New Yorker Has England's Pre-
mier Bantam Holding
On at End.

LONDON, February 4.-Joe Lynch,
the New York bantamweight. out
pointed Tommy Noble, the English
bantamweight champion, in twenty
round bout here last night. Lynch
led from the tenth round and was
awarded the decision by the referee
The bout was witnessed by large
crowd.
The American bantam fought los
ing battle during the first nine rounds
when he seemed to lack all knowledge
of distance and fell easy prey to
Mobiles straight left, which was his
best offensive weapon. In the tenth
round Lynch got over several good
punches, including a left hook, and
Noble apparently was in trouble at
the end of the round
Lynch carried off the honors in every
round after that, but gained the
twelfth round only by shade. In
the subsequent rounds the referee re-
peatedIy cautioned Noble for hanging
on and holding.
In each of the last four rounds the
American was on to Noble almost be-
fore the Briton was out of his chair.
Lynch had much the best of the in
fighting in the last half of the fight,
doing telling damage to Mobiles mid
section.
When they weighed in before the
fight Lynch was under 80 pounds, the
stipulated weight. Noble refused to
be weighed. and lost the forfeit which
he had posted.

and a few minutes later knocked Mr..
Mankin from the tracks.
Lambert and a student motorman
told the jury there was rain and fog

about ten miles an hour. but they
were unable to stop IL before it struck
