gave the Kid a severe leathering and
for the next four rounds he hit Boon
ton so hard and so often that the
wonder was how he took it all and
stood there ready for more. In the
seventh round the Kid did pretty well
and just about held his own. 1t was
a stiff round and he gave his friends
an opportunity to shout for the first
time He seemed to fathom Lewis S
defense and he landed several telling
rights to Banty's face and head. Once
he. drove his right with great force
to Lewis's mouth, but Banty only
shook his head and with all the
punches he received in that round. he
didn't show a mark at the finish.

Boonton clearly earned the eighth
round. He showed to advantage
| from bell to bell. Lewis couldn't
seem TO get going, and the Kid, des-
perate, fought like fury at the least
sign of an advantage in his favor,
Lewis's blows, too, seemed to lack
steam in this round. and Boonton
showed up strong and very agrees
sive. He sent a half dozen rights
to Banty's body and a few lefts and
rights to his face that made him
| look quite the thing, but just before
, the bell Lewis came to, and slugged

the fight out OF him.

The ninth round saw Lewis in the
lead again. Banty fought the Kid SO
hard and so fast that he held on
time and again to save himself He
rad done Il lot of clinching through
out the fight, but this time he was
surely tired. Lewis, however, had no
mercy for him, and he gave the Kid
"A hard trouncing, Boonton went to
his corner very tired, bu the came
out for the tenth and final round in
pretty fair shape. Lewis, with the
decision his beyond doubt, played
the fox in the tenth round and did
only what was absolutely necessary.
He Just boxed, but he bested Boon
ton, although there was little TO the
round. If Lewis was satisfied with
the decision during the tenth round,
it looked as If Boonton was delighted
to be able to las 1.-THE limit. A lot of
money was bet on the fight, it seems.
but most of 1t hinged on a knockout.
Some bets We're made ION decision,
and Lewis's hackers will cash there.
