CAHOLAN lip A PALE, frail, ratt-ltka prodigy of the ring Is Joe Lynch. The first boy to convince Kid WIN Hams that he no longer was the boss bantam was Joe Lynch when he knocked out the one-time bantam terror in less than four rounds. The lad who almost took the wild out of Wilde was Joe Lynch when he laced the British ring freak for twenty rounds, yet lost the decision because it was a '"nlf a point for British grit," and Jole was an American. The rirfg artist who proved unani mously that he was n star when he beat Tele Herman in Waterbury, Conn., Labor Day was Joe Lynch. Here we have another ring freak who has fought and beat the best his dlvl elon boasts, yet he is n boy without a title. A la McFarland Will Lynch have the same luck that befell I'ncky McFarlnnd wade through his class without one chance at the title? Two years ago Lynch forced Eddie O'Kcefe to stop with an injured hand, then n few weeks later knocked out Kid Williams. He reached the bantam crest. Lynch's match following his Wil liams triumph was nearly disastrous. He walked into Benny Valger when Benny was going right, and all was not pleasant for the lanky Joe. Lynch, however, has not taken on nny weight in the last two years has grown stronger and now is the most dangerous bantam contender. Rangy Bantam Lynch has it on all ths bantams in height and reach. He is the lankiest bantam in the game. He has virtually the same height and reach measure ments as Tcndler, yet is at least four teen pounds under Tendler's weight. Lynch is an excellent hitter. In all his recent lights he has been de pending too much upon his right hand and overlooking the valuable asset of a good left. That Williams victory gave Lynch the impression he was a one- punch knockout king and that idea al-J most ruined him for a time when he bumped into one squall after another. Only orio other bantam has been conceded n chance for Herman's crown. Tommy Walsh has been waging a campaign in behalf of Joe Burman for the last year with no result. The closest Herman and Burman came to meeting was at the Olympia lost year, when they were matched to clash in n special show, but Herman ran out of the bout. Burman vs Lynch ' Burman and Lynch will meet at Sbibe Park on Wednesday night. These are the best two boys of their weight in the game. Lynch showed his class against Herman. Burman never had this chance, but must hav! class if he hopes to beat the freakish Lynch. Pete Herman has not defended his crown slnco he beat Kid Williams nearly three years ago. Lynch and Burman both have qualified for a title meeting. Will the winner of this bout be given a chance against Herman? U. S. WINS DOUBLES Williams and Johnson Forced to Play Five Sets by Lycett and Thomas PLAY IS SENSATIONAL FROM AUSTRALIANS: West Side Tennis Club, Forest Hills, L. I., Sept. C The United States team got off to another running start in the international tennis competition on the , clay courts here this afternoon by win- ntng the doubles match, the first event 'on the program today. B. Norris Wil liams, 2d, former Philadelphian and now of Boston, paired with AVnllace M. Johnson, of the Quaker City, defeated the Australian pair, Lycett and ! Thomas. It took five sets before the winning pair was decided, 0-2, 0-4, 2-0. 3-0, 0-0. The Americans started well and played the Antipodcans virtually off i their feet in the first set. Lycett and Thomas steadied a bit ii: the next and made their American rivals work harder for this set. The Australians speeded up their playing and worked with greater steadiness in the third and fourth sets. At the close Williams, who previously had been erratic, steadied for lightning fast service and volleys to tally the match with six games in a row.

"On Thursday we beat the Hills dale bunch, five love, and when we stack up against this gang from Ken sington we go flooie. It ain't right. 1 ay, It ain't right." Terhaps It wasn't, but the fact re mains that Harrowgate gave the home crowd a most beautiful trimming and made it so unanimous that no one was in doubt. A -score of 0 to 2 t nm conclusive.

A big crowd was present last night when Manager Ycabsley led his men to defeat. For a time it looked as if the home team would win, for the sluggors fell on Bill Wilson's curves and ham mered in two runs in the initial Inning. That looked like, a million until the sixth, when Nolan, who received an ad vance in salary, opened with a double and scored the run which really won the game. Two had been counted before that time, one in the second and the other in the fifth. Exit Boone In the sixth Umpire George Boone made a decision at second base which made a hit with every one except the Harrowgate crowd' nnd the umpire be hind the plate. Pngctt was on first and Miller hit to CrutherB. It looked like nn .nsy ouble play, but Allic McWll- Hams dropped the ball. He stretched out nnd tried to pick it up before the runner arrived and Boone said he did it. Immediately there was much confu sion. Boone refused to chauge his de cision, nnd when appealed to, Umpire Sam Griffiths, who officiated behind the plate, reversed the ruling. Indignant because his decision had been changed and chagrined because his integrity had been questioned, Boone right field fence for a hoirie run. Vitt filed to Walker. Roth Bkled to Strunk.

AMERICANS ALL PREVIOUS DOPE Tilden and Johnston, New Doubles Team, Crush Brookes and Patterson in Four-Set Match ALL OF VISITORS LOSE By SPICK HALL TT HAS always been nn undisputed rule of tennis that long practice to gether Is essential to produce a win ning doubles team. Looking over the list of champious It will be noted thnt It was a number of years that each pair played together nnd practiced team work before they were able to get to the pinnacle of the doubles game. Hackett and Alexander, Brookes and Wilding (Australian), MrLoughltii and Bundy, the Doherty brothers (Eng land), Ward nnd Wright, Decugls and Ayme (France). Dixon and Barrett (England), Jones nnd Doust (Aus tralia), Gobert And Laurentz (France), Froltihclm and Kreur.er (Germany), Powell nnd Schwengcrs (Canada), and many other famous pairs labored from one season's end to another to get their team-play working smoothly enough to compete against the trained pnirs against whom they were to be pitted In championship battles. Rule Fractured But the old rule was smashed to smithereens yesterday when BUI Til den and Billy Johnston, runner-up and winner of the lull) all-comers singles. paired off and aften fifteen minutes secret practice, their first attempt at doubles together, tore through the crack Australian pair, Brookes nnd Gerald Patterson for an overwhelming four set victory, 0-4. 4-0. 0-4, 0-3. And it must be remembered that just is Pat terson bears the title of world's singles champion, he nnd Brookes the same crown In doubles. So the feat that Tilden and Johnston performed was really one of the greatest In tennis his tory. Critics here are Inclined to give Billy Johnston nil the better of it and in fact his play was more consistently bril liant than Tilden's. ot the same time the lean, hard-hitting Philadelphian was always In the match and accounted for many ace shots during the four sets. Johnston acted ns captain of the team, and It must be said that he con ducted the attack against the wily sons oi the Southern Cross in masterly fash ion. But Tilden did what many other players would not have done; he abided by the decisions of Johnston on all oc casions, and this hnd the effect of pro ducing not only a wonderful nnd un beatable brand of mechanical tennis, but also a smooth-working machine thnt no one who did not know It for n fact would have believed was simply n make shift team, as it were, put together for one match. Deadly Smashing Throughout the match Johnston shot over his remarkable volleys and deadly smashes with the same effectiveness that RUTH'S 2$ HOME RUNS MADE OFF 19 HURLERS Boston Baby Plays No Favorites in Equaling Buck Freeman's Major League Record A'S TAKE POUNDING By "EDWIN J.

The only difference is he hasn't crowned Walter and he has smacked Win. But there are few yea. very, very few whom the Boston baby hasn't soaked this season. As sufficient bncking for the above take n glance nt his list of twenty -five home runs, which eqnalR the major league record of Htick Freeman, made two long decadeR ago.

The ball bounced in the middle of Twentieth street. Third time up, slow balls were offered. Ruth smacked one that went on a line to right and cracked the fence about a foot below the top for a double.

Johnston In singles contest this afternoon t Forest Hills In the international 1 lawn tennis matches he had usd on the previous day against Tilden in the singles. Patter son put nil the smoke he had on his backhand Lawford and his forehand drives, while the crafty Brookes used every trick he had In stock, but their efforts availed nothing in the face ot the fine genernlship of Johnston and the combined power of the Americans' crisp offensive play. The Americnns not only won the doubles match, but they took the two singles matches. Wallace Johnson com pletely outplayed Randolph Lycett, win ning at 0-4, 0-.1, 0-4. and Norris WIN Hams conquered R. V. Thomas, 8-0, 0-.1. 0-1. It is a fact not to be overlooked that three of the four members of the Amer ican team were Philadclphlans, John ston, the Callfornian, being the only one that does not claim the Quaker City as his home.

He can hit all kinds, slow balls, fast balls, spltters anything. All he did yesterday was to get five hits for nine bases, score three runs and drive in four. THE A's took a 15-7 lacing and looked worse than the score. There was a small crowd on hand, which was fortunate for the Mackmen, for fewer spectators make few Jeers, as the 1. R. T. would say. Every time the A'a retired the Sox the crowd clapped with biting sarcasm. , Noyes and Oeary were walloped for twenty -five hits, which went for a total of forty-one bases. Included in the extra base blows were seven doubles and three triples, besides Ruth's elr cult smash. Harry Hooper had tw of the doubles and two of the tri ples. The A's did a bit of hitting them selves. They gathered twelve sae" blows off Ram Jones, but most of them came In the latter part of the game. the park caretl.
