ANOTHER SCALP
FOR WILLIE.LEWIS

PARIS, February 1.-Willie Lewis, the
American pugtlist, added another scalp
to his belt Saturday night by knocking
out Charlie Hickman in the first round
of their fight. Lewis put his rival down
for the count with a good old fashioned
right to the jaw. The blow caught Hick-
man flush and he toppled to the floor Of
the ring as if struck by the good leg Of a
healthy mule.
Lewis apparently had Hickman scared
before the opening Of the fight and Hick-
man did his best to keep out Of the
Americans way after the men had shaken
hands. But he might as well have tried
to escape a vengeful cyclone, for Lewis
tore after him and battered away with
both hands.
Hickman was feeling groggy after he
had received the full force Of several of
Willies heavy right and left swings. and
before the bell ended the round the Amer
lean put on the finishing touches with his
right hand punch.
Among the Americans present were Kid
Mccoy, Tod Sloan, Frank Erne and doc"
PheIan. The last named rowed In the old
Dauntless crew on the Harlem river, New
York, and is the favorite referee for all
the big contests in France. In fact he
WAS the first to of1iciate after the amend
ment to the old rules permitting referee
to be in the ring with the principals
Erne.. who Is instructor at one of the
big social clubs, expressed some fear that
the indiscriminate manner In which
matches are made will result in the pres
ent enthusiasm in France for good mill
ing degenerating into a craze out OF which
hippodroming will result He points out
that there is no method to the matchmak-
ing and that old ringsters are imported
from England and pitted against young
French boys, with the result that the lat
ter are almost always defeated because
of their lack Of experience.

veteran local boxer, Billy Whistler, will
undergo a severe test tonight, when he
meets Tommy Lowe of Washington in
the star bout of fifteen rounds before the
mental skating rink. Whistler, however.
will be in better shape than he has been
for a long time. During the past week
Whistler trained every day with Oscar
Martin and he has gotten himself into
excellent form for the bout, which will
likely he a clever one from start to finish.
Though Whistler is hard to be surpassed
in cleverness, he will face a boxer Of his
same style in Lowe, who Is conceded to
be one of the cleverest lightweights in
the east.
Lowe will come to town at noon today
primed up for the contest. He will be
accompanied by his manager. Jerry Nc
Carthy. and band of sports from the
capital. Judging by the form that Lowe
displayed in his recent contest here with
Dummy Decker, Whistler will be forced
to set fast pace to beat him. Whistler
wound up his training yesterday, and he
and his friends are confident Of winning
the decision, Notwithstanding the record

ward, but it is expected that the Crimson
manager will send a confirmation of his
entries within a day or so. With Cornell
and Penn matched in a two-mile relay
the local management is endeavoring to
get another big team event on between
Yale and Princeton. He has already
started negotiations between the two in
StitutionS on this matter and from the
present outlook it is more than likely that
the Tigers and Bulldogs will be matched
in a. mile event.
There will be no Army-N Navy race This
was settled during the middle of the week.
Both Of Uncle Sans training schools
would like to see the contest cone off,
but they find it would be impossible on
account of the early date. Neither school
trains for indoor work and hence such a
battle could hardly be fixed for anything
but an outdoor meet. Manager Corcoran
was very much disappointed when he
found his plan impracticable, as he was
figuring on giving the local admirers. of
the middies and cadets the treat of their
lives.
1t has been definitely settled that Mike
Thompson, the noted foot bau official,
will be referee In the coming games. As
Mr.. Thompson has had great experience
in this line Of work the management is
to be congratulated on securing his
services. At present he is engaged in di-
recting athletics at Washington College
Of Chestertown, Md. He is going to bring
his squad of track and field men down to
the Blue and Gray games and expects to
have some one in every event Despite
