Again Forfeits Deposit For Being Overweight

SPECIAL TO THE "N.C.D.N."

Glasgow, Sept. 28.

"K.O." Morgan, leading American contender for the world bantamweight championship, outpointed Benny Lynch, of Glasgow, former flyweight champion of the world, in a 12-round contest here last evening.

The fight should have been at 122 lb. but Lynch weighed 127 lb. 14 ounces and forfeited his deposit of £500, This is the second time that Lynch has forfeited a deposit for failing to make the agreed weight. In a bout against Jackie Jurich some weeks ago labelled for the flyweight championship of the world, the Scot failed to get down to the weight and forfeited his title and a deposit.—Reuter.
