In Boston, Lewis belonged to the outfield trio which included Tris Speaker (CF) and Harry Hooper (RF) and is considered perhaps the best ever in fielding skill. At bat, Lewis was a renowned line-drive hitter who consistently finished in the top ten in most offensive categories despite a short career which was interrupted by World War I.
From 1912 to 1933, there was a 10-foot-high mound that formed an incline in front of the left field wall at Fenway Park. Duffy Lewis, Boston's first star left fielder, played the steep 10-foot embankment so well, it became known as Duffy's Cliff.

The chancellor of the Circuit Court of Gulf County, Florida, entered a final decree in favor of Lewis, and transferred the cause to the law side of the court for the purpose of a jury determination of the extend of the damages.
Lewis failed to prove that the Department took any of his property by reason of the construction of the overpass.
As to the taking of the Lewis triangular tract we affirm the chancellor in his finding that the State Road Department failed to sustain its burden of proving res judicata in that it failed to prove identity in the thing sued for and identity in the cause of action.
