EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M, July
Sit was a Disguised crowd OF
fight fans that boarded trains for
their homes today after having
witnessed the Johnson-Flynn
heavyweight fight yesterday,
which most of them characterized
as the poorest exhibition for
prize fight they had seen In many
a day.
Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman,
battered and beaten at all stages
of the contest, evidently attempt
ed to force the referee to give
Johnson the contest on a foul.
He was repeatedly warned against
using foul tactics in butting the
champion, until Captain Fred
Fornoff of the state mounted po-
lice jumped into the ring and
stopped the battle. Captain For
noff said he did so because 1t was
no longer prize fight" but had

brutal exhibition.

rifle beating he received, Flynn 8

bore not a mark of the so-called
battle except two slightly pulled
lips which he received when Flynn
deliberately butted him in the

that he had been robbed, there

life They will thus try to force har-
mony between the Roosevelt and Taft
forces.
