Manager Rowland of the White
Sox is not planning any cuts in his
roster before the club leaves for
Mineral Wells, Tex. Thirty-fiVe ath-
let's at least will be caTted along, and
some young pitchers may be picked
up to give the batters practice dur
ing the early days of camp, when
the arms Of the regular boxmen are
not loOsened up
Any of the regular pitchers who
are ambitious enough to go south
ahead Of the main squad will have
their wish granted. Last spring Joe
Benz and Jim Scott headed the
flight. Both>were in good condition
when the rest of the club arrived,
but Benz was later taken sick and
Scott was suspended during the sea-
son for failure to keep in condition.
Early work is good for the pitch
ers, however, and it is probable two
or three will take advantage of the
Rowland offer and be in shape for
a fast start.
Frank Pershing, University of Chi

HERMAN DEFEATS WILLIAMS.
.. FOR BANTAM TITLE
By Mark Shields

by NldIH OIliSluS
At last a boxing championship has
changed hands in real battle.
= Pete Herman, New Orleans whirl-
wind, became bantam king in his
own town last night by defeating Kid
Williams of Baltimore in vicious
battle of 20 rounds. Referee Recap
awarded nine rounds to the chalen-
ger, eight to Williams and declared
three were even.
Herman fIoored the champion
twice and probably would have won
by a knockout had he been more
daring and experienced. In the fifth
round he knocked Williams down
and had victory in sight right there.
But he played safe, allowed the Bal
timorean to recover and stall until
he recuperated, and a golden chance
slipped away.
There was no question of Her.
mans victory, even though it was by
a. decision. Williams was not the
caveman of old. He hit Herman fire.
auently and with blows that were
flush to vulnerable points, but the
southerner shook them of and came
boring in. The little men fought.
They punched and rushed each other
around the ring with the abandon
of pork and bean scrappers.
Fred Fulton, Rochester, Mimi,
giant, made a long stride toward a
meeting with Jess Willard by knock
ing Tom Cowler cold in one round
in New York last night. Fulton first
sent the Englishman down with a
vicious left, then completed the work
with another blow of the same va
riety Immediately his opponent wab-
bled to his feet.
In the short time the battle last
ed Fulton made an impressive show
ing. He boxed carefully, easily took
all the blows Cowler was able to land
