If Joe Lynch, the international
boxing sensation, fails to sock Pete
Herman, bantam champion, on the
chin for keeps in Wa-terbury on Labor
Lay many a New Yorker is going
broke-. According to inside informa
tion that comes from the big city
Lynch'a pals are betting their heads
oft and they are going line, hooker
and linker on him that he flattens
Herman for the fatal ton in the
Brass City. So as to be in the best
of shape Lynch will do no more fight
ing until the championship contest
as he doesn't want to take any
chances of being injured.
Joe is well aware of tho fact that
or. Labor Day he gets his one big
chance in the game and he wants to
be fit as a fiddle. Connie McCarthy,
who looks after the training of Lynch,
says Joe is in the old pink of condi
tion, that he is doing lisht work at
a local gymnasium and that ten days
before the Herman battle Tie will do
his training at Shugrue's gym in the
Erass City.
Chick Kenny, a noted plunger on
New York race tracks, has J2.000
that he wants to bet on Lynch to
knock Champion Herman out. Chick
says he will take $10,000 to $2,000
that Lynch wins via the sleep route.
Chick has won many a dollar on
Lynch and is ready to back him to
the limit. When Joe Lynch flattened
Kid Williams in Philadelphia Kenny
won $3,500 on the result and when
Joe won the referee's decision over
Memphis Pal Moore, Kenny won
something like $1,800.
Chick will be at the ringside with
a big bankroll and anybody that
wants any part of it can have it.
