v Pueblo Jim Flynn, heavyweight
trial horse, has run his string. Jim
Coffey, "the Dublin Giant," knocked
him out in the fourth round at New
York last night. Flynn was floored
seevral times before thev flnjsh and
twice took the count.
Coffey is not a world beater and his
easy victory marks the passing of
Flynn.
Spike Kelly knocked Walter1 Bau
man out in the second round at Madi
son, Wis. The fight was a short pro
cession for Kelly and it was only a
question of how long Bauman would
last.
Joe Mandot has been matched to
fight Johnny Griffiths of Akron ten
rounds at Racine the night of May 6.
Griffiths is a speedy young man and
he and Mandot should put on -a hot
battle, with each having an even
chance.
A strike has been declared by work
men at the Brooklyn Fed park and it
is feared the structure will not be
ready for the opening May 11.

inquiries were heard as to why that
guy Johnston was on the team.
These unkind remarks rankled in
the heart of the Southerner. He is
sensitive and feels deeply all criti
cism of his playing ability. So in the
ninth inning young Jimmy proceeded
to show the natives why he, was wear
ing a big league uniform.
There was one out and Uhlir was
running for Clarke because Bill
Sweeney had made an error. Gon
zales, another of the numerous in
ternationals with the Reds, soaked
a long fly to deep Center. Johnston
took Up his station in the path of the
