SAYS LEWIS WILL
BEAT CARPENTER
Tommy Burns, Former Heavy.
weight Champ, Expects Eng
lish Welterweight to Win.

LONDON, April <..-London is all
steamed up over the coming battle
between Georges Carpenter and Ted
Kid Lewis.
Not only do many Of the British
fans believe that Lewis is good
enough 10 take the F'renchman. but
they are already talking about the
prospects OF matching the Kid with
Jack Dempsey for the worlds title
Lewis is one Of the most popular
boxers England ever had. Since he
won the British welterweight and
mid dleweight championships and
knocked out Boy Mccormick. the
light heavyweight champion in a
non.title bout. Londoners have been
ready 10 concede him almost any
thing IN the ring.
One Of the most prominent lights
20 allow him a chance with the
Frenchman is Tommy Burns, for
mer worlds heavyweight champion,
who committed himself recently IN
the following interview:
Many sportsmen express the opin-
ion that the Carpentier-Lewis bout
is a bad match and the vast weight
disparity between the two gives some
reason for the belief.
Possibly no one knows better
than I what il means to give away
weight. I was forced 10 do IL in
practically all my fights and was
mostly successful until I met Jack
johnson who beat me. not by supe-
iior skill, bue because he was too
mig and strong. shall always main
tain that I would have been there AZ
he end of the contest had it been
allowed 20 continue
I'm Lewis we undoubtedly have
the hardest hitting welterweight
since the DAYS Of Kid Lavigne and
Joe wolcott. He rips his punches in
and what he doesn't know about in
lighting and ringcraft isn't worth
knowing. He showed that i'm beating
Boy Mccormick.
This is where he has a chance 10
whip the clever Carpenter. Klaus
and Panke beat the Frenchman
simply by their sun eriority inside
and their capacity to take punish
uent.
Lewis is wonderfully built for his
weight. He can punch as hard al
any living mlddleweight and good
many heavyveights. lie has mar
vellous pair of shoulders and just
enough sinew I'm his legs 10 get
around quickly He is probably boy
ing better now than at any time -

THE Frenchman is not a great eX-
ponent Of infghting Nearly all OF
his battles have been Won by an open
punch in the early rounds. ~ Lewis
can box with him for 10 rounds and
get at his body frequently I look
COR the contest 10 end IN his favor
