In bout in Ma dison Square Garden last night, which started in sizzling fashion, slumped in pace at the halfway mark and con- cluded in as spectacular fighting session as has been seen in this city this year, the title holder retained his honors against the aggression of Midget Smith, pugnacious Harlem bantamweight.
 Lynch. favorite at to in what wagering the contest produced. car ried off the decision of Judges Charles Meegan and Patsy Haley and Referee Billy Kid Mcfarland, despite ter rific closing outburst by Smith in the final round, when the Harlemite sought by a desperate rally to turn the ebbing tide.
 The decision in Lynch's favor when the final bell changed on the battle met spontaneous reception of ap- proval for minute and then the crowd broke forth in a strong vocal demonstration of disapproval. Why this demonstration came nobody at the ringside knew. Lynch. in the opinion of the majority of critics who witnessed the title struggle, clearly was entitled to the honors.
