LEWIS And MELODY
Lads Meet Tonight for the
Welter-weight Title.
NEW YORKER IN PRIME SHAPE
On Account of His Victory in other
Go Melody VIII BE the FHvOrite,
Though Lewis Is a Rugged Fighter,
Who May Spring Some Surprises.
Scheduled 10 Go Fifteen Rounds.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Sporting men are
greatly interested in the ifteen-round mill
of the middle-weight championship, be-
tween Honey Melody. Of Boston. and
Willie Lewis. of this city. which will be
decided at Valley Stream. r. /. to-mor-
row night.
Lewis. who has been trained by Harry
Tuthin for this match, Is extremely con-
fdent. and so are his friends. He met
Melody sometime ago in what was "a
quick and decisive battle. Melody scored
a knockout in the second round with a
sudden blow on the jaw, at time when
Lewis appeared 10 be having much the
better of the argument Lewis and his
followers promptly set up a cry of lucky
punch" and have been clamoring for an
other battle ever since. Lewis is prac-
ticaly in the middle-weight class IN
order to take Melody on, however, nc
agreed to weigh 142 pounds, the welter-
weight limit, and in about three weeks
of training he has taken of at least
twenty pounds. Whether this loss Of
flesh in so short a time has impaired his
strength or not, remains to be seen; but
J
believe that Lewis has been compelled to
weaken himself to some extent in order
10 make the required weight.
Lewis is a rugged fighter, possessing
considerable Cleverness and an ability 10
take much punishment He has been
boxing before the public in this city and
vicinity for some time, but he has never
been regarded as a real tOp-nOtCher
Melody, having knocked Lewis out once
must be regarded as having an advantage
when he enters the ring, known TO fight
fans as the Indian sign
MeIIOdy's Big Improvement.
Tt has seldom failed that q pugilist who
suffers a knockout at the hands Of an
other is never able To regain his lost lau-
rcls in another encounter with the same
pUgilist. Melody is a fighter who has
shown wonderful Improvement In the last
few months lie leaped into prominence
when he beat Joe Walcott. of Boston, i'm a
limited round bout last year, thereby win
ming the welteT-weight title. WalcOtt il
must be remembered. shot his bolt some
time ago before he lost one of his fingers
in gun accident. II Walcott had been
the Walcott who knocked out Joe Choy-
inski, Dan Creedon. and other men bigger
and heavier than himself nearly ten
years ago, MELODY would probably have
been summaTily disposed of. But the
fact remains that Melody beat Walcott
all the way, and is to-day highly regard
ed. Prior TO the Walcott mill, Melody
was knocked out i'm eleven rounds 10y Joe
Thomas. a middle-weight. but that affair
was at catch weights, and Melody had
much the worst Of the deal Thomas Te-
fuses nowadays to meet Melody at the

when ne meets Lewis Monday night. will
be recognized as the champion of Amer
lea at 10 pounds.
