bantamweight in the -world, without
quibbling about minor details of
weight, or purse, an announcement
which will cause him to be black
balled by the champions' club, an
organization which insists on cham
pions not risking their titles under
any consideration.
The duties of a champion nowa
days seem to be to pick setups, get
the guarantee before they step into
the ring and then tango through 10
rounds of the poorest fighting pos

the opposite. He says he will meet
all comers and so far has not men
tioned money.
There are plenty of good bantams
eager to get a shot at Herman's title.
Among them are Frankie Burns, who
knocked Herman out about a year
ago, and Prankie Browns, who holds
a newspaper decision over the cham
pion. If Herman takes on these boys and
Ertle he is sure to have his hands
full for the rest of the winter.
