BANTAM CROWN RESTS ON BROW OF GOTHAM KID Popular Joe Lynch Takes Title and Diamond Belt by Defeating Herman. STRUGGLE GOES LIMIT
Sails to Meet Wilde NEW YORK. Dec. 23.—Pete Herman, who lost the bantam championship last night to Joe Lynch, was to sail today for London, where he is to meet Jimmy Wilde, the flyweight champion, in a twenty-round bout Jan. 13. “The bout is on so tar as I know. There was nothing in the agreement requiring us to bring a title Into the fight, *’ Sam Goldman, manager of the former champion, said today. Battling Levlnky also sailed for London today. He will meet Bombardier Wells in a fifteen-round bout on the same card with Herman.
NEW’ YORK, Dec. 23.—Beneath the bantam boxing crown the Celtic grin of a New York “harp” beamed this morning. i Joseph Aloysius Lynch, soldier, truck driver, model home boy and the idol of “Little Erin" on the west side, is the best boy in the world at 318 pounds. Just as he won the championship three years ago. Pete Herman, the olive-hued Italian bootblack, lost it last night—on a decision. There was nothing for the judges to do but remote the purple robes of royalty from the broad, muscular shoulders of the New Orleans diminutive and drape them over the thin, bony frame of anew champion. 13 000 FANS BEK SCRAP. Lynch outstepped, outboxed, outpnnched Herman In fifteen rounds of beautiful boxing before 15.000 wjldly partisan fans that choked Madison Square Garden to the roof last night. Two rounds—the first and eighth—were even. Two rounds —the tenth and eleventh—were Herman's, but the others saw nothing but Lynch's arms and hands bouncing off the covered Italian Pete pulled himself tn behind a shelter shell of gloves and elbows and let Lynch hammer at him. Minns the cruel left jab that took the heart out of Sharkey In his last fight. Lynch had to rely on his right and he Dade excellent use of it. The first two rounds were just “feelers,” as Lynch seemed backward abdut taking the fight to the champ. TELLS LYNCH TO TEAR IN. Before the third round the roly-poly. Eddie Mend, seeing fame and fortune ahead for him and his charge thumped Lvnch on the back and said:
The New Champion
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The name in fall of the new bantamweight titleholder Is Joseph Aloysius Lynch. He was born on New York’s nest side twenty-three years ago and entered the ring five years ago as an amateur. He saw service with the A. E. V.. being overseas with the 23th Division. White in the Army he met Jimmy Wilde, flyweight champion, and lost deelsions to him in bouts held in England under the British point system. Lynch earned the right to meet Pete Herman for the crown by knocking out Jack Sharkey recently. Be-fo-e that he gained considerable attention in 1313 by knocking out Kid Williams, former bantam champ. Lynch has earned a big sum with the boxing gloves, but between bouts he often drives a truck for “Old Man” Lynch. He is known as a home boy and when not engage ! in fisticuffs he usually can be found In Ids own neighborhood.
“You'll have to git 'im, Joe, he won't come out.” From then on. Lynch did go get him. Herman was on the defense all the time. In the tenth round Pete started, but almost immediately stopped. Lynch looked tired and weary In the tenth and Herman, for the first time, .showed some ambition. He drew blood from the pale, ghost-like figure in front of him. and when the little crimson stream trickled .down Lynch's chin, the champion seemed to get courage. / Lynch came back revived In the 'eleventh round, however, and kept up ‘iis lead. Herman knew he was losing. Herman would have tried for a knockout, but Lynch was trying for the same thing and Pete was too busy trying to save his own jaw. When the fifteenth round ended both were on their feet. Outside of tba*little .cut on Lynch's lip and punch marks, neither showed any s-ara from the battle. * Joe Lynch should be a popular champion. ile promises to meet anybodyworthy of a chance at the title he has won. and If he lives up to that promise he will be the most popular bantam who has held the championship in years. * Lynch is idolized in Gotham because be is n New York boy, bora and bred on the west side. He is abo New York's first bantamweight champion in two decades. Terry McGovern was the bantamweight champion for a short year, but Terry was not an out-and-out NewYorker, having been torn in Johnstown, Pa. RICKARP BELT GOES WITH TITLE. The new champ has come to the front in rapid strides It has been only In the last two years that he has attracted more ♦ban passing attention, and only within Th< last six months that he took his last ieng steps toward the title, in knocking out Jack Sharkey a few weeks ago. Lynch earned the right to meet Herman and toduv he is champion and the pos •sessor of Tex Rickard's dlamondhi added belt. , Herman hnd his admirers in the Garden last night. In fact, the little exhampion w~s a favorite in the betting right up to ring time, when even moucy -prevailed;-Bet Kerman did nothing when fee got vfffo that ring to justify rho conMdonce that had been shown in him. Herman hurt his chances with the bulges by much running away and much e-llnchlng. He fought one of the poorest battles of hi# career. He was cleimiy outclassed and the Terdict of the judges was received with cheers that shook the ■ancient garden to its very foundation. Surely Lynch will be a popular champion. tlie tenth of his class in America ucd the sixth recognized bantam champion of the world.
Golfer Sawyer Convinced
NEW YORK. Dec. ”3.—Ned Sawyer, ■resent Metropolitan golf champion and . ornier holder of the Western title, used •o say that he never did believe In the nosstbiiity of making a hole in oue uness by some miracle of chance. In the course of twenty years' activities on the links. Sawyer declared he not only had never bolde eout in one himself, but had never even seen the feat accomplished. Yet Sawyer has now given himself an unwitting demonstration of the possibility of the achievement. Playing at the Sleepy Hollows Country Club against John W. Harris, Sawyer made the second hole of IDO yards in a single Stroke. It was some time after he had accomplished the feat before he realized it. He combed the surrounding territory microscop.cally, searching high am! low for his b ill, before it occurred to him to look lu the cup. LINCOLN QIITS SPORT!*.
