WISE MANAGER FLYNN

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.--Just re-
Gently, Jimmy Jones, young wei
terweight from Youngstown, won Il
referee s decision in Boston from
Dave Shade. The New York Box
ing Commission, which had pre-
viously awarded the wclterweight
championship to Shade because
Mickey Walker, the official cham
pion, would not fight, was then put
under the job of setting up a new
champion.
Leo Flynn, manager Of Shade,
was called before the commission
and asked if he could produce any
reasons to show why his fighter had
not lost the title.
Flynn is as crafty a manager as
there is in the business, rather sur
prised the commissioners when he,
with little fuss, said:
If Shade had any claim to any
kind of title he certainly blew it
when he blew that decision. Jimmy
Jones is the champion. "
Considering that the main idea
of practically every boxer and every
manager is to get title and then
hold it, the attitude taken by Flynn
in passing away championship
without an argument was surpris-
ing,
Flynn has the largest string Of
boxers in the country and his earn
ings are said to average over $780,
600 a year. He has to have some
ideas to have made such Il success
of his business and some of his
theories are unique.
"What did that title mean to
us?' he asked, in explaining his
ideas.
"Thcre are only two titles that
have any great value, the heavy
weight and the lightweight cham
pionships. The others are mainly a
bother and they cause lot Of
trouble.
"There may be some glory and
fame in being Il champion or the
manager of Il champion, but there
is lot of grief with it. Say what
they may, boxers and their mana

SAYS MANY LVE-WIRE
VICTIMS BURIED ALIVE
Vienna Scientist Shocks Medical
World by Holding Electric
ity Not Fatal.

BY Cable to The Star and Philadelphia Public
Ledger. Copyright. 1928
/ VIENNA, December 25.-Prof. Jel-
linek, head of the Vienna Electro
pathological Institute, has shocked
the medical world with the assertion
that the electric current does not kill,
but merely drives it's victims into a
trance and that hundreds of persons
have been buried alive in this condi-
tion.
Prof. Jellinek claims to have proved
by experimentation that victims can
usually be revived by artificial res
piration, this being effective even
after shocked individuals have lain
apparently dead for an entire day
Efforts to resuscitate victims, he de-
clared must never be abandoned un-
til visible signs of decay appear.
In the current number of the Wen
ma Clinic Weekly, Prof. Jellinek
pfration to revive persons shocked ito
death" fails only when begun too late
or discontinued too soon. He cites
two cases in which he was able to
revive individuals who had been def
initely pronounced dead by capable
physicians.
An 'eleven-year-old boy. apparently
who had lain a half hour without
breathing or sign of pulse, was re-
vfved after hours of artificial respira-

case was that of an electrical worker,
aged twenty-three, who received a
