Benny Lynch Knocked Out And Hooted From Ring At N. S. C.

London, Oct. 5.

Benny Lynch, only a few months' ago world flyweight cham- pion, was booted from the ring at the National Sporting Club this week. His opponent, Aurel Toma, of Roumanis, knocked him out in the third round after Lynch had given a display that astounded the spectators. He landed only three half-hearted blows and seemed daxed. It was a farcical contest that lasted only six minutes 32 seconds.

Lynch took a hard punch on the chin and fell face downwards on the canvas, where he remained motion- less while he was counted out.

Lynch, who weighed in at the astonishing poundage, for an erst- while flyweight, of out, 0 lb. was flabby and dull eye and his weight definitely had no other effect Uran to slow his feet and dull his fighter,

It was the first knockout Lynch has cycr suffered and some keen followers of boxing cannot remem- ber him being off his feck in any night before.

There was not a sympathetle word anywhere n he was carried out of the ring but the following day the National Sporting Club announced its willingness to help him recaptura the form that made him world fly- weight champion.

LATE RECOVERY BY THE VISITORS UNAVAILING

The Shanghai Interport lawn bowlers now in Hongkong met with their first defeat yesterday when, visiting the Police R.C., they were beaten by 22-19 after a thoroughly enjoyable gamo, in which a high standard of play was revealed.

New Long Jump Record For Women

Paris, Oct. 9.

The German woman athlete, Fraulein Junghaus, established a new world record in the long jump to-day when she leaped 6.07 metres in the course of a contest held at Neuberg.

This is the first time that a woman has bettered the six- metre mark. The old record was held by Japan's field re- presentative, Miss Hitomi, who set the mark ten years ago.

The distance was 5.98 metres.-flavus,
