GANS-H HERMAN
MATCH \ JOKE
SMALL LOCAL INTEREST DIS
PLAYED REGARDING BOUT
Herman, from Exhibition in Los An
eeIes, was Not Granted to Have
Show with Clever Negro,
Who Won Easily

Little or no interest was apparent
in Los Angeles yesterday regarding
the Cans Herman battle at TonOpah,
as it was generally accepted that
Herman stood absolutely no chance
with the clever negro, provided Cans
entered the ring in condition and
frame-up was foreign.
Herman's showing in Los Angeles,
while above the average lightweight
was not such as to warrant him a
possibility of defeating the Baltimore
wonder. Abe Attell made Herman
look amateursh at Maud Junction, and
it is not known that Cans is less handy
with the gloves than Attell
From round description it would ap-
pear that Cans played with Herman
Herman could hardly have granted
the proba abilities along honest lines
The Nevada managers probably re-
gret that they ever attempted to stage
such an event and now that it is over
they find themselves many thousand
dollars I'm the hole. Herman did not
lose much by the outcome lie carries
away a good losers share and holds
practically the same position i'm pugil-
ism that he did before. No one ac-
credited him with possessing the SEM
blance Of world beating proclivities
and few are surprised at the result.
Jack O'Brien as usual was on deck
and honored the natives with a short
vocal selection. Jack also adds an
other winner to his picking list, though
without much credit, as the Cans
Herman schedule looked like a joke
from the time of its inception.

STORY OF BATTLE
TOLD BY ROUNDS

Round Herman led for the body,
missed and they went to a clinch. The
men spared and in a clinch Herman
sent his right round the kidneys. Cans
then drove wicked right swing to the
jaw and followed it with a right to the
head, and they went to a clinch. At
close quarters Herman hooked his right
TO the head. Herman missed a left
for the body and quick as a flash Cans
whipped a right and left to the nose,
bringing thin stream of blood from
that organ. Cans swung a terrific right
TO the face and walloped Herman with
right to the ribs. Herman, Just as the
gong sounded, planted his left to the
champions face. The round was Cans,
but Herman smiled in q confident man
ned as he took his seat.
Round 2-Herman covered up and
they worked to close quarters Herman
landing right and left to the body. The
men then mixed it and a furious rally
followed, Herman having the better of
an exchange of body blows. More in
fighting followed, in which both men
displayed great cleVerness, blocking the
others attempts. Herman swung his
right and left hard to the ribs, but
Cans retaliated with two hard rights
to the jaw that forced the Ghetto kid
TO a clinch. Mixing it, Cans drove his
right to the ribs and sent Herman
staggering back with a right to the
neck. AS lIlS SOIB IdllB bdHS MT ilel-

hands with Herman in an apologetic
manner. Not content with this apology
Cans left his seat, walked to Hermans
corner and again shook hands with
his opponent, The round favored Cans
slightly.
Round SHERMAN after a clinch
swung a hard left to the head and they
exchanged right swings TO the face
Cans nearly fioored his man with q
right to the neck. Herman was in
quickly and tried with right and left
for the body, but received a loft to the
face that would have sent him outside

Cans then sent Herman to the flooI
with a left hook over the ribs. Her
man, however, was off his balance and
the blow left no telling effects Cans
had the better of the round, but Her
man showed little signs Of distress.
Round 4-After a clinch Herman
swung a right to the ribs and a left
TO the stomach. They mixed at close
range and Herman netteu Cans with
short-arm rights TO the head. Both
men then missed terrific right swings
and Herman landed a left ON the stom-
ach. Cans planted his right to the
Jaw with great force, and they ex-
changed lefts to the stomach. Herman

Round 5--After half a minutes spar
ring Herman swung a left to the body
followed it with a right to the same
place and then rushed Cans into a
clinch. landing right and left high on
the body. Cans then shot out his
right and it landed on Herman's jaw.
The latter. however. sent the crowd
into paroxyms by driving Cans to the
ropes with a volley OF left and right
swings to the jaw and face. Herman
sent straight left to the face, but
Cans countered with two rights to the
jaw and in a mix that followed Cans
outpointed his man, landing right and
left short-arm blows to the jaw. The
gong ended an even round. Herman's
showing thus far had been very good.
Round 6-Gans cleverly blocked var
ious leads by Herman and peppered
his face and body with rights and lefts
at close range. Both men were very
cool, but Cans face bore a determined
look. Herman was on the aggressive
and received n right hook to the jaw
that sent his head back a foot. Cover
and fall in came the injunction from
Herman'S seconds as Cans. at long
range, drove his right again and again
to the Kids face. Cans almost sent
Herman through the ropes with right
hooks to the jaw. Cans had a big
lead in this round and Herman lost
his iaunty air as he sought his seat.
Round Herman opened the round
with left swings to the ribs, but Cans
more than got even with two rights
and a left to the stomach. Herman
rallied and landed his left and then
a right over the ribs and they went to
clinch Cans forced the fighting and
getting Herman against the ropes
planted right and left to the face.
Herman fought back wildly and as he
closed in Cans met him with a terrific
uppercut to the face that left its mark
over the Hebrews eye. Cans followed
his man 10 a corner and they ex-
changed kidney blows. The bell
changed as the men were sparring. 1t
was Cans round and he looked like the
winner.
Round Scans sent straight left
to the face and Herman retaliated with
a right to the jaw and left to the ribs.
Cans merely shook his head and fol-
lowed his man around the ring, COR
nering him, but failing in attempts to
land. Suddenly Cans shot out his right
squarely to the jaw and Herman
dropped as if hit by board. He made
no attempt to rise. 1t was as clean
a knockout as ever took place in a
ring,

ors Don Hamilton Is working well,
but Will run better after he has a race

The first race at six furlongs is a
very open affair. Bologna is my choice
and although she is a bad actor at the
post, possesses the speed of this bunch
and will be very hard to catch II she
gets an even break. Susie Christian
has lot of early speed, as she showed
the other day and should about get the
second money today. Canopian works
well and his last race was good one.

Gregg and Stoessel have good outside

Airs has the most early speed and is
the quickest breaker of those in the
second race and should lead from bar

this may be the one. Red Garter
found the route too far I'm his last
