Mike TWIN Sullivan
To GO after Lewis
SO Far as The Records Of the Two
Men Are Concerned There 10
Little to Choose.

Denver. Colo. Feb. 81. 49, Wha
promises to be the classiest bou,
pulled OF In Denver for many a da,
will take place at the Coliseum ath
letic club when Mike Twin Sullivan
Of Cambridge. faces Harry Lewis oi
Philadelphia. With the battle now .
matter OF hours. the betting /.
slightly In favor of the bald pated
longgeared scrapper from Cam
bridge. but 1t Is generally admitted
by Sullivan's most enthusiastic ad
mirers that he will have to put up
the fight of his life to win a victory
over the shifty. nifty lad from Quak.
ertown. Sullivan will weigh In ut
lag pounds at 3 o'clock. and will
have a great advantage in weight, as
well as In height. reach and clever.
ness. Lewis is lightweight and
Is not so clever as the Sullivan twin,
but he has a wailop that, once land.
ed. makes his opponent see the
milky way.
So ar as the records OF the two
men are concerned, there Is little to
chose between them. Sullivan has
defeated Jimmy Gardner In lengthy
bout. in which he clearly demonstrat.
ed his superiority. Lewis turned the
same trick In a six round bout. Both
men have met Rube Smith, the Col.
orado fighter. and by comparison In
these mills. Lewis has decidedly the
best OF it. The Philadelphia boy
won easily from the Rube. whils
Sullivan in two encounters with
Smith was held to draw. but scored
knockout In the third. Sullivan's
moost creditable performance was
his victory over Jimmy Gardner
while the best records of Lewis were
made in his knockout of Willie Fitz-
gerald In less than two rounds, his
knockout of Mike Ward in nine
rounds, his outpointing of Champion
Cans in a six round bout and
draw with Joe Thomas when out
weighed by twenty pounds.
There Is every indication that the
betting on the contest will be by ia:
the heaviest and that more moneI
will change hands on the result
than on any previous encounter ever
held in this city. Many big wagers
have already been made. No betting
will be allowed at the ringside, ac-
cording to an edict issued by Man
ager Patrick Gallagher of the Coils
cum Athletic club.
Lewis Is being backed by Henry
Melenbacker "a wealthy Grand Rap
ids hotel owner, who has been here
for some time to witness the prep
arations for the battle. The moniei
boniface first met Lewis when the
little fighter was in trouble over the
death of Mike Ward in a bout at
Grand Rapids. The young Hebrew
was unable to raise the $4,000
bond for his release until Melen
backer came to the rescue with the
cash demanded. A fast friendship
sprung up between tn"
two and Melenbacker declares he
will not return to Grand Rapids un'
til he has seen the youngster either
win the lightweight championship
or is defeated in trying for it.
There is general impression
among Denver sports that II Lewis
is the winner in his bout with the
Twin, he will be substituted for
Britt in a battle with Joe Cans at
Tonopah next month. Local sports
believe that Lewis Is the logical
candidate. but that a
bad match has been made for him in
meeting Sullivan at the welter limit.

A Genuine sensation was sprung
when Attorney Hartridge. representing
Thaw. was called to the stand by
Jerome to learn why certain letters
written by White to Evelyn would not
be produced. Hartridge declined to
answer. Jerome argued that Hart
ridge was not counsel of Mrs. Thaw
and had no right to withhold informa.
tion. Delmas said Mrs. Thaw had re-
tained counsel because of threats
against her. He had heard that the
district attorney proposed to have her
indicted. Jerome said no such state
ment had been made He did not deny
the intent. jerome wanted the testi-
mony of DR.. Deemar and DR.. Binga-

until later. He said they were about to
leave the state. He said Mrs. Thaw's
cross examination cannot finish in less

under the Stars and Stripes and had
spent their pay, would re-enlist on
a British man-of-war; British crews,
in the same way, would come aboard
American ships, so that the same
men would serve, perhaps, under two
or three different flags two or three
different times. Besides being for
eigners, or negroes, the tars of our
old frigates were generally very rough
characters, because the \pay was so
miserable and the life so hard that
no other sort could be got to enlist.
The wonder is that such mixed and
brilliantly crews were ever licked in
to shape to win the victories that every
boy knows by heart.-[St. Nicholas.

it among themselves.
The purpose sought to be accom-
