FANS KNEW HERMAN WAS BEATEN
BYL YNCH LONG BEFORE FIFTEEN
ROUND BATTLE CAME TO AN END
THERE was nothing Btrnnge, unuual, startling or
dramatic when the bnnlnm crown wns lifted from the
brow of Pete Herman at Madison Squnrc Garden Wednes
day night. At n pugilistic coronation, which always is
held in conjunction with the obscqulai, history in mado
and there usually la plenty of excitement. In the olden
days tho championship changed hands when the other
fellow was carried out of the ring. Knockouts were
necessary. Hut times havo changed.
When Joe Lynch triumphed over Herman he mined the
finale. Eight chapters before the end he had demonstrated
his superiority and the spectators knew what was to
happen in the last paragraph. It was like turning ocr
the pages of a novel to sco if the hero bumped his head
on the aitar rail and then rending all of the happenings
that led up to it.
In the seventh round everybody in the place knew
that Herman wai licked. This included Herman himself.
Thcreforo tho other eight sessions were superfluous.
Of course, there was a mild thriU when Pete flopped
officially and Joe Humphries caroled tho decision of the
judges. Tho Joe Lynch Admiration Society, formed n
few minutes before, celebrated vociferously as admiration
societies celebrate, many wise ginks smiled knowingly and
pulled tho "i-told-you-jo" stuff, and a lot of other wise
persons many from Philadelphia turned over their
Christmas money to perfect i-tt angers. Hut scenes like
that arc quite common.
We havu seen three championships change hands, and
two were quite impressive. It will be hard to forget the
night at the Manhattan Casino when Denny Leonard
wrested the lightweight title from l'reddy Welsh in th
ninth round. Tho ending was unexpected. Welsh, wedged
in a neutral corner, was being battered unmercifully. He
could not protect himself, and Kid McPartland, tho
referee, stopped the uneven battle. Welsh tried to pro
test, but his legs doubled under him and he almost fell
out of the ring.
There were anticlimaxes g.nloro In the Dempsey
Willard affair in Toledo. Dig .!es took enough punish
ment in the first round to be knocked out a dozen times.
Ho hit the floor seven separutc and tlistim t times ; really
was counted out once, but the referee and Uie freshman
timekeeper were shooting ducks or something. After that
"Wlllard tool; everything Dtmpse had, rocked hi-, younger
foe with a stiff upperi-ut in the third round, and when the
fourth started he tossed a dirty towel in the ring instead
of toeing the scratch.
THAT was a dramatic ending because it irai un
expected. Willard could have stepped nut and
worked a few minutes longer for that 400,000.
Pete Fought as Usual
r THERE was any surprise it was in the showing of
Herman. "You never have seen that boy open up,"
said the insiders. "He does not eitend himself in these
no-decision affairs, but just watch him go when there is
a decision at the end of the fight. You'll be surprised."
Dut Fete did not open up. He fought just the same
as he did in Philadelphia, acting as if his only thought
was to avoid a knockout and last the limit. True, he
tried to fight bark in the later rounds, but the skinny
kid from New York was too mil' h for him and he could
not keep his face away from those pipe-stem arms.
Herman fought his usual fight, only this time he was

not accused of stalling. The only thing that can be Bald
is he lost the title standing up.
Lynch is the sixth bantamweight champion of the
world and the tenth American title holder. George Dixon
was t'e first real bantam champion. The title was clouded
in tho old das and tho Little Chocolnto was tho first
claimant to prove his right to the throne. He became
champion in 1880, and after cleaning up the American
crop the limit was 10." pounds then went to England,
where ho stopped Nunc Wallace, the British champion, in
eighteen rounds.
Dixon outgrew the bantam class and from 1S00 to 1891
the title lapsed. In the East Casper Leon proved his
superiority and Jimmy Darry reigned supreme in the West.
Doth claimed the title and the pair met In Lamont, HI.,
near Chicago, on September 15, 1S04. It was one of the
most grueling battles in ring history, and Darry won by a
knockout in twenty-eight rounds.
Darry went to England two jears later and met Wnlter
Croot for the world's title. Ho knocked out the English
man in the twentieth round. Croot died the following
day, but Darry was exonerated from all blame. Jimmj
retired undefeated in lbOD and Uie title was claimed bj
Terr McGovern. Pedlar Palmer came over from Eng
land to box him for the world's champion-chip and was
knocked out in the first round. Terry became a feather
weight the following year and Harry Forbes claimed tin
title. Ho was knocked out by Praukic Neil in three rounds
on August 13, ll.O.'l.
Neil went to England in 1004 and boxed Joe Dowk r,
the DrltLsh champion, and lost in twenty rounds. After
this the American title holder slumped badly and Jimmy
Walsh claimed the crown. Jimmy boxed Digger Stanley
at 113 pounds in London in 11)00 and the pair went
twenty rounds to n draw. Walsh outgrew his class and
Johnny Coulon claimed the title. He defended it until
1014, when he was knocked out by Kid Williams in three
rounds. Pete Herman won the title on n referee's deci
sion in New Orleans in 1017.
OW we have Joe Tynch, and the Xcv Yorker
' thould prove a popular champion. He is a
regular fighter, a two-fisted Irishman, and more

Can't Keep Hatchet Buried
THE American League battle is on again. Since Dan
Johnson overlooked Harry Prazoe when the board of
directors was named nnd later handed Cap Huston a
wallop in n statement issued in Chicago, letters have been
exchanged nnd Christmas greetings were not included.
Erazee esterday insisted that Johnson resign from the
presidency of the league, nnd Dan has given him the
laugh. More notes arc likely to be exchanged and a nice
little scrap will be well tinder way when Judge Landis
steps in. The judge has his work cut out for him.
Every time tins hatchet Is buried Fonielwdv digs it up
again and war is renewed. New York, Chicago nnd
Doston arc lined up solidly against Johnnn, and there
is no chance for a compromise. Each side suspects the
other, and there can be nothing but trouble in the league
as long as both factions remain.
PERHAPS Judge Landis is a big enough man to
straighten out the difficulties. At least, ice

Ily nOl'OIAS STKWAUT
Coach of the t'n i-rsti of lVnnvwnl:i
skicrer Team, pit- -co I, elate Champions.
THH Intercollegiate Soccer League
competition of 1!)20 proved to be
one of the closest eer Mitgud in the
history of the event, due principally to
tho btrcngth of the l'l'iinlvunla and
1'rinreton teams.
Princeton defented each of its oppo
nents, with tin- esception of l'eunsyl
Minia, hy n margin of four goals,
Pennsylvania, on the other hand, waa
erratic, defeating Yule and Cornell by
the odd goal, llnrwitd by four goals
and its undent rival, Huverford, by
the heavy .score of nine goals to three.
Huverford, however, outside of
Princeton was the omy team which
scored heavily on I'eniisjlvania, where
as no team ouuide of Pennsylvania
had .scored more thun one goal on
Princeton. In each of the three games
placed between Princeton and Pennsyl
vania, one, the regular Uiigue game
and the other two in the effort to de
cide the championship, Pennsylvania
had easily the greatest number of .shots
at the opponents goal. Princeton's
strength lay in her defense, while the
Pennsylvania strength was in the at
tack. The strength of the nttnek was
demonstrated in the second half of the
final play off when Pennsylvania scored
three goals to none, the linal score be
ing four goals to two.
The hist exposition of the game
given by the two teams was in the plnj -off
nt Princeton. The whole Piinceton
team worked together well, passing long
und trapping nicely, with n consider
able uiiiount of dash und uggie.saivc
ne.ss. The Peniisj lvania team with the
nvi-nnlinn of oni. t'nrwnril who wns mnil.
lfestl off form gave u good c'Nhibi- I
lion of quick, n-'i urato, short passing, I
t-anstantly putting the bull in the!
Princeton gecil area.
Good team at Hinerford
The Huverford team played a nit--game,
particu ailj in the half and for
ward lines, bung u little weak in the
back division. '1 lie team should have'
made ii much better showing thun it did.
but traveled in u certain measure of hud '
luck. Con-i-l.Mahk' credit is due llu -
eiford for di u-luping so good a tmiu
nut of the p.im it of material at luiii-l
ut the beginning of the season. The
team as ci whole played tho long push
ing gnme which lius always been char
ac ii ristic ot Huverford.
Cornell tied with Huverford on
points for thiid nhic-c. In the game at
Ithaca with Pennlvaiiiu tho Cornel
ians put ui) '" "f 'he stiflest defen
sive hnltlcs of their history. The de
fense in tins i use also was the strong
part of tin- team and it was m-wic v
tested in this gume. Tho Penn iittuclt
bombarded the Cornell goal incc-ssjutly,
but so carefully was it guurdi-d bv ihu
halves and leu ks that no close shots
- ouhl bo Hindi and Moliuet in goal
saved nil the long shots. It was n t until
well on in the second half tl at th--Pi

the defence i. the convei-sioii b pen

To one who has followed the develop

vcars the highest degree of skill shown
by the teams of this year indicates an
increase of plu.vlng ability of not less
tlinn ,"0 per ci nt and also indicates that
in n very few .vcars nn American col

1920 SAW MANY BRILLIANT
FEATS ON THE GOLF LINKS
Wonderful Playing of Alcxa Stirling Outstanding Feature.

P.y SANDY
GOLF did quite as well ni any other
snort in the erent hceeeni siMison of
llil'O. The game regained the promi
nence it had nti ained when war inter
rupted the progress, nnd then added
more popularity. There is no question
but that more folks In America between
the a-jes of twenty -five und seventy-live
play golf thun any other outdoor game.
Followers of golf were fortunate in
1020 in the excellence of tho ploy by
those who are nt the peak in nniateur as
well as professional competition. When
the standuid set by experts In a sport
is high the example invigorates the entire-
world of that particular branch of
athletic i-iideiivor. It places the- star at
which all are shooting high and worth
striving for.
There were many brilliant feats of
golf in 11120. but the foiemost was the
w lulling of the British open champion
ship on the Deal link, on the Kent
coast of Liigland. by (ieoige Duncan,
the Scotch professional. On tin- last
thirty-six holes of that championship
Duni-nn swung around in Tl and 72.
and brought himself from the ruck Into
the winning position.
Vardon's fireat ICITort
Perhaps the second greati-it effort of
the. ear wus made b,- Hairy Yurdon,
the- veteran llntish professional who
finished in n tie for second place for
the- American open championship nt
Toledo. Vardon had won tin- same
event twent.v .vcars before and. although
be wns moie than fifty t-ars of age anil
hud been taking part in inhibition
matches for weeks before the Toledo
event, he looked like a sine winner of
the title wlii-n he had but nine holes
to phi, und finished but one shot be
hind the winner.
Third position in the list of brilliant
accomplishments goes tu Mi-s Ale-x.i
Stirling, of Atlanta Miss Stirling won
both the Cntindinn and I'nited States
woman's championships this .veur, but
the winning was not the most remark
able thing about her 11)20 effort. Miss
Stirling was expected to win the double
title, so it was the high quality of her
nlnv which drew the praise of all fed-
ovvers of golf. At Hamilton, In the

Of love and laughter, of life's pain and

Tho anoxesxeept hills above the restless

That comes to storm tho darkness of

Beyond the aleaxn that croxens the ?tills

With rhpthmio tread of countless
