N ow WYE GET 1t straight from a W reliable source close to Lewis that Ted Is about to part with Char ley Harvey. The Kid figures that Charley has not treated him fairly. He doesn't want a return match with Brittcu and there is some talk to the effect that he and Jimmy Johnston may make up. But If Jimmy keeps R1is word he will never take him back.
 That Britton got his chance to square matters with Lewis was made possible only through the cunning. shrewdness and cleverness of his manager, Danny Morgan. IL was Dan ny who really made the match.
 Several weeks ago Danny was in Canton, O., with one of his less known pugs. After the boat he asked the matchmaker to seek Ted Kid Lewis for Britton. The promoter said he would willingly stage the match, but was umid about going 10 either Lewis or his manager with per centage proposition.
 Why, you're crazy" said Dan to the matchmaker. That big soof will be as happy as lark to make g, little money. I'll bet you a good Stetson hat, FH grab that match, if you your self don't care 10 talk to Charley Hervey."
 If you can get Lewis to box I'll stage the match here,' said the matchmaker.
 It's a bet" replied Dan Q.
 And then the two mixed 1t to a Cam ton hotel where Dan asked the pro- rnoter to put his proposition in writ Ar
 You just sign papers that you will give GO per cent. of the house for the match and I'll make Ted Kid come through or I'll tell the world that he ts afraid of Britton," wisely suggest ed Daniel.
 No sooner said then done. So that night when Morgan left Canton for New York he had in his possession signed articles for Britton-Lewia fight In New York Dan met Char ley Harvey and offered him the match. Charley was skeptical and got in communication with tho matchmqker and when he learned for himself that 1t was no joke, he was placed in a position where he had to sdther admit Lewia' lnferlor1ty or take the match.
 Lewis, who always did love his dol- lar note, left everything to his man aEer and when the latter accepted. he went through with the match. Now both Charley Harvey and Tod Kid Lewis are ravina.
 And Daniel Morgan is choking with laughter. while Jack Britton is al- ready looking around for a book keeper to keep tubs on his future in come.

 Connecticut fans in general are hoping that Porto will have recover ed sufficiently by tomorrow when the New Haven bowling team leaves for Toledo O., where it will take r-gt in the big bowling congress there.
 Reports from New York to the ef- feet that Leo Lucke and Jummy Smith would hook up in a worlds championship next Monday may have been premature. It now develops that Smith will not bowl unless assured of a side bet of $1,O00 and that he re- ceive so per cent. Of the receipts both in New York and Milwaukee. Bill Cordes. manager of Lucke, declared yesterday in New York that no trou- ble would be experienced in covering Smiths money, but he is opposed to granting the champion so large a per centage.
 Gus Cook, who has been showing the way in the Eastern individual championships at Toledo, was de- throned the other night as the result of his defeat at the hands of John Stofza.

 Rooms-SOccer News.

The meeting of the Bridgeport Public School Soccer League which is to be held tonight in the rooms of the Board Of Education at the First Bridgeport National bank build ing at the corner of Main and State streets promises to be a very import ant one as the draw for the first round of the Es1iug Shield Competi- ton will take place.

 Supt. P V. Gahan of the Board of Recreation Is also taking a great in terest in the competition and is " orking hard for the success of the movement, but he Is working in con- Junction with the writer to make the affair a great success. The whole of the schools are ready for the fray and the captains and managers of the Barnum school team has decided to place two teams in the field just the same as the Lincoln school did last season.
