that 0ne-thlrd OF those who entered
the Amerlcanization night schools

Former Champions Record
Presaged His Defeat by Ban
tam of Real Ability.
by cHARLEs r. MArHIsON.

The downfall OF Pete Herman. whose
championship status has been under sus-
piclon for three years. was not a sur
prise to the writer. Herman's acquire
ment of the title under conditions that
were unfair 10 Kid Williams. coupled
with the fact that the new title holder
defended his honors but once In three
years against an opponent of class, con-
yinced students of boxing that the New
Orleans man was an inferior boxer and
would be taken into camp the first time
he met a man of ability In long bout
to decision.
Lynch. while heady. capable boxer.
and hitter Of considerable force. does
not compare favorably with bantams
like Dixon. Barry, McGovern or Will
liams when the Baltimorean was In his
prime. Yet Lynch defeated Herman at
time when the Crescent City boy was
at the top of his form.
Herman's record was proof positive
that he was not dangerous hitter. his
knockouts being few and far between.
Doubtless had he been so inclined ne
could have stopped many OF the third
raters he met in decisionless bouts, but
he was content to save himself trouble
and danger of hurting his hand. and Let
his opponents remain the limit.
In his bouts with men like Williams,
Burns and Lynch, Herman never even
scored knockdown, and in his contest
with Lynch last Wednesday night the
Southerner proved that he could not
fight at top speed for more than q Few
rounds He never made an aggressive
move till the tenth. and his combative-
ness fiickered early in the eleventh.
