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.

H.v DAMON Rl’NYIN.
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*

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

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

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

throng at fhat. The title in question
