WORLD TITLE BOUT

FOR WEMBLEY

LYNCH AND MENTANO FOR JANUARY BOUT

TWO COUNTRIES CLAIM CHAMPION

(By HAROLD LEWIS)

London, November 17. WEMBLEY announced yesterday another world's championship fight. At the Empire Pool in January, Benny Lynch, of Glasgow, will meet Small Montana, of America, for the world's fly-weight title.

This fight has been discussed for a long time. Our Boxing Control Board claim the world title for Lynch; in America it is claimed for Montana. The clash of views arises from the fact that some years ago two claimants to the title met in America and boxed a draw. They were Frankie Genaro and Midget Wolgast.

Genaro came to Europe styled a champion, and was beaten under championship conditions by Young Perez, a Spaniard, who was knocked out later by Jackie Brown, of Manchester. Thus, with Lynch beating Brown, one "eg" of the title belongs to us. Montana has beaten Wolgast, and the other "leg" therefore belongs to him
