly. Flynn
went through the eleventh, rocked re-
peatedly by the blows that McCarty
landed almost at will. 1t was the
same in the twelfth, the fireman's
stamina arousing the wonder of the
crowd
Flynn kept boring in in the thir-
teenth, swaying his head under the
fusillade of blows that McCarty
rained upon his puffed and bleeding
face The next two rounds went the
same way, the Missourian having his
antagonist at his mercy. but lacking
the driving power to stop him.
Flynn seemed almost helpless when
at the outset of the sixteenth he was
sent down for the count of nine, and
when a moment later a smash to the
jaw dropped him for the second time
Referee Eyton stopped the fight and
declared McCarty the winner.
