T ONIGHT Joe Lynch - the most \ talked of and apparently the classiest little fighter America has ever had the honor of representing her in foreign lands-will make his first tublic appearance in the ring since being given his honorable dis charge for meritorious war service in France.
 For a starter he will take Philadelphia boxer who although said to be of a promising style, is expect ed ito take the count when this fiashy little Harlemite starts yielding his gloves. For three weeks Joe Lynch has been carefully and patiently pre- pairing himself for the busE campaign that his manager, Eddie Meade, has outlined for him.
 That Lynch will be at his best for his initial showing down at the Olympia club in Philadelphia tonight was the substance of a statement made by his manager today in New York to tho writer. Eddie seemed extremely confident that his protege would return from Philadelphia a vic tor-and one who won via the knock out route.
 There isn't boy in this country or in England for that matter, whom fans hope will develop into a cham pion sooner than Lynch. Joe has won over thousands of fans and he will make money for any promoter who is wise enough to make use of his ser vices. Here is one boy who is de- , serving of every cent he can get. IN Before going to Europe as a fighter under the management of Uncle sammy, Lynch was promising and drawing down farily good money. To- day, however, he Is said to have im- proved more than 500 per cent. and surely he has made more in the few fights ho has had in Europe than he would have made in America had he decided to "stay at home"
 And be 1t understood right here that Joo didn't have to enlist. He is very young man-but a model son. Upon his earnings his good natured family depends host for an existence. And Joe is one of those model boxers who turns over most of his earnings to his folks. Lynch is planning on buying an apartment house for his parents and then-oh, wen, why make Joe Blushi

The hitch in the army has made him better than ever, and he will be on deck to give his opponents a hard battle.
 Weidlich, the new twirler of the Athletics looks to be a comer This boy started on the Wesleyan nine last season. In the game against the Rosebuds, he had everything his way, and allowed his opponents only four hits.

Springfield fans will be glad to learn that Lester 'Lefty) Purvere has received his discharge at Camp Meade and will join the Springfield team here tomorrow. Ed Holly has been badly in need of another first class moundsman, and with Purvere on the roster the squad should be con- sidered strengthened.

Philadelphia American League fans are still singing the praises of Babe Ruth following his hitting proclivi- ties at Shibe Park on Memorial Day. Ruth, who pitched in the morning and played left field in the afternoon, delivered two of the longest drives that have ever been made in that city at any ball park. In the sixth innin g of the morning game Ruth drove the ball not only over the right field wall but over the roofs of the houses on the opposite side of Twentieth street, the ball going about ten feet foul. and then in the eighth inning of the after noon game, with the score tied at one run each and Strunk on first base, Ruth drove one of Scott Perry's curves over the roofs of the houses on the opposite side of Twentieth street, a fair ball, the ball striking on the rear of the roofs of one of the houses and bounding into the back yard.

 The Brooklawn course has been improved upon in more than one way. Experts who played over it during the past week are unanimous in declaring that it is one of the most difficult in the East This change was made necessary before the club could hope to land the metro politan championship, which, by the way, will be the banner feature of the competitive golfing season in the East.
 HAT 1t is in the Bridgeport team to play winning ball of an un- occasionally fine brand was demon strated clearly yesterday when the Americans shut out the Worcesters at the Newfield battlefield. Why the team can not put up as brainy a con- test every day in the week is more than the ordinary individual can un- derstand.
 Competition in the Eastern cham pionship race is bound to be keen, but the fact remains that the Amer jeans look as promising, as strong, de- fensively and extensively, as any club on the team. A little more dfscip- line and team work will keep the Americans up there, for President Lane has indeed been liberal in the way of furnishing material

The City captain won the toss and Cassidy started the game before a poor crowd and the City team took up the attack right from the start and after ten minutes play the locals were a goal ahead as Shaw got hold of the ball from a fine pass from Harrison and scored fine goal. The New Haven players next attacked and looked likely to score at any moment but fine defense by Jones kept them out. Three corners fell to the City team in quick succession but all failed to materialize as Smith and Houstan were putting up a fine defense. Ten minutes before the in terval the City team forged further ahead as after some fine passing be- tween Shaw, Dowdall and Harrison, the ball was sent to Dowdall who taking well aimed shot from a 20 yards radius, beat Kissock all the way.
 This second reverse put new life into the New Haven players and they attacked with vigor and their for wards taking the ball up the field took shot for goal. Ca1lise was taking the shot but slipped and E. Smith being close up had no diffi- culty in scoring. At the interval the Citys were leading by the odd goal.
 Hirst started the second half and the play proved of a very tame order for the first ten minutes with neither side looking likes coring but the City players took up the attack but the defense of the Winchester team was great and saved the situation time after time. Twenty minutes from time the City halfbacks placed their forwards in possession and Hall taking the ball up the right wing sent across a perfect pass to dirst who was right in the goal mouth. the lat ter was rather slow in taking the op portunity but finally beat Kissock and put the issue beyond doubt. In the last few minutes of play the City players again attacked and Hirst scored the concluding goal.
 The referee for the game did not give satisfaction to either team and there was considerable dispute in several of his decisions The teams were:

Pitts is also wanted by the Water bury promoter to box Jimmy Fasane, the fighting Wop. at the All-Soldiers' star boxing tournament in that city on Thursday night. Charley has in- formed the matchmaker there that he will go through with the match provided he can make connections to be in the Brass City by Thursday. As this is almost impossible without forcing the former Australian to strain himself, it is certain that Pitts will not be on the Waterbury card Thursday.

HERE is one boxing manager who
 absolutely refuses to have any thing to do with a boxer who is so dishonest himself that he can nos trust his personal representative and friend-the fellow who has made 1t possible for him to make the money that he Is drawing-that he suspects everybody else of misdoings.
 Up in Harlem where his boxers train the gentleman is known as Sil- vey Burns; down in the Spring street section of the Ghetto he is known by a monicker that sounds like the name of some Scandinavian soup. Burns is a manager-and how well his friends and boxers know. He is nobody's messenger boy. Neither is he pin-headed enough to take the Dull shevik' propaganda of sup posed1y wise pilots.
 Because his boxers did not know their places Silvey has rid himself of two real good bread winners. And Silvey Is frank enough to admit that he bought many a hot dog with his share of the earnings of these boys. But always the boys knew what their share was There was no holding out But these tactics apparently were too much for the fighters; they figured that Burns was "a soft egg
 And they tried to interfere with his work. But that is all they did tried Now, Silvey is no longer man. ager of Joe Leonard, the clever New York battler, or Frank Carbone, the metropolitan middleweight. Both have been passed on by Burns.
 But this action on the part of Car bone and Leonard is nothing new There is no one connected in the sportinK world who is mora incou- siderate or ungratefu1 than a boxer.

In the National League the strength of the two sections appa- rently is fairly well balanced. The Eastern clubs won the first series, but by a rather small margin. New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston won 29 games against 21 for Gin cinnati. Pittsburgh, St. Louis and Chicago, the percentage of the East being .5S0. What advantage the East attained largely was due to the fact that a certain advantage to the home team, and that the Giants mopped up their opponents most successfully winning 10 out of 13 games.
