Danny Lewis did only light work yes
terday and none this morning in finish
ing up his training for MS bout in Bal
timOre tonight with Harry ScrOggs. be-
fore Al McMuTray's National Athletic
Club on East Baltimore street.
Lewis has done more training for this
bout than he has done for any other
ia a long time He has almost decided
TO go into the fighting game as q regu-
lar thing, whether he wins or loses to-
night. and has prepared himself with
special care, not only To make d good
impression on his friends. but TO test
his strength.
The distance viii tell the story for
Lewis. He has so far relied more up
on his ruggedness than his skill and his
friends claimed that he would have won
instead OF losing his last go with
Scroggs had the route been fifteen
rounds as it will he tonight. instead OF
the eight of their former meeting
Scroggs had Lewis groggy several times
IN that first encounter, but each time
the Washington man came back fresh
as a daisy after his minute OF rest
while what blows ne landed on Harry
were not 50 easily forgotten.
