BUFF'S BANTAM CROWN
COVETED BY PAL MOORE
By FAIRPLAY.

Pal Moore, the clever bantam who
used to give Memphis as his halling
port, but now Is proudly owned by
Chicago. writes a letter in which he
says that today begins his period Of
light training for his November %
battle against Pete Herman. The

on the afternoon OF the fight.
Moore writes that his main object
is a fight with Johnny Buff for the
championship. Herman is a stepping
stone. He already has won two pop
ular decisions over Herman and says
he fully expects this time to get a
referees opinion in his favor. Having
eliminated the former titleholder Pal
will set sail for the champion.
moter. aims to be the man to bring
Buff and Moore together In event of
Herman's defeat by Moore. He says
he will offer the present titleholder
an $4,000 guarantee. There was a time
when q sum like that looked good to
a champion. But in these Rickardian
days 1t is no longer so.
Harry Greb now is looking in Bill
Brennan's direction and there Is lit
tie doubt that Tex Rickard will an
nounce the clinching OF the match
giant-killer. Greb got . decision over
Brennan out in Tulsa and at Pitts
burgh later the two fought a draw.
Brennan says he is anxious to knock
Harry for goal, and since Greb is
eager. there seems nothing in the way
