LEWIS MAY HOOK
UP WITH SAILOR BURKE

NEW YORK, January 3.-Sailor Burke
will probably be Willie Lewis next oppo-
nent in the ring. For several months
there has been great rivalry between
Lewis and Burke, but every time that a
match was spoken Of something hap
pened to interrupt the proceedings. Now
that Lewis is again lin tiptop condition he
declares his willingness to meet the
Sailor, and match between them seems
inevitable.
Burke has repeatedly declared that he is
Lewis master at the boxing game, but
Willie has replied it will take more than
Burke's word to convince him that the
Sailor knows whereof he speaks.
A fight between these two middle
weights would be a great attraction, for
they are very evenly matched. Both are
clever and each has a knockout punch in
either hand. They are experienc I'd in the
ways of the ring, are of about the same
size and weight Lewis would lie moth
ing better than to add Burkcs name TO
his list of knookouts. and 1t is a matter of
record that the Sailor is laundering to get
the name of Lewis o? hi5 record with
either a wv, or the mystic letters IA.

Several of the local clubs are hot after
the match Manager Buckley of the Shar-
key A G. has expressed a willingness to
accommodate the young men with Il bat
tie ground and it is reported that Mike
Newman of the Long Acre and the man
ayers of several clubs would not refuse to
stage the bout were the principals to
agree to settle the question of supremacy
between them.
Just at present there is a great deal of
doubt as to which is the better fighter.

first forty games it was thought he would
smash the worlds record for forty-tive

chances to the winds.

the roller in good spirits and caused a
general laugh.

HARD TO PICK CREW
FOR OLYMPIC REGATTA

PHILADELPHIA. January 3.-Within
few weeks the machinery of the National
Association of Amateur Oarsmen will be-
gin to work oR~the problem of selecting
an eight-oared shell crew to represent
this country in the Olympic regatta in
London next July.
That the entire affair will revo!ve about
this city ard New York IS certain. The
impossibiiity of selecting crew that will
clearly represent the entire country is ap-
parent Prominent rowing men here ad-
nit that the-scheme is not feasible. Har-
ry Penn Burke, Philadelphias delegate to
the national board, and Jim Dempsey. the
famous coach, who was commissioned by
James Pilkington. president of the N A.
A. o. to select the best local oarsmen
for such d crew. agree on this.
1t will be necessary to get the men,
bers of an American eight together at
least month before the race. Even this
will be a short time fully six weeks or
two months being really necessary. 1t
will require fully this time for men unac-
customed to rowing Stos ether to pull in
harmony.
Philadelphia and New York contain
fully enough good oarsmen to supply
such crew. Boston. Baltimore. Wash
ington and even Detroit have a number
of good men who would like places. The
problem will be to get them together. 1t
to some central ooirt in the east and
keep them for a long period before the

Burke suggests the eXpedient of using

to be solution of the problem. Princeton
is a halfway point between New York and
this city: BY rowing on the new lake
New York and Phi adelohia oarsmen can
reach the spot in less tina. two hours,
averting the necessity of sacrificing bust
ness.
None of these matters will be definitely
