Orpheun1 Theater Tonight
Stages Boxing ShOw

Leo Houck in his match tonight
with Larry Williams, of Bridgeport,
Conn.,, Will be the center of atten-
uon at the Frank Erne boxing show,
the first stage in this building in Il
number of years. Williams. with ms
manager, Sam Driver. arrived this
morning from Yankeeland and Will
liams certainly looked in shape to
tackle the Lancaster veteran, who
was outpointed March 25 at st. Lou
is. by Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul
phantom. The Lancaster New Era
carries u story from the ringside
giving some details of the Houck-
Gibbons battle. to wit:
Referee Hesner separated the
boys often during the eight rounds,
and the spectators did not take kind
ly to HouCk's style of milling.
1t was Gibbons fight all the way
through in the opinion of sportinG
writer's.
For the first time in the history
of boxing in st. Louis there was a
liberal sprinkling of women through
out the audience.
Women by the score flocked to the
ringside due to an announcement
that suffragette leaders of national
fame woud witness the bout and
voice their approval of boxing in
speeches afterward. However, not a
single suffragette leader appeared in
the ring when called upon to speak
and if they were in the audience they
remained as spectators. Approx
mately 5000 persons witnessed the
| bouts.
The Houck- Gibbons match was
staged in the coliseum jefferson and
Washington avenues, which has a
| seating capacity of from 200 tC
10000. 1t was a no-decision affair.
This is the second time Houck and
Gibbons have met. On May %, 1915,
Leo was outpointed by the Wis
consin wizard, who is a fistic marvel
in the art of selfdefense, and out
classes almost any opponent at pres
ent in the ring in that respect. In
that meeting, barring a damaged
eye, an old cut having been opened
Houck bore no traces of the encoun-
ter.
AS the local boys best work is
done at close range against u clever
fellow, it is easily understood why
the Missouri fans did not approve OF
the style. 1t is acknowledged that
Gibbons can box rings around any
one in his division and Houck is not
as fast as he was when he gained
international fame by out-boXing
even clever Harry Lewis in Paris.
Gibbons knows the strength OF
Houck's wallops also. and he does

Gentlemen Meet When Lewis
and DIR. Roller Grapple

Probably one of the quickest pro-
motions on record in the army has
been that of Ed. Lewis, just dis
charged, a top sergeant at Camp
Grant. Lewis gained the promo
ton, thanks to display of courage
the first day he entered camp.
The famous wrestler was lined up
with hundreds of other men, bag
gage in hand, when two husky uni
formed men looking the line over
started making fun of the odd-look-
ing recruits. Giving Lewis the once

said, "He sure looks like Fatty Ar

upside down and bounced him to the
ground. leaving him there, while he
took a deadlock on the other ana
threw him ten feet over the ground,
and then asked the onlookers if they
wanted a sample of his work. Get

the ranks.
While the two privates were pull
ing themselves together the officer
in charge stepped up to the gather
ing and lauded Lewis for his action.
saying that the spirit he showed
was the kind the army was looking
for and he hoped the rest of the
lineup were gifted with the same
brand of courage. In forty eight
hours Lewis was made corporal
and in two weeks promoted to SER
geant and later to top sergeant.
When Lewis was discharged the
word Excellent" was marked on
his paper. The day he was dis
charged he said to a well-known
sporting writer in Chicago: 1T was
wonderful experience and I
wouldn't sell my army service for
a fortune"
When Lewis was appearing in the
New York tournament the New
York Globe printed the following
written by Alfred W. Mccain:
Lewis is a wonderful type, agile,
alive, powerful with a beautiful
body, and wonderful legs. He, too.

without taking any credit from
Glpbons, Houck'S local friends will
await with interest his return and
ms own version of the battle. When
Greb defeated him in Boston, Leo
promptly acknowledged the result
and made no excuses, and that has
been his course throughout his en-
tire career
From the press accounts it is
/ likely that no damage was done. and,
as liouck stated before leaving that
he would return as soon as possible
after the match. he will be back in

lieve that this splendid creature will
deliberately forego such honor,
Lewis is a man, not a beast.
The crowd likes Lewis for the
reason that it instinctively recog-
nlzes IN him combination of those
traits of which its popular heroes
are made. 1t knows that Lewis
is game. sportsmanlike. fair, aggres-
sive' and under perfect control. So
1t pays its tribute to him nightly by
demonstrations of applause which
are Enthusiastically spontaneous and
well deserved"
That's pretty high tribute from
writer of the standing and promi-
nence of Alfred W. M'Cann.
Another New York critic wrote of
Lewis thus:
Ed. Lewis talks like a GENTLE
man, and nothing so helps a man TO
talk like a gentleman as the mere
fact that he is a gentleman. Never
during his career on the mat has
there been any hint OF a frame
up in any contest which Lewis has
been connected with and never has
he been anything but the gentle
man and fair sportsman that he al
ways is, whether he is trying to pin
an opponents shoulders to the mat
or attempting to push through a
new deal for the acquisition of an
other block of real estate.
The success of Lewis can be at
tributed to the fact that he possesses
brains of a high order, wonderful
strength and speed and agility not
possessed by very many smaller
men.
Lewis has a wonderful system of
wrestling. 1t took a lot of patient
toll and study and not a little in
tuitiveness to get his deadlock
where it is. But it's there, perfect
ed as no one else has been able to
perfect it."
