Us much surprise. because after all the
heraIding Lewis has had the spectators
present were urging Melody on In the hope
that he would last long enough to make
their presence at the bout worth while.
Lewis went down with a thud soon after
the third round began and 1t was hard To
realize for a moment what had happened.
But Melody's Supporters let every one know
soon enough with whoops and yells for their
favorite.
Both fighters entered the ring In good
condition and Lewis looked strong enough
to make short work of his opponent. Since

Garden, which many thought he had the
better of. the New Yorker has been ciassed
