SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. al
When the city of San Francisco
desires to spend a couple of mil
lion dollars for various purposes
John Herget, former middle
weight champion of the Pacific
coast and at one time virtually
champion middleweight of the
world, passes on the purchase.
The sport world of the late
eighties and early nineties knew
John Herget as Young Mitchell"
He is now rated as a wealthy man
and high in the politics of San
Francisco. Herget served as sup
ervisor for one term. His official
title at present is Inspector of
Supplies for the board of super
visors of San Francisco county.
To this man who fought him
self up in a class with Jack Demp-
sey is given the job of seeing that
San Francisco does not get cheat
ed when public money is appro-
priated. Agents of big mercantile
and supply houses court John
Herget. His word is powerful
with the supervisors whose conf
Dental agent he is.
Present day fans may not real
lie that Herget is regarded by
some of the old-timers as the
greatest all around ring man of
the many which California has
contributed.
Sentiment figured in failure of
matchmakers to bring about a
battle between Jack Dempsey, the
great "Non-Pareil," and Young
Dempsey had taken a
fancy to the latter and made him
a protege. AS Mitchell became
more and more famous the fans
began talking of a match between
the two.
Mitchell wouldn't enter the ring
with Dempsey, not at all through
