Banty Lewis has Joined the ranks
of the boys with the TX. o." punch.
After FIVE rounds of sided milling
on Saturday night he gave Jersey
City Johnny" DAILY a wallop on the
point of the jaw and the contest was
over. Lewis outclassed DAILY all the
way. The Jersey City fellow was a
substitute, taking the place of Patsy
White, of Brooklyn, who complained
of a sprained hand. Banty was very
fast and aggressive, and he gave DAILY
a good, hard beating before the end
came. The Johnny Daily defeated by
Lewis Saturday night is not, by the
way. the original Johnny Daily, of
New York. But, it might be added,
Lewis, in a bout in this city about
two years ago. had the better of the
New York DAILY.

The referee said that Jeff Smith,
of Bayonne, defeated Jimmy Clabby
in their twenty-round bout in sgd
ney, Australia, Saturday night.
but the crowd said shame" How
ever. the crowds opinion doesn't
count, so Smith will always be known
as the fellow who gained the decision
on Clabby. Reports from the antip-
odes say that Clabby made favor
able impression, and the experts In
their comments on the bout, praise
him highly. The verdict was consid-
cred so much out of order that some
of the spectators acted riotously. The
police came in on the scene and soon
the disturbers were quelled. But the
referee got a good sound hisslng'
which seemed to satisfy the crowd.

Champion Willie Richie is to fight
Freddie Welsh in London. and his
end of the purse will be in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. What Welsh will
receive is not stated, but he is a
fighter and that means that he is
not going into the battle for his
health. As to the fight, Welsh
doesn't seem to fit in with Ritchie
at all. 1t is true that Freddie gave
Willie a whipping in twenty-round
bout one fine day out on the coast,
but that was when Richie was
mere novice and acted as a substitute
for Ad Wolgast, who was taken ill
with appendicitis. Since then, Willie
has won the championship. Welsh
is a boxer, pure and simple. and he
hasn't a stiff blow in his assortment
He is clever enough, though, to out
point most anybody. providing he is
not roughly treated.
C
Welsh is the champion of England
and as that's where the fight is to be
held, he will not receive any the
worst of the verdict, we take it, from
the referee. Richie, it is believed
by any number of wise judges, is
going back. 1t is pointed out that
Tommy Murphy, though beaten,
gave Willie a hard lacing, and that
Charley White, of Chicago, only re-
Gently positively outpointed the
champion. These two fighters show
that Richie is not a hard fellow to
get to, and perhaps Welsh has 1t all
figured out how he can beat the
Yankee boy. However, as Richie
will be s35 900 richer after the battle,
he can afford to take a couple of
black eyes and an adverse decision.
C
Too much stock should not be taken
in the reports of the White-Ritchie
contest. The first accounts made it
appear as if Willie was fairly slaugh-
tered. Later and saner opinions
though. contained the information
that Richie suffered most from
being butted between the eyes by
White in the second round, after he
had landed terrific right to the jaw
in the first round. This blow in the
opening session staggered the cham.

round nearly closed his two eyes. De-
