Fred Fulton knocked out Porky Flynn In the fourth round at the Clermont rink in Brooklyn. A hard right hander to the jaw sent the Boston boxer sprawling ou his back.

Flynn was floored in the first round with a right for a full count, hut got up and fought back gamely until the bell came. Axgmmest Over Bandage. Fulton caused a long delay before the men got Into action because of the quantity t f adhesive tape he had wrapped around his right hand. Flynn objected and Fulton made a little curtain speech, saying that the tape was necessary because he had broken the hand recently. After a heated pow-wow Fulton left the ring for his dressing room; where he removed the objectionable band. That Fulton hurt his hand again was certain, for he winced with pain as soon as he floored Flynn the last time. Flynn Is OatclaonacL Flynn was hopelessly outclassed from the start. Fulton's great reach was too great a handicap for him to overcome. He landed a number of hard body punches that made Fulton grunt. Fulton weighed 212 pounds and Flynn

An automobile run from Minneapolis to Fargo and return, a diatanco of 654 iulies in eighteen hours and forty-one minutes, eems impossible, does It not? But this is the record made last week by three Minneapolis motor enthusiasts in an Elgin "Six," a car nelllnr at $985.00. The speed attained for the entire trip was better than 29.4 miles an hour. The motor was not stopped for twenty hours. On the homeward
stretch from St, Cloud to Minneapolis, a run of 68 miles, the distance Vas made in one hour and thirty-seven minutes, or at an average speed of 41.9 miles per
hour. The Elgin Fargo-Minncapolls and re
turn run was made on Saturday, Au

tor of The Tribune, acting as observer;
Charles ReHly. president of tho Reilly
Herz company, driver, and John Nilssorl. mechanic. The run was made over the
"Red Trail Route."
Road conditions were miserable. The
heavy rains of Friday, August 1. made
the roads almost impassable in spots.
But the Elgin six blasted its way
through the sands of Anoka county
with the same case that it traversed the gumbo of the Red River valley. The
Red trail route is not a bad highway for automobile travel, but when soaked by an all night's rain it surely becomes not only bad. but very treacherous in spots. It must be also taken in consideration that the run was partly made at night. Night travel at a high rate of speed over familiar roads is bad enough, but when coupled with uncertainty and a rain-soaked highway, the Elgin run looms up as a most remarkable performance. The performance for endurance and speed is probably the best record ever attained anywhere, especially when the conditions under which the run was made are taken Into consideration ' Tt
surely demonstrated that the Elgin j "six" at 985 is the best and the mnt ; honest automobile value of today. j From Minneapolis Tribune.

Those Healthy, Dirty Hands! There is somethinj? very tragic, to one who knows children, about the cleanness of a sick child's hands. Mothers ought to realize that, and be downright glad when their children are well enough to get dirty enough to require long sessions tvlth stiff brushes and orange sticks and two different soapy waters before even thinking about rinsing.
