Flynn's opinion is not supported
by tho thousands o; light fans that
saw the unequnl fight at Vernon.
Tho fireman was hopelessly outclass
ed from tho moment tho men squared
lor tho first round. Langford was
every bit the demon of his reputa
tion, nnd Flynn had nothing but his
gnmeness to excuse his apponring in
the same ring with the cave-man
without au axo in ono hnnd and u
rovolvor in tho other.
After the battlo Flynn's injuries
were the subject of much argument
by the ringsiders. It was nunarent
to those in "blood row" at tho navil-
lou that the Pueblo man's jaw win,
broken or dislocated by Langford's
torntio knockout blow. At Vernon
today Flynn vehemently denied that
his maxillary was cracked, but talk

fused to ponnit any ono to exnmino

were tho first to ndmit that tho jaw
