tv. fres was one of the fastest e-er

After Herman opened the Bout wun a ieii
look, thereafter most of the leading was

W box a defenslvo battle by any means.
but he usually waited for Williams to lead
before Petey got oft with his punches.
The Kid excelled with a left Jab, short
left hook to the body, left uppercut and
riltt cross, while Herman's best blows were
l left hook, right cross and his famous
bootblack" body attack, a steady tattoo
with both hands at closo quarters.
First Round Was Even
The battlers fought nip and tuck In the
Jrt round, with both scoring hard wal
lops throughout tho three minutes. Each
itMently was bent on finishing his sched
slri eighteen minutes' work before that
time: one to provo his absoluto right to
tie- title; the other anxious to retrieve his
lost crown. And they fought hard.
Williams got off with a right to the
bead, starting the second, and after nn ex
change of punches Herman broko ground.
Williams tore after the champion with a
left ewlng to tho body and when the ropea
stopped Petey, the Kid whanged nway with
both hands to Herman's midsection. Later
In the same period Williams again forced
Herman to tho ropes where a left to the
lead made Pete cllnc!-.. Herman left hook
ed to the head at the bell, but WUliams
had the round with plenty to spare.
The third round, which also belonged to
Williams by a wide margin, was opened
with a rush by the Baltlmorean. He was
Ilka an unleashed tiger and fought fero
ciously. Getting Into close quarters Williams
pommeled Herman with terrific body blows.
When they wero separated by O'Brien the
Kid crossed a hard left to the Jaw, and
when Herman came forward again a hard
Htht, this time to tho temple, stopped Pete.
Several times during this round Herman
was guilty of holding, and about half a
minute before the bell Pete was rocked
, with a right hander. A right hand upper
iV cut Inside made Herman hold and after
some sparring tho bell sent the clovemen
mx to their respective corners to one minute
rest for the fourth frame.

Williams again started action In the
fourth round when he hooked a left to the
Jw. Left and right body blows drovo Her
man to. the ropes, and Pete fell Into a clinch.

stinging slam apparently gave tho champion

Kaiser Bill Is Slammed
Before the big battle between Williams
and Herman was put on. Kaiser Wllhelm
" "m-Dangca an over the twenty-four-foot
ring. First, the Rev. Thomas W. Pavls.
a Methodist Episcopal clergyman and chap
Iain of the State Senate, scored n knorkout
oyer Bill the Tyrant ln a stirring address,
pleading for recruits to the United States
Jlarlno Corps. There was no doubt about
his speech being a knockout; It was a
clean-cut, aggressive address When he
finished up with a well-directed right-cross
at an Imaginary Teuton Bill, the reverend
stepped out of tho ring nmld tremendous
npplause.
Then Sergeant Samuel W. Katchcr, of the
United Slates Marine Corps, who has had
the Rpotglare thrown on him rnnanli-nnimlv
since starting a campaign for recruits, made
another of his thrilling speeches, lie In
troduced Democracy Uncle Sam "on my
right." and Militarism Bill, "on my left."
"The battle Is on," said Katcher. and he
wanted to know which red-blooded Ameri
cans wero anxious to win tho decision by
a clean knockout. Tho answer from the
big crowd wasn't for Bill.

times they are diihlnn , it,. ....
fhT.mr;! ltT tl,,, Tin- In er to clear
the situation here nre the facts:
I was appointed holder of the $1000 for-
felt and supervised the weighing. Tho
wmh W"f KCt at "s Pounds and when
W llllams stepped upon them tho beam did
not move Gnrgnno. Herman's manager,
asked that the beam be moved up and
down to make sure that It was not stuck,
and this wns done. Again It settled down,
showing that Williams weighed under ItH
pounds. I don't know how much he was
under. He may have weighed 117 15-16
pounds or less than that.
Herman was next to bo weighed and he
registered exactly US pounds. I do not see
why there should have been a discussion
over tho weight. Both boys fulfilled their
ngreement nnd that's all there was to It.
Carries Fight to Herman
Williams carried the hattlo to Herman,
and that helped a great deal ln giving him
the decision. He was out to win back tho
crown he lost In New Orleans last January
and kept nfter his man like a hungry tiger
stalking his prey. His vicious left hooks
and right smashes did untold damaee nnd
onco ho had the champion on the verge of
a knockout.
That was In the third round and It was
only the generalship of the champion that
carried him through. Williams was forcing
tho fighting, but Herman kept him off with
a stinging left Jab. About the middle of
the round Williams crashed a wicked left
hook against Pete's Jaw and the titleholder
nlmost was floored. Tho Kid tore nfter
him llko a wildcat, but Herman covered up
nnd managed to stnve off the finishing blow.
Pete wns In bail shape. His knees were
stiff, ho lost his springy step nnd he rocked
about llko a ship In distress until tho bell.
But ho soon recovered. At the beginning
of the fourth session Williams again con
nected with a left hook which landed flush
on the chin, nnd It looked like the finale.
However. Peto refused to bo worried nnd
fought back harder than ever. He stopped
WIlllamR's rushes and Inflicted some dam
age himself. Near the end of the act he
Bhot a right to the chin which staggered the
Baltlmorean. and from then on fought with
renewed confidence. He could not overcome
tho lead piled up by his opponent, how
ever, and had to bo content with second
place.
Herman noxed Well
Herman Is no "cheeso champion." He Is
n clever little battler, and his showing last
night was far better than expected. He Is
used to long-distance bouts and finds It hard
to cet going In six rounds. Pete made
many friends, for ho boxed better than at'
any other time here, and showed that ho
soon could ndapt himself to the sprint ex
hibitions. In a long bout, say of fifteen or twenty
rounds, I believe Herman would win. He
knows how to box Williams, and his left
Jab Is good enough to keep the Kid at bay.
This ls no attempt to detract from Wil
liams's victory last night. It merely Is the
opinion expressed by the writer, for Peto
was going good at tho end.
Williams was aggressive, carried the fight
to his foe and won two rounds. Three were
even and Herman was entitled to one.
Thus It can be seen that the margin was
narrow.
The bout was a clean exhibition of box
ing. No blood was spilled, and the boys
fought fairly from start to finish. It was
an Ideal example of the manly art of self
defense. WHAT MAY HAPPEN IN

Picture n Imscmnn in the path of Ty Cobb ns he is headinj for the Imsc nnd you'll have the reason many nn
inficlder bears tho niars of the Georgian's spikes. Cobb is n fenrless bnscbaU runner, nnd frequently
there's a mixup when n dnrini; inner defense man dives to put the ball on Cobb's flyint; lejs. Cobb has often been
accused of dirty work on tho base paths. It is said that the Rieat player ndmitted he tried to spike Herzoj in
tentionally. "I never intentionnlly spiked any one in my life," says Cobb. "If nny one is hurt it is his fault
not mine. I slide quick nnd short. That is the secret. Possibly it looks vicious to tho fnns but it isn't.
Those lone, slow slides are no good. The baseman can ride you in. The only effective way is to hook to
cither side. This may make mo appear to blame when any one is hurt but remember, tho paths belong to
the basc-runncr." Cobb is the preatest base-runner the game has known. He holds the American Leaguo
reconl of stolen bases, with n mark of 00 made in 1915. True, Harry Stovey, playing with the old American
Association, stole IBB bags in 1888 nnd 13G in 1890, but the conditions then wero not the same ns today.
Also William Hamilton, ns n member of the Philadelphia Club of the National League, pilfered 115 bases

AQUATIC PENTATHLON NEW SPORT
FOR THE SWIMMERS IN HONOLULU
Hawaiian Feature May Be Adopted in This Coun
try by the A. A. U. Officials for Annual
Tank Championships
HONOLULU has Introduced nn Interest
ing novelty In water sports the nrjun
tic pentathlon. It Is proving very popular
with both contestants nnd public, nnd sev
eral prominent swimmers of this country
nro now ndvocatlng giving It a thorough
trial here, changing some of tho events If It
seems desirable, then adopting It ns an
official nll-nrnund test and making It n
regular feature of tho annual A. A. V.
championships.
Tho pentathlon arranged by the Hawall
nns Inrludes a RO-ynrd breast-stroke con
test, free-style sprints nt B nnd 220 yards,
a rescuo race and a short swim In full
street costume.
This program, however. Is thought by the
homo mermen to need revising In order to
provide a well-balanced nll-around test.
Ifoscuc Race Valuable
All agree that tho rescue raco should re
ceive first consideration, for It Is tho most
valuable event on tho list, hut hardly any
see why swimming In clothes should be
brought Into tho fixture, since even a be
ginner usually knows enough to undress
when thrown unexpectedly Into tho wnter
or before going to the aid of somo ono ln
danger of drowning.
So they would nbnndon this event In
favor of a back-stroke race, and also alter
tho distances of the various swims, particu
larly the free stylo ones, both because seventy-five
yards Is not a recognized courso
and because they believe the listing of two
sprints Is unfair to tho dlstanco men nnd
against the principles of an all-around test.
A suggested pentathlon that seems to be
favored by a number of the leading local
competitors calls for 100-yard swims at tha
breast and hack stroke, 100 and 410 yards
free style and rescue race ; another nlso
favored placing the breast and back stroke
races at the classic A. A. U. distances. !00

same other three events

Umpire From a Bad One
TO MAKE STRONG PROTEST
riTTSBUnOH, June 14,
Manager McOraw received today notifies
tlon of the severe penalty Inflicted on him
by President Tener for his fight with
I'mplre Byron. McOraw, when seen at the j
Hotel Pcheneley this morning, was terribly
Incensed at Tener. He said:
"President Tener has made a moat un
fair nnd unjust decision. He has discrimi
nated against me personally and against
the New York club. I shall protest this
decision and find out If I am to be made a
mark of without Justification, when Byron
was more to blame than I wns. I want
to be treated fairly. I am willing to take,
my medicine If I am In the wrong, but In
this case I was riot the aggressor Tenpr
sticks to his umpires whether they are right
or wrong, nnd he doesn't know a good
umpire from a poor one. Why doesn't h
travel nround nnd see his umpires perform?
He would be made aware nulck enough
then what a rotten staff he has, the worst
In spots the National League ever had.
"fniplres, with Byron's lack of common
Intelligence and good sense, will now be
so overbearing with players there will be
no living with them. I have had no serious
trouble with umpires who know their busi
ness' President Tener has made a big
mistake. He has taken snap Judgment
on the one-sided evidence of Byron alone.
He has not heard my side of the case at
all. I shall make a fight for my rights.
I have been grossly misused nnd mis under
stood."
President Hempstead will be" here today,
and It Is expected he will make a stronf
protest over, the decision.
