JAMES F. O'HARA MAY
INVADE DIXIE LAND

Word was received here today to
the effect that James +. O'Hara and
G. ID. Bryan, owners of the Bowie
race course. and several others have
invaded the territory of New Or
leans, and will open a mile course
contiguous to that city. The track
is being put in shape. and it will
follow the meeting at Bowie, which
starts in November. 1t is the OBJ
ject of the new owners to begin the
meeting in New Orleans on Thanks
giving Day. This will enable horse
men to ship direct from Bowie to
the Crescent City.
Many horsemen who are here have
expressed a willingness to race at
the new course.
As to Messrs. O'Hara and Bryan
it might be said that they are the
most popular racing men on the
American turf. Mr.. O'Hara is known
to horsemen as being the srAarest
and biggest-hearted man in the busi-
ness. The same can be said OF Mr.
Bryan.

STEVE FLESSNER IS,
FLOORED BY ROSNER
Baltimore Fly-weight Is Beaten All
the Way. but Gotham Battler
Leaves the Ring.

Baltimore, Nd. August 15.-Another
boxing fiasco was staged tonight here
when Johnny Rosner, OF New York,
the American fiyweight champion, af-
ter knocking Steve Flessner down in
the first round. walked from the ring,
claiming that the refereen's count was
slow and insisting he had scored a
knockout.
As the arbiter had counted only
eight while Flessner was on the floor
the Baltimorean was given the de-
cision, inasmuch as Rosner had for
feited all his rights by leaving the
ring. Teh end of the mill came at
the conclusion of the fifth round,
while Fiessner was scramblIng to his
feet and making for the ropes, the
bell sounded for the minutes rest.
DR.. Weinberg, who is the official
timekeeper for the American Athletic
Association, and has had considerable
experience at the job, asserted that
he had yelled to the handlers Of the
boxers that only ten seconds of the
round remained, just an instant be-
fore the knockdown. There is no
doubt that the referees count was a
trifie slow because he warned Rosner
to return to his corner, instead of
walking around the PROSTATE Fles-
sner. as his arm moved up and down
with the count. The arbiter probably
lost a second by shouting his warn
ings to the New York battler, but
Weinberg's stated that only the
seconds OF the round remained before
Steve sank to the Rosin.
Jeffries' explanation Of his action
in declaring Flessner the winner
follows:
II had to disqualify Rosner be-
cause he left the ring. I warned
him to go to his corner while
counted. because the rules of the
police department specifically state
that a boxer after scoring a knock
down must go to his corner and
remain until his opponent has either
regained his feet or been counted
out
That the bell rang during the
excitement there is no doubt and
several of the ringsiders stated that
they heard Weinberg call OF as usual
when only ten seconds remained.
this being done to enable the ham
dlers of the boxers to get their
chairs and other paraphernalia
ready. But, while Flessner was
handed the laurels everyone must
admit that he met his master.
Rosner surely would have trimmed
Steve. for his punches had far great
er power. The Gothamite stood up
under the blows OF the Baltimorean
and did not seem to be injured. but
while Steve scored the points his
adversary did the damage.
