The paperweight championship Is
in dispute and Kid Herman's mana
ger comes to the front with claim
for his little boxer in the following
communication:
J. p. N:
In reading an article In your sport
Topics of the Hour" about Young
Terelia wanting to fight Young Farese
for the paperweight championship or
New Jersey, we wish to say Young
Herman Is the paperweight champion.
He beat Banty Lewis and Charley
Weinert for that title at MeGulgan
Club in Harrison in one night. NC
Guigan first matched him with Wei
merit. Herman stopped him In Two
rounds. Michigan refereeing the
bout. stopped it to save Weinert.
Herman then went on with Banty
and whipped him in six rounds. me
bout was supposed to go six ROUNDS
and it did So Herman won and was
the paperwelght champion. Weinert
is now o heavyweight and he may say
Herman didn't stop him, but you
know McGuigan is still in Harrison,
and he will tell you.
Herman boxes Babe Angert ten
rounds at Browns two weeks from
last Saturday night Herman always
made 1916 pounds for all the boys anu
can do it yet, although all the boys

weight, among them being Murray
Allen, Irish Mahon. Banty Lewis,
Charley Weinert and Young DUBOIS.
I hope some of those paperWeishts
who want to fight him will call up
Browns gym. They can easily De
matched with Herman, or they can
call up the Happy HANDLERS Clup,
4345M Market, or write to the club, 5V
Charlton street, Newark. Hoping you
will put this in your sporting column,
and thanking you very mucn, re-
main, HAIKU 49,
Manager of Young Herman.
AS a paperweight, Banty Lewis was
very good, and, besides. no decisions
were given at McGuigan's. We1nert
also boxed as q lite fellow at NC
Guigan's. Herman must be some
wonder. and 1t is time he was turned
loose. Perhaps Tommy Andreach
might be resurrected for a bout with
Herman.

But we will not dispute their claim,
for fear, perhaps, these two, OF all

American. AS IS. o. & Co." are well
able to tell their own story, their let

going to be an interesting one, and
it will be worth while to read the

We have from good information
that Verri, the Italian sprinter, will
probably ride at the Velodrome early
in September, and he is engaged to
ride in the next New York siX-day

next year Milan, Italy, will have q

r ders and on the cycling game
S. o. & co.
Moretti and Perchicot don't figure
to beat Kramer, but you never can
tell. The champion may have an off
day and he may get all the worst OF
the breaks. He has great speed, but
he hasn't developed a motor as yet,
although the foreigners swear Kra-
mer isn't human. As to Verri. he
isn't likely to come over here for the
sporting season. We join IN with the
welcome to the returning men of the
cycling game.
