box the 10 rounds at lively clip and
let her go at that They know each
other too well, having met many
times, to settle matters so quickly. 1t
is certainly pretty soft for the present
day Scrappers to go into these short
bouts and get the money compared to
20 and 25 years ago when they We're
obliged to fight real championship bat
ties to a finish As stated above, I
don't favor finish fights, but L do
believe in at least 20 rounds for con-
tests where a title is at stake.
It is not amiss just to state that some
of the fighters shift the weights in
the various classes to suit their own
convenience. Mike Gibbons claimed
the welterweight championship when
he had absolutely no right to 1t be-
cause he could not make the recoz-
nized Weight--145 pounds rlngSlde or
142 at o'clock Recently Mike an
nounced that he was through with the
Welterweight class because he had
grown too big for it and that in the
future he would take on middle
weights and make bid for the mid
Ieweight title. Then the ST. Paul boy
discovered that he did not gain the
weight expected by good lay off, that
he only tipped the scales at 151 pounds,
and that he proposed to stick TO the
weIters and retain the championship
By what right has he TO the title at
151 or $50 pounds? None whatever, but
it sounds well in arranging matches
to have title to go with It l DO not
want to underrate Gibbons ability as
a fighter for ne is a great boxer
without q doubt, but it is simply used
as an illustration to show what meth
DDS are followed these days. Mike is
not the only one who does this same
thing, but he is in the limelight just
now on account of his recent state
ment that he would turn middleweight-
1t will be the same thing with Packey
Mcfarland should he win from Ad
Wolgast, for Packey would immedi-
ately boost the weight to 1S5 pounds
All these arguments only demonstrate
more than ever the necessity for
uniform set of weights for all coun-
tries.
Notwithstanding the declarations on
the part of Michael that he would re-
tain the WelterWeight title his man
ager, Edward Reddy. writes me that
he is not going to side-step any of the
middleweights at 15S or 160 pounds, but
he draws the line at McGoorty just
now. He figures on getting Kid Wag-
ner, new conner in Philadelphia, at
between $50 and 100 and also Frank
Manten at 1873, besides Jack Harrison,
the English title holder, at 100 pounds
Mike will outpoint the entire bunch
without the slightest trouble over the
10 or Is round route, but if the pro-
moters want a real match for Gibbons
let them get McGoorty or Jimmy Clab-
by. Clabby and Gibbons are of the same
weight, both clever and able to hit
with either hand. It is the best match
for Mike, but the 20 round route is
what it should be over.

jim FLYNN MAKES
BIG FIGHTER QUIT
Miller Refuses to Toe the
Scratch For the 10th
Round.

San Francisco, Cal. Sept. 3.-Putting
a cyclonic finish to cautious, well
judged early pace, Jim Flynn, OF
Pueblo, was declared the winner of
his battle with Charley Miller at Col
ma when the big San Franciscan re-
fused to leave his corner and toe the
scratch for the 18th round
Miller gamely stayed through the
his ribs had been fractured and that
he was hardly able to walk, he 1g-
nored the reckoning gong for the 16th-
The motorman's condition was plainly
such that he could not continue 1t was
whispered at the ringside that the po-
lice were about to draw the curtains
on the scene.
With the exception Of some of the
earlier rounds, Flynn outfought his
former sparring partner and admins
tered a severe beating to the cham
ship aspirant. He closed Miller's LETT
eye and drew blood from the face more
than once. During the last five rounds
he had the big fellow wobbly por-
ton Of the time and on four occasions
nearly scored a bulls eye by dropping
Miller.
Miller was willing at all times and
forced the fighting through many OF
the rounds. He stood and exchanged
punch for punch with Flynn and start
ed several rallies that brought the
crowd to its feet yelling. Flynn used
an effective right uDpercut and 1olted
Miller with head punches. He landed
frequently on the body, but took few
chances in registering his blows,
During the 10th round, after Miller
had beaten Flynn around the ring IN
one Of the sensational rallies, he stood
and looked at the fireman and then
said. smilingly: Gee. Flynn, I've got
TO give it to you. You're a tough guy
Flynn weighed about 1Sz pounds and
Miller was down TO 2iS ringside. Spi-
der Kelly refereed.

Of a limited 10 rounds? To hear what
some OF the champions and near cham
mons have to say regarding the matter
me would imagine that all the fights
OF the future are to be arranged and
decided that way. There have been
many columns printed OF late about
a proposed championship battle be-
tween Mike Gibbons. the clever st.
Paul $50 FOUNDER, and Eddie Nc
Goorty one of the claimants to the
middleweight crown, the same to be
staged in New York City and the num-
her of rounds to be 10. Gibbons has
come out in a statement announcing
that he would not meet McGOorty un-
less ne got his price for a championship
battle.

Goss, Joe Goddard, Bob Fitzsimmons
and John l. Sullivan, not counting
numerous other stars Of a decade ago,
limit placed at 10 roundS2 Not on
your lifel 1t is all right for Gibbons
and all the rest of the present-day
stars to talk about 10 round contests
and all that, but when they begin TO
advertise themselves as championship
affairs it is going a bit beyond the
limit. And besides no decision IS given
in any of these contests, unless there
should happen to be knockout by
either one.
The fighters of today are not salts
fled with trying TO commemorative the
boxing game TO such an extent that the
followers are beginning to distrust the
honesty of it but they want TO make
10 round. no-decision contests appear
as championship events. 1t is time TO
call a halt 1 believe in limiting the
number OF rounds in all boxing
matches and figure that the 20 round
limit for bouts where the champion
ship is at stake is about right, Dut
never the six or 10 round affairs The
British boxing authorities for years
have set the limit for championship
matches at 20 rounds and they are
pretty near hitting the nail on the
head It is also practically the same
with the recently proposed Johnson
Jeanette match in New York 1t was
advertised as a championship match by
the papers and that is probably what
started a lot of agitation against 1t,
although the boxing commission would
no doubt have taken the action they
did Irrespective Of these reports.
However, the match was nothing
more than the regulation 10 round con-
test permitted by the state law. and as
the members of the commission stated
'the bout was stopped for the good Of
the sport" As to whether either
Johnson or jeanette could have scored
a decisive victory in that time Of
course was an open question, but it
was a 10 to one bet that the boxers
would never have done other than to

TO advantage only in the infighting. In
the closing rounds, MandOt even out

Mandot solved RiTers's defence early
in the bout landing straight let's TO
the face almost continuously without a
return. In the eighth he began rock

succeeding rounds he followed this
style of attack. He showed great cleF-

R. 0. U. Am. TO MEET
Seventeenth Annual Session of State
Council to be Held Next Week
at LyndOnviIIe.

The members of the Junior Order
United American Mechanics are look
ing forward to Thursday of next
week with considerable interest as
on that day occurs the 18th State
Council meeting at Lyndonville. The
meeting this year will be one of
great interest not only to the mem
bership but the public generally.
The order has been planning this
year to hold q grand celebration in
connection with the state council
meeting and for some time posters
have been out announcing the gener-
al program of the day. There will
be two sessions of the state council
at which reports of the work for the
past two years will be rendered by
the various officers, following will
come such proposals for changes in
the laws as the membership desire,
then the nomination of officers for the
coming term. The afternoon session
will be given over to general discus
sion, the election and installation of
officers. At seven o'clock in the
evening will come the first grand
street parade ever held by this
order in this state. 1t is expected
that more than 500 men will be in
line headed by the Lyndonville and
Glover bands. 1t is promised that
there will be plenty of red fire and
beautiful decoration to give to the
parade both color and brilliancy.

tional legislative committee who has
been in Washington all last

there will be several past national

This will be a grand affair and fully
