Sergeant" Charlie Lynch oI Whipple Barracks yesterday decor ated himself with a comeback in his ten-round fracas with Sailor Jack Dunn, the Jerome favorite, so that decisions as between the two lead ing middles of this county now stands at two to one i'll the seaman favor. A large crowd of the GUS toners was on hand to help the multitude of patients see their, favor ite beat Dunn in ten rather gory but slow rounds
 Whether from the nippy breeze that blew across the roped arena or from some cause which might have had its foundation in caution, both Lynch and Dunn fought dead slow. Gone was the easy distance boxing that has put the Sergeant up among the best of his weight in these parts. Sailors fast footwork was not at all ill evidence. II he had it with him, he kept this part of his wares on the shelf and did not display it on the counter.
 The decision was popular, but it was close. Dunn had the former soldier tired ill the third round and made rather the more spectacular showing early in the bout. Lynch, however. found once more his ability to get down under the wide but vic ious right swing after the Sailor had puffcd the old tin ear for three spaces, and as the discussion wore on, the local boxer redoubled his at taoks on the maritime map with the result that although not greatly in jured as ring injuries go, Dunn spilled considerable sap. Lynch too was marked on the face.
 A remarkable thing was the lack of open boxing and the tendency of these heretofore good sparring men 10 close in, trade swats and then re- pose in clnches.
 A rule had been made that the boxers were to break at command of the referee, and this may have been an incentive. to that fond em- bracing that marred the bout A reliance on the good old law of pro tection in the clinchcs and battling as long as one mitt remained way ing in the breeze would have pro noted fiowork.
 A ring five feet on a side could easily have contained all the tactics either boxer resorted to. Dunn, who had been reported not anxious to extend himself on account of his re- cedt recovery from an illness, ap- peared to place faith in some con cealcd wallop and to handle himself at all times as though seeking an opening for 9 favoritc blow. Lynch closed and hammered, totally unlike the swift kid he has shown himself heretofore.
 A Battle With Speed
 The day did not pass without an exhibition of both speed and cour- age, however Tiny Refeld, a post favorite, won a decision oyer Eddie Morgan of Jerome who somewhat outweighcd him. in the six-round semi-iinaL There was more action in these six spaces than in the ten Of the main event. Rcfcld had a little Of everything, including speed, punching power and a steel clad jaw, which Morgan battered earnest ly but futilely several times. On the other hand and with both those members, Refeld pulled Morgan's eye and lip and accounted for a number of bright pink spots on the visiting boys carcass.
 The opening bout resulted not in knockout but in a push-out. Young Vaile Of the barracks and boy whose name was untitled in the throat of the announcer, lasted about $ per cent of one two-minutc round. Then the unknown dropped 10 the carpet out of a close cx- change of clumsy blows and after having once tried to rise, decided he was knocked out and lay down down again. One of the members of tlis little sporting event turned mp later with d di-Iocated right thumb.
 Kid Pcrcc, a southpaw who hailed from Gotham, had the better or a iour-rouud decision with k. Q. Wo- mack of Phocni5. Lefty knocked Womack down in the final circle but was too mcrciiul flo punish his antagonist as he could. have done
