ley in their much-discussed ten-round
bout at the Olympic A. C. last night.
Lewis was the victor after very in
teresting contest. He did all of the
aggressive work, nearly all the lead
ing, and most of the landing. His
blows we're not particularly effective,
but they we're so numerous that his
advantage at the end was complete.
There are those who will argue for
Donley, but he was fairly outpointed
and lost beyond the question OF a
doubt. In the first five rounds as a
whole Donley was in the lead, but the
last five rounds he never had the
ghost of show. Lewis fought like
a whirlwind-fought as he never did
before. He was after Donley In every
round and in every moment of every
round from the fifth session on, and
he never gave Mickey even a small
chance to fight. Donley is more
picturesque looking boxer than Lewis
and he is better boxer than Lewis,
but Banty knows more in minute
about how to fight for decisions than
Mickey will probably ever know. Dom
ley is clever and he poses beautifully
and the fans around the ringside early
in the bout remarked how cool he was.
He was cool, no doubt, but that didn't
get him anything. He would have been
much better off II he had become hot
and did a little more fighting. No
one could say that Lewis was COOL
He wasn't. He was all excitement,
all nerves, and he went into the fray
like wildcat. He led and he landed,
and he led again and he missed, but
he never stopped fighting. That's
what won for him--won for him be-
yond the question of doubt.

In the early rounds there was much
cheering for Donley, and II did look
for time as IL he was going to out
| point Lewis. Charley Weinert, who
is very sweet on Mickey, praised the
young man for his GOODNESS and for
his cleverness. Then came the sixth
round. with Lewis showing the way
with c'oar advantage There wasn't
peep out of Weinert. and there was
a quietness among the Donley follow
ers. From that round on weinert
was as tight as clam, and he ceased
TO extol the pugilistic virtues of
Mickey. Lowis's aggressive tactics
stood Donley on his head At first
he smiled as Banty rushed in, landing
blows to the face and to the body
Later on the expression on his coun-
tenance told the story OF his feelings.
He was unable to stop his rushing
opponent and he was unable to do
any fighting himself. He realized 1t
more and more as the rounds wore
on, but he didn't have anything in his
system to offset the vicious, though
not particularly Furnishing, attacks
O.
Lewis gave Donley q pretty good
whipping. and he slowed him UP
noticeably III the closing rounds.
Banty fought for the kidneys with
his right hand and he also OCCASION
ally used his left hand. But II was
those right-hand wallops to the kid
neys that counted--that did the work.
They enabled Lewis to follow up his
Doniey all over the ring Now and
then, whenever Banty would rest up
for a moment and attempt to box with
Dor1iey, Mickey would land a left jab
and sometimes a straight right to the
side of the head, but for every blow
that Donley sent home. Lewis came
/ back. with a dozen, He rushed in
! madiy and belted Mickey around the
kidneys and In nearly every exchange
he bested his man. He forced him up
against the ropes and into one corner
after another without even once be-
ing repealed. For the full ten rounds
Lewis was the aggressive, although in
the first Ave rounds Donley, perhaps
had a shade. This shade he gained
on the clean blows he landed. while
Lewis was erratic and missed lot

were stopped by Lewis's guard, and
