London, Nov 17.-Ted kid Lewis.
the English middleweight champion,
tonight defeated Boy Mccormick in
the 14th round of a 20-round bout. The
referee stopped the fight in order to
save Mccormick from further punish
ment.
Mccormick bled profusely from cut
over one of his eyes during the final
rounds and was greatly hampered in
his work. In the 14th round Lewis
drove hard blow to Mccormick s
mouth, knocking out one of his teeth.
At the close of this round the referee
made an examination of McCormick's
injured eye and then declared Lewis
the winner of the bout.
Lewis conceded Mccormick II
pounds, which was expected to COM
pensate Mccormick for his inferiority
in science.
The bout was held in Albert halh
Lewis was the aggressor from the
start. 1t was hard fought contest,
in which there was much infighting.
1t was in the sixth round that Lew
is, with a hard right, split McCor-
mick's eyebrow, bdinging the blood in
streams. In the 18th Mccormick
drove home two straight lefts. but in
attempting another left lead was in
turn met with couple of straight
lefts to the chin. In the 18th Lewis
caught Mccormick with another right
to the head which re9pened the DAM
aged eye, and in the 18th he landed
two hard lefts to the damaged spot on
McCormick's face.

but there was no indication of re-
cession by either the United states
or Great Britain.
The irnprobability of decision in
the near future was indicated by the
announcement today that three or
four days more would be required to
complete the British case for pre-
sentation to the naval committee.
In the interim the question is re
ceiving the lively interest Of all the
delegations and when the commit
tee meets to take up the detailed
views of the five powers 1t may find
before it mass of data and argu-
ment that 1t will take weeks to as

An authoritative statement or
British naval views obtained tonight
disclosed that aircraft are not re-
garded by the British as having dis
placed capital ships in naval war
fare. Aircraft have a distinct place
in war, however, and 1T was said
that even aircraft are not regarded
by the British as having displaced
capital ships in naval warfare. Air
craft have distinct place in war,
however and it was said that even
aircraft bombardment of cities might
be justified because of the pressure
such attacks exerted on enemy gov
ernments The British spokesman
pointed out that bombardments of
London and Paris from the air dur
ing the war had been effective in
this way and it was indicated that
the British delegation would not
favor too sharp a limitation on air.
craft operations if the question
comes Up at the arms conference.
BY contrast, the British position
of adherence of submarines was ex-
planned as due to the feeling that
the submersible was a mere sin
strument of assassination" and in
capable of exerting any such inf1u-
ence on peoples and their govern
ments as air raids on the cities. The
British reply to the suggestion that
the submarine was the weapon OF
the weaker powers was that the
weak had never been oppressed by
the British navy when there were no
submarines.

basis of discussion" 1t was decided
also that when the specific points
were reached the Chinese "ten
points" are to be interlaced with the
items of the American agenda in de-
termining details of procedure.
A contributing factor to the two
days delay was said to be the illness
of Baron Shidehara, the Japanese
ambassador, who is in charge of Far
Eastern problems for his government.
1t was understood, however, that the
time required to communicate with
Toxic and the determination of the
Japanese to give a most careful ex-
animation to the Chinese proposals
have combined to make an immediate
statement Of Japan's views impos-
sible. 1t Is expected that when this
presentation is ready it will be given
to the public as an evidence of ia
pans willingness to proceed with the
discussion in the open.
The American government, which
has been understood to be in general
accord with the Chinese position,
continued its silence on the subjects.
but evidence of general approval
came from the headquarters of the
French delegation with indications
that Italy would follow suit. The
French declared their willingness to
give up their extra territorial priv
, ileges provided their government s
title to French Indo-China was un-
questioned. For China's aspirations
they expressed sympathy but they
also indicated that Japan's need of
expansion in some quarter could not
be minimized.
Formal announcement by Admiral
Baron Kato that Japan would ask
for a greater proportion of strength
than had been proposed for her in
the American plan became tonight
the center Of attention in the naval
armament negotiations. Making the
first explanation of the reservations
with which Japan accepted the plan.
Baron Kato also announced that the
Japanese government desired the
right to POSSESS at least one ship of
the most formidable type included in
the ornaments Of Great Britain and
the United States. He explained that
he did not refer to submarines but
would not indicate what class of YES
sci was in his mind.
The view behind the British objec-
tons is that the quota of 10000 tons
in submarines suggested by the
American plan for both Great Brit
ain and the United States is far too
large. The British, in fact, would
like to see the submarine abandoned
entirely. but there are considerations
of national defense which impel the
American delegates to hold deter
minedly to the figure they first pro-
posed. Late today the question was
discussed by the American delega-
ton with Theodore Roosevelt. the

Caustic Portland Comments
The Portland Express sports writer
has the following released from his
system:
1t Is rather amusing to see how
some Of the Boston papers attempt to
belittle Bowdoin's decisive victory
over their Tufts rivals here on Armis-
tice Day. One Hub scribe went so
far as to state that Bowdoin was not
20 points better than Tufts. All who
saw the mud battle will say that the
Ostergren-coached White bear mach :
inc was a whole lot more than 20
points better than Doc Parks Med
fordites for in the later stages of the
fray Tufts was practically playing
the Bowdoin Freshman eleven.
Apparently the Lewiston papers do
not circulate so far West as Cleve-
land, Ohio, otherwise Western Re-
serve grill authorities would not have
trusted their chances in the final two
games of the seasons schedule to
Fred Ostergren who has just arrived
on the scene. Planning of Ostergren
by the so-called Lewiston sport writ
ers begins to look as foolish as a
child with his first rattle: he must
play with it until it 'busts" And
Stan and Dan should forget some OF
the baby stuff as Ostergren's record
