Y P I SPORTS. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. O, THURSDAY, MARCH 31, 1921 SEORTST b1l Herman Earns Chance to Regain Bantam Title : Northwestern Has Clever Athletic Plan, SURPRISE TESTS WILL - k) Y PROVES HE RETURN GO | DESERVES WITH LYNCH BY FAIRPLAY. N EW YORK, March 31.—Pete Herman is rapidly getting together the bones of a story which equals anything that any fiction writer has ever put together concerning a prizefighter. Last night at the Pioneer A. C, in this city, Pete so hammered tough little Willie Spencer that in the twelfth round the referee stopped the fight and awarded Herman a technical knockout. ‘This makes three high-class boys that the former champ has stopped since Joe Lvnch took the title from him. In other words, Pete has won the right to a return bout with Joe Lynch for the championship. Only Spencer’s elusive footwork and clever defense enabled him to stay as long as he did in last night's fight. Fred Fulton. the elongated heavy- weight, is looking for a new manager and o far as can be seen none of the good handlers of fighters is breaking his neck to hook up with the plaster- er. Just why Fulton broke with Tom ORourke no one knows. Fulton has been trying to tell. but his language gets so sulphurous when he starts that listeners don’t quite understar what he is trying to get at. O'Rourke, meanwhile, is saying nothing. A lot of insiders eay t he doesn’t have to. Burss Doing Well Abroad. Tommy Burns has got fat in the eourse of the years, but is picking up & nioe Mving teaching boxing and giv- ing boxing exhibitions in England. Ordinarily he would not want to go in for a real fight, but the spectacle of Joe Beckett standing as champion of England proved too much for Tommy. So he put up $2.500. got a friend to post $5.000 more as a side wager and challenged Beckett to fight. Joe ac- cepted and the two will meet early in May over the fifteen-round route. Beckett has already met Burns and beaten him. So, no doubt, the idea of a fight with the Canadian appealed to the champion of England as better medicine than the proposed trip to the United States. Anvway, Beckett is not coming over the pond. He would be an attra. tion here for just ome bout, probabl after that he would be no more of a dn:‘lng card than Ed Dunkhorst used to_be. Johnny Kilbane probably will get into the ring and defend his title, now that decision bouts have been made legal in Ohio, Kilbane's home state. It looks as though Chaney would be the bov to smoke Johnny out. as Andy's manager has already signed to meet the cham- pion in McGinty's big open-air arena in Cleveland. Al now required is for the champion to sign. When Jess Willard and Tom Jones parted company the wily manager was on the skids for a while. But now he is doing very nicely, framing up fighting cards for the American Legion shows in Illinois. RBesides Willard, Jones in his day managed Ad Wolgast and Billy Papke. The next base ball trade. it is said, will include Stuffy Mclnnis, who is still holding out on the Red Sox. As Shano Collins is a good initial sack mzan, Duffy could use the former White Sox player there and let Mc- Innis o for a pair of good outfield- ers. The hot corner is the unlucky cor- ner for the Giants ever since Arthur Deviin went back. First. Tillie Schaefer got tired of base ball and threw McGraw down: then Zimmer- man hit the black sox trail. Frisch was put on the bag and got appendi- oitis.

In their first encounter Kelley - was awarded a technical knockout when Muchic failed to come up for the third round. These men have been matched for the feature en- gagement of a show that will include four other mills. Joe Bateman, who pleased District fight fans with his first entertainment in the armory at the Maryland suburb, is promoting the affair.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 31— Bryan Downey of Cleveland won the decision over Young Fisher of Syra- cuse in_a twelve-round bout last night. They are middleweights. “SPORTING BARBER,” WHO BACKED JOHN L., IS DEAD BROOKLINE, Mass, March 31— William _(Billy) arty, known in the eighties as the “Sporting Barber,” backer of John L. Sullivan, died of apoplexy here yesterday. He was seventy-two years old. He was in Sullivan's corner from 1882, when he backed him in his bout with Paddy Ryan, until John L. was defeated by James J. Corbett. CAMBRIDGE HAS LENGTH ON THE OXFORD EIGHT LONDON, March 30.—The Cam- bridge eight won a victory over the Oxford oarsmen by a scant length yes- terday in one of the closest and hard- est races ever rowed on the Thames. The time was 19 minutes 44 seconds. There never was more than a length separating the boats, a spurt in the stretch winning for Cambridge. F. B. Lothrop, -Harvard-Oxford scholar, fell over exhausted after the race. NOLAN WOULD PREVENT ROWING DATE CONFLICT John J. Nolan of the Potomac Boat Club, as secretary of the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen, ls! corresponding with the Canadian as- sociation, looking to an adjustment of conflicting_dates in the two national regattas. He wrote to Secretary Fer- guson of the Canadian rowing body stating that in selecting July 29-30 as the dates for the United States contests. the American association be- lieved these days would not conflict with the race plans of the Dominion oarsmen. Secretary Nolan wrote: “If you have already selected a date for your regatfa with which our selection con- flicts, it should be an easy matter of adjustment between the two associa- tions, and‘we spall be glad to have| your view of this.” - of Alabama, 2.

HAVANA, March 31.—Jose B.

After forty-three moves had been made Dr. Lasker offered to agree to a draw, but Capablanca, having the advantage in position, declined. In his last move, in the opinion of experts, Lasker apparently blundered and gave Capablanca an opportunity, which he was quick to accept for a checkmate.
