 LONDON, April 1-Americans here
 today were very much disappointed
 over the treatment accorded their fla
 vorite from the States, Joe Lynch, of
 New York, in the lstters bout with
 Jimmy Wilde, the english champion,
 in a 15-round bout at the National
 Sporting club last night Wilde was g-.en the verdict, but on what grounds
 the award was made is still a problem
 to those who attended the battle.
 Lynch won at least seven of the 15 rounds, while three others were even. This analysis would show that Wilde at the best earned only five rounds Lyr chs punches were the cleaner and more effective. Even Wtlde's most ardent admirers could not agree with the verdict.
 Two Americ7n promoters who were at the ringside today visited Lynch s rooms and offered to rematch him | with Wilde. Lynch replied that so far as ne was concerned he was willing, but suggested that they do business with his manager, Eddie Meade of New York, upon his return to the States. Lynch expects to leave for the States within a week. Wilde, ac- cording to newspaper writers who talked to him after the fight, will re fuse to meet Lynch in the States to a decision. He also said that he does not intend visiting the States, as he had at first planned to do. The Prince of Wares, Prince Albert and Lord Lonsdale witnessed the con-
 test, which took place at the National Sporting club. It was a fast and stub bornly fought battle throughout. Wilde started a 1 to favorite, but Lynch was doing so well in the ninth
 round that the betting fell to evens.
