him to the floor for the count after

1T was a terrific blow. timed to q
nicely, and it landed just on the side
of AIealey's jaw and the local boxer
dropped to the mat as if he had been
hit with a sledgehammer. Mealey at
the count of eight made a desperate
effort to get up, but he was unable to
do so. He had partly rised, when le
Hoped down again. his face sliding
along the mat for several inches.
Then he collapsed entirely, and when
his handlers picked him up and tried
to put him on his feet he was COM

that few except those close to the
ringside had a chance to see it, and

dorses the decision by which Jimmie
Wilde. the British fly weight cham
pion, defeated Joe Lynch, an Ameri-
can boxer, on points last night.
While some are content to say that
the bout was very closely contested,
others do not disguise their surprise
and mention sympathetically the
astoniShment with which the decision
was received by large part of the
spectators.
The Mails expert says he scored
the rounds carefully and at the finish
privately decided that Lynch had
won eleven and Wilde four. He
wants to know, he says, upon what
the referees verdict was based. The
Daily Sketch says:
the decision for Wilde got a worse
gruelling than he did on the only
occasion he has been beaten in a
real contest"
This is a reference to the defeat
administered to Wilde by Pal Moore,
of Memphis, Tenn. in the inter-allied
boxing tournament held in London
on December IL and II.
The Sportsmen declares Wilde was
the victor by very narrow margin,
and the Sporting Life suggests that
the ruling was due to the fact that
Lynch held a good deal and was
warned in almost every round, but
this newspaper admits that 1T was
thought Lynch had just about got
there"

YANK-BRITAIN FIGHT

Joe Lynch-Draw, at Best

London, April 1.--"Jimmie" Wilde,
the British flyweight champion. last
night defeated Joe Lynch. an Ameri-
lean boxer, on points in fifteen
round bout.
The Prince of Wales, Prince Albert
and Lord Lonsdale witnessed the con-
test. which took place at the Ma
tional Sporting Club. 1t was fast
and stubborniy fought battle
throughout. Wilde started three
to one favorite. but Lynch was doing
so well in the ninth round that the
betting fell to eveus.
In this and the following rounds
Wilde was badly shaken by heavy
punishment, but fought gamely and
recovered in the fifteenth. The Am
erican finished the fresher of the
two, and though Wilde won on
points, he had q close call.
The verdict seemed somewhat of a
surprise to many present and there
was some adverse comment Wilde
was giving Lynch about sixteen
pounds in weight.
At the close of the fight the Prince
of Wales congratulated both men,
and said that it was by meetings
such as this that Anglo-American
friendship, which they had welcomed
throughout the war, became cement

the nonpartsan election clause of
the Clark act of 1913 will be given

request of representatives of the

is divided in MANY of the cities

feature. Some of them desire it's
retention and are disposed to make
the most of Senator Boies Penrose's
declaration that he thinks the cleo

The advocates OF the change will ask
that the bill be sent back to the

A packed house seems assured as
the news has gone out to all nearby
towns that the big match is to be
staged here tonight and all lovers
of clean sport and a great fight are
coming from miles around to see the
two great wrestlers battle for not
only the American title but for the
honor of a match with Wladez Zbys-
zko, the Pole, who now holds the
worlds title.
The struggle itself promises to be
one of the gruelling nature, of pow
erful holds, of thrilling and ALMOST
superhuman efforts to break the
same, and all in all as sensational an
affair as was ever staged on the mat
in this country.
Ed. (Strangler) Lewis is already
in this city waiting for the big match
to go on. When told of Rollers
statement that he had solved his
noted deadlock hold and would
break clear of it as did Zbyszko,
Lewis issued statement:
My headlcck is as certain to
work tonight against Roller as 1T
ever did. I expect TO win in two
straight falls and to end all of this
talk by the doctor that he will de-
feat me and then win the worlds $
title from Zbyszko, thus bringing 1t
back to America. I lost to ZbysZko o
and admit the defeat, but will show
the world at anytime I am entitled
to another match with the Pole, by
pinning Roller and anyone else they
can produce. once L get another
chance at Zbyszko there will be an
entirely different story. He won't
hold that title long if 7 have any
thing to say about it. You will see
me at my best tonight and every
spectator who watches me working
tonight will go away satisfied that
this American is entitled to another
struggle with Zbyszko for the
worlds title. have no fears that
Roller will gain the American title
tonight. I'll take that with me to
the mat and keep it safe all even
ing"
Lewis is a wonderful developed
man. He stands six feet in height
and weighs 22S pounds. He is in
splendid physical condition and
looks every inch the champion. He
has a most likeable personality and
is an engaging talker. He admits that
at one time Roller had something
on him as a wrestler, but that with
in the past two years he has develop
ed far more than Roller figures on
and will win in straight falls tonight
as result.
Whether Roller can break the
deadlock remains the question just
the same. Lewis was Just as conf
dent of defeating ZbysZko with it
before the Pole smashed him to the
mat in New York week before last.
Roller was on hand and noted how
the Pole broke this damaging hold
of the "Strangler's" and says he can
dunlicate the feat.
Tickets will remain on sale at the
Schenk and little sporting goods
store and at Harry's cigar store until
o'clock and will then be placed on
sale at the auditorium box office.
The auditorium will open at 7.30
and the first preliminary will be put
on at $50 sharp.
