Y HENRY l.. FARRELL

New York, December 22-Concern-
ed over unusual activity among the
gamblers, the New York State Boxing
Commission is throwing additional
safeguards around the worlds ban
tamweight championship bout to-
night between Joe Lynch and Midget
Smith.
Many stories nave been in ciicula-
ton for several days but the conf
mission would admit only that large
number Of telephone calls had been
received at the Office from persons
desiring to know the referee and
Judges that had been selected Tor the
bout.
Beyond discussion of these angles
there is little interest in the fight.
Lynch because of his superior box
ing and his stronger and more acclu-
ate punching is regarded as the IA
vorite.
Smith is fast little worker and
he generally gives plenty of action
which has brought him a large fol-
lowing. This will be his third meet
ing with Lynch and there is no rea-
son to believe that he will do any
better than ne did in the past.
The midget goes into the ring to-
night because the commission street
ched several points for him, He
fought three days ago in Jersey City
when nd lost to Johnny Curtis.
He was under suspension and the
suspension was lifted Immediately so
that he might ga on in this show.
Smith ought to have trouble max
ing the weight. When Curtin beat
him he weighed 122 pounds and four
pounds are plenty for a little fellow
to take off in three days without hurt
ing himself.
