THE PUGILISTS
BALL PLAYERS
 BACK HERMAN
Johnny McGraw and His Comrade. Pick Herman to Beat
 Joe Cans.

McGraw and the rest of the Giants Dy the way. expect to get little coin for spending money down south by backing Kid Herman to beat Cans. About every ball player in the country will have little bet on Herman, and the Kid himself hopes to retrieve the losses he suffered as q result of the worlds championship baseball series in Chicago. Herman as well as being pretty nifty boxer is baseball player of no mean abil- lty. Ill the summer when boxing matches are scarce Herman puts in considerable time on the baseball diamond. For tEe past couple of years Herman has been great fa- yorite with the Chicago National lea que players, and in the morning the Kid always turned out to practice with the Cubs.
 Hundreds of photographs of the National league pennant winners, as well as souvenir post cards of the team, showing Herman sitting in the bottom row with the members of Chances team.
 Naturally, when the Cubs were cieuning up all or the National league teams in rapid succession. Herman thought they were lead pipe cinch to win the worlds championship se- ries against the Sox Figuring along this line. Herman took all the bets pushed his way and gave liberal odds on his west side friends. When the smoke cleared away. and after the heat of the championship excitement, Herman was several hundred dollars out.
 All this has not daunted the sport ing blood of Kid Herman and the Ghetto fighter really believes he has a chance to win against Champion Joe Cans, Herman has told McGraw that he was going to risk fair share of his end of the receipts on the re- suits, providing he can get good price.

WILL FIGHT TONIGHT.

Eddie Kelly. the Buffalo newsboy boxer, Is in fine trim for his coming bout with Tommy O'Toole. of Rich mond. which is scheduled for tonight at the National A. C.. in Philadel- phia.

RESULTS OF STORM
FORCES or MEN WORKING ON THE !
 STREETS.
Great volunes of wnter Tested New Sewers Built by the City Cove ernment---Washouts in
 gsshrrfsa.

Many reports of the destructive ef-
 fects of saturday nights heavy rains
 on Montgomery's streets yesterday
 reached the offices of Mayor Teague
 and City Engineer Gilchrist. The dam
 age, however, was not nearly so great
 as was at first expected. There were
 numerous complaints of slight wash
 outs but only few of them were or any magnitude.
 Early yesterday morning. the City
 Engineer put his forces to repairing all damaged places. Repairs were made on the South Court Street road where q bridge was washed away and worknen were placed on the iargs washout on the upper Wetumpka road just east of the cemetery. force of men was also sent to the New Ex-
 change Hotel to repair the storm sew
 CT whose bursting Saturday night caused the tnundation of the hotel basement.
 From q thorough investigation of the Exchange Hotel pipes 1t was shown that the flood was caused by the burst | ing of the large brick storm sewer | running under the Commerce Street sidewalk. In excavating for the base ment of the hotel, much soil had been taken from around the sewer and an |. insufficient wall had been built which lit was supposed, would be strons
 enough to support the sewer. How ever, the wall gave way and the sewer collapsed under the heavy pressure ol the great volume of water wate; main burst but 1t was the water from the storm sewer that inundated the basement.
 The rainstorm of Saturday night ar | forded ample test of several storm wa ter sewers that have recently been built in the outlying districts of Mon[ gonery. All of them were found 10 be equal to the emergency and the City Engineer was especially gratifed to nnd that the South Decatur Street sew er carried or the water perfectly This sewer was the first one construct. ed of concrete in Montgomery and there were many who doubted it's ein- clency. nConcretc sewers are new things m Montgomery," said City Engineer Gil christ. If constructed right they beat any other sort of sewer and cost about
 half as much as brick sewer, but 1T , they are not built exactly correct, they make the worst sewer. IL has been gratifying to find the Decatur Street sewer perfect
