Lewis Is the Welterweight Champion
-:I:- AZ III AZ -:II:-
Defeat Of Richie Clinches the Title
BY RENGsTBE.

EW YORK, Jan s.-We reiterate
N the claim, made several weeks
ago, that kid" Lewis is the
greatest welterweight extant And as
such he should be universally recog-
nized as the champion OF that division
Lewis started his championship cam
paign some ten days ago, when he
took the best Welterweight in America,
Willie Richie, lambasted out Of him
every titular aspiration the latter ever
entertained Richie went into the ring
1874 pounds above the welterWeight

came in scaling 139 81 Only a dis

Richie could not turn this advantage

championship Of England and then hit
the trail for Australia There he added
weight rapidly and became feather

land, and challenged Welsh TO brush
for the lightweight title of the Isles;
but Freddie graciously retreated and
came to America. Lewis followed the
POntypridd boxer across the big drink.
But Welsh, Just as persistent in dods-

with Lewis, so far as the ring was
concerned.

The WilIard-FuItOn Affair.
The Cream City Athletic club, of Mil

ton and Willard for February p and
there is no doubt but that it would
have drawn 1900 or $4,000 house.
However, Fulton and his manager held
out for 20 round match with Willard,
claiming that it might be their only
chance for the title and they would
rother forfeit what money they might
get in Milwaukee in order to get 4
chance at the championship.
There are many followers of boxing
who have doubted the ability of Fulton.
while others think he has a splendid
chance Of beating Willard. Curley I'LL
rich, the former nghtw eight and now
referee at st. Paul. sent me a line the
other day in which he gives Fulton
quite a boost. In his letter Ullrich
said:

ton Willard match, although ! would
much have preferred to see Fred go
over tie 20 round route I think Full
ton is the fastest big man living today
and after seeing him defeat Anderson,
and later watching Anderson knock

help but think that Fulton is in line

outWelghed his tow-headed rival many
pounds but Lewis showed possibilities
and he was promptly placed under the
protecting wing OF Jimmy Johnston,
who IS managing his affairs.
The climate Of these United States
evidently agreed with Lewis, for he
bounded right into the lightweight d.
vision. where he beat some Of the best
performers. Even Charley White the
Chicago whirlwind, succumbed to
Lewis's cleverness-
Is Now a WeIter.
As there were no more lightweights
to conquer, Lewis begged his manager
to resurrect the welterweight division,
and proclaim him the champion. This
Johnston unhesitatingly did, after
Lewis had promised to defend the self
imposed title against all corners.
Willie Richie was the first legiti-
mate weller TO fall victim Lewis has
gone so far as to box middleweights,
with unfaillng success; but now that
he has a regular vocation-bossing the
WelterWe ights-it IS unlikely that ne
will step out Of that pasture unless
forced to do so by added weight. He
still has three pounds to go 10 hit the
welterweight mark And he is at his
best under the 140 pounds.
Mcfarland is CIaimant.
Patrick Mcfarland desires to know
why he, Of all persons, should be left
out of the welterweight consideration.
OF course Packey is trying to prove
his right to the 142 pound champion
ship; but he neglects TO state that the
can never make that poundage. Yet
he would be champion, although he
has long outgrown the welterweight
division
For years Packey went along beat
ing up lghtWeights when. he was a
himself. Now, when he
is a full-fledged middleweight, he
wants to lick all the little welter-
weights
BY the way. Packey is becoming a
regular >prompter of sports He has
interested himself in the promotion OF
a six-day bicycle race in Chicago: and
now he is thinking of hiring a base
ball park to stage fights and other
sporting events during the summer.
Packey just can't keep out of the SPORT
