Young Herman Miller, tho Baltimore
middlewcight. hopes to climb to the top
over the PROSTATE form of Knockout
Bremen, the Buffalo sluggcr. Learn
ing that Erennen Is matched with
Shadow Ahearn, European middleweiyht
champion. for q ten-round bout in New
York on January 28. Miller expressed
his satisfaction at the opportunity to
be the man to 20 up against Ahearn in
nized as one Of the strongest contend
ers for the worlds championship, and
q victory over Bremen might make
1t possible for the Baltimore youth to
substitute In the New York match.
Bremen. accompanied by his man
ager. Allie Smith. landed in the Capi-
tai shortly before noon and lost no
time In making the rounds. They had
little to say. though. about tonights big
contest for the middleweight champion
ship of the South at the new Ardmore
Club.
Il don't say much about battle till
it's over. and l don't have much to
say then, either" smiled the Buffalo
hitsmith. ~ let my manager talk for

a beating and can give it. In that case.

Bremen looks to be q rugged young
man, with a heavy neck on wide should
ers. He Is shorter than Young Herman
Miller, but Just about the same weight.
His reach will compare favorably with
Miller's. At o'clock today both men
are to weight in at 169 pounds. Rigs
Baths have been selected for this cere-
mony, but it Is expected that both
principals will be under that weight.
Many Washington members OF the
Eagles we're disappointed last night IN
the failure Of the Buffalo boy to arrive
here in time to attend the big oyster
roast. but when they learned that he
remained at home in order not to waste
a moments raining. they were free In
their excuses. and Immediately pur-
chased tickets for the show. Bremen
is an Eagle. and had intended coming
here a day early. But when he found
that he was to face Young Herman
Miller instead OF Gunner Selman, he
decided to remain in his gymnasium
just as long as he could.

LOOKING BACK

1s7-Young Erne knocked out Kid
Lavigne in sixth round at Philadel-
phia. This bout was memorable as
marking the end Of the ring career
Of the Saginaw Kid" in his prime
one Of the greatest lightweight
champions the game has ever had.
At the time he met Young Erne.
the French-Canadian lad had been
out OF the ring for more than
year, and time and lack Of training
had reduced him to q mere phan-
tom Of the boy who once lorded II
over the worlds lightweights. After
this pitiful affair I.avigne gave up
all thought OF regaining his lost
laureis. He had made a small for
tune as a boxer. but had saved little,
and he was practically broke when
he retired from the ring. Since
then. according to all accounts. La
vigne has had hard shedding, and has
tried various occupations with little
SUCCESS. The Kids pugilistic career
was practically ended when he lost
the title to Erne in 1899. Later he
was knocked out by George McFad-
den and Jimmy Britt

week, Is willing to talk about every
thing except the baseball war. He
couldn't even be induced to say much
about the Fed trust suit from q law
yer's standpoint. from which he, of
course, Is qualified to speak.
That looks to me like business for
the lawyers, and in the end that will
be a bad thing for the Federals. The
players must have care and live up
to their agreements. or the baseball
public will tire of the whole thing. "
That was HuShey's Offering on the war
topics OF the day.
Asked If he had a chance TO go TO
New York to manage the Highlanders,
Mr.. Jennings said: The opening was
