Bill Squires.

Bill Squires, who is sarcastically termed "The Australian Lemon* over m tbe States, appears to be crawling down the ladder of fame I with a vengeance. He was matched against Flynn, a Coloradan fighter, at Bakersfield, on December 19th. j Bill had the advantage of nearly 10 pounds m weight, and 6in. m reach, jHe -had been sparring with A. Neil, who made a monkey of him at infighting, which is found to be Bill's weak point,, although when he left these shores it was considered that that was his scoring point, with that marvellous new body hit that he has developed. It was estimated, when the 'Frisco mail jeft. that Flynn would be a 5 to 4 on favorite, and this estimate has A been verified. Results to hand show that Squires was knocked out m the sixth round. Alas.! poor William !
