Lewis came through. In the en bout of the Shamrock Club's show at the Arena ! isdav night the local con- tender for the Canadian welterweight crown demonstrated that "they can come back" by earning a clear-cut de- cesion in a ten-round go over Young of Louisville, Kentucky, the Southern champion and making AMenils for the decision that he dropped to the cor a week ago last Monday, Lewis' oi was by a far greater margin than was that of Firpo ten days ago. In the first clash Firpo took the first five, and then Lewis staged a rally that lasted until the end and almost wiped ont his opponent's early lead; but last night: Lewis went right after his con- queror, and hy a more varied attack and a much stronger defence went ent in front in the second round, and he steadily increased his lead round hv round, until at the start of the ninth all the lecal lad had to do was to re- tocimy, cre NEW MARTIN Al.

He was more aggressive in the ninth and tenth rounds and tried continually to slip across his right cross, but Lewis was Luot to be denied, and in the ninth add- "ed to his margin. In the final round Lewis decided that he would try for a sleep-producer, and with Firpo of the ave mind there was plenty of action, and he walked away with the honcrs here. The bout was Lewis' practically from the start, and Firpo's showing was a great disappointment to those who saw him in action last week, ust what was the cause of Firpo's failure to fight back to his former bout is hard to determine. The question of weight probably had more to do with it than anything else. In the first bout he Md in at 152 and lost his for- feit. Last night he came in at 147!4, nearly five pounds under his previous foundage, and he looked as if he had ost more than dead weight, There was not the power behind his punches that there was in his first appearance here, and he seemed to tire much earlier in the hout, Lewis Greatly Improved Of course, Lewis wis responsible in a degree for Firpo's different showing The local lad iH not wait for five rounds to start going and he had a more varied style of attick. Instead of trying to end hostilities with the aid of a left hook only, Lewis called a straight left into action and also made his right carn its passage. In the in- {ial bout Firpo jabbed away with a elt that Lewis evuld not stop fur five rounds, but last night the tale was a different oe, che Ca cadian had a good defence for this style of attack and while a number of them landed home on the target, a great number were picked off by Lewis' right glove and others were turned aside. Those that landed did not have the same snap or power Behind them. Of the pair, Lewis had the hetter left jab and all the way through he | was the aggressor. He bored in con- | tinually and at close quarters played | havoe. with Firpo amidships.
