GREAT WRESTLING TO-NIGHT AT CHESTNUT ST.; Jack Britton Knocks Out Ted Lewis; Is Now Welter-weight Champion By Associated Press. Canton, Ohio. March 18.—Jack Britton, of New York, last night knocked out Ted Lewis, welter weight champion of the world, in the ninth round of a scheduled twelve-round bout here. The end came after two minutes and ten sec onds from a long swing to the jaw. The veterans fought at catch weights. , Lewis did not land five clean blows. The bell saved him in the sixth round, when he was knocked down three times. Referee Matt Hinkel had to break them on sev eral occasions, but Lewis did not show any indications of weakening. Britton drove a right to Lewis' nose and the Englishman staggered back. He went down for a count of four from a stiff left to the jaw. Lewis staggered to his feet and onto the ropes, where Britton's left to the jaw again put him down for a count of six. Lewis got to his feet slowly and before ho could cover, Britton had sent in another left swing that forced him to his hands and knees, lie took a count of eight and was in a clinch at the bell. From that time until the final blow Lewis tried hard to avoid the inevitable. J'liough ho did not do much dam age, Britton was master in the eighth and it appeared as if Lewis was stronger.

March 25. the signatures of the Harrisburg pre mier and the Allentown celebrity being secured last evening. SchiftN was tired from his hard battle with Joe Tipitz the last time he met O'Keefe, and he will be a dif ferent Sammy this trip. There is a lively semi wind-up. too, includ ing Max Williamson, champion bantamweight of the state with Young Fulton, of Slatington. A third big attraction will be Nate Isaaenfan hooked up with Johnny Clark, of Allentown. There seems to be a mistaken impression among the fans that these bouts are no£ op< to the public, and the management wishes to hereby announce that it is to the public in general to whom they are catering. They - have the best equipped club in Central Pennsylvania, one of the finest padded rings splendidly lighted by a cluster of powerful flood lights, and showers and dressing rooms for the boxers. Ladies here have the opportun ity to witness boxing by high ar tists under the most favorable cir cumstances. Joe Barrett's next sKow at the Standard Theater in Steelton is fixed for April 2, in order that it will not conflict with-other shows, those of the Motive Power and Frankie Erne's events. For a starter, Barrett's bouts the other evening proved thrtt Steelton will support good sparring and the only question now is where can they be staged. An arena is badly needed and the hope is that the Steel Company will take a , hand in this just as as it did in establishing big league baseball. i , DIMVB ANEW ON llKltS Stockholm. March 18.

A. Graver, of 'the Bos ton American League Club, on their way to the Red Sox spring training camp at Tampa, Fla. As the main party of the club docs not leave for Tampa until noon to morrow by boat from New York, Secretary Graver said that Ruth might tiavel to New York alone and coino to terms with club officials there to-day. Ruth, who was in Bos ton last night, insisted he would not knock any home runs for the chnni pions this season unless his salary de mands were met. If "Babe" Ruth has a swelled head over his importance the Boston man agement will have only itslef to blame. Frazee, not long since, came out with a statement that "Babe" is a greater attraction than Cobb. "In the long run Ruth may not be as valuable a box office attraction as Cobb," said he, "because he is not in the game,every day, but for any particular day on which lie is play ing he is a stronger card than fcitc Detroit star. You can count on see ing Cobb in action every time the Tigers play, but Ruth, unless he happens to be playing the outfield temporarily, appears only occasion ally. AVe cannot guarantee his ap pearance at any time. ,Cobb's batting and base running feature- nearly ev ery game in which he .participates. His fielding ia clever and graceful, hut he does not shine there as in offensive play. Ruth gives a great show whenever he pitches, for he is not only spectacular and clever in his mound speciality, but the fans love to see him swing that big bat. Cobb is a scientific hitter. He out guesses pitchers, pulls to different fields and is a clever hunter. He uses his speed to beat out infield hits. Rutji, on the other hand, is a" throw hack to the old-time slugger. He swings a long, heavy bat which he handles as if it were a toothpick, and it is a delight even to see him miss one—not for me, of course, but for the average spectator. Ruth's terrific free swing a joy forever—to the home fans if he connects with thfc MARCH 18, 1919. hall and to the fans of other cities if he misses. There is nothing like it in the major lengues. Babe has no imitators. He doesn't believe there is a pitcher who can fool him right along. He may strike out inglorious ly, but lie is apt to belt that same pitcher tor a home run in the same game. Confidence never deserts him. The most popular player is the one who can make home runs. He may not amount to much otherwise, but as long as he can bust 'em he is idolized by the fans. The public ap preciates Cobb's skill and science, but Ruth will get more applause by making one home run than Cobb would receive for hitting lour sin gles. The dear old pnldie loves the crash of a home run hit. and Ruth's prodigious drives amaze even the old-timers. I don't believe any of the game's great hitters ever drove a ball as far as Babe can drive it. If we would advertise Ruth to pla*- ev ery day he wou|d bo more of a sen sation than Cobb. Last summer when we were using him regularly in the outfield and he was knocking out those home runs nearly every day the fans flocked to see him. Some day Ruth will retire as a pitcher, but he should be good for many more years as an outfielder, for h.c lias the wallop."
