BOXING NOTES
fFrorn T. S. Andrews )

Frank Calvin, the New York boxing irnpressario, who looks after the well fare Of Kid Herman, the Pekin, H.. bantamwefght, IS very mulch peeved because Kid Williams. the Ba1timore bantam and Johnny Coulon, the cham pfon. insist upon avoiding the young 'ster. Herman has been meeting all the banta1ns of the east for the past year and his record is certainly high class one. The other night in Philadelphia he all but knocked out Freddie Diggins, a very promising been chaIlenging Williams for some tffne but the latter has not accepted match and Frank claims that it is only because he is afraid of losing chance at the bantannweis sht title Why not arrange a match for Herman with the winner Of the CouIon- Will Hams contest, which is billed for Los Angeles next month"; That would be following with another championship contest in quick order and the winner could then be matched up with the European champion. Charley Ledoux of France. #

  it is hard to believe even now at the match is really on The National Sporting club of London, first tried to get it, but the price was too high and then Dick Burge, who runs a hig club in London, got a syndicate to back him and put up a purse Of $25,- GOO The division of the purse has not been agreed upon as yet, but the chances are that the Frenchman will get the long end of it, for he is t he card over here, the same SIS Ritchie is in the states. Carpenters splendid showing against skillful boxer like Joe Jeanette, has made him prime favorite and the followers over there will go broke on his chances against the Gunboat man. There is no doubr that Carpenter is the best heavy weight in Europe, even though he scales only ,d70 pounds His work has been of the sensational kind and if he can defeat Smith there would be no holding the Frenchnaan back I as far as boxing is concerned.
