with his success in the box.’
Started Behind the Plate.
Bradshaw started his career as n
receiver. ‘Be might have been catch-
ing yet but for an injury to the mid-
dle finger of his left hand-the mitt
hand of a backstop. This made it
tough for Joe to control the big
glove. He was still catching. how-
ever. when he entered service at
Jackson barracks during the war.
Then his team's pitcher was thrown
me
in New Orleans nearby. Brads aw
assayed to ritch and won his game
3 to 2. No more catching for Joe.
And his work in the box so impress-
ed the New Orleans club bosses they
signed him to a contract for 1920.
They kept him part of the season
and then gave him a ticket for Chat-
tanooga. Joe had been considering
an offer to jump the game and play
independent bail and work for an
oil compactst in Memphis. and the
order to join the Chattanooga club
decided the matter for him. He went
to Memphis.
Now maybe Joe got an inkling of
the publicity that was to be thrown
on the oil business. Anyhow he
changed his mind about an oil fu-
ture last spring and obtained rein-
statement. Chattanooga allowed him
to go to Toledo. The tail end outfit
kept him all season. with the excep-
tion for a simweek vacation with the
Beaumont club. also a. cellar outfit.
Laboring in the Ohio and Texas
basements Joe managed to break
even for the year with a total of H
games won and lost.

Here is a chap who. two years ago.

ing the bushes for big league materi-
al these days—that they talked Mc-
Graw into signing him. szn did

That was lt’t season. Lindstrom
hit .270 for the year and was hitting
well over .300 when the season end-

ship Bout Will Be Last Held Until May
NEW YORK. March 18.—New
York's fistic world will say farewell
to important boxing matches for a
period of seven weeks after the Joe
Lynch-Abe Goldstein match for the
bantamweight title next Friday night
at Madison Square Garden. The day
after this little affair the circus will
move into the arena. where it will
hold forth until May. and the next
boxing show at the Garden will not
be staged until May 5th. In the
coming scrap for the 118 pound title
Champion Joe Lynch will undoub-
edly be the favorite when the men
enter the ring. Lynch knocked out
Goldstcin in the eleventh round back
in 1920. but before the sudden ter—
mination of the contest many per-
sons thought Goidstein was winning
on points. Despite this fact Lynch
will be ”slightly favored to win over'
his fellow townsman. for the cham-
pion. like Johnny Dundee. fights best
when important honors are at stake.
But Lynch will have other matters
besides his title to defend. By de-
feating Goldstein he will not only
retain his title. but also will wipe
out the doubt which exists in the
minds of many ring followers con-
cerning his ability and true weight;
It has been many months since the
West Side battler has defended his
title against a fighter of any great
reputation and it has been a long
time since Joe has made the bantam-
weight limit of 118 pounds. No one
realizes better how the skeptics feel
concerning Lynch than the cham-
pion himself and his manager. Eddie
Mead. For months the fighter and
his manager have been discounting
the reports that Lynch has gone
back and that he is no longcra
legitimate bantam. ‘
The last few fights Lynch has an-
gaged in have been fought through
the South. The majority were staged
above the bantamweight limit. but.
according to Eddi Mead. Lyhch only
weighed 119 for t csc contests.
"Just wait until Friday night,"
said Mead ycsterday, “and Lynch
will prove that he is still the best
bantamweight in the world as well
as being a legitimate 118 pounder.
None of this talk about Lynch go-
in: back or his inability to make the
weight ever came up until we start-
cd challenging Johnny Dundee for
the featherweight title. Just because
Joe would like to add another title
to his name doesn't mean that he
can’t make the weight or that he
doesn’t think he is still the best ban-
tamwolgbt {anthem today.
“Lynch in up at the farm in New
City right now and the next few
days will find him rounding into the
best shape of his career. I don't
know hpw folks figure that he has
gone back. Joe has been so near
fighting trim for the last month that
he will only do about seven days of
boxing for his fight with Goldstein.
Just wait until Friday and you'll see
that Joe is still a. member of the
fighting Irish."
Mead is not alone in his thought
that Lynch is still the kingpin of the
bantams. The other day a man who
is a close student of the ring game.
in reply to a statement that Lynch
has gone back said: “Don‘t fool
yourself. Lynch is a. darn good fight-
er and he's not going to be toppled
of! his throne by the first good man
he faces. as a lot of people seem to
think. Besides. Lynch is one of the
few boxers who has regained a. title
after losing it. Any fighter who can
do this has a world of courage and
cannot be figured out of the running
very easily." .
When Lynch faces Goidstein next
Friday he will find an entirely dif-
ferent fighter from the one he knock
ed out: back :in 1920. This fight oc-
curred early in Goldstein's career
and plenty of bouts since then has
raised his standard of fighting con
Siderabiy. The East Side bar-tam is
handled ry Willie Lewis, who for-
merly gained considerable fame in
the ring. Under such able tutelage
Goidsteln has proved an apt pupil.
and to-dsy stands as one of the best
boxers in the bantainweight sinks.
Goldsteln used to be almost purely
a defensive fighter. but recently he
has developed quite a punch and also
has gained in ag’greslveness. In the
last year he has knocked out Danny
Edwards. Frankie Costs: and John-
ny Nasselie, while he has gained the
decision over such boxers as Frank-
is Conway. Chick Suggs and Joe Bur
man. He has fought frequently and
against opponents of established re-
putations and did not get the short
end of a bout during the year of
1928.
