LOS ANGELES, Cal., March 19. A local sporting writer hero gives the following graphic account of the finish of the Flyun-Langford fight and the actions of the men engaged in the struggle. "The Vernon prizefight arena was the scene Thursduy of a gory hor ror. This Italian hoy, Chiariglion, who fights under the Irish name of Jim Flynn, was put into the ring with n negro who, in physinue, is u shaven gorilla. It was norriblc, sickening. The writer saw an old Californinn with his head in his hand and his hat before his face. "I have seen Mexicans cut each other into ribbons with Bowie knivesj" he said, "but this is too stro.ng for me." "It wasn't hot, passionate blood letting it was cold, deliberate slaughter. Langford, the gorilla man, would put his left hand against the white man's bleeding face and push bim away to arm's length, his little red pig eyes running critically over the maimed white body a con noisseur selecting a vital spot. Then his fists would drive in with a crnsh. The impact of the blows was so ter rific that they could be heard all over the big pavilion. "Flynn fought with the helpless ness and the ferocity of a wounded liou. Sometimes ho seemed to land heavily, but the fight was pitifully unequal. The white boy was nn awkward, savage blunderer trying to defend himself against the skill and strength of n giant. Langford has tho legs, arms, tho immense chest, the little red eyes that shift with the restlesneps of the jungle. Ho walks with the rocking step of tho jungle animal ready to leap in any direction. Fighting is an in stinctive with him as with his cave men ancestors. Langford was too primitive for Signor Chiariglion, Facing one of the white boy's wild est rushos, Langford calmly brushed him out of tho way and enjoyed n good spit to clear his throat. "Tho end waB magnificent. With one last burst of desperation Flynn flew at the negro, rushing him tp the ropos and boating at him frantically with both fists. "Langford fell back, chuckling with laughlor. Shoving FJynn away with both hands, he puckered up his moulli and openod his eyes wido as ono makes faces at a child. "'Say, what's yo' tryin' to do?' ho said, you fight V snarled Flyii, lashing out with his fists. "Langford looked over the white man's shoulders down at tho sport ing reporUn. '"I'm going to get him in a min ute,' he said. Almost involuntarily Flynn tunied his head one fatal in stant to see who Langford was talk ing to. A black arm shot to the white man's blood-smeared jaw. He staggered back and Set himself with lowered, anxious eyes, peering out like a man looking into some hidden cave. Like a flash Langford struck him full on the point of the chin. "The negro did not wnit to see what would happen. As tiie blow landed, he turned and walked away, u little smile of amusement ou hi face. He leaned over the ropes and shook hands with one of the sport ing reporters, his bnck to the pitiful scene where 7000 people were star ing with horrified fascination. Flynn, crumbling at the knees, like a man who has been shot, took a few drun ken steps forward and fell flat' on his face. "As the referee stood counting him out Flynn make one think of nn an imal which had been shot to death. His torn face was ashen. His eyes were dull and glazed, the blood pout ig out of his mouth in a little stream that trickled over tho white canvas. "'OutS' yelled the roforeo into his ears. Flynn looked up dully with u sort of reproach on his fuce, and got weakly to his feet, where he stood swaying, with u faraway look in his eyes like a man coming out of the influence of uu anesthetic. "Langford came across the ring with real pity in his face and held out his hand. At the sight of the terrible black figure before him u tiny ray of consciousnefs filtered through the white boy's fuddled brain. Ho thought the fight was still on and put up his fists. "Langford laughed and dodged be hind tho referee as they dragged Flynn to his cornor. He fell uncon scious into his chuir, his bloated, maimed face fulling against the l -- ! 1.1 -1! 9P 1 Bweaij Hiiyuiuer in one oi ins sec onds. They sprayed water in his face and fanned him and waved am monia under his nose. Ho came to with a gasp and tried to get up. "'Why did tho fight stop?' hi' asked thickly. Then the light went out of his eyes and he fell back again, a dead, inert thing. Half a dozeu times, as tho ammonia brought him to, ho tried to got up and fight agnin, querolously wanting to know why tho fight had stopped. At last they got him ,to Ids dressing ropm and finally into a carriage, nis appearance was too bloody and torn to bo described in polito soci ety. "Beyond nn old wound out open over one eye, Langford was un hurt." , NOTICE, Saturday, March 10, will bo V. O. T.
