Lewis Shy Finishing
Punch in Beating
Gilbert Easily
Phillips Whips Fourth
Copitol Boxer in Row
In Outpointing Wright

Stoney Lewis the local Negro
light-heavyweight, now has four
victories in a row to his credit, but
his latest win, >over AL Gilbert of
Newark last night at Turner's arena,
failed to advance his rating the
kayo producer he is supposed to be.
Gilbert strictly was soft touch
and Lewis was able. to hit him with
every punch he had, but the New
ark veteran wouldn't hit the can
vas except once in the, second round.
Lewis three previous, fights ended
with him knockout .winner, but
last night his touted right produced
nary q dent in Gilbert. Gilbert
went down for nine count in the
second after catching a left hook on
the chin, but thereafter Lewis was
able to do little more than rock
him occasionally. It was Lewis all
the way, however, as he demon
Strated a fast left. His right, with
which he had plenty of opportuni-
ties, carried no steam. A crowd sof
1889 paid 1892 to witness the
show.
The semifeature had a bit more
action as Jimmy Phillips of Balti-
more gave an eight-round boxing
lesson to Oscar (Thunderbolt)
Wright of Washington. Phillips
drove Wright all around the ring
with left jab and bothered him
quite a bit with blows to the mid
section during the infighting. 1t
was the fourth successive win in
Washington rings for Phillips.
Two knockouts were produced in
the preliminaries. Bill Brown put
the sleep on Pedro Sisco in 2 min
utes Is seconds of the first round.
while Referee Charley Reynolds
awarded technical kayo to Bill
Duncan in 40 seconds of the third
round of his heavyweight bout
against Mike Henry. Henry went
down twice in the second round and
took a count of nine in the third,
when Reynolds stopped the one
sided affair.
In the opener, walter Poodles of
Baltimore decisioned Don Daley of

Bruins and Red Wings
Can Reach P|ayoff
Final Tonight
Injuries Reorronge All
Teams as They Face
Montreal, Toronto

BY the Associated Press.
Although they will be wearing the
uniforms of Boston, Montreal, De-
troit and Toronto, it virtually will
be four new teams that take the ice
tonight in what may be the last
games of the semifinal round in
the Stanley Cup playoffs.
So brulsing has been the play in
the earlier games that the cas-
ualties have mounted to almost the
same heights as the gate receipts.
Boston, which leads Montreal by
three games to one in the best-of-
four series, has hinged its hoped for
closing out the semifinal round at
home tonight on the startling inn
provement in the condition of Jack
Crawford. defenseman. His alb
sence, with knee and ankle injuries,
was given as the reason for the
Bruins blanking by the Canadiens
last Saturday.
Refused Travel Permit.
Montreals hopes, however, suf-
fered blow when the Canadiens
came to BeantoWn without Gerry
Heffernan and Charlie Phillips.
Heffernan has no travel permit to
cross the border and his loss forced
Coach Dick Irwin to list the veteran
Charlie Sands as right wing in a
line with Marcel Dheere and Dutch
Hitler.
The Detroit Toronto series, which
has been rougher than a dime store
file, also will be resumed tonight
with both outfits having rearranged
line-ups.
The Leafs must win to keep the
series alive and have the advan-
tage of playing at home but without
Gaye Stewart, the years No.
rookie. Stewart was hurt so Sc
rlously in Saturdays fracas that he
will be out for the remainder of the
season even if Toronto goes on into
the final round.
Recall Two Players.
And Detroit must get along with
out sgd Howe and Alex Motter, also
casualties of Saturdays battle. The
Wings, who hold a three-to-t two
game advantage, have called up
Wing Adam Brown and Defenseman
Hal Jackson from Indianapolis OF
the American League to bolster
their riddled lineup.
Jack Forsey probably will get into
the Leaf lineup instead of Stewart.
II both Boston and Detroit
triumph tonight the semifnal round
will be over. Should Montreal win,
however, the sixth game will be
played at the Canadian city Thurs
day. II Toronto trims Detroit the
two clubs return to the Motor City
for the seventh and final game

A self-imposed pre-spring training

is to pay dividends in the form of
starting assignment on the Chicago
Cubs hurting staff.
Hanyzewski, who caught on with
the Cubs last year from the semipro
ranks only to be shipped to Milwau.

months ago to earn a Cubs pitching
job. Believing the first impression
is the most important, he coaxed
speed and curves out of his right
arm in South Bend IndD field
house for three months before re-
porting to the Cubs spring training
camp.
In the first intra- squad game he
pitched as if in mioseason form, and
won praise from players and
coaches, and especially from Mana
ger Jimmy Wilson, who said:
Just look at that kid. He's got so
much stuff that all those guys can
see is the smoke"
