is, came next, and when they stepped into
the middle Of the ring, appeared to be on
even terms 30 far as weight was concerned,
but In the early rounds Lewis demonstrated
that he has had more experience than the
local boy. Lewis reached Lowe often on
the head and body, but the blows did not
seem to discomfort Lowe In the least. Lowe
reserved his strength for infshtlng. and when
they closed 10 the Washingtonlan pummsled
Lewis hard and often. Lewis hammered
away at loves head, but finding be could

round Lowe showed superior qualities, and
while Lewis appeared 70 have something
the best Of 1t up to that time, bored In on
his opponent repeatedly, and Lewis showed
the effects Of 1t. After they broke from the
clinch they delivered q couple Of good blows
apiece, but Lowe certainly had the better Of
the round. This gave the local boy more
confidence, and while Lewis forced the mill

swung on Lewis, and although he did not
make solid connection, Lewis foot slipped,
which gave 1t the appearance OF knock
down and enthused the followers Of Lowe,

head and body blows that were effective.

appeared to be even at the end OF the last
round, Kid Sullivan, who refereed the
match, declared It draw.
