BIG feet MAKE
FIGHTERS CALL
LEWIS A Demon

Ted-they sometimes call him KID
Lewis, the Briton, is one OF the real
cards Of the boxing game. To explain
why he is a card will require consider
able space, but one of the principal
roasts is the fact that this same Lewis
has pair OF feet which beat anything
in the pugHistic line by several mites.
Lewis feet are the talk OF the
town" wherever he fights. In the first
place, he claims that he is light
weight and able to make the pOundage
for scraps in that division, but his fail
ure to do so makes il certainty that
he doesn't belong in that class, but in
the one higher-namely, the welter-
weight division: |@.......
In several OF His recent fights the
Briton has appeared before the tans OF
effete Boston. He met Charley White
OF Chicago. and he also mixed with
Joe Mandot, the southern champion,
who halls from New Orleans. He re-
Gently defeated Willie Richie in New
York. He has also scrapped a number
of other times in New York, but never
to the recollection of the boxing pro-
moters has he made the weight re-
quired. He has agreed to notch 135
pounds for bouts, but when it was
time to step on the scales 1t always
has been discovered that he was any
where from three to eight pounds over
the poundage agreed upon. ..
Forced to Accept Handicap.
When it has been found that they
would have to scrap Lewis at handi
cap his opponents invariably have &C
cepted the handicap rather than see
the chance of letting little coin get
away from them That was the only
thing they could do to prevent the
show blowing up" and with the pro-
moters' bounding these boys to take a
chance they have done SO.
But the answer to this acceptance
of a weight handicap was a defeat
for the boys who met Lewis, for the
Briton. aside from his feet, has lot
of fighting ability. lie knows the
game and, despite his big feet, makes
good like whirlwind. E. ......:
An those VINO nave seen Lewis box,
including the promoters who have
made matches for him, believe that it
is Lewis feet which cause SO much
trouble when it comes time for the
toys to mix wallops. His pedal ex-
tremities, 1t is declared. extend some
ten inches, and in order to get them
out of the way when swinging the
mitts he turns them sideways: Per
haps Charley Whites picture of Lewis
feet is as good as that of any other
boy who has met Lewis.

Here's what White has to say:
