Good Work by Herman.

Aiu failure TO beat AurefTO
Herrera at Las Angeles on Friday night
was disappointing TO his local admirers
Still they consider that, handicapped as he
was IN height reach, and weight, and
even break with the sturdy hard-hitting
Mexican was equal to q victory except
that the hOnOrs and the long end of the
purse did not go with it Those who have
been following the ring dOings of the
contestants anIiciDdted a decision for
Herman if thu battle went the limit, and
mat If 1t was brought to a hurried close
IL would be hats off, to the Mexican
The fight went the limit. and careful
peFusal OF the accounts Of it gives Her
man much the better of the argument
All reports state the KID was the ag-
greSScr, OUtSlugged and OutnOinted his Oh
ponent during the first sixteen rounds.
and that Herrera had slightly the better
OF II IN the final rounds. Several accounts
SNdteu indJ Herrera eVened I'D the fight
IN the seventeenth round by comneIIinz
Herman to clinch. That, I Judge is
stretching it a bit, as il is difficult to un-
derstand how fighter. outpOinted and
outfOught for sixteen rounds is entitled
TO an even break because he forced his /
opponent to clinch.
1t is more than proba BILE Herrera in |
dulged in considerable cliDcbing I11rinc,
the first sixteen rounds and IN that case
ne simply broke even on clinches and not /
on actual fighting. According to the ac- |
counts Herrera fought himself INTO a /
CraW in the last four rounds. and as the
decision met the approval of the specta-
Tors those who did not witness the con-
was just
Herman fought up to expectations and
must have fought cleveriy to avoid the
MeXican's terrific right hand walton.
There is ssme talk of matching him
against either Jimmy Britt or Battling
Nelson, to both of whom he will be com
PEELED to concede weight
Oougherty Afraid of Gardner.
Jack Dougherty's failure to go on with
ms match with Jimmy Gardner after all
ar aITan Ii genents regarding the weight and
the division of the money had been made
places him in bad light. His excuse
Tor eVadlng Jimmy. reports state was
rear oil losing his reputation as money
maker. This sUbteTfuge is ridiculous
why should he fear Gardner when only
a Few days ago he posted $1,000 to fight
Joe Cans! He must have made the bluff
10 1ght Cans Just for newspaper noto-
riety, as the cOlOred man certainly is a
tougher proposition than Gardner Jacks
recent victory over Buddy Ryan added
more to his reputation than aU of his
other tights combined and his fluking
out OF his match with Gardner places /
him notcheS below where ne stood before
he defeated Buddy" 1t would have
been better had he met Jimmy and taken
a chance. The fight was scheduled TO take /
place at Milwaukee Friday night and /
his WEIGHING left the club without
match.
Bites Hand That Feeds.
Howard Carr. or KID Howard. as he |

amateurs when the local authorities ham /
meTed down the lid against profession

one Eddie Tancl as Il good boy to stick /
Tancl showed up remarkably well AT

night and won them so impressiveIy and |
SO decisively that he was voted the best /
