NO HOLIDAY SCRAP
NEAR WASHINGTON
Proposed LoWe-Lewis Affair
Didn't Materialize.
CROWLEY AND STEIN STAND
They Meet Tomorrow Night in Balti-
more-Ristie Leonard Coming
to Life Again.

The fifteen-round fight which was to
be held tomorrow between Tommy Lowe
and Danny Lewis as a sort of holiday
diversion for the lovers of boxing has
been postponed indefinitely.
Johnny O'Connor branched out all by
himself as a promoter on Friday and
the dream lasted nearly a whole day.
Then the hop got wet in the rain, ne
awoke and there is nothing doing. He
tried divers daring expedients TO get
a proper place in which to hold the
bout, but could not get next in time
to let the ready-money boys who were
to recompense him with their admission
fees know where it was to be held, and
this morning he sadly announced that
there would be no fistic festivities 20
celebrate the exploits of the hard-fisted
heroes who furnished the original eX-
cuse for burning your fingers on the
fourth day of the seventh month.
O'Connor Is Hustling.
But in his wild desire to see things
happen Johnny arranged a contention
between Eddie Crowley and Kid Stein,
which will take place before the Nom
pariel Club in Baltimore tomorrow
night Stein is the man who accom-
