HE IS TERRIBLY BEATEN California!).' Opponent Floors Itim Eight Time In Five Rounds San . Francisco Fighter Present a Sorry Sight at Finish. : KANSAS CITY, Mo.. May 5. With a hard right swing to the Jaw. Jim Flynn, of Pueblo. Col- knocked out AI Kauf man.; of San Francisco. In the , tenth round of their fight here tonight. Never before in his career- had Kauf man suffered such punishment as he re ceived tonight. Eight times Flynn floored him. Three times did the giant Cn(fornlan take the count of nine, and each knockdown he saved himself from a knockout by clinching to his opponent to gain- strength. When the knockout finally came, a minute before the fight was scheduled to end, Kaufman was a bloody and piti able sight. Blood streamed from his left ere. which was closed In the fhird round. Other than a badly swollen face, due to Kaufman's left Jabs. Flynn apparently was unhurt. Flynn fought his usual bulldog battle. He rushed Kaufman at every opportu nity. With lowered heud. the former fireman would charge his taller and heavier opponent, swinging rights and lefts, which usually went home to Kauf man's head. Flynn used his left most frequently. He landed at least 20 hard swings with this hand alone. Kaufman was unable to ward off Flynn's blows when once he started a rush. 'Kaufman was slow. He' continually tried to shove Flynn away and make a long range battle of the affair. During two rounds, the first and the fifth, the Callfornlsn got the kind of battling he wanted, but then found his left Jabs and right swings were not strong enough to affect his slugging opponent. The result was never in doubt after the second round. UMPIRE ADMITS HIS ERROR St. Loots Americans Protest Game Given Detroit by Decision. ST. LOUIS, May 5.
