LYNCH PROVES
RIGHT TO TITLE

LOUISVILLE, May Joe Lynch is
still the bantamweight boxing champion
despite the efforts OF southern ring
critics to pick flaws in his prestige as
a result Of last nights twelve-round bout
here with Pal Moore, Memphis challenger.
When the twelve rounds were up Moore
was all in, but even so his hundreds OF
Dixieland followers carried him from
the ring and shouted that he had won.
However, impartial critics who watched
the scrap were of the opinion that the
Moore adherents were trying to "gyp"
the champion. There was no question
about Lyneh's superiority over the Mem
phis Lad. True, Moore won few of the
rounds by a shade, but his punches were
feather Ike and did no damage. On the
other hand when Lynch hit he hit, and
Moore felt the stings plainly. AS a re-
suit Moore didn't have much steam left
in the closing rounds and ringside opin-
ion was that Lynch would have finished
him in q few more rounds. At any rate
it was a good fight and was witnessed
by a packed house.

Brawny Crews Race for
HOnOrs on Lake Carnegie

PRINCETON, N. j., May 7-Brawny
oarsmen Of Princeton, Harvard and the
Navy were to vie for honors on Lake
Carnegie here this afternoon.
Nays great crew which took Penn
into camp on the Severn at Annapolis a
week ago, was a heavy favorite and the
chances of the Middies were enhanced
by the weather which has prevailed
during the week.
Continued rains have swollen brooks
and streams of Mercer County which
feed Lake Carnegie and they were still
pouring floods into the lake today,
making 1t more like a river. The crews
were certain to encounter currents and
in this kind of water Navy is admittedly
superior to any crew in the country. The
weather was warm and partly cloudy.
