Prubtishing Co. bn Now York Weta ED “KID” LEWIS is we''er- Wels’: champion of the world. He won the title from Jack Britton at Dayton, O., night before Jast, on the decision of Referee Bau- Mann, at the end of « fast twenty- round fight. It makes no difference that many of the spectators and critics around the ring disagreed with the referee and thought that Britton was en- titled to the decision. A referee's de- cision ts always final. Tho refereo is eupposed to be selected for his spe- elal ability as a judge of boxing. ‘When the rival boxers agree upon a referee they place the matter of do- ciding winner and loser entirely in his hands, For @ long’ time it has seemed in- evitable that Lewis must succeed.

In shorter bouts Britton has managed to nose Lewis ev+ But Lewis had years the ad. Vantage in age. Britton, veteran of hundreds of ood fights—a star lightweignt when Vackey McFarland in bis prime—was standing stil if not going back as a fighter, while sewis was always coming up The thirteenth bout, it seemed, was unlucky for Britton,’ Lewis always considered thirteen his lucky number.

A few ‘weeks ago Bonny Leonard took the lightweight title from Freddy Welsh, Lewis is English, He was boro in London, and his parents were Eng- sh Jew When Welsh won the Mghtweight title from Ritchie in Eng- land, Lewis challenged him, but was turned down, He went to Australia, where he fought well and made a at hit, Coming to this country e made his home in New York and @ent to England for his family, He ts @ little under twenty-three years of age, having been born in October, 1894, His real name 1s Gershon Mende- lof. The “Ted Kid Lewis” was as- sumed for ring purposes, Lewis is one of the cleverest fight- ers turned out by the English school of boxing. He has all the English style, with additions of his own. He is white skinned, with Meht hair, white eyebrows and pale blue ey: His muscles are wiry, and stand out #0 shartply under his pale skin that he gives the impression of being overtrained when he 1s really in first class fighting condition, A perfectly fair boxer at all times, Lewis has never been known to use any questionable methods in the ring He is remarkably skilful and very fast. He is always aggressive. His welf-confidence | out being in the least conceited he has no fear of defeat in any fight He fought Mike Gibbons, giving Mike at least ten pounds the best of the weights, and carried the fight to Mike as if he'd never heard of Mike He hadn't the slightest awo of Mike « famous punch, and he rushed Mike almost continuously for ten rounds. Probably that fight furnished Gib- bons the greatest surprise of his life, for Mike had no idea that a man within the welterweight limit would even stand up to meet him. same tactics have been used by id in every fight with Jack Brit- ton. He has always nh aggressively trying at all times.

Copyright, 1917, by The Press Publishing Co. (The New York Evening World.) ASEBALL could bring a sult against the exhibition flashed by the B Yanks and A's yesterday, The pitching was scurrilous, the fielding was slanderous, the throwing was Mbelous and the batting was irrational. It was one of those baseball hashes that is copiously ap- preciated by the fan who likes to see somebody get on the baselines in addition to the umpires. ¢ The Yanks have the A's in thelr pockets. This is the fifth straight javelin they have tossed into ‘em in three days. If we only had to play the A’s all season that old pennant would be in now, The game was as loose as pajamas, The Athletics’ batting was heavily oversubscribed, but they didn’t seem particularly anxious to win, Having the caboose position sewn up for the summer the boys are only playing for the exercise, They don’t figure the Washington birds can overtake them unless Griff's team spurt out on a slump and continue thelr spurting slump until October, Score, seven to six, with the A’s fighting hard to lose. The Phils have stretched the Giants’ first place crown terribly. The Giants were wearing it again for a brace of hours yesterday, but It wae so loose that they rattled right out of it, After having done time for a month or so in first place, the Giants were naturally fond of the old bungalow, but the Phils evicted 'em ruthlessly, The Giants clipped Alex again in the first reel, but Mayer evened up in the cond. The two teams clattered around in the hot sun for five hours and wound up just where they started. Seventeen thousand saw the first game and seventeen thousand saw the second. There were very few escapes among the audience. The repentant Robins curled up for the Braves yesterday. The boys were heartily ashamed of their gluttonous trick of dragging the Boston decision disputers away from four games and tried to make amends, Having absconded with four games, the Robins turned two back to the Braves. It looked as if the Brooklyn outfit had started to shake a leg in the race, but yesterday's results puts ‘em right back in the razzberry division, Flatbush fans will return to thelr old habit of gathering around the nocturnal pennant with the aid of the amber strategy that flows from any one of the six shiny splgots. Now that they have dragged Hans Wagner out of his retirement, why don’t Pittsburgh fans induce the Pirates to also come out of their cocoon? CORB IS STILL THE LBADING BATBOY IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE, out his jaw and fouls off a few dozen. His motto is to spoil the good ones, mob, but then, every night lunchwagon has wheels, too, It doesn't get anywhere either, Nick Altrock is for rowdyiem. Nick says it makes him sick at heart to see husky ballplayers ordering orange frappe with chocolate syrup trimmings.

She went right on about her business, took the highweight Bayberry Candle into camp in the first six furlongs and had enough left to stand off the challenge of the well meant Flittergold in the closing strides, Bayberry Candle, the luke- warm favorite of the race, showed a good performance, but she didn't go turn and was eating up the winner at the end.
