Bantam Abe

Little Abe Goldstein, after having wandered several years in the wilderness without that manna of recognition by his fellows which every good man covets, hit Joe Lynch on the jaw, and became bantamweight boxing champ of the world.

Two world titles are now held by Hebrews: Abe Goldstein and Benny Leonard. Other titles are held by a Filipino, Villa; an Italian, Dundee; two Irish-Americans, Walker and McTigue; a German-American, Greb; a Scotch-Irish-American, Dempsey. All but Villa, Dundee and McTigue were born in the U. S.

Mr. Goldstein took all of the 15 rounds, except one, from the veteran Mr. Lynch. Twice he nearly had a knock-out as Lynch stretched dejectedly over the ropes, his jaw bruised by Mr. Goldstein's "one-two" movement.
