THERE'S ALWAYS A FIGHT
 WHEN FLYNN ENTERS RING

WREN FLYNN ENTERS RING.
 After Ib years of glove fighting jim Flynn announces that lhIs w.Il be his last year in the rms. Ha has batlled nearly all the prominent heasyweigAt boxers of his time and once fought for the champion. ship of the world Though never weighing much more than l>J pounds and never considered mucn of boxer. he has been one of the most dreaded ol all men, because of his vicious fighting instinct and rougn-and-ready ability.
 So long as he was on his feet Flynn has never acknowledged de feat, and only a knockout or inter ference by the referee or police could stop him.
 When fighting Jack Johnson at Las Vegas, N NJ, July i. 1912, 10 the worlds championship it becams necessary for Capt Fred Fornoff, Of the state mounted police, to draw his revolver and enter the ring in the ninth round. because Flynn, en- ragged by his inability to outboX the big negro. resorted to such an as sortment of rough and-tumble tactics that Johnson was appealing to Ref cree Ed Smith for protection
 Though Flynn has lost many of his contests, he has never ceased to be a drawing card, because pro moters and the public know that when Jim Flynn is one of the con, testants there is going to be some action.
 He has always been ready to ac- cept any match offered him, and was never a hard man to do bus ness with, accepting a guarantee or a percentage of the receipts a. might be suggested.
 Flynn has been under the man agement of Jack Curley for the past five years, and has been kept fai.- ly busy, prospering in all his match es except the one with Jack John sUu. For that match he trained Il weeks, lost the fight in nine rounds, and all he got for his time and trouble was Curley's automobile, which he shipped to Pueblo, Colo, and put in the jitney service. Flynn laughs about il now, but says when he was told after the fight that there was no money for him he felt like murdering everyone concerned. Johnson had been promised $50 oU0. win. lose or draw. and was paid an extra thousand for training eXpens- es. Flynn had agreed to fight for a percentage of the receipts The expected crowd failed to material ize. and il took all of the receipts to pay expenses, and it was told later that $1O,O00 of the amount due Johnson was paid by note that was afterwards torn up.
 Shortly after that fight Flynn married Miss Fannie Nedder, well known actress on the vaudeville circuit. Miss Nedder attended the fight and sat at tn" ringsido. Sha viewed the contest for five rounds without display of emotion, but al ter that she dropped her eyes to the ground and did not look at the ring again until told the contest was over From time to time dur ing the closing round she was told how the fight was going, and seemed to realize that Jim was losing, but her self-control was remarkable Flynn and his wife are now mak- ing their home at Excelsior Springs Mo, and last spring a baby boy was born to them.
 Flynn has been boxing steadily since Christmas day, when lie knocked out "One-Round" Davis at Buffalo in eight rounds; boxed Tony Ross 10 rounds on New Years day at Rochester, N. Y; Al Relcl 1G rounds on Jan 12, at Brooklyn, N. Y, and "Gunboat" Smith 10 rounds at Cincinnati O., on Feb. l,
 It has been said that Flynp right name is Andred Chiariglione or Andrew Haynes. Flynn says this IS a mistake; that his right name IS Flynn. His step-father name, however, is Haynes, and this is how the mistake occurs when re ferring to him. Flynn says the best evidence of the fact that his name is Flynn is that he is nam ing his son James Elm Flynn. That ought to settle 1t.
