Johnson, Weak,
Holds Flynn S Arms.

The eighth round was another foul
one. Flynn, who had been warned by
his seconds that Johnson had slowed
up perceptibly toward the close of the
previous three minutes lighting, tore
to close quarters the minute the bell
rang. Instead of meeting Flynn with
straight left or uppercut. Johnson
threw out his arms and clasped the
fireman. thus strengthening the sus-
picion that the pace. the altitude and
the rough work combined were having
their effect on the champions strength.
But weak as he might have been, John
son knew how to hold Flynn's arms
Flynn tugged at an effort 70 get an arm
free. and finding himself baffled, Jump

Again Johnson disappointed his
friends, who expected to see him stop
Flynns charge with blood letting
left or a swift right uppercut The big
negro threw out his arms and almost
enveloped Flynn. and finding himself
pnioned, Flynn threw discretion to the
winds and determined to get in lick
of some kind. He butted Johnson's
chin again and again and put up his
usual speech of excuse when Smith
pulled them asunder After another
spasm Of holding on Johnsons part and
butting on Flynn's, during which John
sons eyes said as plainly as words.
"Mr. Referee when are you going to
give me this fight on a foul? ?' the cap
tain of the state police and one of his
men clambered clear over the heads of
the spectators and up into the ring At
this time the referee had the heavy
weights standing apart, and the cap
tain went between them and threw
both arms aloft

this kind he said. and the crowd felt
that the battle for the championship
was at an end.
Referee Smith pondered few min
utes and then announced his decision
In favor Of Johnson for the reasons al
ready explained.
