BRUTAL EXHIBITION

East Las Vegas, y. NJ. July l.
I The JOhnson-Flynn 45-round fight
for the heavyweight championship
was brought to a close in the ninth
round Of the contest today by the
state police.
/ Captain Fornoff, of the state po-
lice force, was a personal represen-
tatiye at the ringside of Governor
Mcdonald. and declared that it was
no longer a boxing contest hut a
brutal exhibition, and that Fireman
Flynn's foul tactics made its ccntin-
uance impossible.
He jumped into the ring with his
deputies and drove the fighters and
officials who followed him to their
corners.
Referee Ed Smith then announced
that Johnson had won and the fight
was over.
Jim Flynn displayed no ability
during the fight. He was cut about
the face until the blood ran down his
breast in a stream.
He was utterly helpless from the
first round and by the sixth was de-
liberately trying to butt the cham
pion's chin with his head.
Time after time, as Johnson had
him powerless in clinches Flynn
jerked his head upwards. Smith
warned him repeatedly but it did
No good.
In the seventh round he began
leaping upward every time he could
work his head under Johnson's
chin. Flynn had bo'h feet off the
floor time and again. Sometimes
he leaped two feet in the air in
frantic plunges at the elusive jaw
above him. Flynn had declared that
Johnson was holding him.
Through it all Johnson was sn1il-
ing. He evaded Flynn's attacks
with ease, whether Flynn led with
his hands or head The opinion was
unanimous that he could have ended
the fight any time he fancied.
Apparently Johnson did not at
tempt to hit hard, contenting him.
self with a slow, scientific chopping,
every blow finding its way through
the barricade Of gloves and elbows
behind which Flynn crouched.
The fight was utterly lacking in
interest. There was not a cheer
throughout the contest A general
.opinion at the ringside was that
Flynn was eager to be disqualified.
Flynn rushed to his camp after the
fight. He had nothing to say.
Beyond a cut inside the lower lip,
Johnson was unmarked.

every possible influence to bear to
have the request for his resignation

BY noon the hotel, the refresh

banks OF the Arroyo Colorado We're
crowded with people. The chief d.
version Of the day for the majority
OF the people was sitting on the
banks and applauding the stunts
of those who were in the water.
In the afternoon there were free

every one who could swim and could
obtain a bathing suit was considered
eligible. There was ball game be-

strip Of level road and raced horses.
A sport that probably attracted
more attention than any on the
ground was the attempts by large

ernoon and no one had succeeded In

 Luck is all right. but To make even that successful. in undertakings of nature that Captain Amundsen In, dulges in. requies 1t to be backed up with skill energy. pluck. grit. ambi- lion. an iron will. and strong char acter with cast iron constitution. All of these qualifications Explorer Am undsen possesses. hence he Is entitled to luck as his achievements of sue cess are styled by few who do not grasp the scope of his undertakings.
 The difference between success and failure often lies In q mere 's" 1t is n the possession of nerve or nerves. optimism also adds 10 the ultimate victory of those who would succeed. We recall Captain Amundsen who was with us a little less than six years water. He always looked upon tho bright side Of life as he found it, his lace In repose has a trace of q suils.

Sir Robert Me Clurc. who in 1S50-54 forced the same passage from the Bcring sea side on through to tho Atlantic. We also have in mind that many men have sacrificed their lives trying to attain the same honor from Heudrick Hudson to Sir John Franklin. for whose body and grave containing the records many expeditions were fitted out. We have one man right here in Nome who wsa a member of one of the expeditions that went North in search of Sir John Franklin. and from stATies related by this person we can form some idea of what people forcing that passage have to contend with.
 Captain AmundseH spent two years near the north magnetic pole. and from actual observations determined its correct position in King Williams Land not far from the point assigned to it by Sir James Ross In 1881. These are mreely side light on the ability of tho Lucky Scandinavian" to teach our readers that our contention In his case luck" is just an alias of pluck
