No Flaw in Lynch's Title.

Pete Herman, the dethroned champion
Of the bantam class, luckily had Welsh.
the English promoter tied up with a
$500 advance in connection with a
bout with Jimmy Wilde January IA in
London. Welsh could not declare off
the bout without losing his $500. AMI
therefore he put bold face on the sub
feet and announced he would go through
with the arrangement. Naturally Welsh
required an excuse for staging a match
between Wilde and a crownless boxer
like Herman. so he dug up this one,
which he ca bled over TO this country:

II was not fought under international
Boxing Unions rules, which provide for
ringside weights for championship con-
tests. Lynch and Herman weighed In
at O'Clock, which makes fight at 10
o'clock at catchwelghts, so title couldn't
pass"
Mr.. Welsh either deliberately misrep-
resents the facts or else is ignorant Of
the rules of the International Boxing
Union. These rules, far from calling for
ringside weights for championship con-
tests. require all boxers. champions or
otherwise, TO weigh eight hours previous
20 entering the ring. The rule Of the
International Boxing Union is the same
az the rule OF lne international sporting
Club. and requires weighing eight hours
in advanceaof ring time Welsh naturally
needed some excuse 20 warrant him In
putting a beaten champion AGAINST
Wilde. and selected a poor excuse rather
than none.
The International Boxing Union at its
fret meeting included in IT'S list OF world
champions the name Of Pete Herman as
the bantam tltleholder.
Wilde's interest In the match with
Herman lay in the fact that the New
ORGANS boy ~-4d the title Of the bantam
class. wilde Is now the flvweight cham
pion Of the world. and could he have de-
feated Herman previous TO the latter's

ASKS GOLFERS TO
AIR GRIEVANCES
Massachusetts Club Has Novel
Plan for Clearing Up
Disputed Points.
By JOHN G. ANDERSON.

There was a meeting held in Brook
line quite recently which should have set
to thinking a large number Of golf COM
mittee members. The golf committee
of the Country Club advised the club
members that they would hold open
meeting for the purpose of hearing as
many complaints regarding the years
running OF the golf committees duties
as the golfers chose to make. 1t was
felt that only by such out and out OBJ
jections and talking over of the situa-
ton could the best interests of the club
be gained At the conclusion of the
meeting there was an unusual spirit of
harmony, a clearing up of disputed
points and q belief on all sides that next
year would see even better Affiliations.
There is distinct need Of more of
these gatherings. not for the purpose, or.
as It would be termed In some clubs.
the privilege of asking pertinent ques-
tons OF the members of the golf COM
mittees but for the general advancement
of the game. Locker room gossip never
aids a committee unless the group is
composed OF men who will ferret out the
points at issue feeling that some real
good for the club members would re-
suit
For instance, this last season 1t was
locker room gossip at q certain metro
politan club that in the play OF GER
tain tournament injustice had been
done to one member. He had match
arranged at certain time In the after
noon and he was on time for that

Blows That Finished Brennan
in 18th Round Definitely
Fixed by Movies.
HERALD VERSION RIGHT
English Promoter in Absurd
Effort to Question Validity
of Lynch's Title.
Nv CHARLES II. MATHIsON.

Endless disputes and discussions have
Invariably followed an important pugil-
istic contest because of different YER
sions as to the blow or blows that
brought the bout to q close. This was
particularly true OF the recent Dempsey
Brennan contest, there being a variety
of opinions as to the character of the
blow that doubled Brennan up and the
final punch that toppled him to the
floor.
A majority of the ringsiders insisted
that a right to the heart was the blow
that really ended the fight ard that
left knocked Brennan to the floor.
Others insisted that rabbit killer was
the final blow.
In describing the finishing blows the
writer penned the following:
1.-THE contestants were in neutral
corner exchanging blows at close quar-
ters when suddenly Dempsey cut loose
with q left hook that landed solidly in
the pit Of Brennan's stomach. The
giant Chicagoan doubled like a jack
knife, his head falling nearly to his
knees. but ne spread his feet and did
not go to the canvas. There vas moth
ing for Dempsey to do but strike again,
which he did with swinging right hand
punch that landed on the left side of
Brennan's face and knocked him to
the floor in a crumpled heap.
Camera Tells story.
II remained for the camera TO sustain
the above description Of the last round
George Perry, who took the moving pic
lures of the bout and filmed the final
round from four different angles. gave
private showing of the pictures at the
Frars Club few night ago. The final
scene showed Dempsey landing a short

sey, but Brennan did rot fan to the floor

This blow landed on the left side OF

There was another warm DISPUTE

downs. and again was sustained by the
camera. The trouble with a majority of
riugsiders is that they become excited
