you know you have violated one Of

got to stop writing stories if he
hopes to keep his amateur stand

All this while Bill shook a nasty
finger Of warning in his protege's
astonished features.
Young Dasher shriveled up until
he didn't throw shadow. He
went trembling back to his class

natural humor bubbling through his

NEW YORK, March 22.-Another
pugilistic title changed hands last
night when Abe Goldstein, the little
bantam battler from New York 6
Ghetto district, decisively outfought
Champion Joe Lynch in fourteen of
their fifteen round go in Madison
Square Garden.
Lynch, but shadow of his for.
mer self, gave an exhibition that
was mediocre to an extreme. That
Goldstein did not put him away for
the count was due to the fact that
the former champion absorbed
enough punishment to have kayoed
two men.
AS early as the second round 1t
was apparent that Lynch was in
for a terrific beating. In that sss-
sion Goldstein rocked him with a
right to chin which sent the cham.
pion Keeling backward.
The weights as announced were:
Goldstein, III pounds; Lynch. 111A
The crowd was given out as mum.
