DECISION OVER
HERMAN IN RING
Little Boxer From the West
Side of Manhattan Island

Champion of World.

Madison Square Garden, New
York, Dec. 22.--Joe Lynch, the lit
tie boxer from the west side of

into prominence about three weeks
ago as likely boxer, won the ban

state boxing commission when the
men entered the ring tonight were

the much more drawn Of the two
men when the bout began, while
Herman was in the better condition
so far as looks went.

Both boys were nervous at the

height and reach were soon APP

on the part of Herman cost him
any chance he might have had to
hold his title.
In four of the rounds Herman
had the better OF the argument hut
in only one of these had he any
decided advantage of Lynch. In
this round he had Lynch in diff
cuty but that was all. Herman's
defense at times was puzzling to
the challenger but whenever he
landed one Of his long lefts or
right hooks or swings, a grin of sat-
isfaction spread over Lynch,s
countenance while Herman's face
denoted that he was afraid Of his
opponents wallops.
In the rounds where he had the
better OF Lynch, Herman took
chances. When he did attack he
was very successful. but these eff
forts were only spasmodic, while
Lynch was the aggressor In all the
rest of the rounds,
Lynch clearly outpointed his
man in ten rounds. Herman had
four and the opening session was
just about even. "a,

is incomplete and that without America
it is dead. To discharge its functions
would mean the use of all the, resources

Yet the league has no other means at
its disposal To continue the league in
its present form is to waste time ana
money and to raise false hopes at the

The Daily Express declares that the
