From that time forward Herman was a
whipped man, boxing solely on the de-
fensive.
Lynch adopted the only method by
which he could have won. and that was
an aggressive fight from start to finish.
Had he played waiting game he prob
ably would have been outponted by
Herman. whose body punching at, close
range. though not effective. had de-
ceived verdant referees in many Of his
bouts.
The elimination, therefore, of Herman
from the championship of the class is an
excellent thing for the sport Lynch
will unquestlonably take a rest after
which he should be busy boxer. There
are many bantams who can make 1t in
teresting for Lynch and all will want a
chance at the title.
There are other champions who should
be drummed out OF the classes In which
they hold titles One is Johnny Kilbane,
the featherweight, and the other Is
Johnny Wilson. mlddloweight. Wilson
got the honors away from Nike O'Dowd
by the same means which were used in
depriving Williams of his title. and XII
bane has deterlorated to an extent that
precludes his boxing man Of class.
Both Of these chaps should be read
out of the game. as they are not cham
pions except in name.
Tex Rickard has arranged for another
bantam bout at the Garden next
Wednesday night. with Pal Moore op-
posing Jack Sharkey in the chief event.
Tommy Elm Will be pitted against Earl
Baird.
The reinstatement by Director of Pub
lie Safety Cortelyou of Philadelphia
OF Harry Wills and Sam McVey, who
had been suspended on a charge of
boxing a suspicious bout in Quaker
town, creates the impression that
Solomon was not the wisest man in
history. McVeys manager requested
the reinstatement of his man on the
ground that the Philadelphia suspension
was enforced in New York State and
other localities, with the result that the
negro boxers were prevented from earn
ing a living.
After listening to the plea Cortelyou
gave his decision as follows: Very we'll,
I will reinstate the men so they can box
in New York State and other places.
But they cannot box again In Philadel-
phia."
The action of the New York commits

American Legion to Censor
Meetings and Deal Sum-
marily'' With Any Dis

Police to Mass Reserves
Districts of Five Ousted As
EN- b y M en- Will Be
Watched for Disorder

The Socialists will open their cam
paign tonight in the districts in which
special election has been called for
September 20 to fill vacancies result
ing from the ousting of the five Social
ist Assemblymen. Officials of the Po-
lice Department said last night that
every preparation was being made to
prevent disorder growing out of the
meetings, which will be held in halls
and at street corners.
With the Socialist managers in the
Bronx planning great demonstrations
in that section and the American Lee
gion preparing to resent any disloyal
remarks by Socialist orators, police of
the Bronx fear serious clashes, and all
available reserves will be mobilized to
patrol the precincts in which the first
meetings are to be staged.
40 Legion Posts Aroused
Major Wilbur T. Wright, of 263 East
Kingsbridge Road, the Bronx, county
chairman of the American Legion of
the Bronx, announced last night that
he expected several hundred members
from the forty posts to watch the sec
tions in which the meetings will take
place.
Major Wright declared that any de-
parture by speakers from political
argument into what may he construed
as disloyalty would b. met by pro-
test from the legion and that persons
showing hostility TO the government,
state or federal, would be summarily
dealt with.
Declaring that the last Assembly
treated the ousted Socialists toe
leniently, Major Wright said that in
the event the Socialist orators grew
vituperative the full membership of five
thousand Legion veterans would be
drawn to curb hostile Socialistic ora
tory.
A general conference of the five
ousted Socialist mblymen and their
Peoples House, East Fifteenth Street
of meetings in the districts threatened
by the fusion movement, fostered by
the old parties.
Socialist orators will be drawn from
the country at large, and the night
meetings augmented by q systematic
canvass under the general direction of
central committee, assisted by numer-
Gus subcommittee.
Field workers also will be drawn
from greater New York and towns ad-
jacent. The leaders declare that the
Socialists Of the nation are on trial in
the coming election.
National leaders of the Socialist party
made public yesterday message from
Eugene V. Debs in which the impris-
oned candidate for President expresses
confidence in the ultimate victory of
Socialist doctrines.
