Pete Herman, bantamweight cham
pion Of the world, the first wearer u.
a universal pugilistic title ever 10
stake his crown in Oklahoma on his
ability as boxer, has arrived in
Tulsa
Clambering from Pullman that
had been sidetracked opposite the
Frisco station since some time during
the night, he got his first sight of the
oil metropolis about 1885 Monday
morning. And the early birds, who
We're passing and who had known he
was expected, recognized him i'm
mediately. Stockily built, broad of
shoulder, short and thick of neck,
one might easily guess even from u
back view that he was a glove-wield
ing athlete. Face to face there Is nv
/ guess work about it,
Worthy Champion.
Herman has the face of a fighter.
Not that his features have been seri-
ously damaged bt the mighty smashes
Of his opponents, tho he carries n few
scars of battle, but the strong jaw,
the flattened nose, the other tacid,
features are unmistakably those or h
boxer. Furthermore his face and his
whole bearing is that which one as
their way thru the ranks and up to
the top. He looks the part of a chaii.
pion.
Apparently the championship, tho
he has possessed il only since last
January, has proved remunerative. on
his left hand he wears a mammoth
diamond, in his tie a large pearl sur
rounded by small diamonds.
To Train ut Brady.
With Herman came Red Walsh, his
manager. While the champion took
life easily the champion manager
was on business bent from the minuun
he set foot in Tulsa. BY noon he nan
investigated all the places in Tulsa
which were available for training
quarters and had decided upon the
sample room at the Brady hotel. In
this large room he Immediately set
ABOUT to arrange for the training of
his protege. A punching bag platform
was put in place and other equipment
installed. Owing to the fact that he
had been travelling for two days anu
nights Herman did not feel like maN-
ing any effort to train yesterday but
1t was announced last night tha, be.
ginning Tuesday he would work out
every afternoon between 2 and j
O'Clock.
Having contracted slight cold Sat-
urudy nlSnt, Nate jackson, who is to
oppose the champion in next Mon-
days fracas wired that he had decl1-
ed to remain in Oklahoma City for
another day. He will arrive some
Tune this morning and expects to glvv
MS first public workout this after
noon.
1t is expected that Jackson will use
the same quarters as Herman, eA-
cept an hour later.
Walsh Has Praise for Nate.
Walsh was unstinted in his praises
OF Jackson and assured Promoter
Nenn that he had made a wise choice
for Herman's opponent.

jackson really is the legitimate con-.
tender for Pete's crown. However,
l am afraid Little Nate is in for a
severe disappointment next Monday

than he was when Nate met him the
last time and Nate Is liable to find
himself In extremely hot water before
