Wildcat Ferns Batters Bill Walters
Has One -KnockdoWn.

Ferns defeated Sailor Bill Walters in
slashing ten-round go in Kenosha
last night. The finish left no question
of Ferns superiority at the short dis
lance
Ferns put everything he had into
the ten rounds. Every frame he start
ed with a rush and Walters was be-
wildered by the ferocious swings
turned loose against him. Trouble
for Bill began in the first round when
Ferns upset him with straight left
to the Jaw Another damaging smash
in the fourth cut Walters lip, and
third in the eighth opened cut over
his eye. All of these clouts were de-
ivered with Ferns left.
At the end of the mill Walters was
not in great distress and might have
rallied in a longer fight. But the ten
round trail is just suited to Ferns
style of scrapping.
Walters showed plenty of game
ness, but failed to land many blows.
When he did reach Ferns there was
little steam behind the punches and
Ferns vicious rushes were not halted.
Mike Gibbons or Spike Kelly will
be matched with Ferns for the clubs
next show Last nights attendance
was disappointing. Two hundred
fans travelled from Chicago.
Cleveland and Pittsburgh have
completed negotiations for a post

start the battles Oct. 8.

The entrance into the Senate of Col

tofore lacked. Lewis has received

The editor took him at his word, de-
scribing him as a hand-me-down dude.
and quoted him precisely The town
laughed at the skit, while Lewis ex-
pressed his delight at the kindness OF
the editorial caricature. No one took
him seriously. He had only a single
client in months, and this one he
sought, as he did many months after
ward. The offender had stolen a box
of cigars. Lewis defended him on the
pretex that he took the cigars for
safe keeping. and with their restitution
secured an acquittal. For his services
the future Congressman received 80
cents, half OF the capital of the ac-
cused. Unable to make living at
law practice, he accepted a position
as checking clerk on the docks. At
this work he labored a month and
half. The long-shoreman began by

as to many partners he has had. He
has an amazing fund of misinforma-

In the days of his activity at the bar
he was regarded without a peer At

Tended 80 murderers and lost only one
verdict in the first degree. In this
case he secured a reversal and finally
acquitted the accused. In late years
his legal activity has been largely as
