Joe Lynch to Meet Earl McArthur for Bantamweight Title Here Next Friday 1 _______— Champion’s Crown to Be at Stake in 10-Round Bout With Hard-Hitting Sioux City Boxer at Auditorium Fight to Be Staged on Date Originally Set for Herman McAuliffe Setto. Instead of Tiny Jim Herman and Jack McAuliffe, Omaha fight fans will see a world's champion in action at the Auditorium the night of Jan uary 4. Joe Lynch, bantamweight champion of the world, will fight Earl McAr thur of Sioux City, in the 10-round main event of the show which will be held at the Auditorium January 4 by the Theodore Roosevelt post of1 the American Legion. When the Legion post obtained a license for the January 4 date its promoters entered into negotiations with Lynch and McArthur. The slugging bantamweights were cagey about meeting each other, however, and to make sure that they had a main events card the promoters got In touch with Tiny Herman and Mc Auliffe. Come to Terms. When It looked as though It would he Impossible to bring Lynch and McArthur together the Herman-Mc Auliffo bout was scheduled. Yester day. however, Lynch and McArthur <-anio to terms, the fight was sched uled and Herman and McAuliffe were cancelled. Lynch's appearance here January ■1 will make the second time a world's champion defended his title in Oma ha. The other champion was Jack Britton who boxed Cowboy l’adgett here. There is a different*, however. 1* tween Lynch and P.rtiton, Britton was content to fight easily, shade his opponent and Have hip strength. Lynch is just the opposite type. He like!’, 'to fight and to slug. He likes to knock out opponents when he can. There is another difference in this fight. McArthur’s hefty wallop has made a name for hint. He's a dan gerous foe for any battler. There wasn't a chance in the world that Padgett would connect with Britton. But McArthur Is good enough man to hit Lynch occasionally and on top of ihat Lynch is the kind of champion who is oftentimes willing to stand up and trade wallops. Lynch thinks pretty well of his own knockout punch. Opportunity for McArthur. The Omaha fight wilt represent op portunity to McArthur. The Kioux City lad has been hitting on all fours lately. His last fight was with Connie Curry whom hammered unmercifully and all but knocked out. Curry was on the verge of getting a shot at Lynch because of his recent suc cesses, but now it is McArthur who draws the plum. McArthur believes he has^a chance to knock out Lynch and thus earn for himself the fame and fortune that goes with a cham pionship in the pugilistic' world. Although a champion is fighting a decision fight, the popular prices of *1 to $3 will prevail. Tickets are now on sale at the Auditorium, Basc lta.il headquarters, Merritt’s drug store, thk Sportsman cigar store. Pax ton billiard parlors, Fleming's cigar store and the Denby cigar store.

New York, Dec. 27.—You will be Interested in reading Charles F. Jla thieson's views on a phase of the box ing situation that is causing much comment. Mr. Mathieson is a veteran sports writer, who has of late been serving as Judge of boxing contests for the boxing commission Some of his statements are quite startling. They will arouse much dis cussion. Some of them will perhaps be hotly disputed. That is why he is interesting. Read his letter. "Having been an observer of, and writer on, boxing for nearly 40 years,” writes Mathleson, "I feel Impelled to enter a protest agqinst Use suggestion to resurrect the system of one-man control of ring contests. "During the time In which the Lon don rules were in force, the referee was in supreme control. The third man in the ring was the czar of the roped square when the Queensbury code superseded the bare knckles rules, and pugilism's blackest pages were written in thise two periods. “When New York state put the Frawley law on the books, a legisla tive protest was lodged in the form of a rule prohibiting decisions by ref erees. "Other states followed New York's action, and one-man control came to an end. But decisions are necessary in order to assure sincere effort on the part of the titlehoiders, and the Walk er law provides for a verdict by three men. "Because there have be6n decisions which met with disapproval, clamor lias arisen for a return to the one man system. Nothing could be de vised that would more quickly snuff out the ring game. "Conceding that referees are men of integrity, yet when placed in a position where a contest depends on the raising of his finger he becomes subject to the evil attentions of the element which wagers only when it has an 'ace in the hole.’ "Referees of London and Queensbury rules days yielded to the blandish ments of the betting element. "It would he a difficult task to corrupt two out. of three offieials. but perhaps an easy matter to ‘reach’ one man in complete control. "Since the system of two judges and a referee went Into effect there has been but one charge of corruption —that being the ally yawp, of Greb, where; the decision against him was unanimous. "A glance at the period when the referee was the sole judge discloses a saturnalia of grand larceny. It was practically impossible to get a verdict against a champion If he was alive at the finish, and in many cases when he was unconscious the decision wont to him. "I will mention a few of the fla grant examples: "i860—Heenan sent Sayers to gras in nearly every round of 42. Referee left ring in 38th round and next da> he devilled it was a draw. "JS85—McCaffery battered John L Sullivan so that the champion refused to come out of his corner for the seventh round, thus automatically dls qualifying himself and losing his title Referee escaped from the ring with out a decision. Two days later he declared Sullivan the winner. "1900—Oscar Gardner 'Omaha J\id knocked out Terry McGovern, who got a long count from the referee, and then was permitted to clutch Gardner Rbout the waist and hold him until the round was ended. "When McGovern recovered, he floored Gardner, who was counted out, I believe, in seven seconds. “1900—Choynski floored Kid McCoy near the close of the fourth round, the Kid getting a count of 22. As the Kid got to his feet, the belt ended the round. ‘‘Choynski dropped Ills hands and turned to his corner. Kid hit him lie hind the car after the bell. Choynski. unable to respond to. the lull for the next round, was counted out quickly in his corner. "The Milk Fund bouts list sum mer were for charity. The decision* sta nd."

Ily MAVIS ,J. W.MXII. K\V YORK, Dec. 28— If it weren't for the fact that the boys are all set to gather t he loose money Dempsey and Firpo left in New York last time, It might not be bad business to feed Tom Gibbons some of that Firpo diet Just to see what would happen. Per sonally, we believe that Gibbons would make the fur-bearing citizen look even worse than he actually is. Thomas himself declares that he would stop, halt and otherwise dis continue the senor in a couple of rounds, and asks among other things that he he provided with the oppor tunity. He will not get it. The boys are fully aware that llie senor must lie preserved, as is, until die harvest moon shines brightly on another Dempsey en ter prise, prolmhl)' on or In-fore July 4, next. Tlu-y are shooting at a $2,000,<»»0 gate this time, and that is entirely ton many dollars to trifle with. Firpo lias one more hig fight eoming to hint and it must lie with Itempsey heratise the project is one of those form-fitting, made-to-your-mcasure affairs and needs no hallylioo. Allowing the senor to frolic with Gibbons. Harry Wills or any of those rough playmates would he nothing less than ruinous. Therefore, it shall not be. It is pleasing to note, however, that Gibbons at last ha.s decided to capitalize the fact that he is the only man this side of the hereafter to stay the I mit with Dempsey since the lat ter became champion. Everything was against Gibbons at Shelby, yet hp hurt Dempsey on several occasions and proved that he is uncommonly fast, smart, game and tough. We happen to be one or the innocents who think the Shelby fight was on the absolute, plumb-bob level. We Kansas Aggies and Jayhawkers Schedule Game TOPEKA.

Gibbons should cut Funny Fred down inside three rounds. The latter, never game, is now as slow as a day-laborer’s shovel. After Freddie is picked up, tenderly, and borne away. Gibbons intends to conic to New York to see wbat can be done about the situa tion. He cannot hope to interfere with the Dempsey-Firpo business, which is in the hag. hut ean find plenty of action in these parts, provided .lack Renault, Gene Tilll iley, Mike McTigue and other worthies care to accommodate. They talk of matching McTigue and Carpentier for the llght-heavv vveight championship of the world and then bringing Tunney to meet the winner Gibbons, a light-heavy weight, could “take" the three of them In one week and it might not he a sour idea if he joined the merry throng at fhat. The title in question foisted Carpentier Into a bout with Dempsey and a small fortune. Gib bons, if at all impressive in winning It. might do likewise. — [M national Institution Jrom Coast to Coast*\— l5roromngtving&(Lo* Our Window's Tell an Interesting Story.
