PETE HERMAN
 WILL CHALLENGE
 JOHNNY KILBANE

New York. Jan 5-Benny Valger, the French featherweight champion, Nho has been wagtng a persistent campaign to force Johnny Kilbane Into match for the worlds cham ptonshfp. will have a rival as chal- zenger of Kilbane. Joe Jacobs, man. ager of the French flash. had about d1stanced all of the other contenders For Ktlbane's crown, but now along comes Pete Herman, holder of the bantamwetght championship, to ha- RAss Kilbane. Herman announced zl New Orleans yesterday that he in- tends to set sail for the Cleveland lad as he 'texpects shortly to become a featherweigat.'
 This announcement will surely get c rise out of Jacobs. Joe starts his man against Young MichaeIs in a 12- round bout to 8 decision in Mechanics Hall, Boston, tomorrow night, but this fact certainly will not deter him from throwing the trusty typewriter for a loss the while he pours forth the steen hundred reasons why his man should be given first crack at the worlds title holder.

 INFIELOER, TO
 HAVE OPERATION

New York, Jan. 5.---Chuck Ward, Dodger inffelder, called on Col. Eb- bets of Brooklyn over in Fiatbush on Saturday afternoon to pay his re- spects. War1 left yesterday for Bal timore, where he will call on Wilbert Robinson, the Brooklyn manager.
 During his stay in Baltimore Ward vii have an operation performed te remove a floating cartilage from his left knee This operation will be per- formed by Dr. William s. Baer, who has made several successful opera tions of similar character on ball players, among whom were Mike Mowrely, former Brooklyn infielder and Wilson Fewster of the Yankees
 The ailment interfered with Wards s utility to the Dodgers last season, and he did not play the ball expected ot him. If the operation should be sue cessful and Ward should play the kind of game he showed before going into the army he is likely to start the sea- son at third base for the Dodgers.

Looks Like Banner
 Year for Ring Game

It looks like big year for old Doc Boxing. Almost simultaneously with the announcement of the 20 round decision bout between worlds cham pion Benny Leonard and Johnny Dundee at the New Haven Arena. on the evening Of Jan. Is, came the tid- ings that boxing has been adopted as a major sport at Yale University and that much activity is to be car ried on among the students ia the glove sport. With boxing placed on a much higher standard than ever before the sport properly supervised and encouraged by the leading ex- poaents of the sport in the world, there is little to wonder at that low CTS of the spot are much intel "sted and pleased over the match between Leonard and Dundee.
 In this match the fans will surely witness one of the fastest, cleverest and most scientific bouts ever boxed in the East. New Haven is in line for one of the classiest fistic attrac- tons ever arranged and students of boxing will certainly enjoy the work of two of the greatest lightweights in the world. Both Leonard and Dun- dee know about everything there Is to know about boxing. They will try to cutwit, outguess and win by clev., tactics. There isn't a boy who ever entered the ring who has the keeness of eye that is credited to Johnny Dundee and there isn't a boy that Is cleverer, hard hitting light weight in the world than Benny Leonard.
 The work of these two boys should go 8 long way towards elevating the sport in New Haven and in fact throughout the East and the fact that this match is appreciated by those who are well versed in the sport is shown by the many orders for tickets received by the club.
 Many things have happened ir classy boxing bouts to upset the Hope and many times fellows considered not to have a possible chance have won out and surprised the sporting world. Dundee appears confiden of outpointng Leonard. The ma torfty of fans believe Leonard wil win handIly and most likely by th' knockout route But you never cal tell.

FULTON CLhIE.ls
 DEhaPSEY AVOIDS BOUT WITH HIn1

Boston, Jan. 5.-Tom O'Rourke, manager of Fred Fulton, is not al- lowing all the Dempsey Carpenter talk to blind or befog the real issue which he has in view, that is, bring ing about another melee between his protege and the champion.
 And O'Rourke comes right out and says so and to make 1t interesting, will offer purse of s75,000. to be di- vided 95 per cent. to the winner and 5 to the loser. which by many will be viewed as about the first sensible offer in connection with a mill for Dempsey which has been made. In a letter to the boxing editor, O'Rourke says:
 ''It is 16 months since Jack Demp- time, not like all men who have de- feated an opponent, they have given that opponent a return match except him. He himself was defeated in one round by Jim Flynn, who gave him 8 return fight. What excuse that is legitimate can he give the public why he is lodging Fulton?
 "He has said before he engages ir @ fight with Carpenter, which match is only in the making, that he WI engage in a few fights with the mer the public asks for. But his manager Jack Kearns. pulls that old, worn ] out excuse that the public must pick anybody but Fulton. He has told . friend in San Francisco he could set no reason in giving Fulton another ] chance. He says Fulton accomplished i nothing in England to entitle him tt another bout with Dempsey. Wha more could Fulton do in England a1 bot hi 1T jig time, he also offered to fight Car pentier and Beckett the same nig.l and give his part of the proceeds u charity or the Home for the Blinded i Soldiers of England. Is that any ! thing, MT. KearnS?
 ''He says Fulton was knocked ou once and he will have to show some thing before he gets another match i It is true Fulton was beaten b, Dempsey in something like IS sec onds, which included the 10-secon l count. Very quick work MT. Kearns l you will admit; but to be fairminde6 you know that a fight of such shor 1 duration rare,y determines conclus lively that the winner is the bette man.
 "I am sure if a standing vote wa asked at any boxing attendance this or any other country who wa the legitimate contender against Jac Dempsey before he meets Carpen tier, as he elected, Fred Fulton woul get a unanimous vote.

FREAK HlJRL-ERS
 NOT STARS, SAYS HUGH JENNINGS

Scranton, Penn, Jan. 3-Hughey Jennings recently expressed himself on the subject of freak pitching.
 During this talk '.Hughey'' took occasion to praise such pitchers as .Mathewson, Alexander, Johnson. Adams and others. who have disre- garded the freak pitching stunts. ''These pitchers made good by using nothing more than a curve ball, the fadeaway, and fast and slow balls,'' Jennings said They had a suffi- cient amount of gray matter in their heads to master those balls, and cou- pied with them went good control.
 They studied the batters weak ness, used a good change of pace, and in other respects made use of their intelligence, along with their natural ability to pitch. Johnson made good from the start because of these facts. The same thing applies to the other f~reozaa pitchers have mentioned"
