tion OF cleverness on the part Of Hermann
and Of decisivonoss on the part OF Herrera.
With the disadvantages in height,

fought with splendid genernlship and
clevtrness. From the hrst 10 the 18th
round Hermann had lead on points

the hardest punch, tried hard 70 land his
knockout, but did not land il squarely
during the entire fight. He staggered
Hermann several times by hitting him
on the back OF the neck and head, but
the clever duclcing and quick recovery
Of the Chicago lad saved him from serious
harm.
After the 10th round, Hermann gave
his attention TO Herrem's face and head,
using a stiff left jab, that found its mark
on Herrera's face many times. As long aa
he boxed with Herrera and kept him from
setting himself for a blow, Hermann had
the advantage but in the exchanges Her
