PETE HERMAN'S PLANT.

Pete Herman, who wears the crown
as king of the bantams, but whose num-
Der has been annexed by Pal Moore,
Kid Wolfe and other top-notch ban
tams, is telling the newspaper boys
around New Orleans that he had a set
up in his bout with Pal Moore here a
few nights ago. Herman tells them that
he won easily and polished off the
Memphian so easy that 1t was a shame
l IL f. +: { n a Thousand thousand ', % IL. boy, .,1 for ", do do.
5000 fans who witnessed the mill that
Herman Is misstating the facts, for
anybody who can tell a boxing glove
from a bottle of smelling salts knew
that Moore battered the alleged bantam
champion all over the. arena and hit him
fully five punches to one In every round.
Moore was so far out of Herman's class
that the crowd was disappointed in that
1t was such a one-slded affair. They
had been laboring under the delusion
that Herman was a real champion and
that he would give Moore a good stiff
battle in every round.
But at no time during the mill did
Herman show anything that would lead
anyone to suspect that he was at the
head of the bantam procession. Any
fight fan who went in without knowing
the principals would never have
dreamed that Moore,s opponent was the
crowned king of all the midget bat
tiers. Moore toyed with the ~camouflage
champion as II he had been some dub
just breaking into the mitt game, and
his margin was so wide, his edge over
Herman was SO apparent, that there
could be no installing the winner even
by the most uneducated spectator.
Herman took a great beating from
Moore. He was shown up worse than
any other champion ever was not to be
knocked out. Herman's ale of beating
Moore in their Memphis tussle will not
hold water, for Herman vas on the
wrong end of the margin, and he knows
1t as well or better than any spectator
at the ringside.
Ollie Chill Is the newest American
league umpire, but he goes into the
Johnson league listed as a hot PROPOSE
ton for rumpus loving ball players.
Saw a woman with one Of those new
tangled skirts On trying to debark from
a street car yesterday. She took one
step and went out on her nose.
Which, is another argument against
the said skirts. But II she sues the
company, which she'll undoubtedly do,
n gets a good flock of iron men,
watch the sale of said skirts boom.
