Lewis Is really a nice fellow and
game as they make 'cn. And they
say that he is a student as the Uni
versity OF Washington and getting
along fine. Far be IL from us TO
knock Lewis, but he really should
stick to his school books. He took a
bad beating last night and was all In
at the finish. He made one game
fight of II. however. Doro wasn't
any too fresh himself when II was all
over.
We thought the rabbit punch was
barred from Seattle rings. but Doro
used IL last night time and time again
when Lewis was in a ciinch. and
Doro popped him on the back OF the
neck. This Is a dangerous punch and
the referees should be- instructed to
forbid II. Ted whitman didn't seem
70 know anything about II last night.
Bud Manning and Eddie Nell. a
pair Of speedy bantams. put up by
far the best fight OF the night. 1t
was a draw. aisho Manning had an
edge. Manning was the agxrcssor
and used his left with telling effect
and also worked on Neirs wind with
effect, too. Neil's best punch was
his right cross and An uppcrcut-
