man with record like Johnson's is
cheered. Not many months ago the
writer attended a match in Phila-
delphia in which the former bantam
weight champion, Herman, was TAX
ing part. 1t was an affair for char
ity, and Herman was there to do his
bit. His work that night was very
solvent and the crowd was on his
back in every round. Not long ago
it was made public that Herman was
blind in one eye and that the sight
in his other was not going to last
much longer. The fight in Philadel-
phia was staged just at the time this
eve trouble started and, although it
was a charitable affair in which Her
man was not making expenses, he
went through with his end, even
though under one of the greatest
physical disadvantages, and he got a

got a greeting fit for king.
