BR|TTON WINS
TITLE CLASH
Worlds WeIterwelght Cham
plon Completely 0utoIasses
Ted Kid Lewis.
BY JACK vEIOCK,

NEW YORK, Feb. s.-Youth viii
DO served-but not always.
Jack Britton, thirty-six-year-old
welterweight champion Of the world,
has conclusively proven this fact to-
day.
Smiling cynically al the handicap
OF age, Britton conceded eleven years
TO Ted Lewis, his lusty rival, aud
gave him beating last night that
was as artistic as il was decisive.
AT the end of fiften rounds Madison
Square Garden shook with the cheers
OF the greatest crowd that has attend
ed a boxing contest there since the
Walker law went into effect as the
judges awarded Britton the decision.
Skilled as boxer, wiry and fast
lmarvelously fast for his age-the
champion left no doubt In the minds
of the crowd that the only way in
which Lewis could win would be via
the kayo- route. And Lewis wasn't
capable of IL.
LEWIS DID HIS BEST.
For Lewis It must be said that he
did his best. He was never in better
condition. and with youth and greater
endurance on his side he had some
thing of an advantage. Yet Britton
demonstrated that in SO far as he and
Lewis are concerned today. speed and
experience are greater than youth.
The result of their meeting indi-
Gates clearly that Britton is still the
master of the welterweight division.
with plenty Of room to spare. and 1t
appears that he will be able to hold
1.-THE title for some time to come-until
age has slowed him up to the point
where he no longer will be able to
box with his present skill
Lewis appeared to be hitting with
one arm free in the first two rounds.
and Britton protested at the second
bell. He went over to Lewis corner
and was received by taunt from
a Lewis second, Britton swung on
the insulter's jaw, upsetting him.
Lewis jumped up and the bout was
threatened with failure. Members of
the boxing commission hurried
around and managed to calm the
irate champion. There was no trouble
thereafter.
BOTH HAVE GOOD LEFrs.
Both boxers showed wonderful left
hands. Indeed, few hard rights landed
at any time. One came near causing
trouble. In the fourteenth round,
hopelessly outpointed, Lewis managed
to land a hard right swing on Brit
toms neck. The blow sent the title
holder into the ropes and the crowd
began scenting Knockout. But the
wise Britton proceeded to show
beautiful defense and passed through
the round without further distress.
For three rounds the challenger
made a good showing, landing many
hard. jarring left hooks. Then Brit
ton seemed to find the correct de-
tense and Lewis had shot his bolt.
From then on 1t was all Britton.
Toward the end Of the bout Lewis
tired perceptibly and held frequently
in the clinches. Britton landed many
rights on the jaw, but while they
carried a sting. they lacked weight TO
bring the challenger to his knees.
with the final bell both judges gave
the victory to Britton without a mo-
ment's hesitation. The award was
greeted with applause.

MENTAL HAZARDS
FOR HOPPE

Are all these wonderful cue
performances of Horemans', the
Belgian, and all the publicity to
show that he is a wizard from
Wzardville, calculated to
build up a mental hazard for
William F. Hoppe?
The Belgian's, exhibitions have
been marvellous, but no one is
quite sure yet just how he will
perform when he is playing un-
der the extra burden of a cham
pionship match. Hoppe is at
his best in title play, when
everything is at stake. He has
the true competitive tempera-
ment.
The strain of being hard
pressed is a stimulant to Hoppe.
Horemans may have this same
valuable qualification, too, but
he hasn't had a chance to prove
It yet.

Mr.. and Mrs. Woolf, who have

The interesting part about this couple
is the fact that whenever they saw
anything of interest they telegraphed
to the nearest large city for a moving
picture camera man to come to the
location where they were to take the
picture and include them in it. They
did this in all parts of the United
States and at the completion of their
trip which took them five years and
four months to accomplish, they join
ed all these different strips of film to-
gether. Mrs. Woolf, who is the cham
pion lady walker of the world, delivers
very interesting talk on the NOV
