Ex-Champion New World’s Champion Hur- ries Home to His Father After the Fight. By Alex. Sullivan. 4] DON'T feel any different than I I ever felt,” said Joe Lynch, in his crowded dressing room, after the Might, upon being asked how he felt, now that he Is world's ban- tamweight champion. “I don't know how I'll feel about it, to-morrow, though,” he added, with smile. And what a crowded place was that ‘00m, which was an improvised dress- pg-room near the rear entrance to Madison Square Garden. The record crowd, which filled every inch in the great amphitheatre, was lurgely%cam- posed of Joe Lynch rooters, and it seemed that every one of them want- ed to get in to congratulate him Somebody asked where Joe was go- ing after he left the Garden. “I'm going home to #6 ther,” ae spin 0 Wee my father,’ asked "Didn't he seo another, “Sure he did,” said Joe, but I know ‘how anxious he is to see me and pat the fight?" Suddenly the door opened and some one came in suouting for the boxing gloves that Lynch used in winning the ttle. “Senator them," marked, \ ‘He's already got them,” answesed | exe of the Lynch henchmen. Joe, as is characteristic of him, was @ffident about talkie. He was not the least bit chesty about having won such signai honors In the riug. | ae w Herm: ig a great) sald Lyne! He's hard to hit.

He didn’t look any the worse for wear from his hard encounter with the Italian fighter, His only battle scar outside of his bruised thumb was a out lower lip. “Where are you going now?” some one asked Joe. “rm going up to see Pete" (mean- ing the ex-champion), said Lynch. “That's a good idea," said Eddie Mead, the rotund manager who suc- cessfully guided the west side boy to the world's title. “Why, Herman js away upstairs somewhere near the front of the house,” volunteered one of the Gar- den employees. “That makes no difference,” sald the long climb upstairs. What a crowd surrounded him and followed him up the stairs to where the dethroned title holder was sor- rowfully dressing, Joe went right up to Pete and put out his hand and sald he was sorry that he lost, “Um glad that it was you, Joe, who his eyes. “[ wish you all the success in the world.” said Pete as Joe bade him goodby. “That's a good sportsman,” said eas he made his way to the street, | He's a good loser.

Johnson's willingness to elect Ruppert for the Board of Directors is regarded as an effort on Fistic News: and Gossip By John Pollock his part to split the forces of the “outlaws,” but Col.
