PETE HERMAN WANTS
TO MEET WILDE WITH
AN AMERICAN REFEREE.


6antamwelpht Champion Pete
Herman declares that he is anxious
to accept the challenge Issued by
Jimmy Wilde, the flyWeleht cham
pion of England, but will insist upon
an American referee, According to
Herman's manager, Sam Goldman,
the bantam champion Of the world
has no fear Of Wilde, but he does
not agree with the system OF Iudo-
ing points in use In England.
Goldman points out that Amerl-
can boxers seldom are able to win
the decision In English rings when
opposed by English boxers. In bouts
between representatives of the two
countries American boxers have
scored many knockout victories,
but it was seldom that an English
referee could be Induced to decide
In their favor when the contest
went the limit.
The criticism of the decision In
the recent Lynch.Whlte bout has
led Goldman to take the stand that
II the battle Is held In England It
must be judged by an American &C
cordlne to the methods employed In
this country.
