Jim Flynn a Good T rial Horse For All Aspiring Heavyweights If Jim Flynn. the fighter, who surprised sur-prised the sporting world by his defeat de-feat of Al Kaufman in Kansas City recently, re-cently, had been born with a physical frame in proportion to his heart he probably would have been a champion. Tn a way he is tho Joe Choynski of his time, tliouch probably never the fighter fight-er Joo was. Like Joe, however, he has fought them all, big and little, and there is always one thing certain about Flyunt he spectators will see a battle uny timo he crawls through the ropes. Flynn. whose real name is Andrew Ohiariglioue nnd who is Irish-Ttalian, is no longer a young fellow as fighters go. He is about 30 and has been fighting fight-ing steadily for nearly ton years. lie never weighs over 1G8 and came into the game at n time when the big men were too .good for him. IIo has fought and been defeated by Johnson and Langford, the latatur giving him three battles. He has mot Billy Papke and nearly all the other middle and light heavyweights of his lime with van-in." results. " " Flynu himself declares that the onJy time ho laid a hand on Johnson in thoir elevenTrotind fight was when they shook hnntls. They kept up a running lire of conversation throughout the session, Flynn abusing the big black and Johnson John-son good naturedly .joking his small an-tagonist an-tagonist "You 'awful, strong foh :i lil ' white hoy," Johnson would remark, and Flynn would :ins-rver him with bitterness bitter-ness until finally his talk got on the big fellow's nerves, and he laid Flynn away. The wch'terner is a great trial horse for aspiring heavyweights. He is 'stron' and rugged and always makes a rush" nig fight. Not much of a boxer, ho knows a good deal about tho gamo and is always dangerous. He had little clmneo against Langford in any of their battled, although one of them went ns a ten-round draw. It was the generul opinion that Sam saved Flynn up for another go. a theory which was established estab-lished in their next encounter. Kaufman has not fought for some time, and he is a fellow who ought to have a lot of work. His defeat by Flynn will be a good lesson to him. bc- SiA 1S Jlke,-illQfc. fcho fireman caught the .big Cahfornian out of condition. con-dition. At that. Al should have known better than to tackle such a, tough opponent op-ponent m anything but the best of shape, because lie has fought and beat-on beat-on blynn before and knows that he is a dangerous card.
