MOTHER of Danny McKetrlck's

A MOTHER OF Danny Mcketricks
"A Partisan beauties had an in
glorious end at the National
Sporting Clubs show in New York
when Willie Lewis almost took the
count in the last round of his ten
round bout with the Dixie Kid.
1t is only a short time ago that Joe
Jeanette, the top-llner of McKetrick's
Partisan show was beaten to a pulp
by Sam Langford in Boston. Jeanette
was at last nights show with a shin
plaster over his eye as big as the plate
on a battleship, mute evidence of the
terrible execution done by the Boston
tar baby"
1t was amply proved last night that
Lewis, while clever. is not even in the
near championship class. AS a mat
ter of fact, Lewis always has been
greatly o%verrated. He has a big local
following about Fourteenth street, New
York. who always go to see him fight.
And there Is no better press agent in
the country han Lewis's manager, Nc
Ketrick. Hence the painful impression
held by many that Lewis Is greater
than he really is. 1t is recent history
how Stanley Ketchel put Lewis away
before their fight was fairly started.
Everybody said that Lewis was crazy
to take on the Michigan Assassin"
AS for last nights fight, Lewis gave
a fine exhibition OF oleverness for nine
rounds, keeping away from the hay
makers of the Dixie Kid. But in the
tenth the negro got to him with a
choppy right and dropped him. Lewis
just managed to stay the round 1t
was the negro's fight by a wide mar

bill was one of the best yet offered
by the National Sporting Club.
