PETE HERMAN

Bantam Weight Took Bout From
Dutch Brandt by Marrow Mar

IBY H. C. HAMILTON
limited Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March 14.-Another
dancing, cautious, reserved fighter
nung up his hat and coat and settled
down in our midst today along with
Freddie Welsh. His name is Pete
Herman. He claims the bantam
weight championship and he declares
he proved it by whipping Dutcn
Brandt.
Pete did whip Dutch Brandt and
he showed the Broadway Sporting
club crowd that he can fight when
he feels like it, but he earned shade
over the rugged New York bantam by
the narrowestt of margins, following
sfam-bang AFFAIR between George
{"K. orr Brown of Chicago and Gus
Christie of Milwaukee.
Christie whipped Brown, but there
was as much difference between the
two scraps as there was between the
weights of Brown and Christis and
their tiny partners on the bill.
Brandt was willing, forcing the
scrap from one gong to another.
while Herman was content to cover
and stay covered except at various
moments. Brandt caught the southern
bantam once flush on the chin and
sent him Keeling into the ropes. but
, Herman quickly recovered.
Herman uncovered rapid IRE at
tack on the mid-section of his oppo-
nent that probably explains how he
managed 20 win a decision over Kid
Williams in a long bout. 1t is his
| only claim to championship displayed
there.

Then came details that were not

two nights later that she went to her

seized both her hands was:

Would she raise the cash or take the
consequences? She would be granted
three days grace, and then she was to
meet the dancing master at certain
spot at a certain hour and let him
know her decision.

Miss Florence promptly tainted
away, or was going to when her moth
er asked her who the letter was from.
She therefore decided to lie instead of
faint. Her first feeling after mastering
the contents OF the letter was one OF
rity for the professor. He was think
ing Of blowing his head off! Her next
feeling was of herself. She could no
more raise 5000 than she could raise
$2,000,O00. Had she. asked her father
for IS cents he would have wanted an
explanation rod long.
P9br Misc Florence cried all one
night and got up in the morning to lie
sgain. She said it was the toothache.
She had gone back to bed to cry again
when - she didn't cry. A sudden
thought made her sit up. What sort
of man was Professor Revillion to
leave a girl to face such a situation
alone? He must have a clew to the
thief, as he said he had received let
ter, but he had not added that he had
set the law at work He had dia-
mond ring and diamond pin worth
together far more than the $500, but
he had not said anything of selling
them to get her letters back.

she was saying:

ing much time over the question. Love
and romance had been scared away,
and common sense had taken their
Ilace.
"Why. he wants to hold those letters
over me to extort money!" was her ex.
olamation.
If there had been no robbery-if tho
professor had the letters-if he meant
e1tortion, then he had a great advan.
tage and meant to use 1t. What could
be done to stop him?
