Johnson Flynn heavyweight bout fails to ignite public interest
Boxing writer Tommy Clark notes the July 4 Las Vegas heavyweight bout between Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn draws little public enthusiasm. Flynn has a poor record aside from a win over Kaufman and Morris, and Johnson’s two-year layoff may impact his performance. The matchup is criticized as forced and lacking national appeal.

If any man can construct a stronger Browns club it should be Stovall.
