There La an exciting aftermath to
the Banty Lewis-Miclsey Donley fight.
The Donley~ crowd, understand. IL
; very much peeved because,~to my way
OF thinking, Lewis earned the de-
cision. I am Just as much surprised
! that anyone should think that Donley
won. All am going by is what
| observed. For instance, for round
after round I saw Lewis force Donley
up against the ropes. fighting all the
time. and then rush him from one side
Of the ring to the other. This was not
the case in one round. or two rounds
but there wasn't a round In which
Lewis didn't force Donley to back UP,
and at times he drove him up against
the ropes. Banty was the aggressor
nom first to last. Not even for a
moment did Donley do any forcing.
He fought on Lewis's leads, and ha
fought only when Lewis fought. Il
Lewis had pursued similar tactics
there wouldn't have been any battle
at all, As saw the fight. Lewis won
won beyond the question of doubt.
These who think 9th wise are en-
titled to their opinion, but am per-
tectly satisfied with my verdict on the
contest
! Those who bet on the fight left 1t
to the three local papers, and as two
OF them gave 1t to Donley his back
ers will collect their wagers. Patsy
Kline Is q pretty good winner as
result of the bout, and am holding
$414 In bets which he won. When
Patsy calls for his money he will
find Il waiting for him, Just as
ne put It up. Some Of the

the report that had turned over the
money to Charlie Gutterman, who
bet on Lewis with Kline, and
