And this was significant point for
those who knew Johnson and know of
his past battles and past spells of
training. knows that when he was him
self he never allowed any one to take
liberties with him. An extra hard
punch either in a practice bout or in
a real fight brought retaliation from the
champion in the shape of Volley of
hooks and uppercuts. But here today
he allowed man lighter and several
inches shorter than him to take liber-
ties with him. IL he had followed his

Johnson good. He was not laughing
now. nor was he standing straight as
he generally is when waiting to receive
an opponent. He bent forward with his
arms poked well out and met Flynn's
rush with a straight left that caused
the tireman's head to snap back. Flynn
rushed and rushed again and every

BIG CROWD SEES BILLS
DEFEAT THE CRACKERS
BY Percy H. Whiting.

PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, July 4.
The Bills won the afternoon game
splendid holiday crowd was out TO
witness the second contest. almost every
office and store in town having closed
down for the GLORIOUS Fourth and the
fans and fanesses made Poncy the rem
devious for the afternoon.
From the looks of the stands and the
bleachers&the big prize fight was either
unknown or unthought of by the crowds
which kept coming in after The gates
were opened.
By the time the first half Of the inning
was over the crowd of fans in front of
the stands numbered nearly a thousand.
The game was delayed while for the
two team managers to get together as to
ground rules rope was stretched
across center field to keep the crowd
back, and the overflow was sent TO that
place.
BY the time the game was called the
crowd had overflowed the stands and the
bleachers ana were overflowing in the
field.
Manager Dobbs changed his lineup a
bit for the afternoon game, putting Crib
bens behind the bat and johnson in right

foully. Johnson held on and gave the
mute appeal at the referee across
Flynn's head, and Smith promptly spit
them apart. This time Smith warned
both men Flynn for using his head in
an unauthorized manner. and Johnson
for holding on instead OF breaking and
fighting back. The rest of the round
was a repetition Of the sixth.
1t looked two or three times as if
the referee was about to stop the fight
and render a decision. but he probably
balanced JoAnson's holding against the
other mans butting and allowed the
thing to go on. 1t seemed reasonab bly,

Flynn Rushes
Johnson to Rope.

BY the way Flynn rushed from his
corner it was apparent that he had seen
evidence of Johnson weakening in the
preceding rounds The fireman tore
at his quarry like a bull at a gate and
had johnson against the ropes before
Johnson had taken two steps from his
corner Johnson clasped Flynn's fore
arms and leaned his elbows in the hol
low of Flynn's arms in such a way that
tvnn was as powerless as a man hand
cuffed. Flynn lurched and twisted vio-
lently in his efforts to free himself and
finding he could not do so. used his
head as battering ram on Johnson's
throat and chin
Johnson still held on and glanced
appea.ingy at the referee. And in the
meantime Prof Watson Burns. the
champions principal second. jumped
upon the ring ledge and shouted at
smith: Cant you see that Flynn is
butting?"
johnson added his voice to that OF
Burns and there was a look of con-
cern in the champions eyes.
Referee Smith pulled the men apart
and shook a warning finger at Flynn.

Yelled eXcitedly: He's holding me; he's
holding; why don't you make him quit
and fight as a champion should?"
smith turned TO Johnson and told
nim that the charge against him was
true and that while he was not as
culpable in the manner of unfair fight
ing as his opponent, he was certainly
departing from the agreement that had
oeen entered into as to fair stand
up boxing match.

They both transgressed the
.ules. johnson by holding and
flynn by butting, but Flynn was
The greater offender. The decision
was given to johnson because he
aad the better of the fighting up
to that time They agreed fully a
week ago that if there was any IN
erfercnce Of any kind, the man In
he lead at the time the bout was
stopped was to be declared the
winner.
That johnson had scored the most
punches and had brought the most
blocd vas something that could not be
denied. but that he looked winner at
the time OF the interference is a differ
ent matter. It was the opinion of the
majority Of the spectators that if FLYNN
could have kept his temper and fought
cleanly he could have worn Johnson
down.
FLYNN was evidently the better train
ed OF the pair He was full of fight
and ginger at all times. while John
son. with grin on his face. stalled for
fully balf round BY the time the
sixth round was started. Johnson was
q somewhat bedraggled champion His
Stamina had been affected by the con
slant pegging Of Flynn's gloves against
his stomach and it was noticed that
he no longer maintained the ldiotic
grin which he wore in the preceding
