Babe Herman, who forced Prince

for Cox. He intimated the New

fighter.

Mclaughlin then secured Jimmie
Watts Of Atlanta, Ga, to take Her
mans place, and this match was
sanctioned by Bays.
Herman lost to Saunders at La
Crosse, Mich, on Oct. 8, the judges
voting 81 to 46 against him. Saun-

Many f1stic fans are criticising the
action taken by Commissioner Bays
with his last-minute ruling against
Herman. The x-Herman match
was closed some time ago, but an
nouncement was held up until
Tuesday night to prevent publicity
conflicts with other shows. Herman
