HAYES BROKE HIS ARM.
THAT WAS ALL THAT sAvEDY
LYNCH FROM DEFEAT.
A Lively Sparring Contest Last
Night-It Lasted Twenty Rounds
and Was Declared a Draw.

swollen hand is all that saved Billy
Lynch's bacon in his match with Jack
Hayes in the rooms of the Athletic club
last night. In the sixth Hayes had
paved the way for a clean knock out
and at any time between that and the
seventh the victory was his.
1t was 10 o'clock when the meEh
entered the arena, Hayes somewha 2;
tiabby while Lynch was as clean cuff
and sinewy as a grey hound. Captain
Longe mastered the ceremonies and
without delay the men were sent to the
centre.
Hostilities were opened by Lynch who
4anqed ngntly when Hayes retaiated
with stiff punch which he followed up
10 Lynch's clinch.
In the second Lynch opened with his
left which shot swiftly over HAYES
duck the latter putting a. next egg in
his adversary's short ribs and mo-
ment later breaking a stiff one on his
chin.
In the third, both were warmed up
and some hot ones were exchanged and
tamalas were scattered indiscriminately
over face and body.
Lynch set the ball to rolling again
in the fourth, landing lightly on his
opponents larynx and then locking his
right about Hayes neck which drew
from its socket like a piece Of India
rubber Hayes didn't fancy this en-
brace and at the breakaway sent out a
driver that put Lynch onto the ropes.
1t was give n take TO the end OF the
| round.
| In the Fifth Hayes took the aggres-
| sive and stiff punch sent Lynch to mis-
knees. Lynch rising reciprocated with
| a square land in the face when Hayes
right and left shot out, each reaching
a landing and forcing Lynch to a
clinch for salvation.
| The sixth was a corker. Hayes had
measured his adversary and turning
on more steam sent Lynch down with
a rush. Lynch rose to his feet 10 suffer
| a clean knock down and under the
ropes remained on Squat rights
/ until nine had been counted by the
timers. He went to his corner limp and
| groggy and his face flushed. n
| To the spectators it looked as if his
| fate would be sealed in the seventh.
! He reported game and as Hayes right
shot athwart the intervening space
! eluded it with a side step. Hayes fol-
| lowed closely, however, and Lynch to
save himself from the blows that were
being rained on him, pinned himself to
[ his foeman's body.
The pace was terrific. A pile-driving
J left landed on Lynch's neck and reel
ing he went to the boards, remaining
while one, two, three was counted and
then the clang of the bell saved his
goose. Again he sank into his chair all
but out. and came up pluckily in the
eighth to meet Hayes vicious left,
which landed on his head Lynch once
more tackled himself tena ciouSly to the
body of his antagonist and at the break
was sent TO the floor on stiff ones
remaining there until nine was counted.
Upon gaining his feet there was p
chapter of very tropical exchanges and
a tiny ribbon Of blood oozed from
Hayes olfactories.
Hayes continued to levy on his steam
and wind in the ninth round and sent
out his left, which landed on Lynch s
head. Momentarily an expression Of
agony shot across his face, and from
that moment he began TO tack for
shore. Both men began walk around,
Hayes finally leading with his right.
whereupon Lynch sought the floor. and
remained there preying on time until
five was counted.
In the tenth the men were decidedly
fiddIesome. Hayes led once more, at
| which Lynch pitched his carcass upon
the floor and rose with the count Of
three.
In the eleventh Lynch fattened out
under the ropes and repeated it in the
twelfth.
Two rounds had gone by without any
change in the situation, when some one
Missed.
Maybe you guys want some of
this?" was Hayes retort.
The fourteenth found the battle wax
ing hot again, Lynch ducking a right
drive that sped over his head, leaving
a trail of steam behind.
There was constant feinting and f1d-
ding in the fifteenth, sixteenth seven
tenth and eighteenth. In the nine
tenth Hayes landed twice in his OPP
ponent's stomach and in the twentieth
and last put both left and right in
rushing Lynch upon the ropes and
: planting a terrific left as time was
called and a draw was announced.
Every man who attended got thrias
his moneys worth. Not until TN
+ gloves were removed was it learned
that in the ninth round Hayes had dis
abled his left and that an old break
sustained two years ago had been re-
broken. It was this that had caused
him TO relax his efforts when victory
was perched upon his brow.
