KID WILLIAMS DUE
TO FIGHT HERMAN,
OF PEKIN, HERE
Bantamweight Champion Is
Engaged September 2S, at
the Olympia, and Later
Will Fight Another Boy.

According to a statement of Sammy
Harris. diminutive manager of Kid Will
liams, the worlds bantamweight cham
plon, the titleholder will delight Phladel-
pha audiences at least twice this season,
as the Baltimore fighter Is scheduled to
battle kid Herman, of Pekin, ILL.,, at the
Olympia Athletic Association, September
2S. Herman is well-known in the East,
where he has fought well. lie beat
Louisiana, as the fight fans will probably
remember.
Williams is to fight some other good
boy after the September 2S engagement
but who his opponent will be has not
been determined Harris and Williams
will leave Philadelphia tonight.
Before house which was crowded to
the doors with fans, Kid Williams of
Baltimore, bantamweight champion of the
world, defeated Louisiana, of this city,
in every one of the six rounds, at the
Olympia Club last night. 1t was a slow
contest.
Both men weighed in under 1l6 pounds
at 10 o'clock, stepping on the scales at
the ringside in the presence of the spec
tators. Williams started off like mad and
after a minute of the first round had
elapsed he clipped Louisiana on the jaw
and sent the latter TO his knees.
Williams was the aggressor in the
second and third rounds, and had
Louisiana holding. In the third Louisiana
met Williams as the latter rushed, and
staggered the champion with hard right,
but Williams countered with rights and
lefts and both were fighting like wild
mon at the bell. The fourth and fifth
sessions were all Williams, as was the
sixth, all but a few moments at the start.
when Louisiana made n rally and had
Williams retrcating. but It was 1ly n
flash and Louisiana was soon lding
again. Both finished strong.
In the preliminaries Joe Kuntz. of Port
Richmond, beat frankie Sparks. of South
wark, in six rounds; Eddie Wagond of
Southwark, and Danny Murphy, OF the
18th Ward, drew. and Leo Vincent had
the better of Al Nash and in the semi
wind-up Jimmy Murray, of New York,
who boxes a la Terry McGovern, always
willing and boring in, was outpointcd by
Young DiGGins. after as lively a setto
as has been seen in a long time.

DTSSTON Is SOLE
PENN SURVIVOR IN
TENNIS TOURNEY
Three Other u. of P. Men
Eliminated in the Prelimin-
ary Collegiate Matches
Held at Merton c. c.

MERlON CRICKET CLUB, Haverford
Pa, Sept. l5-With nine colleges repre-
sented in the intercollegiate tennis cham
pionship tournament in progress here on
the Merton Cricket Club turf courts there
was plenty of excitement when the pre-
liminary matches were started shortly
before noCn today. with the result that
three of the four University of Pennsyl-
Yana tennis players were eliminated, the
sole survivor being Jack Disstou the
Philadelphia Cricket club youth who
won from Doyle. Dartmouth, in u thrill
ing three-set match.
This was a disappointment to Red and
Blue followers but not entirely uueX-
pectcd, for Joe Rowland, Jr.. had the
national tennis champion. Richard y.
Williams, I'd, as his opponent. The in
tercollCgiate champion advanced, but
Rowland made a great showing. winning
three games in the first set and two in
the second, Replosle, another Penn vet
eran suCcumhCd to the pruwesS of Ball,
Yale, in two sets. The third Penn man
to fall by the waysde was Captain AL
bert Il. kennedy, of the Merton Cricket
Club.
Kennedy lost his preliminary round
match with l.. Nandcvander, the Prince
ton star. who never played better tennis.
The match was interesting and many
pretty shots were exchanged, the Prince
ton representative winning the first SGT
with the loss OF only one game and the
second set with the less Of three games.
Disstun's solitary win for Penn was tn
only bright spot from a local standpoint.
He had to play at the top of his game
every minute of the time to perform the
feat.
The first set was won by Disston,
to =. The second set showed the Penn
man losing ground ard he dropped the
match games to 3. Then he raj
lied and by some pretty tennis and brill
liant work at the net. pulled out the de-
Gliding set games to 3. which car
ried with it the match. BY his victory
Disston qualified to meet J. 5. Brown. OF
Harvard. who advanced to the first
round by the default of Benton Cornell
Another hotly contested match was
played between a. NJ. hidder, Princeton
and Cady, Amherst. in the preliminary
session. kidder who has been playing
tournament tennis all over the East and
Middle West. was forced to extend him
self to win. the match lasting the long
est of any of the eight preliminary fix
lures on the program. The first set
went to the Princeton man, 10, the Sec
ond was won by Cady. 81, and the third
found the Amherst player playing er-
ratio tennis kidder winning, b.. and

ter Seventeen | lines.

In the season of 1918 Walter Johnson
was credited with the loss of five games.
with nearly another month to go before
the 1914 campaign closes. the speed king
has dropped Il contests. Has johnson
lost his speed? Has he lost the art of
putting the jump on the ball? The play
ers say not. What then is the matter?
Control and a deadly fear Of killing a
batsman
Any man with Johnsons control can
prevent hitting batsman If he chooses.
Johnson does choose, and what is more
to the point, the batters know 1t. 1t was
during the early stages Of the present
race that the first stories OF Johnson's
fear OF hitting batters were published.
These articles. printed by practically
every newspaper In the country contained
the statement OF the Washington hurler
that he would quit baseball forever If he
should kill man with pitched ball
This. naturally, gave the batters con-
fidence. for there is no doubt that John
extent to the fact that the would-be
hitters pulled away from the plate. and
in so doing lost their toe hold, As i; We're.
Now the majority Of batters in the
American League know that johnson is
not goius to attempt to use the beam
ball'' on them, and Furthermore, that his
control is SO wonderful that the chances
for being hit are small.
That this fear Of being hit is a matter
which affects batters to very large eX-
ten, is shown time and again, especially
in the early spring. Let a manager send
in a vounEster who has a fair amount Of
speed but who possesses the usual Wild
ness Of the unframed performer, A
major league CLUB will be held to mini
mum number Of hits by such a pitcher
It is for this same reason that many of
the pitchers in both the American and
National leagues use the "heau-ball."
