JOE LYNCH DETHRONED

With most OF New York'S east
side boxing followers iammed into
the Garden to see their idols in ac-
ton, Joe Lynch lost his bantam
weight title to Abe GoldStein via a
decision at the close Of Is rounds
March Il, 1924.
Lynch made a miserable showing.
His great punching ability was
gone. He was slow on his feet. He
boxed clumsily. Joe appeared to be
but a shadow OF his former fight
ing self.
The vast audience sat open
mouthed as they SaW Lynch labbed
around the ring by the dainty foot
ed soft punching Hebrew.
Round after round went the same
way, with Goldstein fitting in and
out like a phantom, flying his left
into Lynch's face and then throw
ing a flock Of gloves 10 the body.
Toward the finish there vas no
question that a new champion was
10 be named unless one Of Lynch's
wild swings found a vital spot. And
Goldstein. always cautious, kept a
safe distance TO the end Of the 18th
round.
This fight virtually closed the
career OF Lynch. One of the best
of the bantamS in his day, he rap
idly increased weight and deterio-
rated to a third rater.

BALLYHOO OF
MIAMI BOUT
BARELY HEARD
Despite Unusual Of
fering, Location and
Dempsey Overshad-
ow Fighters
By EDWARD J. NEIL

iAsSOctdteO fTeSS SpOTls NfiteT.l
MIAMI BEACH, Fla, Feb. 49,
Rl-CircumStanceS and the breaks
of the game seem TO be working
hand In hand to leave none but the
echoes of the ballyhoo thunder for
two young heavyweiEhtS who will
swap punches in the center OF
Flamingo Park next wednesday
night.
In all probability there never has
been another major heavyweight
battle in modern fistic history where
the training efforts Of two such
and Young StriblirE, Georgia's
slurging pride. were lost so COM
pletely in the picturesque scenery
OF the h3ttle-rround or so over
Swallowed by the personalities OF
such figures as Jack Dempsey and
doughty Billy Carey. Certainly no
other pair Of fighters ever had to
contend for publicity with such a
problem as was left the Madison
Square Garden corporation at the
death OF Tex Richard.
Yet the young contenderS foT the
heavyweight mantle Gene Tunney
threw aside have worked along
steadily in the shadow of arguments
over referees and rules, lost amid
the logged perseverance that has
built the fight from almost q GER
tain failure TO an assured success.
And all this despite the fact that
both Sharkey and Stribling promise
something out of ordinary for their
partisans on the night Of Feb. q.
The Sharkey Of today is some
thing northern fans haven't seen
for more than three years. He has
shaved his weight down to the fig
ure OF his first commanding victo-
ries, the conquestS of the negroes
George Godfrey and Harry Wills
more than three years ago. The
Boston sailor, burned q rudy red
by constant exposure TO the sun,
scaled only 1877 pounds after his lat
est workout and promises to enter
the ring under 191, his weight for
the sensational knockout Of Jimmy
Maloney two years ago.
Stribling. too. seems TO have
changed his style The Georgian
still dotes on close work where the
left hand is caught in a clinch with
the right free to slug overhead to
the head and underhand to the
body. but he has discarded almost
entirely his famous rushing attacl;
to close quarters. He practices
feinting with his head and body
as he stands in the center OF the
ring.

contract with his manager. Johnny
Buckley yesterday for one year with
The option of a second. took a rest
Today and left the training fields
entirely to Stribling.

rs the Abilene ieburne game.
You recall that Squyres was ruled
out OF the league Just prior to
tho Abilene game.
We agree with the San Benito
coach that criticism should be di-
rected toward the committees al
lowing ineligibles to play, etc. The
writer does not uphold Cleburne,
not by a long shetland neither does
1t uphold or condone the workings
Of the league-or the policy il
adopted. and the precedent IL set,
in not ruling Squyres ineligible
when the protest was first made.
And as stated, we believe he was
ineligible, and the authorities who
permitted him to play, and III they
knew he was ineligible should be
punished. and II we must make a
suggestion. then along the lines Joel
Hunt was almost made TO suffer
in the charge of ineligibility at a
Marshall school where he was coach.
There has been a tremendous
amount OF interest In football I'm
the Valley for twelve years, or
more, and during most of that
time, there has been charges and
counter charges Of this and that
school not living up 10 the rules,
and the bad part Of IL Is that II
has gone into the minds or the
pupils, and IL Is common remark
TO hear some youngster say that
such and such a school is playing
crooked. and doing this and that
which Is not ethical.
How can that be stopped? Prob
ably 1t never will. But It can be
eliminated to a great extent, we be-
lieve by the district and state COM
mittees, If they will take a firm
stand before each season starts, and
having each coach or some accredit-
ed representative of the school il
represents abide by rules, which
should be made before the season
starts.
