LEWIS TEAM
TO PLAY MARINES
NEW YEARS GAME
TED LEwIs---PooREsT OF CHAMPIONS
Welterweght Title Should Go to More Worthy Boxer

Ted Lewis, poorest OF cham
pions, has gone a step further to-
ward making himself more IN
popular than ever, II unpopularity
In his case can be enhanced.
Popularity Of a boxing champ
Is contingent upon a number Of
cond.tions-his willingness to
fight challengers, his ability to
defend his title in championship
form and his fair dealing by spec
tators being the most important.
Lewis has failed In all Of these.
Since he won his rather cloud
ed title by referees decision in
a 20-rOund bout at Dayton, Ohio,
Lewis has failed to meet his most
insistent challengers, he has hid
den himself on the Pacific coast
and recently capped the climax by
running out of a match at San
Diego.
Let's see what claims Lewis has
to the title.
The last welterweight cham
pion OF note was Joe Wolcott, who
lost the title to Honey Melody in
1906. Dixie Kid had claimed the
title in 1904 by virtue OF a foul
verdict in his favor, but his claims
were not generally recognized.
In 1907 Mike (Twin) Sullivan
defeated Honey Melody and hell
the title until 1910 when he went
into the middleweight class and
1t was claimed by Jimmy Clabby,
who defended it until he went
into the middleweight division in
1911, whereupon the title was
claimed by Ray Bronson, who
posted forfeit to fight for the
championship in 1913.
From that time on the whole
welterweight division was in a
tumble. Bronson lost to Matt
Wells and Holberg in Australia.
Wells, Spike Kelly, Kid Graves,
Mike Glover and number OF
others then claimed the title, but
none was ever recognized as
champion.
Then Jack Britton, who had
outgrown the lightweight class,
claimed the title and defended It
a number of times in 1917, meet
ing Lewis five or six times.
It's question whether Britton
was ever champion. There was
no elimination and there were a
number of good weherweights
contesting his claims night along.
Regardless OF this, however, there
was no concerted opposition to
Britton's claims because of his
popularity. Then Lewis beat Brit
ton and now merits the title,
poorest of champions.
