HERMAN TOO HEAVY.

Pete Herman. who wears the crown
Of the bantamweight champion of the
world, is considerably overweight and
would have a tough time making the
stipulated 100 pounds that Pal Moore
requires when he meets the ~title-holder,
Herman is fast ~outgrowing the ranks
Of the bantams and would be seriously
handicapped il he made 100 pounds.
Pal, being a legitimate bantam and
scaling around 117-1S pounds, very nat
urally desires that his opponent shall
make the bantam weight, and unless
the chances are small that Pal and
Pete will swap punches in a padded
circle any time soon.
You notice the New Orleans papers
are saying hat l am demanding 1900
to meet Herman and are saying moth
ing about Pete making the necessary
weight said Pal today. He can't
make the stipulated weight, and if he
could and would get in the ring the
bout would draw sufficiently to give
me what l am rightfully entitled to
and what l am going to have II / go
to New Orleans, Pete's home town, and
fight him.
Herman, But | think l am entitled
to 1900 to meet him. I got 1900 for
meeting Dick Loadman in Buffalo. Why
shouldn't | get 81, 500 to meet the ban
tam champion If they want my services
at that figure and Pete will make 100
pounds, I'm ready TO sign up at any
time, but ! am not going to fight for
merely to meet Pete. I am not wor-
ried over getting bouts, as l have so
many offers that ! could fight every
night if ! wanted to,
I'm ready for Pete for $500 and
him making 100 pounds" concluded Pal.
