PETE HERMAN IS DEFEATED
BY LEW TENDLER AT OLYMPIA;
VISITOR MAKES BAD START
Local Boxer Has Better
of Five Rounds and
Outclasses Boy Who
Held Kid Williams to
a Draw; Frankie
White Does Well
By ROBERT 'W. MAXWELL
WRLU now Hint It Is all over, what
are you going to do about It? I'cto
Herman, who held Kid Williams to n,
draw In Now Orleans a couplo of weeks
go, was seen In nctlon at tho Olympla
A. A, last night and
lost out to Lew Ten
dler nftcr six very
fast rounds of box
ing Tho result was
n terrlblo surprise,
as Peto was touted
ns a real champion
and tho only logical
cnndldato for the
bantamweight title.
It was thought that
Tcndler would bo
rocked to sleep be
foro tho battlo had
gono tno limn, nnu
Mr. Herman would
provo to all of thoso
present that ho was
too good to allow
n. w. maxwell
ven Kid Williams to hold him on oven
terms.
But onco more tho grandoldopo was
shot to pieces, and now wo are wonder
ing If Kid Williams lias gono back, did
Kid Herman havo an oft night, or Is
, Lew Tcndler good enough to take a fling
1 at the bantamweight title? Tho local
boy won five of tho six rounds and tho
other was even. That shows how ho
" outclansed tho battler from Now Or
leans last night.
PrcsentiiiB the Alibis
In Justice to Herman, howover, It must
bo said that I'cto arrived hero Friday
after n long railroad trip and stepped
, Into real winter weather Instead of sun-
, ehlne and roses. Ho was 111 on Saturday,
but recovered sufficiently to step Into tho
ring against Tcndler. Ho was not nc-
cllmated and, more than that, ho was not
accustomed to short-dlstanco bouts. But
all of this can bo '1150(1 for alibis only.
Tho fact remains that Tcndler won tho
bout and deserves all of tho credit for
pulling tho unexpected.
When ho squared off against Tcndler
, In tho first round, Herman met one of
tho toughest propositions In his career.
Low looks like an awkward novice. Ho Is
. tall, rangy, bony and seems frightened
to death, but when ho gets started ho is
one of tho hardest men in his. class to beat
In bK rounds He has a natural defense,
and this, with his long reach, makes It
Impossible for his opponents to reach him.
Herman fought a game battle, but was
unablo to get started. Ho spent tho first
round In looking over Tendler's tactics
and endeavored to solve his defense. Ho
failed In this nnd soon gave up tho Idea
of boxing at long rnngo nnd shifted his
attack to Tendler's body, where ho did
some good work Lew. however, gained
confldcnco as tho bout progressed and
;- found It easier to keep I'cto away from
' him with thoso long right-hand JabB.
Herman Is Bleeding
In the first round Herman's noso began
to bleed, nnd it kept on running until tho
f final bell Lew opened Pete's eye In tho
fifth and somo more goro was spilled. In
tho sixth round Terdier drovo Herman nil
over tho ring, hitting him almost at will,
K and had him backed In a corner covering
in ...I.-... ,t. ... a..., n nn.1 (n V. l
fracas
Herman has tho polso of a high-class
boxer, but ho was unablo to land many
.effcctlvo blows. All of his leads to tho
head fell short and his vicious swings to
tho Jaw went wido of tho mark. Ho was
six Inches shorter than Tcndler, nnd tho
handicap could not bo overcome. It was
a bad start for a top-notcher, and ho will
have to show something real beforo ho Is
considered seriously In Philadelphia.
Tho remainder of the card was very,
very sad. Bobby Hanson won from Neil
McCue In tho curtain' raiser, Young Pal
mer won from Solly Woods In tho follow
ing act and Johnny Mayo beat tho Ka
lioma Kid In tho scmlwlndup.
frankie White Makes Hit
A very stout person sitting near tho
f$ ring: enjoyed tho preliminaries bo much
mat he slept through tho first two bouts,
uiuuacu uunueir iouk viiuuku iu unci u
few feeblo cheers while Frankie White
i nnd Larry Hansen put on their duet and
. after that lost all Interest In tho pro
ceedings. t This tribute to tho Whlto-Hansen battlo
5 Was desorved. ns It really was the feature
bout of tho oventng, Franklo, who has
fought just onco In eight months, made a
'treat showing, and, although he lost to
the visitor from Denmark, showed that
he Is a clever boy, can take lots of pun
ishment and hand out more In return.
White had a hard tlmo of It In tho first
three rounds, but ho gamely took a, beat
ing and had tho better of tho last two ses-
tlons. it seems strange that a boxer like
. White should be forced to remain Idle
While matchmakers aro sending to New
York for talent.
The announcement that Willie Moore
Would take part In the star bout at the
Olympla next Monday night did not meet
with favor and for several minutes tho
Audience, principally the critics upstairs,
hooted and hissed. This was brought on
because Willis refused to ea on at the
National last Saturday night n anything
f but the wind-up, although Jack McQuIgari
had offered him a fair prlco for his
services.

APPIiETON, Wis., Feb, 29,
The State Boxing Cornrnission has
ruled that Battline Nelson is ''too

whom he lost the lightweight cham
pionship. They had been' matched
to box here April 12.
, A few months ago Ad Wolgast
was badly beaten by Leach Cross
in New York. 'It was thu general
belief at the time that Wolgast, the
conqueror of Nelson, was through
and done.
Now comes the information that
Nelson is "too far gone" for even.

J. WILLARD ADDS
JOHNSON'S STUNTS
TO REPERTOIRE
i
Heavy King Has Improved
and Looks Like Real
Champion
CONFIDENT OF ABILITY
NEW YORK, Feb. 2D. Jcsq Wlllard
looks and acts lllto a real champion
In his workouts hero for his 10-round
quarrel with Prank Moran on March 26,
"Tho champ stolo some of Jack John
son's stuff, that's what he did," ven
tured a bystnndor nt Wlllard's workout
hero today. And thnt's tho opinion nmong
tho "experts" who havo seen him In nc
tlon. Tho Wlllard of todny exhibits clever
ness far beyond that which ho possessed
when ho snatched the heavyweight crown
from tho black man In Havana, nearly
11 months ngo. Ho Is much fnstcr than
ho was In Cuba, desplto tho fact that ho
Is a bit bulky amidships and slightly soft
In tho ntms nnd Bhouldcrs Ho has be
como quito shifty, too, nnd uses blocking,
ducking and feinting methods that John
son seemed to havo copyrighted.
"Did you train In Bccrct nnd learn n
few of Johnson's tricks?" Wlllard was
asked.
Never Quit Training
Tho heavyweight king grinned and said :
"Well, I'll answer that by saying that
I never havo quit training since the day
I beat Johnson, lint It hasn't been stren
uous training Just enough to keep mo
In shapo. I do not supposo the public
know I was doing somo work every day,
nnd that's why so many wild stories got
around about my weighing anywhere from
300 pounds to hnlf a ton.
"Fighting Is my profession, I nlmcd to
become tho best In my lino, nnd so, nat
urally, I havo tried to develop speed nnd
cleverness. How well I havo succeeded Is
something for tho spectators to decide."
Trobably tho most striking chango In
Wlllard Is that ho has acquired confidence
In himself. IJeforo ho becamo champion
ho nlways was mnntlcd with an air of
a man not sure of himself, who fears that
tho worst Is going to happen and looks
for It to happen.
But Wlllard now Is a confident youth
though not conceited. Ho feels within
himself that ho is tho best mnn In tho
fighting game today, but ho doesn't Insist
upon one feeling tho same wuy about It.
Develops Good Left
Wlllard has acquired a left stab sinco
tho Johnson fight. In other yenrs of his
career he used his left almost wholly for
jabbing purposes, reserving tho right for
tho "clean-up" wallop. That's what ho
did In tho JohnsQn fracas. Hut now Wll
lard has a left-handed punch that soJms
to have tho samo crushing forco that Is
behind ills right.
"I hold Moran In high regard," said
Wlllard. "I think bo's tho one man In
tho ring who Is entitled to a chanco at
tho title and that's why ho's geting It.
I realize that Moran has a powerful
right-hander, but I am developing a de
fense which I feel will turn back thoso
attacks."
Wlllard's training schedule calls for a
threo to six mile jaunt In tho morning
through and mound parts of Central
Park. This exhibition is freo to nil thoso
who happen to be In tho neighborhood
where tho heavyweight Is running or
walking.
Hut It costs "two bits" to seo tho cham
pion stage his afternoon sketch nt tho
I'ioneor A. C. Somo folks figured that
It wasn't quito clubby to pay so much
money to seo a fighter In training, but
Tom Jones retorts by saying that such
an exhibition would bo cheap at a dollar
a head.
Eight-Act Stunt
"Why, look what Jcsi does for 25
cents," said Tom as ho chanted the bill:
Act one Three minutes at tho pulleys.
Act two Three minutes Hhadow boxing.
Act threo Two three-mlnuto rounds with
Jack Hemplo. Act four Two thrce-mln-ute
rounds with Walter Monoghan. Act
five Ono three-minute wrestling match
with Yussuf Hussano. Act six Jess lays
on tho floor and does exercises designed
to strengthen his stomach (three minutes).
Act seven Sparring partners throw 12
pound medicine ball at Wlllard's stomach
(three minutes). Act eight Wlllard ex
ecutes somo thrilling back exercises
(threo minutes).
"Eight great acta for 'two bits' ain't
It a good bargain?" nsked Jones.

CINCINNATI'S POWERFUL PITCHING STAFF
MAKES IT DANGEROUS IN NATIONAL RACE
If Latest Additions
Show Form Corps
Will Be the Best in
the League
By CHANDLER D. RICHTER
AIIT1CL.E VII.
CINCINNATI Is tho dark horso of tho
National Leaguo race. It Is a team
with such a powerful pitching staff that It
Is bound to bo dangerous If Manager
Ilerzog can do three things,
IIo must not loso sight of tho fact that
the pennant rnco Is a six-month affair In
stead of a few weeks. By this wo mean
that ho should not work his pitchers to
death In tho early stages of tho raco or
throw nwny two stars In ono nftcrnoon
trying to savo a gamo which Is almost
hopelessly lost. Among other managers
who havo mado this mistake and spoiled
a good pitching stnff Is Charley Dooln,
with tho Phillies In 1913,
Last season llcrzogi worked Toney,
Schneider and Dnlo unusually hard for
a long stretch. Overwork took away much
of their effectiveness In tho closing weeks
of tho season, but tho lighting leader of
the Iteds was compelled to do this becauso
Bubo llenton nnd X'hll Douglas refused to
keep In condition, nnd wero finally cut
adrift.
Herzog's two other tasks nro to Instill
Into his men his own wonderful spirit,
nnd to fill second base In a cnpablo man
ner. If Ilerzog accomplishes theso threo
tasks tho IledB aro likely to surprise tho
country ns It Is n far stronger team
than It Is generally Credited with being.
Pitching Staff Powerful
Pitching Is moro than half tho battle,
and tho powerful trio of Toney, Schneider
and Dalo will bo strengthened wonder
fully by tho addition of McKcnery, a
Northwestern Leaguo recruit who pitched
grand ball for Ilerzog during tho last six
weeks of tho 191G season: Ilolnlo Schulz,
a star lefthander who will flit a long-felt
want; Jlosely, another Federal Leaguer,
nnd Mitchell, tho Bensatlonnl young left
handcr from Denver.
Herzotr needs but two running mates
for Toney, Dale nnd Schneider to have
tho most powerful hurling corps In tho
National League one that Is superior to
that of tho Brnves. It will not bo as pow.
crful In numbers ns tho Boston stnff, but
will be better suited for tho pennant grind.
Apparently Schulz and Mitchell aro tho
men most needed nnd who will fit In per
fectly with the bnlanco of tho stnff. Ben
ton wns the only southpaw on Herzog's
pay roll last season, and after ho went to
pieces tho Beds did not even have a left
hander to pitch to the men In batting prac
tice from July until September, when
"Lefty" Gcorgo was signed.
If Ilerzog had gotten a good southpaw
at tho tlmo ho ndvanccd within five games
of first place with six weeks remaining
In tho pennant race, ho may havo caused
trouble. Tho absenco of a southpaw
worked against tho Reds threo ways. It
forced Ilerzog to overwork his threo stars;
It threw away an opportunity to clinch
games against teams which do not lilt
left-handers, and made tho Reds weak
against southpaw pitching because they
never hnd nn opportunity to practico
against good portslders.
Southpaws Beat Reds
On the Reds' second trip Kast. when tho
team was going nt Its best, flvo games
wcro lost to southpaw pitchers. Tyler
beat them twlco in ono series In Boston,

CHARLEY HERZOG
Peppery manager of Cincinnati

and Ruckcr, Mnrquard and Rlxcy beat
them In Brooklyn, New York and hero.
If threo of thoso games had been con
verted Into victories, tho Reds would havo
been even closer to the top nfter tho suc
cessful homo stand which followed this
disastrous Eastern invasion.
Schulz's ability ti well known. IIo was
a star with tho Yankees nnd should bo
oven better with tho Reds. Mitchell holds
a unique) record. After having been
drafted for $1000. two major leaguo club3
offered J10.000 for his rcleaso before ho
has pitched a slnglo gamo for tho Reds.
This unusual condition was brought
nbout by tho youngster's wonderful work
with the All-Nationals on tho barn
storming trip to tho Pacific coaBt last
fall. Mitchell was picked up In Denver
and taken along by Frank Bancfort to
fill in. He had not been with tho AU
Natlonnls two days beforo It was learned
thnt ho was a remarkable youngster.
During tho bnlanco of tho trip he
worked regularly nnd lost but one game.
In San Francisco hj shut tho A1I
Amcrlcans out with ono hit nnd struck
out 14 men. In his other games also his
work was a revelation, which makes It
appear as If Ilerzog had picked up a
great pitcher. Ilerzog has never seen
Mitchell, but has heard such glowing re
ports of his work from veteran players
that ho has already placed him as a
regular.

Reds Must Improve in
Base Running and
Strengthen at Second
Base
they apparently havo but llttlo chanco.
It will bo n wonderful staff If Ilerzog
works his men properly, nnd ono that
makes the Reds mighty dangerous.
There nro only two stars on tho Red
land team ns It will lino up. They nre
Mnnnger Ilerzog nnd Heinle Groh, recog
nized ns tho best shortstop nnd best third
baseman, respectively. In tho National
League. There Is not nnother man on
the team who Is nbovo the average, nnd
It Is well for seven other clubs that they
are not with such n powerful pitching
staff, but, barring Wndo Klilefer, nil nro
ball players who nro certain to Improve,
nnd Klilefer should bo Just as good as In
1915.
A second baseman muit be found or
gamo nfter game will bo tossed away, na
was tho caso last year. Manager Hcrzog
has threo candidates for tho position, but
Is after another, n Phllndclphlnn. Iilll
Rodgers, who was with tho team tho last
half of 1916; I3I1I Louden, purchased from
tho Feds, nnd a youngster named Carl
Kmmcr, from tho semipro ranks of Co
lumbus, nro tho prospcctlvo candidates
for tho position, but Mono of them looks
strong enough.
Mannger Horzog Is trying to sign Alllo
McWIIlIums, known to Phlladelphlans as
tho greatest basketball guard In tho Hast,
but of whoso baseball ability little Is
known. If MoWilliams signs tho con
tract offered him ho has a splendid chanco
to make good, as he li a far better ball
player than Is generally telleecl.
McWUllams played with Upland, of tho
Delaware County Lenguo, and Frank
llaker declares that ho Is as good as many
In th major leagues In fielding, and does
not bar his old tcammato Hddlo Collins.
McWUllams could not hit In the Delaware
County Leaguo and naturally did not at
tract much attention but ho should de
velop Into nt least a .2110 major league
hitter which would provo highly satisfac
tory to Herzog.
Should Hit
Lack of batting practice, duo to n busi
ness position which prevents him from
practicing dally, was responsible for Mc
WUllams' failure to hit nt Upland. Ho
steps Into the ball well and swings very
good. Ono mouth In tho South with experi
enced clubbers teaching him, should en
nblo McWUllams to win a regular posi
tion or nt least easily clinch a utility
berth.
Ono outfielder was badly needed by tho
Reds last season to team with Tom Orlf
fifth and Klllefor. Herzog has picked up
threo promising men In Bcall, of Milwau
kee; Neale, of Wheeling, and George An
derson, of the Brooklyn Feds. Ono excel
lent gardener enn be selected from this
trio unless all suddenly go to pieces.
Beat! hit .334 and stole 39 bases In tho
American Association: Nealo batted .351
and pilfered 42 bases In the Central
League, while Anderson hit .259 nnd stolo
19 times In tho Federal League. Tho lat
ter Improved greatly In all departments In
the closing weeks of tho senson.
Lack of base-running nblllty wns a han
dicap to tho Reds last season but Herzog
believes that there will be a great Im
provement this yenr. Herzog and Mollwitz
were tho only men on the team who ran
bases well last year. A striking example of
poor base running Is shown in tho caso of
Griffith. Ho hit .307 and was continually
on tho bases, but stolo only six bases. This
Is unusual becauso Griffith is a fast man.
IIo was never taught to slide or Instructed
in the art of getting a lead off first until
last year, and will surely Improve greatly
this year.
A Suggestion
to Manufacturers
There is no stronger argument in
favor of advertising than the tobacco
you are smoking the soap you are
using the cereals you are eating
in fact, the majority of the articles
you personally use and have in your
home.
If you are a manufacturer you
will find in this fact a valuable sug
gestion. Advertising has created goodwill
and established a permanent demand
for various lines of goods; and it has
lowered the cost of manufacture, by
increasing sales.
Advertising can do that for you.
The public buys the goods it
KNOWS. What does the public
know about your product?
The power of the press is yours to
command. Use it to your advantage.
Place your goods in the spotlight of
public favor. Win the interest, the
confidence, the desire for your goods,
Then will follow demand.
Newspaper advertising will help
you do it if you select your news
paper rightly.
