the amateur featherweight champion of
America and the amateur ten-mile cross

The night OF the fight was a cold,
raw one and tended to keep dow the
size Of the crowd. Every man that
Wen through the turnstlles OF the
Coney Island clubhouse was provided
with fluid heating apparatus To be
taken internally from a big bottle. There
were probably $3.50 to 5000 persons
present. Tit betting favored Griffin,
what there was OF It. Billy showed up
at the clubhouse in n gorgeous semi
dress suit. explaining that after he
had won the fight. he intended TO go
to the French Ball up in Madison

gong rang for the second round Griffin
lost no time in going after Lynch. lie
raIned a storm OF straight lefts and
right swings on the New York boy,
knocking him down and rendering mia
almost helpless before the end of the
round. Although Lynch rallied in the
third n stalled Johnnie on for IA little
while, the Braintree boy soon go. to
him and knocked him down three times.
All through the fourth Lynch fought
gamely and desperately. but wah badly
outclassed. Twice both men went {,

boy was knocked down several times.
In the nfth and last round Jimmy con-
tinued to take the gam gamely. It was
only IA question of how long he could
stay. and. after being knocked down
twice he was clipped on the Jaw by a
r~ight-hand swing and sent to dream

Both men were very awkward and
