TO prove 1t issued a challenge to the
Upton Slasher and easily disposed of
him.
Since Herman has been in California
he has met three men who were top
notchers in their class. In two of these,
one with Herrera, who gave Battling
Nelson the hardest fight Of his life,
tho referee gave n draw decision, which
was claimed unjust by practically ev-
cry man in the pavilion at Los Ange-
les; in the other one, with Abe Attel,
the public also thought Herman should
have had the decision. His disposal of
Eddie Hanlon is still fresh IN the MEM
ory Of the fight fans,
Since coming TO Tonopah the Kid has
surprised the followers Of the game by
the way he performs on the road and
in the gymnasium. He is n glutton for
work and no man is too big or too
little for the Chicago man to tackle.
The determination with which Herman
starts his training stunts has caused
the sporting element of Nevada not lit
tie concern, and when he steps into the
ring on New Year IS day he will have
more than one of them holding tickets
on him.

in the bath tub, The Freshman ran
through the rooms of the house and
fed 20 the upper story. He was about
to climb on the roof when he missed his
footing and fell TO the ground, a dis

When Allen lay on the ground and
started TO moan, his companions real

summoned. The doctor at once saw
that the case was d serious one and or.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Senator

Col. "Ed" Loose admits it with
mournful Countenance. The Colonel s

Col. Loose have advised Senator Smoot

them to some of the Senators who are

things they warn Senator Smoot that
an extemporaneous effort would be un-
wise.
Mr.. Sutherland inquired of one of his

that the "courtesies of the Senate

shown his class on several occasions
by coming right back and defeating
men who have defeated him In his
first fight with Clarence Forbes. who
at that time was considered the best
in the business, the Ghetto champion
lost in six rounds by the decision route,
When they met again Herman showed
improvement, and put Forbes away with
hard right TO the jaw in the sixth
round.
Meeting several lesser lights in tho
ring, Herman easily carried off the
honors He next tackled Kid Abel
This fight was most vicious from the
start to the finish, Herman having both
his jawbones broken in the first round
Notwithstanding this fact he managed
TO stand off his opponent for SIX rounds
and secured IA draw.
That Herman s grit and determine

the fact that. after receiving these ter
