NEW YORK, December %.
Joe Lynch, the little boxer from
the West Side of Manhattan Island,
who jumped into prominence about
three years ago as a likely boxer
won the bantamweight championship
of the world from Pete Herman, of
New Orleans, in fifteen round bat
tie at Madison Square Garden last
night.
In four of the rounds Herman had
the better of the argument, but in
only one of these had he any decided
advantage over Lynch.
Lynch suffered from a cut liI
early in the mills, but it was not un-
til after the fight was over that il
became known to those in his corner
that the new champion had badly
injured the thumb of his right hand
during the third round. Lynch was
elated a she was carried on the
shoulders of his managers and hand,

went out through the ropes without
making any audible coments.
Herman and his manager sailed
today on the Imperator for England
The ex-champion is matched to meet
Jimmy Wilde, the little paperweight
boxer and English champion, in 6
twenty-round bout in London or
January ID.
While the Dempsey-Brannen bout
brought an enormous crowd to the
Garden last week, the interest evinc
ed by the fans in the bantam champ
ionship fight last night gathered tn,
biggest crowd the structure evel
held.
