negro is in good shape, and. banking on
man not being prepared for q battle
with a $500 stake, is bad business
The men Herman knocked out In the
three years were Austin Rice and Clar-
ence Forbes in 1895, and Dave Sullivan
in 1906. Rice is a punishment-eater who
has been hammered 10 pieces by every
prominent lightweight in the past de-
cade. Kid Sullivan nearly killed him in
eleven rounds IN Baltimore last Janu-
ary. Clarence Forbes IS a has-been who

livan was once a good man but has long
been all in.
Some Things He Didn't Do.
He didn't knock out Tommy Mowatt
in fifteen rounds, although Mowatt is
an extremely open fighter and easy for
any scientific boxer to reach. He
couldn't beat Young Erne in fifteen
rounds. although Erne is in no way con
sidered a championship possibility He
Z didn't knock out Harry Lewis in six
rounds, and Lewis was beaten by Sulli-
van in fifteen rounds and got a draw
with Tommy Lowe in fifteen rounds He
didn't knock out Eddie Hanlon, who had
never been anything but a chopping
block, and had been a dead one for a
year or SO when he met Herman. The
best he could do with Aurelio Herrera
was a draw in twenty rounds, although
| the Mexican has been openly accused o.
having a yellow streak, and he should

Cans in a Walk-0n Form.
| Truly this record of the man who is
being touted as a coming champion. does
not show that he had any particular
right in the first place to even get a
/ battle with Cans. and II the negro loses
