By MNOSIDEft. ) Chielgdv Mlfeh 10. A few nights ago, at F6t Sheridan, Jack Dempsey. just over the 20-year-line, polished Off Jim Flynn, the venerable Pueblo fire man, in about two minutes of actual fighting. The performance is interesting and particularly gratifying td Dempsey. be'cluse it lped his record clean of a one-round, knockout given him by 'Flynn in Salt Lake City year ago. It is more interesting, however, in ' thai it points again , to the old, old adage that youth will b Strved. . There is lomlthing about ft fight Irtg ianie, it leeihs, that gets into a man's blood and warps his judgment. They always th real fighters, at least think thet have one more good battle in their systems, Flynn. as riidst everyone knows, hal been I wonderful scrapper. . He has never beta tleter, never a champion, but he always has been a fighter. When Flynn entered the ring. every one knew he rl ill there, to fight, f Nearly 10 years ago Sam Langford cut Flynn to ribbons in a bout that put the, Skids under the fight game in Lbs Angeles, but he could hot put the Ptnblo man away. That fight was so gory thlt it shocked the esthetic sense t)f the Angelenos and there has been. no. fighting in the .city limits since. It .demonstrated that Flynn was one of the toughest and gimest men in tH ring. Fought Johaedn. A few years liter, in 9lt to fee ex. act when Jack Johnson was. cnam- pidrti he Wet Flynn and beat him so That thev atobDed. the fight in the ninth roimd. Yet Flynn when the of ficials Interfered, was up on his legs and fighting the best fie knew now. These things. show that .Flynn, whatever his scientific shortcomings, was a mih with a fighting heart. He battled because he "liked it and he still likes it, it would item. , , But regardless of hi gameness, Flynn is through is i fihter. His defeat means hit passing from Jhe ranks of top notch heavyweights. The venerable firemen says he is still ready to fight, but it is unlikel prb ta&tbri wilt consider htm for impor tant matches. k - The sensible thins; for Flynn to do hb would, be to retire;.

The latter la an oreani sation with press agents of extraordi nary ability and it would like to edit vey the disputed information that it Is the largest association ot its kind in these United States. Anyone inter cited could investigate conditions at the termination of list Seison and the writer is firmly convinced that the artv or parties would ascertain that he National Amateur association was and is the largest issociation.

IS another mariarer Who he. lives thlt the Spitter should be abol ished. Griff used to use the moist delivery himself, ind he wii pretty hlndy in the irt of inventing tricks for the pitcher, but he's "Igin" the spitter; ind as one by one the major leaguers line Up against the old foggy delivery, it appears certain that it is ddomed within I year or two in both leagued. , ; ... ,. , MoranHas Fairly Good .
