Lewis Too Fast
For ]. BaShan1

Milwaukee, Wis. July 22.-Details
OF the recent battle in London be-
tween Johnny Basham. welterWeight
champion OF England, and Ted Lewis,
former American champion. are just
at hand Lewis won the fight in the
ninth round, the seconds OF Basham
tossing in the towel against his wish
liar TO the recent bout IN Milwaukee
between Richie Mitchell and Lew
Tender.
The London Sporting Life in speak
ing Of the Basham fight said: 1T was
a heroic contest, at least so far as
Basham was concerned, for he had his
mouth severely cut by Lewis's fore
arm in the second round, and from
that point blood flowed freely from
the cut. until from q trickle It grew
to a steady stream His Supporters
wanted II stopped in the seventh, but
Johnny would not listen to the en-
treaties. It went two more rounds and
the Tow OF blood could not be stopped.
The wound became wider open end at
the close OF the ninth round his sec
onds took matters in their own hands
and tossed the towel into the ring.
Basham was sitting in his chair and
jumped I'd TO kick the towel out, but
the referee ruled the fight was over
and declared Lewis the winner. But
for the very bad cut Basham would
not easily have been beaten.
So FAR as could be seen Lewis
brought his forearm up in a cIinch
with all his strength and connected
with Johnny's mouth, cutting It badly
and also loosened a few teeth, one OF
which pierced LeWis's own arm Just
above the wrist Despite the handi-
cap Basham put up game and stub
