| i i { Bantam Champion Herman Cause of Possible Legal Bat-| tle of Rival Promoters. ANTAM Champion Pete Herman's | busy ttle contract signing pen, | or maybe it’s that of Manager Goldman, may furnish sufficient rea- on for calling off the Herman-Joe Lynch bout scheduled for Madison Baquare Garden Deo, 22, It has caused = mix-up among rival promo‘ers and Managers already. Herman is at prosent under con- tract to the International Sporting: but it seems that in seeking ; h here before leaving on Jan. % }for England, where he is to meet Jimmy Wiide, he gave little though* ‘Y his obligations to the International Sporting Club. As things stand now the International can prevent Her-| - Man's appearance at the Garden if| they wWan* to and may resort to the “law in the case, unless Herman and _ this manager show some sign of good faith in the matter. + The International Sporting Club has had Herman signed up for some time, wut when Gov. Smith recently coincided with his Armory Board of Commissions in forbidding boxing contests in Armory buildings it re- leased him from his contract *em- porarily, Herman had been offered jehance to box Joe Lynch on Dec. ‘@t the Garden, and the International Club saw no gvod reason why it Should prevent him from accepting the offer. The Lynch match in 4 time was announced and much fus Was made about it, but suddenly Jack Sharkey, who had previousiy ‘arranged fo sai! abroad to box Wilde, even with a broken hand, changed his plans. Herman was side tracked and Sharkey was given “the shot" at Lynch. He took it and was knocked “out in the fifteenth round. + ERMAN and his manager were naturally upset about the whole business. They were go- ing back home to New Orleans, to England, or fo any old place. They , were sick of waiting around, they © yowed ‘hey were through with the Garden, would never box there, no matter what the terms. They might have been on their way to England but for the Lynch match, out of which Sharkey froze them. They ‘would bind themselves then and there to the In‘ernational Sportin Club and abide by whatever terms {t imposed. Thereupon Herman and Goldman signed a new contract, placing their services at the disposal of the International Sporting Club until June, when it will be time for open air shows. They were perfectly contented with conditions, one of swhich was that the International Club would pay their hotel bitls for the time intervening before their de- parture for England on Jan. 28 aa scheduled. Everything satisfactory aside frem @ little loss of time, you’ say, but 4 just. about this time a Leonard- . Ritchie Mitchell bout was in the mak- » ing and a date of Dec. 2 or 22 was picked for it. There was no thought of a Herman-Lynch match. Herman was “tied up” with the International porting Club anyhow. What looked like a slight hitch in the Leonard-Mitchell arrangements held this match up temporarily, it seemed, Leonard wanted 4 per cent, of the gate, but Rickard thought 35 percent. enough, considering that he was giving Mitchell 20 per cent. Tex | gaid tho promoters were entitied to| something. Two or three sessions be- tween Rickard and Manager Gibson | \ followed, but nothing in the way of! . Leonard's 40 per cent. developed. The match finally blew up in smoke. ITH an open date on his hands, Rickard had to think up an- other match—Herman and| uynch. What could be better, a ebampionship attraction, especially | after Lynch had just knocked Sharkey out. Ht sought Henman and Manager Goldman, and apparently had no irouble in doing business with them, | The International Sporting Club *wasn't consulted in the matter at all. | When news of the substitution of | Herman and Lynch for Leonard and| Mitchell became public, there was a/ general squawk. Gibson went up in the alr and said things which we will Ye very careful not to repeat here. They wouldn't sound like Gibson any- how, The International Club also had @ grievance, especially after its sportsmanlike treatment of Herman, There the matter stands, quite a muddle, and up to to-day nobody knows what will be the outcome. Gibson bas a big kick coming, he thinks, so has the Internat.onal Sporting Club, and Rickard has a dantamweight champion match and possible trouble with the Boxing Com- mission over it. stealing two laps right off the! reel, almost on the first day, Brocco and his teammate, Coburn, have revolutionized the promotion of #ix-day races. Years ago it was con- #idered fatal to the drawing power of the grind to have & lap stolen at any “time before Thursday or Friday, Tho _ oidtime promoters felt that once a fees jeome gained a lap the race was a over as far as the paying = was We be! x OUT BETWEEN HERMAN e a ater ¢ THE EVENING WORLD, WED NESD y MAA ER AY, yen) 7 EMBER 8, 1920.

The size of practice squads for college teams is surprising every one. In one day alone fifty men reported for Har- vard’s team, Not so long ago they fairly had to lassoo young men at | Cambridge to get them to the basket- ball court. Like Harvard, other institutions ‘have reported a big increase in basket- ball candidates.
