 MINNEAPOLIS, NfINN., April g. Pete Herman, who will probably be Jimmy Wilde's next opponent in Lon don, and Johnny Ertle, former ban tamweight champion. fought a. draw last night at the Minneapolis A. A. Both boys appeared to be in the best of condition. The bout. however, was not as fast as it was expected to be, personally don't doubt that he can easily get down to 135 pounds ring side, l don't believe that at that weight Benny can show his best And Judging from accounts of his battle on the Coast, the champion will have to be himself. Ritchie isn't to be jolIied with, although ever the eight round route-twice the distance over which they travelled in Frisco should find Leonard at an advantage.
 By the way, Billy Grupp's down on West 11Sth Street is going to house the flower of American boxing talent. Benny and Ritchie both say they will do their training there. It is also tho training querters of Jack Britton. ,T1hnny Kilbane, Pal Moore, Benny Valger. Frankie Burns of Jer- sey City. Jim Coffey and a lot of other 1sotab bles. No wonder Billy has de- cfded to force all managers to pay their way into the gym

It has been the equality of the teams represented that has induced so many ST orts out nights to witness the sameR The one sad feature, which marred the season. was the sad ex- perience the circuit had in Boston. The season promised 10 go big there but somehow the attendance slumped to such an extent that 1t was deem d advisable 10 shift the cIub-a move that turned the tables for the bet ter.
 Roller polo Is interesting and in our estimation is the best of indoor pas times. IL Is replete with thrills When fought cleanly It Is a wonderful game to look on. It Is the only sport we know of outside of 2 few pas times, considerably somewhat ef- feminate, that can be patronized by
