KID LEWIS BECOMES
 GOOD LIGHT WEIGHT


 Kid Lewis, who was feath erw eight champion of England less than a. year ago, and who went to Australia, under the contract of Snowy Baker, has de- veloped into a high class lightweight in England. Lewis proved himself to be a very good boy in the feather weight class and won the title, but 1t was hardly thought that he could jump right into the lightwetght divis- ion and defeat the stars. It was not a. case of taking on weight in Aus tralia, as many of the boys have done in the past. but simply a case of na- turaI development. Lewis was sent against one of the hardest propositions in Australia when he landed there Herbert McCoy+who is considered the equal of any lightweight in the Anti podes. Tn tfisN battle Lewis proved himself the better fighter by out pointing the clever Mccoy all the way. He followed this by defeating Hughie M Mehegan, the Australian champion, over the wenty round route. And now there is talk of matching him against eight Young Shugrues the sensational New York lightweight or Mtlburn Sayior, the Indianapolis boy who has made good during his stay here. From all accounts Lewis must be of the hi ghest class and the chances are he will be heard from in his division when he gets back to England.
