while 10000 spectators went into
fifteen frenzies Of excitement, one for

down, first rs the result Of terrific
left swing to the jaw and then from
fury of rights and lefts to the head.
"A" count and the last time for 8, the
bell ringing as he staggered to his feet.
But after being so close to defeat
Lynch came back tornado and battled
toe to toe with his foeman. In the
last half Of the bout Lynch drove his
punches home with wonderful speed
and snap. With Sharkey always will
ing to meet the onslaught, the little
italian centered his main attack on the
body, and Joe's choice was the head.
BY his great rally Lynch earned a
draw.
Joe Ruddy and Marty McCue. the
Lynch, the other for a draw. Bill
Brown then gave his decision-a draw.
Dempsey Wins Decision
The good old times they were when
the opening bout between Buddy
Dempsey and Eddie Fletcher, bantams,
began. At that time Ike Dorgan, the
blushing wood-violet of pres-agentry
passed back of the press seats and
whispered, "Oh. about 12,OoO." in an
swer to a question as to the number of
sittees sitting in. And it was true, the
old Garden has rarely held bigger

| Dempsey easily won the verdict of
the judges, Joe Ruddy and Marty Nc
| Cue, at the end Of his six-round tilt
with Fletcher. Buddy worked a fast
left jab to Eddies nose for full
eighteen minutes of milling, and just

crossed a right hook over TO the side
of the jaw.
And how Fletcher could take it! He

worlds greatest catcher. Of the 4,672
punches for the face that Dempsey let

one he missed should not be counted
against him. 1t was slow out-curve

Bantams in Real Fight

| the ropes to referee the third event
the fifteen-roundcr between Abe Attel
Goldstcin AMI Patsy Wallace, two fight
ing bantams. Abe came in at 110 and
Patsy at 1171s pounds.
Goldstein was the sharp shooter of
the pair and he nailed Patsy hundred
times with fast. stnging left-hand jabs
to the face. He also ripped Earring
right hooks and uppercuts to Wallace's
chilled steel jaw, but Patsy never took
back step, tickled to death to make
swap OF all kinds of punches
1t was a snappy mix-up in every
round, with Wallace doing his best
work in close and slipping in several
short-arm blows to the ribs. AS a
rule, however, Abe smothered ma
jority Of these shots and raked his
man with whip swapping rights and
lefts to the head. Patsy never stopped
boring in.
In the eleventh round Wallace
earned the honors for the first time,
catching Goldstein with three terrific
right and left swings as they came
out of clinch at the center Of the
ring. These wild wallops to the head
disturbed Abc's mental poise for a
moment. But in the next two rounds
he got revenge. opening up a cash
over Patsy's right eye.
The last round was Goldste:n's By
dark shade. 1t was Abe's fight, as
the judges agreed.
