LEWIS CONQUERS M'AVOY IN ITS POUND CONTEST
Negro Champion Won All the Way From BfitOn;
 13,OOO Paid $3S,OOO
By CHOICE KIRKsEY

United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, March 14.-(UP)-- John Henry Lewis, one-timo Phoenix, Ariz., choirboy visioned Q campaign today to extend his reigh as light heavyweight champion ell around the globe.
 Conqueror of Jock McAvoy, niid- dleweight and light heavyweight champion of the British empire, in Q brisk 15-round duel last night in Madison Square Garden, Lewis seri- ouSly considered offers to defend his title from London to Australia, one from London, and another from Paris.
 supremely confident of his sue periority over anyone in the world at 175 pounds, Lewis may make the next defense of his title on foreign shores instead of trying to invade the heavyweight division. The pres- ence of Joe Louis in the unlimited division may have something to do with Lewis desire to stay in his own class.
 By winning the unanimous de- cision of Referee Arthur Donovan and the two judges over McAvoy, the tall, brown-skinned negro went Q long way toward rehabilitating the light heavyweight division after six sad years during the reigns of Maxey Rosenbloon and Bob Olin. A crowd of 12,08O paid $37,7l2.24 to see the best 175-pound title fight since Tommy Loughran and Jimmy Slattery staged their whirlwind 16- round battle in 1880. Lewis weighed 172 1-4, McAvoy 168 l-4.
 Lewis won by a wide margin, but for some unaccountable reason the crowd booed when Joe Humphries raised his hand.
 T was sorry to see the crowd boo Lewis" commented McAvoy in his dressing room. "He clearly won although I didn't fight my best"
 Although the stout-hearted Eng lishman, who conceded weight, height and reach to the champion, refused to say why he didn't fight his best battle, one look at his swol- len right hand explained why he seldom threw Q right hand punch from the ninth round to the finish. Dr. William Walker, commission physician who examined 1t, said 1t was badly bruised and would have to be V-rayed to determine the ex- act extent of the injury.
 Through the first nine rounds, the battle was almost evenly waged. Fighting out of @ crouch, McAvoy puzzled the champion by his bob ping and rolling and made Lewis miss badly. With Lewis out of posi- ton, the puffy-faced Englishmen peppered him with blows. Both tired through the late rounds, and with McAvoy's right hand practically useless, the tempo slowed down. Lewis won the last six rounds, fre- quently outscoring the challenger three and four punches to one. Mo- Avoy's ring cunning and clever de- fense undoubtedly saved him from considerable punishment during this stage, and possibly from being f1oored.
 Lewis''victory clearly qualities him to wear the mantle of light heavy weight champion once worn by such immortals as Bob Fitzsimmons, Georges Carpenter, Gene Tunney. Paul Berlenbach, Jack Delaney and Mike McTigue.

Probable Cause Found In
Two Charges Against
Negro in County Court

Curtis Rainey, Negro, who was re-
Gently extradited from Pennsylvania
and returned here by Sheriff J. E
Hamlet, was tried in county court
today on two charges of assault with
a deadly weapon. He was found guilty
on both counts. Recorder Protein S
B. Rogers, presided.
Rainey was charged with assault
ing Mrs. Lucy Atkinson with a deadly
weapon, a stick, and was sent to the
roads for 80 days. He appealed, and
his bond was set at 5000. He was re-
manded to Jail in default OF same.
In another warrant, he was charg

Gus injury. Probable cause was founC
and he was bound over to the next
criminal term of Vance Superior

increase as fast as others are cur
ed. So you simply are going around
in a circle getting no where as to
the eradication of your disease.
The health department is vitality
interested in venereal disease cases
where they can infect others, or
where they are a menace to the pub
lie health, and we will see that any
case coming to our knowledge taxes
treatment until non-infectious. Our
regulations are ineffective, because
our knowledge of cases is limited
to Just a few. How to control, has not
as yet, and I doubt, ever will be sue
cessfully solved.
We believed the accidental infec-
ton of adults to be rather rare-not
impossible but improbable. Children
we feel are sometimes the innocent
victims of accidental Infection by
means of maid or nurse and possible
even a parent We also, realize that
in this class of diseases we probably
have the sin that is spoken of in
the Scripture as "that which is Wis
tied from the fathers upon the chill
dren even unto the third and fourth
generation" and it is often this con-
genital type that is responsible fol-
a large number of feeble-minded, de-
formed and inmates of our various
State institutions.
Many and large books have been
written upon this Social problem;
and like all social problems, becomes
more complicated as our popula-
ton increases. The intermingling Of
the people of cities and communities
one with another, becomes a matter
of minutes or hours, where it was
once days or months.
Surveys made through our State
two years ago shows that Plus
Wassermann blood reaction-whicf
is considered, indicates Luetic Infec-
ton is very prevalent, among oHl
population The incident of infec
ton is much higher in the colorec
race than the white.
This disease is becoming such {
menace to our Physical and Menta
ihealth that DR.. Thomas Parran
Surgeon General of the United States
Public Health Service, has made ar
appeal to all Health Departments te
Syphilis. In this connection I wish tt
say to all persons employing domes
tics as maids, cooks or buffers to fol
low the example of the State, regard
ing food handlers, and have Blood
Wassermann made on all Domestic
Employees. The Health Office will
have this test made if referred by
the employer
The general public has knowledge
of these things; even the modern
high school students, I dare say
know the prevention, symptoms anc
cure. What is it then? a genera
apathy toward this loathsome dis
ease or may suggest it is the toe
frequent indulgence in "stimilants" OF
,pleasures that dull oGr moral in
