By Vincent Treanor. OB LYNCH recrowned bantamweight champion at the Velodrome last night, and Ninth and Tenth Avenues haven't gone asleep yet. The pride of tne west side robbed Johnny Buff, the game little Jerseyite, of one of his titles in the most ruthless fashion. After battering little Johnny from post to pillar in one of the most one-sided titular matches ever seen, Lynch suddenly cut loose in the fourteenth round and inside of six seconds the fight was over. Lynch bounded from his corner and Johnny was hardly on his feet before two rights and two lefts to the jaw put him down for the first and only time. A towel tossed into the ring at this moment ended the fight Just before the bell sounded for the beginning of the fatal round for Buff Referee Peter Haley went to Buff's corner and suggésted to his seconds that Johnny stop. Buff wouldn't have it. He insisted on answering the bell, which sent him finally to crushing defeat. Buff never had a chance to win from the first round: Lynch had too many left hands and he kept them in Johnny's face continuously. The Lynch left was like a gate and Johnny could never get inside it. Although outclassed at every point, it must be said that Buff gave an ex- hibition of gameness and grit that was as was admirable, He rarely took a backward step. Instead he walked in to Lynch, vainly trying to land a right or a left, but varely did he suc- ceed in reaching a vulnerable spot. Instead he was punished frightfully All the while Lynch popped him with everything in the punch cate- gory, and soon had the , Jerseyite blood-smeared, Thereafter Johnny's face was a red smudge. Buff through out stood up under an attack that might have felled a welterweight After the sixth round it became ap- Parent that he had no chance ex- cept by landing a sensational one- punch knockout Lynch fought like a champion all the way, while Buff showed little or nothing of the class that made him beat Pete Herman for the title that now shifts to Lynch. The little fel- low has been out of the ring for seven months, most of which he spent in a doctor's care. He con- tracted blood poison and not so long ago it was feared he would have to suffer amputation of his right arm. But that isn’t taking anything away from Lynch. Joe showed last night that he is a regular champion and entitled tu the honors which he won, it seemed, all too easily. Twenty thousand people saw the fight in the ‘giant-like bowl. It was the ‘common people's night’ due to| ters in a neutral corner Johnny man- aged to get a right to Joe's chin, but evidently it Johnny a dozen times on the face with his left and after the last one nearly sent timekeeper the $1 to $7 for seats. Sport's swell- dom, the $265-dollar set, was con- spicuous by its absence. All that re- mained to make the affair entirely democratic was a speech from Mayor Hylan against “the interesta,"* Blow by Blow Story of the Fight FIRST ROUND—They went into a clinch almost immediately, Buff beat- ing Lynch to a bit of infighting. When they broke Joo hooked a light left to Buff’s chin, At close quarters again Lynch held Buff and pounded his ribs With his right hand. Joe landed two straight lefts in the open body, Three more straight lefts by Lynch and Johnny grazed Joe's chin with a right swing. Joe put two lefts to Johnny's face and then snapped a right to the jaw. Johnny missed again with a right swing and Joe stabbed pipp, twice fn the next second. Johnny reached to the stomach with his left and Joe clipped him on the chin with a left hook. Buff then landed a right on Joe’s jaw which dug Joe to real action. He began to dance and landed rights and lefts in succession on Jobhny’s chin. Joe's round. SECOND ROUND—Joe missed with three lefts, landed the fourth and then made Buff's right go round his head. Joe bobbed out of the way of John's right’ twice and then stabbed him in the mouth with a stiff leff. Joe was keeping his left in John's face and suddenly Johnny hot a right across to Lynch's chin, fe missed the same punch in the next attempt and Joe laughed at him Joe had no trouble bobbing his head out of the way of Johnny's right swings. Johnny was having trouble finding Joe's jaw with his ‘right while Joe continually landed his left on the mouth until the old gore showed. Joe's round. THIRD ROUND—Buff caine out with a cut lip temporarily fixed up by colodeum. Johnny reached Joe's chin with a light left’and they came to close quarters. He hooked the same hand to Joe's chin. Joe came back with a right elip to Johnny's ear. Johnny missed by a mile with a right swing as they went to close quarters, during which Lynch used a right inside uppercut tice. Johnny couldn't get inside Joe's long left and then Joe tried a right swing on the chin which, turned Johnny around Three lefts by Lynch had Johnny’ nose looking like an over-ripe straw- berry, Joe stuck in six lefts to the face and one to the stomach, It looked one-sided at this stage. They both used inside uppercuts at close quarters and when they broke Johnny fell short with a right to the Jaw Buff didn’t seem as strong as usual Lynch's round easily, It was neat work by both, but not so exciting us the Jerome-Wolff affair. FOURTH ROUND—They danced around and Joe crossed an inside right to Johnny's chin and then chugged the same hand to the body twice. Joe had no trouble outbox- ing the Jerseyite and soon had his face well smea again, Johnny put everything he had in a right to the jaw, but it went around Joe's neck. Joe tried a left jab followed by a right to the jaw, He missed the latter. It was a boxing lesson !o Buff so fa: Four lefts to the mouth and a right cross to the chin by Lynch nearly put Buff down tried another right to the chin ant Johnny looked in a bad way. Johnny then tried a right hook, but fell short Lynch kept his left hand popping into Johnny‘s face and Buff's arms seemed all to short to retalliate Lynch again. FIFTH KOUND—Joe clipped two light lefts to Jobmny'’s chin and banged him on the ribs twice before Buff could land a punch. Again Joe popped @ hard left to Johnay's nose. danced back and repeated the punch three times.

Johnny's face while the latter was looking for a cuance to land some- thing himself. jo far he hadn't landed a real punch on the west sider. Johnny had no blocking system for Joe's lefts to the mouth and looked hopelessly outclassed. Joe seemed to be hitting him any time and placo, he wanted, Johnny missed with a wide right swing and Joe spun him around with a right couter to the jaw. Joe danced around Johany shooting his left to Buff's sore nose and for good measure pounding his right to the ribs.

Johnny finally landed a right upper- cut to the stomach, but Joe came back witha right on the ear. Johnny was still walking after Joe, but Lynch's slender light left always un. settled him when he was about to start a punch. Johnny swung a light right around Joe's neck and hooked a left to the chin. Joe nailed him with a right on the jay that turned Johnny completely around, Joe shot two rights to the jaw, danced around a bit, landed two more lefts to Johnny's bleeding face and then nearly sat him down with # right cross to the jaw. Johnny tried with a right swing, but Lynch blocked it with his elbow und as Buff made another attempt Lynch ducked under it, Johnny couldn't quite understand Lynch's methods of war- fare and again gave him the my: terious once over as the bell sent them to their corners.

One ringsider complained that Buff had too much make up on and he better have a key going home, for his wife wouldn't know him. It looked too easy for Lynch, who scored another round. “NINTH ROUND—Joe landed two rights to Johnny's chin and then proceeded to make it ft He battered Johnny all around the right, using hooks, counters, rights and lefts and ail manner of punches.

For the first time in this round the fighters, Buff was to receive $30,000 from Lynch if he lost his title, in which case Lynch was to receive 50 per cent. of the net receipts, from which he was to pay Buff. If Buff had won he would have drawn down 40 per cent. of the net receipts and Lynch 10 per cent. As the net receipts were only $41,699.30 this left only $20,849.65 for Lynch to pay Buff's guarantee of $30,000. Lynch had to give nearly $16,000 to’ bring Buff’s guarantee up to $30,000. The gross receipts, including the government tax of 10 per cent., were $48,383.40, The State received $2,194.70, which was 5 per cent. of $43,894.00, About 15,800 people saw the fight, of whom 14,293 paid. This is the first time in the history of the ring that a fighter h won a title without receiving any pay for his victory, let alone paying $9,150.85 to ais defeated opponent. The tickets were sold for the fight, including the government tax, as follows: 1,690 ac $1.10 . Joe seemed to relent.

O'Connell flashed a nice brand of boxing for a boy who'has recently graduated from the simon pure ranks, and he was awarded the judges’ decision. The wearing apparel of the two par- ticipants in the opening quarrel was a good omen for Joe Lynch. Both boys were wrapped around green tights. Patsy Haley acted as third man in the ring for the opener. The judges for the evening were Kid McPartland and Tommy Shortell, two capable gen- tlemen. Jersey City was represented in the second = affair.
