Freddy Lewis Due to Battle Kelly

FREDDY LEWIS DUE TO BATTLE KELLY Maple Shade Bomber Meets Rugged Philadelphian at Convention Hall The best club fighter uncovered in South Jersey in recent years is due to appear as one of the principals in the semi-final at the Convention Hall next Tuesday night. The cobble-thrower in question is none other than Freddy Lewis of Maple Shade, who is slated to meet Jack Kelly, durable Kensington middleweight, in an eight-rounder. Walcott and Barry are scheduled to travel over the 10-round route. Lewis and Kelly both are popular favorites with local boxing fans. Lewis is a great puncher with plenty of heart while Kelly is a shifty boxer who also can take it. Lewis' last fight here was a slugfest with Joe Duca of Paulsboro, and Freddy was awarded the decision after a spectacular battle. Prior to his meeting Duca, Lewis had knocked out several opponents and had decisively beaten all others he had faced. Kelly fought two tough battles with Young Kid Chocolate of this city, early in the indoor season and won both encounters. Jack will have height and reach on Lewis, but Freddy is a "bomber" and is likely to bring down the Philadelphian at any stage of the fuss if he hits him on a vital spot. Promoter Lew McFarland today announced that "Jersey Joe" Walcott, Maple Shade knockerout, would meet Steve Colucci of New York, in the feature bout of 10 rounds. Walcott originally was scheduled to meet Donald "Red" Barry of Washington, D. C., but McFarland was notified late last Thursday by State Athletic Commissioner George E. Keenen that Barry could not fight in New Jersey owing to his laboring under a suspension in Connecticut. New Jersey has a working agreement with Connecticut so Barry will not be permitted to box in this state till his suspension is lifted in Connecticut. Three six-rounders complete the night's bill. Joe Mancuso of Maple Shade, meets Johnny Vierick of National Park; Al Narcisso of South Camden, tackles Freddy Cincinnati, a neighborhood rival, and Joey Ruggier [sic], still another South Camdenite, takes on Danny Ryrie of Fairview.
