Lewis Flashes Sporadically.

WILLIE weakened in the stretch and
Lewis pumped both gloves to his
head, but only during a brief furry
in the tenth round die the l75- pound
division ruler unveil the crisp punches
which carried him to the top of his
class
Reddish found little difficulty in
the early rounds in smacking John
Henry solidly with a potent left hook
and had Lewis in trouble on several
occasions. Lewis weathered Willie's
most persuasive blows, however, and
outhugged him over the route.
There was some dissension Of
opinion among the spectators as to
the verdict, many feeling Reddish
earned no less than a draw The
officials, however, were unanimous in
awarding the decision to Lewis
The comeback effort of Ray Ingram,
local featherweight, was jolted rudely
by Christobal Jaramillo. busy little
Puerto Rican. Jaramaillo drove an
head and had the local lad reeling
continually after the fifth round, but
Ingram gamely stuck 1t out for eight
rounds to lose the decision.
Three Kayoes in Prelims.
THREE of the other four prelimi-
naries were terminated abruptly
through the medium of technical
knockouts George Abrams, rising
local middleweight, disposed of Tony
Livingstone Of Quantico, Va, in
minute and Is seconds of the third
round; Ossie Stewart, colored Pitts
burgh middleweight, bowled over a
feeble opponent in Leo Duncan Of
Philadelphia in 2 minutes and IS
seconds OF the third heat and Freddie
Wilson, Pittsburgh middleweight,
polished off Tiger Smith OF Baltimore
in l minute and 20 secons of the Sec
ond session.
The most interesting of these found
Abrams absorbing Livingstone's stiff
left hooks in the first two rounds,
only to catch Tony with a crushing
right early in the third Tony Topped
for count of nine and arose to
collide with left, which spilled him
for nine again. When he hit the deck
the third time, Referee Denny Hughes

Ever since the trade Nevsom and
Ferrell have been followed closely
both by the Washington and Boston
clientele. In their first two starts
each won. Ferrell carried on to win
his third start while NeWsom was
driven out of the box, although he
was not charged with a loss. The
next time out Newsom pitched a

best pitchers on the club, of course
The rules say you must change pitch

Appeases n. B. A., Displeases Fans.

F THAT'S the best Lewis can do
and ringwise veterans who have
seen him fight previously say it
isn't-he's the most overrated puncher
to fling a fist here in recent months.
John Henry appeared to be here for
one reason-to erase the possibility Of
suspension by the National Boxing
Association for failing to fulfill a
previous contract to fight here.
Lewis was suspended by the N. B. A.
then but the ban was lifted when he
promised to show here last night. He
did, and while he satisfied f1stiana' S
governing body, that hardly is balm for
his sad showing.
Reddish, of course, had much to do
with Lewis mediocre performance.
The colored Philadelphia heavyweight,
who outweighed John Henry by nearly
13 pounds, belted the champ rather
freely inside, forcing Lewis to clinch.
Willies low blows, which cost him
the fifth round, coupled with Lewis
superiority at long range, we're instru-
mental in the ultimate outcome.

burghers of Brooklyn, who hate the

Hassett, Joe Strip and Gibby Brack.
In Pittsburgh they will think, and
rightly, that Al Todd is better all

fans will be yelling Where is Whit

be justified in resenting the offhand

Ferrelrs Personality HELPS.

ITS just that this Washington club
has no confidence in its pitchers.
So often has it been hurt by poor
pitching that it has become purely
mechanical. The players don't seem
to have much confidence in De Shong
or Appleton or Cascarella or Linke
And the pitiful part Of it is that, we'll,
De Shong. for example, hasn't much
confidence in himself
You can see 1t. Bonura hits
home run and De Shong
tosses his glove up in the air
resignedly. Somebody else sim
giles and the same thing hap
pens. And 50 it goes.
"Ferrells personality helps him. He
is cocky, sure of himself. The team
behind him finds his spirit infectious
Weaver hasn't Ferrell's personality out
in the box but his teammates know
that whenever Monte pitches they will
be in ball game.
1--WE studied this sort of PSYCHOLOGY
for good many years. High school
teams have a good deal of trouble as
result Of it. College teams are able
to combat it little better. Profess
sional teams are still more adept.

Road Over Cape Nome Said To Be
 Claciered Over

Fred Cook, Solomon river sec ton prospector and miner, who arrived in Nome via "his shanks pony, carried the information that the winter trail around Cape Nome on the ice of Boring Sea was impossible due to- storms which have broken up the ice x caused it to be more or less afloat all the time, besides resulting in high pressure ridges and broken up ice fioes.
 He said that the summer road on the Cape was completely ob- liberated by snow and glacier and that it was impossible to proceed around the Cape by this route, due to the serious danger of slid- ing on the glacier.
 Fred said he came over the top of the Cape where the old road, many years ago, used to lead, and that it was pretty tough going due to lots of snow, and steep climbing. Reporting on condi. tions in the Solomon section, he said everyone was well and bus fly occupied. He also said that Solomon was getting more than her share of winter storms.
