LITTLE BANTAM TALENT LEFT,

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-What with Joe Lynch giving every tell-tale sign of having fingered overlong where the lights are bright and the even ings lengthy and the rest of the boys being slightly passe, there isn't much left of the bantamweight division these particular days. Mere ly.. the usual set of diffident, self conscious managers, who believe that talk is cheap and therefore use it freely. A year ago Johnny Buff was cham pion. Today he is out of the ling altogether, broken little man, bordering on fistic old age. Lynch is the present champion by the grace
 of mere circumstances. He Is either l through or Bull Montana is wearing Iavallier.
 Curtin and Villa The best of the present-day crop are Irish Johnny Curtin and Pan cho Villa, who is not bantam at all Pancho is the flyweight cham pion, but if he ever gets Lynch or title also will go overseas to the Philippines. Curtin is only fair at best, but he has come along rather rapidly during recent months. The rest of the headliners, so- called, are Midget Smith, Pal Moore, | Joe Burman, Jack Wolfe and Terry Martin The Midget flashed only one great fight, that against Pete Herman, and then subsided peaceful | ly. He is out of the question as champion. Herman's eyesight is al most gone and will never return. Pal Moore had a penchant for slap ping off of them silly year or so | ago, but he has lost the art Wolfe, another semi-sightless gent,

 Neither Martin nor Wolfe could
 become champion except by the rawest kind of a fluke. They just
 don't belong. Burman, however, is
 possibility. He is still at the peak
 of his form and could outpoint sO
 per cent of the bantams, including Lynch, but the Chicagoan is an un interesting boxer and may never get a shot at the title because his l: services are not in demand. Twelve months ago Jack Sharkey : and Roy Moore were among the leaders of the class. Not now : however. Jack has become an in !: different featherweight, and Roy only a rough, tough citizen at best is in retirement.
 Frankie Jerome, Carl Duane, Bat l: ting Leonard, Danny Lee, Georgie Daly and Charley Goodman are more

 class, but few of them are going
 anywhere.
