Down at Camp Travis, Budd Good

plan to further popularize boxing

ton of Brig, Gen. Ryan, Mr.. Goodwin

Pete Herman, the bantamWeIght
king, is at last aroused. The clever IT.
tie Hebrew wants Pal Moore, the crack
Memphis bantam, and wants him bad.
It has gotten under Pete's skin about
Pal having been chosen to make the
King, and Pete Is anxious to prove to
the flstic world that he ls the one
rightfuIly entitled to the trip overseas
to battle for the kings trophy. Ac-
cordingly, Peter has sent a challenge
to Moore TO meet him In New orleans
on the evening Of Nov. II during the
sport carnival week, upon which occa.
sion the bantamwelght argument could
be definitely settled.
Herman has long beer wanting to
meet Pal, but says he does not like
PATS style Of milling, which is easy to
understand, for Pal has a way about
him of making innumerable aspiring
bantams develop a dislike for his style.
Herman says he Is now anxious to
meet Pal, and that he is anxlousIy
awaiting a message from Moore to
the effect that he will meet him.
From. this angle it seems that this
challenge on Herman's part Is mere
~eamoufIaee, for Herman has had many
chances to meet Moore before and
been named to go to England and has
already arrived at a port of embarka-
ton, It is easy to understand that he
could not leave ihe port OF embarka-
ton to fight Herman or anybody else,
for his sailing date Is likely to be any
time. Herman is fully eognIzant Of
this fact, and II lie not out of the
range of probability that he was think
ing Of this when he issued his chaI.
lenge. Pal can not get away now te
&c. to New Orleans, for he and the
