Chicago Tribune, May 12, 1900:
“’Jack’ Lewis and ‘Young Griffo’ fought a six-round draw last night in the windup at the Star Theater. They met at 138 pounds. The Australian made a good showing at the start, but it was soon apparent he was not in condition to go even six rounds at a fast pace. Lewis played for his opponent’s kidneys, and in the second round brought blood from his nose. Griffo, as usual, was tricky, and as in his two last fights here, displayed a tendency to heel. The last rounds of the fight were of a fairly even character, and Referee Paddy Carroll announced a draw.”
