Flynn Loses
(Contiued from Page OneD

ing his right to the jaw This nettled
the Negro and he cut loose with shoot
arm uppercuts to the jaw Johnson
bied slightly from the mouth as he
emerged from mid-ring mix I'D, but
Flynn spat blood in stream as the
champion cut his mouth with volley
of rights and lefts. /
Fourth Round-Flynn rushed in
close and met with the customary rain
OF right and left uppercuts to the
lace. AT that 1T seemed as if John
son was holding himself in check. He
shook Flynn with few stomach taps
scarcely trying to protect his body
from Flynns attacks. Johnson con-
stantly showed his stomach and caused
him to blaze which convulsed the
spectators. Flynn earned a great
cheer when he rushed johnson to the
ropes and planted a solid left to the
jaw. The round ended with Flynn's
face covered with blood
Fifth Round-Johnson nodded to
the spectators and hardly noticed his
white antagonist. Flynn banged away
at the stomach, by this time Johnson
covered up and shot four lefts to the
face in quick succession varying it
with left uppercut to the jaw. Flynn
at close range sent half dozen punches
on Johnson's stomach, but Johnson
only smiled and again made no ap-
parent attempt to protect his mid sec
ton. Johnson aroused the crowd TO
merrlment by releasing Flynns hold
and clasping his own gloves together
| like a happy school girl. II can't
tight while he's holding me-" shouted
FLYNN, protesting to the referee. The
round ended then with Johnson hold
ing a running conversation with his
| wife and seconds
Sixth Rounds-Flynn butted with
his head three times and complained
that Johnson made it justifable bv
holding him. Flynn was severely
reprimanded for deliberately butting
the champion. Flynn tried to find a
| loophole to stem the beating given
MIN. johnson dazed the fireman with
his speed landing a left and a right
to the jaw. He's holding me was
flynn's cry. Johnson maddened and
landed a volley of straight left and
right punches to the face fairly be-
Wildering Flynn, then he stopped
himself, apparently with view to
lprolonging the contest. Flynns sec
onds also warned him to cease but
ting when he sat down.
Seventh Round-Johnson landed
fully a dozen rapid fire right and lefts
to the fireman's face and at the same
time placed himself in a position TO
Withstand Flynn's butting tactics.
Wait minute" cried Johnson to q
spectator who had shouted for him
to end it. Flynn bled profusely from
the nose as Johnson beat a tattoo
with left and rights to that organ.
Flynn failed to land glove on the
champion, the blacks defense proving
lmpregnable. Johnson made the blood
on his bewildered opponent. There
was not drop Of blood on Johnson
as he took his seat
Eighth Round--F'lynn again tried
to butt and was warned. The round
was very much like it's predecessors
with Johnson uppercutting and Flynn
butting viciously at the same time
losing a world Of blood. Flynn was
helpless in the champions hands and
for the tenth time in this round was
warned, the referee adding: "Once |
more and I'll disqualify you" John
son held the fireman at arms length. |
Ninth Hound-They spared and |
clinched. Flynn jumped with his foot
in the air and butted Johnson in the |
chin. Captain Cowles, New Mexico
State police stepped into the ring and |
stopped the fight. Referee Smith de-
clared Johnson winner.
