Jimmy Wilde the first knockout he had
ever taken. Returning, Herman start
ed tipping over opponents.
1t is said Herman cannot see out of
one of his eyes.
But none of the boxers he fights
have been able to locate his good eye
and work on it.
Fans are rallying back to the side
of the little Italian. They like him be-
cause he is trying his best to knock
out all his opponents.
Lynch. on the other hand, is boxing
no-decision bouts and barely holding
his own.
Young Montreal won out of 10
rounds In a mix with, Lynch in Cleve-
land a few nights ago. But Lynch's
title was safeguarded by the no-deci-
sion attachment.
Dope on the bantams is pretty well
mixed up just now. There's a whole
flock of them-Joe Burman, Carl Ire
maine, Young Montreal, Jack Wolfe
and Pete Herman-all on the same
level with Lynch practically.
If Herman continues his knockout
system of elimination he'll be matched
with Lynch again this summer. Lynch
has promised to give him a crack at
the title soon.
Fans who have seen Herman in ac
ton recently believe he has good
chance to cop his lost laurels.

Here he halted, having made twen-

aey this day
The journals read: 1--WE followed
soon after sunrise. At six miles the
ridge terminated, and we had before
us the cheering prospect of the
large plain to the southwest. tThis
was certainly sherman peak.) On
7 leaving the ridge we again ascend
ed and went down several noun
/ tains and several miles farther came
to Hungry creek (Fish creek) where
it was fifteen yards wide and re-
! ceived the waters from a branch to
the north (Willow creek.) We
went up it on course nearly due
west. and at three miles crossed a
same quarter (Obia creek) The
country is thickly covered with
pine timber (conifers) of which we
have enumerated eight distinct spe-
cies Three miles beyond this last
branch of Hungry creek we en-
camped, after fatiguing route OF
eighteen miles. Having no other
provisions, we took some portable
soup, our only refreshment during
the day This abstinence, Joined
with fatigue, has visible effect on
our health. The men are growing
weak and losing their flesh very
fast; several are afflicted with the
dysentary. and eruptions Of the skin
are very common"

They have had a hard grind to-

high mountains including Bald
Mountain. They could have mad
fine horse feed at Bald Mountain,
but they trudged YEARLY on and
camped on the dry ridge between
this mountain and No-see-em Mea-

mile and half northeasterly from
No-see-em. At their time there was
bunch grass patch of ten or fiji
teen acres on the south slope of the
ridge where they grazed the horses
This patch is now grown over by
lodge pole pine seventy five or
eighty years old and the bunch
grass is almost whipped out. The
surrounding timber is much older.
The distance of IS. miles is an over
estimation. The present trail as
measured is between ten and eleven
miles. but the old Indian trail was
several miles longer and rougher
and it would have seemed eighteen
miles to the weary men. Most GER

plain. in which he fortunately

it could be Obia creek.) 1.-TWO

quantity of the fallen timber.
