MITCHELL SOCKS TED

Ex.Unbeaen Australian Lightweight Gets Terrible Lac
ing in American Debut-Blnded and Cory
With Ja,v His Only Defense
BY JAMES s. CAROLAN

Milwaukee. Wis. Feb. 27.--Lew
Edwards. unbeaten lightweight Of
The Antipodes. met with complete bloody
disaster in his first assault on the
American lightweigbts here tonight.
Ritchie Mitchell. Milwaukee, light
weight hero. with the aid of n cutting.
driving left and a smashing. destructive
right, handed out such n brutal beating
IN six rounds that the Australian was
unable to come out Of his corner for the
seventh.
Referee Walter O'Houlihau sent out
the distress signals. Edwards not only
was beaten. but Blinded. His left eye
was cut in two places and closed at the
end of the fourth round. Mitchell nut
the other eve out of operation in that
decisive sixth. Nearly 10000 gentle
men fans witnessed the American vic
tory, the antipodean crash.
Down Five Times

three times in the second round. once in
the third and again in the sixth. Ed
wards had no defense. Not once did he
raise his gloves to block punch. Hi
law served that purpose. His attack
Was his defense. but his offensive was
defeat. Mitchell battered and pounded
Edwards at will. In the sixth he
showed real sportsmanship when he
walked away after dropping Edwards
with two rapid fire smashes to the Jaw.
He allowed Edwards to make the count
Of nine, regain his poise and walk to
the center OF the ring before rcsuming
the attack. ... -
Mitchell's act was rare in prize ring
annals. He knew his man was gone,
absolutely finished, and did the humane,
charitable act Of letting down in his
attacks.
Edwards proved game. If he could
grasp the American style Of defense he
should make a very good boy. He is
aggressive, In fact superaggressive, and
this was his undoing..
Mitchell had height, reach and a
punch. Edwards possessed speed.
agility and gameness. The Australian 4
reputed punch did not assert itself. In
one round only--the fourth-wheu he
earned an even break, did he show any

class. Then he crashed a left to the
body and a right to the jaw that tenn,
porarily staggered the home product.
Glove Barrage
This effort was Edwards's final. He
was pounded numerically. in the fifth
and battered into submission in the
sixth.

English champs as well as the Aus.

Governor Allen today declined an
invitation to debate political issues
with J. Ham Lewis, former United

the Democrats. Previous speaking
engagements, the governor stated,
