Corbett's Protege Gives
Clever Boston Boxer a
Terrific Hiding.
By IGOE.

By lGOE.
Tom Cowler made good against Porky
Flynn at the American Sporting Club
last night. jim Corbett's big English
man gave the clever Boston boxer q
terrific hiding for ten rounds, much to
the surprise Of every one.
Truth TO tell, Tom didn't seem to
have much of look in with Flynn
when the match was made. Tom hasn't
performed we'll against the clever big
men, and Flynn is a past master at
boxing. COWler was coached from the
rngside by Jim Corbett, and he fol-
lowed instructions that made victory
easy for him.
Corbett climbed up near the ropes
as Cowler got into the ring and said
Remember what I've been telling you
for the last few days, Tom. If you
dare punch at that fellow while he i:
bundled up behind his elbows I'll take
YOU out back Of this building and whip
you myself when the fight is over. Re
member what say, now; don't punch
NJ his elbows; he's got more OF then
than centipede. When he covers
wait for him; wait. tell you, wait, and
then pop him right on the nose
"Tll 90 that, Mr.. Corbett." said
Cowler And he did. Not once did
English Tom take crack at the Bos-
ton boy while the latter WAS in
trenched behind the Bunker Hill monu-
ment. The crowd didn't like Toms de-
liberation one whit. They booed the
big fellow, but Corbett only smiled
and yelled:
Fancy that. now these people
haven't seen anything like this in
Years. 7 doubt NE much IL any Of them
ever did They don't understand that
sort OF generalship. It's a million
miles over their heads. Wouldn't Tom
bo silly loon if he banged away, while
that fellow Is covered up like clam
Brilliant ides. isn't it. 10 want you 70
break your two good bread winners on
that fellows hard funny bones"
While Corbctt gabbed. Cowler jsb-
bed. For ten long rounds Flynn was
poked on the nose relentlessly. Cow.
ie- had stream running from Flynn 5
nose and mouth as carly as the third
round.
4 word must be said OF Toms right,
lost Flynn should wake IN this morn
complete. Tom did start his big train
for Dams chin several times and on
those .cp. occasions the Hub mar was
sent flying 20 the ropes.
In the last round Tom came within
All ace of dropping Flynn. Porky was
weary and III at ease lie could hardly
raise his thousand elbows TO fortified
position. Cowler, still thinking of that
promised Corbett whipping out behind
the building, was a little too careful.
As it was. he sent Flynn up on his
heels many times with hard right
crosses.
Flynn wasn't pretty sight. The
Corbett idea Of wait and lab had ac-
complished a complete disarrangement
of poor Porsy's unique if not beautI-
full features.
Perky had only one good round. That
was the fifth, when he fairly outpointed
Tom in that chukker. Cowler scored a
knockdown in the second round that
was aided and abetted by a half slip
Of Porky's lighting shoes on a wet spot.
Flynn lost no time browsing about on
the canvas. lie lit about lightly on his
thousand elbows and bounced right up
again. 1t was indeed a Cowler night.
That he actually outboxed clever
Daniel Porkubus Flynn, Of Harvard
Town, surprised even Jim Corbett.
Benny Mccoy beat frankie Brown IN
the ten-round preliminary. Brown came
with a great rush at the end, but Nc
Coy was too many jumps in the lead.
Danny Ridge and frankie Mcclure, OF
Williamsport, closed the show. Me-
CURE won because Of cleaner and more
willing fighting.
