HAYES DEPRIVES BYFORD OE CHANCE FORJIET TITLE State Champion Defeats Chicago on Aztec Club Courts.
By W. W. Xaugaton. 1 San Francisco, July 11. The moving pictures . of the Jack Johnson-Jim Flynn world's championship boxing contest at Las Vegas were thrown on a screen for the first time last night, the exhibition taking place at the establishment of Miles Brothers on Mission street, the firm that sent its operators to the ringside to take continuous action photographs of the big match. The spectators were limited to newspaper men and friends of Jim Coffroth, who has secured the western
rights to the fight films. The pictures bore out precious, accounts of the fight. Those who viewed them saw Champion Johnson holding and blanketing Flynn for probably two minutes out of every three that should have been devoted to fair, standup boxing. They saw Flynn
has pulled the fighters apart to admonish Flynn for butting. Flynn Is trying to persuade the referee that butting is the only recourse when an opponent resorts to holding the way Johnson did. Johnson, meanwhile Is standing a few feet away and there Is nothing about him that suggests he is not over-anxious to continue boxing. When the police came In, Flynn pleads with the captain to be allowed to continue, but the official shakes his head and waves his arm to signify that the fight has gone far enough. Flynn then walks to his corner In a Jaunty manner, while Johnson saunters slowly to the ropes and gives his version of the affair to the men In the press division. By this time Johnson's "golden smile" has mellowed Into a saddened look, but every play of ex-
tearing to close quarters In spite oflpresslon on the champions features

gruelling contest from start to finish
Abel R. Kiviat and Normal S. Taber,
the American representatives, came in
to the stretch together. Jackson all the way around the last lap went at a terrific pace, passing four men In order to get up with the leaders. With Kiviat slightly In advance ten yards from the tape, Jackson fairly leaped
ahead and fell exhausted into the arms
of his friends.
So close was the race for second place between Kiviat and Taber the judges reserved their decision until a
photo of the finish was developed be
fore announcing the second and third
men.
Jackson was more exhausted when he dropped to the grass after the race
than any competitor has been at this meeting. He fainted, and doctors came to his assitance and worked over him for an hour before he gained strength enough to stand. Kiviat ran up to Jackson after the race and stretched out his hand to shake, but Jackson
waved him off. . Too Tired to Be Congratulated.
Many of the spectators thought that the refusal of Jackson to shake hands
was caused by bad feeling, but Jackson sent a message to the American
team afterwards saying that he did not realize what he was doing because
he was tired out and that he would call on the Americans to explain the matter to them later. Matthew J. Halpin, the American team manager, said when he was told this: "It's up to our boys to call on him." Jackson is an exceedingly pale youth of 5 feet and 11 inches, and looks far more a scholar than an athlete. ' The 6,000 meters contest was practically a two man race between the Finn Kolemalnen and the Frenchmen Bouin. They finished 160 yards ahead of Huston of England, who beat out George V. Bonhag, Irish-American A. C, by a foot for third. Kolehmainen won first by a bare yard. It was a wonderful struggle between Bouln and Kolehmainen. E. W. Hutson, England, who secured third place passed George V. Bonhag, I. A. A. C, at the last moment, and crossed the tape a foot ahead of the American.
Flan Sets Early Pace.
The Finn led for seven laps, but the Frenchman was a yard ahead on the twelfth lap, when the Finn spurted on the home stretch and crossed the tape a ward In front of the Frenchman, who threw up his hands at if saying, "I'm
done.
The final heat of the 10 meter swimming was won by the Hawaiian, Duke
Kahanamoku.

New York's Giants looked more like
Immature Lilliputians yesterday against Lurid Lew Richie, who fed
them copious doses of whitewash for
nine innings and made them like it.
while the Cubs by one concentrated burst of energy scored three runs off Leon Ames and drove him to cover In the second inning.
More damaging to the Giants than
the loss of the game was the way the
Cubs bunged up McGraw's men, send
ing no less than three or them to vne
hospital for Indefinite periods. Be
fore the game was over the Gotham manager had used sixteen athletes, including three catchers and as many
pitchers, and was compelled to shift
an outfielder to shortstop, where two
men In succession were put out of commission. Although Chance's men are no more sorry than the rest of the nation, outside of Manhattan island, to see the Giants crippled, there was nothing intentional about the injuries. In fact, a Cub was directly implicated in only one of them. Fletcher was the first to go, when a wild knuckle ball from Richie's fist smashed the little finger of his left hand between the ball and bat as the shortstop was trying to duck away from it. This brought into the game Larry Doyle, who reported yesterday after . a siege of sickness, and switched Groh from second to short.

"IVORY" PLAYS AID 111 SOX VICTORY
Philadelphia, Pa.. July 11. Connie Mack's world's champion Athletics
played some class D baseball yesterday, while the White Sox played the regular major league stuff all the
time. As a result the Sox nosed out
a victory in a tough uphill fight, the
final count being 4 to 3.
If Mack's big fellows hadn't turned
some of the ivory tricks the score
might have favored them at the finish and it surely would have been tied when nine rounds were ended. Therefore the Sox are grateful to the champions, and if they continue with the
same brand of baseball the Athletics are likely to wind up the year down In fourth place, while the Sox might be up battling for the flag to the last. About the worst bit of bush league stuff turned by the big champs was executed by Eddie Collins, the worldfamed second baseman. It may be that Eddie thought the call on the batter at that particular time was three and two, and in that case it would have been different. But the call was two and two, and a player of such renown should have known It.
