Lewis, Defeated, But Has
 Good Chance For Title
Porto Takes Six Games, But Scene Shifts To Park
 City Next Week.

Although Connie Lewis, Bridge ports leading star, dropped six of the II games rolled in the individual State Bowling championship series of q strings to Joe Porto of New Ha- ven at the Academy alleys i'll the Elm City last night, Bridgeport fans to- day figured that the local bowler's chance of annexirN the title is un- usually bright. ThS point out that by taking five games from Porto, Connie has placed himself in a, posi- ton where everything should be night when ten more games of the series will be rolled at Lewis Park City alleys.
 Connie knows the Park City alleys as we'll as he knows himself. There isn't a. man in this State who can tell Connie anything about his alleys and there isn't a man who can defeat him rolling on them. For this reason his friends believe that with the score at to 5 and although Lewis is on the short end, he should win easy. Porto S followers today admitted that, all though Joe won, he did not do as we'll as they had expected him to do. They had figured that he would take at
  porter.
 Bridgeport was we'll represented at the games last night and it was un- 1 officially estimated that no little money changed hands as the result ! of the game. Lewis supporters were strongly behinri him. One Bridge porter placed s100 that the local man s total pinfall would exceed that of the New HaveEer. The Elm City boys thought this was soft dough and they rushed for it, but to their misfortune for Lewis total was 116S against Por- to's 1147.
 ! Porto made his best single score in | the fifth game when he knocked down 124 pins against Comics 99 The best score, however, was regis tered by the Bridgeporter in the tentt game when he registered 14S points. 1 Following are the scores:
 ] Lewis---107. 92. 11s, 90. 99, 9S, 119 1o6, 95, 14s, 96. Total, 116S.

LEWIS CHANGES FOR STATE TITLE ARE SEEMINGLY BRIGHT
|SreR1ee!A!S 9 BY ROGER TERRI

NT LILLE MEBHAN the heavy early next week. That's the infor- nation forwarded the writer today by Billy Gibson in a. letter postmark- ed San Francisco. Glib and his cham pion, Benny Leonard, are about to leave. But along with them will come Meehan, the husky, who has surprised the world with his recent feats. Billy says that he intends fore ing Jack Dempsey to meet his new charge, as he believes that Willie is the man who should meet Jess Will lard on July 4.
 This is an impossibility as Jack Dempsey Is contra ct-bound to Tex Rickard not to take part in any bout whatsoever prior to his battle with the champion. This puts an end to Billy's hope-but it does show that he Is on the job with his usual blind ing press agent stuff.
 There is one man, however, who should meet Willie Meehan, but whom we believe, the San Franciscan does not care to box and he is none other than Larry Williams of this city It will interest readers of this column, perhaps to be informed that Larry, slambanged Meehan all over the ring in Philadelphia four years ago. Every newspaper in Philadel- phia gave the verdict to the local heavyweight.
