r ACk LEWIS, manager of Tiny
i Herman, heavyweight fighter,
= has hit another snag in trying
to land his scrapper a bout with the
big Canadian, Jack Renault.
Since the night at the Omaha
Auditorium when Jack Renault
knocked out Herman in the seventh
round of scheduled 10-round
bout. Lewis has been trying TO get
RenauIt in the ring with Herman
in a return quarrel. Lewis has
spent money. good money. going
from one town to another in hopes
OF landing a return fight.
The latest bit of tough luck for
Lewis and company came when
Renault backed down OH a Herman
bout for Minneapolis. The Mime
apolis promoter had Renault sign
ed for bout, bit WAS scouting
round for an opponent for the Can
adian. "SuIly" Montgomery, the
former Centre college star, was
signed lie wiggIed out of the bout
and then this promoter in ques-
fion wired Leo Flynn. boss of Re
nanlt, stating that Herman was
willing to meet Renault in Mime
apols. Flynn didn't even answer
the telegram.
Renault evidently doesn't want any
OF Herman's medicine. The big
Canadian didn't have any trouble
knocking "Tinv" out In Omaha, al
though Renault absorbed three or
four stiff wallops on the jaw before
he put Mr.. Herman out Of the way
fer the remainder Of tie evening.
