Lewis often referred to as "Dude" Lewis and had to forfeit $25 for not making the stipulated weight. He (Lewis) resorted to his usual right and left swings, which, for the most part, landed harmlessly on the gloves of the clever Siddons.--(Fergus County Argus), 2/17/1904

"Heyward was by far the fastest of the two men, both with his hands and on his feet, but this speed was offset by the superior ring generalship of Siddons. The white boy (Siddons) showed the advantage of a long career by the manner in which he blocked the colored lad's blows."--(Fergus County Argus), 1/13/1904 Helena Independent has opponent Dude Lews?

It lasted until 1 o'clock, and as both men were fresh, both unhurt and both inactive to a large extent, the referee was requested to call it a draw, in order not to violate the Sunday law--that was the excuse announced."
