Only once during the brief contest did
Lewis appear to Be in Mellody's class
This was in the first round, when the
men fought evenly, Lewis, perhaps, hav.
ing shade the better of the argu.

The bout was held at the Valley Falls
athletic club and was scheduled to 20

pionship When the men weighed in
yesterday afternoon, Lewis was four
pounds above the stipulated weight of
142 pounds, and as result the cham

III the first round the men appeared
to be on pretty even terms, whatever ad-
vantage there was being on Lewis side.
In the second round Melody played
for Lewis kidneys and the New YORK
boxer weakened considerably.
The third round found Lewis in pitt
able condition, and Melody scored three
Lewis taking the count each
time.
When the fourth round began, 1t was
that Lewis could not last much
longer. Melody, who up to this time
had fought cautiously, threw science to
the winds and went for bis opponent in
savage fashion. Finally Lewis was nn-
able to raise his hands and Melody
landed at viii. Lewis seconds then
