PETE HERMAN IS
 AIARCE PUZZLE TO
 BOXING FOLLOWERS

What is it that makes Pete Herman a very good little fighter, lose so often and so unexpectedly? That IS a ques- tion that has long puzzled boxing 1ol- lowers. Herman alwoys has been a puzzle. When he won the bantam title from Kid Williams in a bout at New Orleans he promptly made tracks for New York to show his form, He met Dutch Brandt in Brooklyn and the showing he made caused the fans to pat him down as a false alarm.
 In several other no-declslon bouts Herman disappointed badly: He would not fight, but merely danced around and played it safe Men who had seen him perform in long distance events Tn the south declared that he was great hghter but for long time he refused to show it to the satisfaction of New Workers
 Finally Herman made match w1tf Toe Lynch in New York. Lynch was in great form at the time and it looked like sure thing that he would beat the cautious Herman, yet the latter followers made him a strong tavorlte in the betting. Herman fooled his back

CTS by putting up the same listless kind of a battle that he had shown on so many occasions when a decision was not at stake. Lynch was awarded the dec1s- ion and it was good one, although h1s margin was by no means overwhelming.
 The day after he dropped his title Herman sailed for England and shortly after arriving he knocked out the famous Jimmy Wilde. Herman's showing on that occasion was vastly different from his performance against Lynch and yet there was no apparent reason TOT the improvement On the contrary 1t was only reasonable to htink that he would be in poor form because of worry over the loss of his title and the fact that he had just landed from a sea voyage.
 For some time after his victory over Wilde, Herman continued to fight like real champion Within the next few months he scored more knockoutS than III all the years he had held the title. Just when he was going at top speed he met Young Montreal i'll a bout at Boston and Montreal was awarded the decision, gamblers cleaning up a fortune on the result. ,
 The decision in favor of Montreal was palpably unfair and the bout was investigated by the boxing commission but nothing came of 1t. A few weeks later Herman went back to Boston tor another crack at Montreal and agan ne lost the decision, after a close. battle Again Herman protested that he hao been robbed. The point that puzzled boxing followers was why Herman drew the thing so fine that a referee could cal 1t wrong when 1t was apparent Herman outclassed his man so far that he coule have won by a knockout.
 Herman then met Joe Lynch III return bout in Brooklyn Lynch was strong favorite, but the decision went tt Herman at the end of a bout that wa close enough to be called a draw with out creating a riot.

Death Counts Out
 Filipino Boxer

Kid Dencio, the Filipino lightweight, who at one time threatened to come here and take the world title away from Benny Leonard, is dead. Dencio died recently at Melbourne, after contest with Bert Mccarthy. The trouble that caused his death had been coming on for some time, and the coroner announced that he had died from natural causes.
 Dencio IS said to have been a re- markable boxer A little over a year ago he was on the point of sailing from the Phillipines to New York to chal- lenge Leonard. He accepted the advice

to use both feet nd hands, while Jeff was confined to the use of his fists.
 Jeff had never seen the French style of fighting and he did not know what he was up against. His opponent scaled under no pounds, so lie did not fake the affair very seriously The big fellow fcinted with his left and the Frcnchman began to dance around the ring at a rapid rate. Jeff was laughing at his opponents queer actions when the Frenchman sud denly lcapcd into the air and kicked the champion on the jaw so hard that the crack could be heard all over the arena.
 Jeff was not hurt much, but he was both bcwidcrcd and angcrcd by th1s treatment The Frenchman tried to take advantage of his surprise, but the next time he tried the maneuver Jeff was waiting for him. He reach ed over and tapped the little French man on the chin and the battle was over. The other bout was with lack Scales. who was one of the many big ] fellows posing as the champion ot | England at that time. Scales con 1 scnted to meet Jeff in Paris.
