Champ Almost Ruins I'm
knockout Streak against
p. Johnson, Who Hits the
Floor TtUice
O'KEEFE PUT AWAY
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE

.DETEY HERMAN'S knockout record
4 in Philadelphia since his debut here
against Louie Tender, February 2S,
1915, is still intact. Not single X. O.
has been scored in local competition by
the New Orleans boxer, not as mere
contender for the title when the crown
scintillated from the blond bean of
KidGo Williams, nor since anneXing said
laurels, January 9. 1917. But Herman
doesn't have to be knockerout in order
to prove he is a real champion.
Last night at the Olympia it looked
as If Herman was doomed to ruin his
perfectly clean unknockout record. Be-
ginning with the very first round Her
man shook up Jumping Johnson, whose
first name is Patsy and who halls from
Trenton. From then until the final
vibration of the gong johnson appeared
to be on the verge of a slumber journey
But when the six rounds had progressed
Johnson was still hopping, and hopping
strongly.
Only eighteen seconds were wasted
during the eighteen minutes of action,
johnson resting on the mat for two
nine second counts. For the other seven
teen minutes and forty two seconds
Herman walloped Patsy viciously with
rights and lefts to head and body,
outcassing the Trenton lad throughout.
johnson first Topped in the third
round. He started to hit the mat before
right cross had caromed off his chin,
one of Herman's left hooks to the
stomach really being the knockdown
wallop. 1t didn't look as if Johnson
was going to get up, but he did. After
taking the full count, less one stroke
of Referee Grimson's trusty right arm,
Patsy bounded from the canvas, and
put on his bouncing act. The bell rang
before Pete could get off another right
handler.
In the fourth frame Herman right
cross grazed Johnson's chin. Patsy
went down. He rolled over on his stom-
ach, winked at his seconds, rolled over
on his back and at ''nine" bounded to
his feet. Again Johnson fared up,
Evening public ledger. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1914-1942, 1919-12-02

rushed at Petey, and swung with botf
hands, but the best Pat could do wal
amputate the atmosphere or pound
away on the titleholder's gloves.
The fifth and sixth rounds were repe-
titions of the first and second with
Herman slamming. socking, rocking
and slashing johnson with both mitts.
But Johnson was among those present
when the terminating tingle of the
gong sounded, and once more Herman
proved that he can win bouts without
curing the other fellow of insomnia.
Father Time and Hughe Hutchin-
son, local blooming bantam, scored
technical Knockout over Eddie O'Keef,
in the third bout. "Booboo" saved the
veteran bantam from being counted OUT
by tossing sponge into the ring, and
Scoodles made it unanimous by hurlina
in towel. Hutchinson had O'Keefe on
the ropes pelting away at Eds head
and body with terrific punches--rights
and lefts. O'keefe was virtually out
on his feet at the end of the third
round, giving an excellent imitation ~
a July 1 Saturday night celebration
as he struggled to his corner.
Young Socco, n la a fighting son OF
sea cook, peppered pelted, punched
and pounded Young Robideau in six
session slugfest. Socco outfought Robby
and also outboxed him. Robdeau TODAY
is wearing n couple of souvenirs of this
encounter, same being a pair of damaged
eyes
After Tommy Ketchel had decorated
the floor on five different and distinct
occasions in his bout with Walter John
son Lou Crimson decided that every one
had seen as much of the bout as they
wanted, and that Ketch had all he
wanted. So he stopped the elevator en-
counter in the third round.

ConShohocBen and Phoe-

annual Clash Next Sat
Wrday at NorristouUn
BY SPICK HALL
UVOU talk about rivalry in the

"VoU talk about rivalry in the big
college triangle-Yale, Harvard
ard Princeton, well you never saw any
rivalry if you haven't seen Consho
hocken and Phoenixvillc play their an
nual football game. Why. those birds 20
nI each other, tooth, toenail and cleat.
Inc way those linemen batter each other
up reminds you of the days when the
young Roman Adonises, or whatever
they were, patted the red Drawn of
Hpartacus and his giadiatorial athletes
and bet their sesterces on the skill and
strength of those hired human butch
ers."
Thus eloquently and historically did
Bert AeabSley, COnshohocken halfback
and son of many alma matters, depict
the gridiron reel that will be displayed
at popular prices next Saturday after
noon in the high school yard at Norris
town.
Conshohocken and Phoenixville have
not met since prewar days. Their
last contest was in 1916. Saturday
they will meet again, each bent on set
Ting old scores. The rivalry of which
Bert speaks has existed in malignant
form for fifteen years. Although the
Conshohocken eleven has borne that
name for only five seasons. that organi-
zation was preceded by the old Reliance
team that formerly battled annually
with the Union Club, of Phoenixville.
Both of these teams have been look
ing forward to this game Saturday
all season and to a certain extent have
been preparing for it for weeks. This
means that when the whistle blows
iii Norristown at 2 80 p. M, Saturday,
both elevens will be in the pink of
physical perfection. Both will be
ready to put up fight that will be
worth going all the way from Sixty
ninth street on the P. & W. to see,
and there vii be many to go from
here.
Thousands of fans who are interested
in independent football have been kept
away from the games this year be-
cause of the conflict with the trays at
Franklin Field, but now that the Red
and Blue has played its last 1919 con
test, many of these fans will journey
to Norristown for the game Saturday.
1t is difficult to get a line on the
| comparative strength of ConshohOcken
and Phoenixville because their scIed =
ules did not include a common foe.

JOE LYNCH WINS
 DECISION OVER NOBLE

London Feb. 3.-Joe Lynch, ban tamweight of New York, beat Tommy Noble, the British bantamweight, on points in twenty fast rounds today.
 The American bantam fought losing battle during the first nine rounds when he seemed to lack all knowledge of distance and fell easy prey to Noble's straight left, which was his best offensive weapon. In the tenth round Lynch got over sev- eral good punches, including a left hook, and Noble apparently was in trouble at the end of the round.
 Lynch carried off the honors in every round after that, but gained the twelfth round only by a shade. In the subsequent rounds, the referee re- peatedly cautioned Noble for hanging on and holding. In each Of the last four rounds the American was on to Noble almost before the Britishel was out of. his chair. Lynch had much the best of the infighting in the last half of the fight, doing telling damage to Noble's mid-seCtion.
 When they weighed in before the fight Lynch was under 120 pounds, the 1 stipulated weight. Noble refused to be weighed and lost the forfeit which he had posted.

Pat Moran is feet 1o1s inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. That would be enough to successfully deal with the certain loud, uncouth and abusive gents to be found in the bleache-s, also the pavilion and grand stand, pro- vided they could be induced to cross the barrier between themselves and the field, and the existence of which breeds their boldness. Some of the most courageous gents ever seen are to be found in the upper part of the hind most rows of Cincinnati grand stand.

 George Washington Grant (get the first name) has bought the Boston Braves. John McGraw introduced him to the previous owners just as he in troduced Charles A. Stoneham to the owners of the Giants.
