FRENZIED MANAGER
DEPOSES HERMAN
Wild Rumor Causes Lynch's
Handler to Claim Crown.
They Box Tonight
JUNE 13 FORFEITS UP

Hello Hello! EVENING LEDGER? Well
this is Scotty Monteith. Nobody can put
anything over on me. Joe Lynch is the
bantam champion, by default. l mean IT,
That guy, Herman, was to box Lynch here
tonight and he's jumped the match. "-Ex-
cerpt of string Of conversation over the
long distance from New York this morning
However, when excited Mr.. Monteith was
informed that Pete Herman had entrained
from here for New York at Il a. m. Scotty
continued, Glad he is Thanks for the
info. II was rumored around town that
Herman was not coming over. Lynch will
win the title anyway. for he's all primed
to pull a Benny Leonard"
Herman's match with Lynch in Gotham
tonight will be his final until he answers
the gong at the Olympia here next Wednes-
day night. against the man he dethroned
Kiddo Williams.
Before leaving for New York Herman
made two other important visits.
The bantam king first went to the office
of the Registration Commissioners. and
later appeared at the Sports Department of
the EVENING LEDGER.
At City Hall, accompanied by his man
ager, Jerome Gargano, he registered under
the conscripton act as Peter Gulatta,
announced that he was ready IL needed, and
when given chance to answer question No.
9 stated that no FEWER than six persons
looked to him for their sole support. These
are his mother and father, three nieces and
a nephew. He did not include his manager,
Gargano, although the latter does figure
in his purses.
While visiting the work shop OF the
EVENING LEDGER the little champion and
his manager posted a $500 check as a
forfeit for appearance at Olympia June 13
for weight of not more than llS pounds for
the match with Williams. Williams has also
placed a check for like amount with the
Sports Editor, who will be present and
supervise the Weighing in. If either boxer
weighs even a fraction more than the lis
scale the other has the privilege of calling
off the bout and pocketng the forfeit.
Jack McGuigan has signed up new
performer for his windup Saturday night.
He grabbed Battling Kopin from upstate
and pitted him against Billy Kramer in
the star bout of the evening. Kopin comes
here with a good record and Is said to have
popular decisions over Jack Britton and
other stars He also sent X. o. Loughlin
down twice for the count of nine which
shows that he possesses a punch. Kramer
is a clever, fashy boxer, and always puts
up a good fight, 1t should be an interest
ing bout
