DEFEND TITLE jys' Holder of Doubtful Bantam Weight Championship to Face Dutch •Brandt In New York Tonight. TO VINDICATE HIMSELF Wants to Prove His Rights to Crown Won In Recent Bout With Kid Williams, Former Champion. fBY H. a HAMILTON] [United Press Staff Correspondent, NEW YORK, March 13.—rPete Her man. who defeated Kid Williams and came into a doubtful bantamweight championship a. short time ago, will make his first appearance in New York tonight when he faces Dutch Brandt, a local miniature. Pete is here to vindicate himself. He wants to prove to New York where they have come to be Mlssouriana when fights are considered that John ny Ertle isn't a champion at all, foul in Wisconsin or no foul. Herman has Referee Rocap's decis ion to back up his claim to the crown, while the official who stopped a bout between Williams and Ertle never did make a- decision. Herman is a tiny lighting machine, built like a heavyweight champion. His hands are big and his shoulders are round and smooth. He is pleasant in conversation, JuBt like all cham pions, he is a youth who trains every minute be is in a gymnasium- If he should lose his recently acquir ed crown tonight he will at least leave behind him the memory of a champion who didn't ask that a section of the moon be fenced oft for his benefit be fore he fought and he would leave the impression of a lighter who can fight— a fighter who is willing to fight.

H'A .A '"j RAP IS TAKEN AT DARCY Americans Will Never Desert Their Country in the Hour of Need,'^v Says promoter of A a 7 "'sAi OH3CJAOO, III., March 3.—Jioxera and wrestlers of Chicago and its en virons are rounding up for military service in case this country finally comes out of. its corner and mixes in the European free for all. Prac tical patriotism has seized the gene^l run of glovestexs and matsters, who declare that if a call (to arms and fists is sounded by the referee at Washington they will be among the first of the civilian horde to scramble through th© ropes. Patriot Barney Lidhtensteln, a familiar figure in local sporting cir cles, has taken upon his own should ers the preliminary work of recruit ing the fistlcuffers and 'scissor ex perts. Recently he assured Captain Franklin Kennedy and Lieutenant L. M. Stevens. In charge of the army and navy recruiting in this city, re spectively, that a whole battalion of boxers and wrestlers could be lined up in this city. None of the athletes, said Patriot Barney, is going tp glv§ any one a chance to intimate that he Is a "slacker." Ready for (Military Service. "There Is no disposition on the part of the boxers and wrestlers to dodge military servdoe," said Llch tenstein. "There will not be a 'slack er* In the whole bunch of them. What happened to Les iDarcy at the hands of Governor Whitman in New York will never oocur to the scrappers in this neck of the woods. "If there is a declaration of war the gladiators hereabouts -will be the first to grab up the rifles or stretch ers or whatever they may be fitted to handle. The enthusiasm among the boys is sky high. And don't forget that the ring artists would be first class fighting men, too. Most of thesn are In fine physical condition and they wouldn't mind the hardships of the service." 'Patriot Lichtensteln told the mili tary officials that Charlie Metrle, Georgle' Adams, Jimmy Walsh, "Rab bit" Hedlln and "Spike" Kelly of his stable stood ready to put on the harness of war and gallop into action whenever the word was given. "Kid" Howard, manager and train er of boxers, says that all the men doing workout stunts at the Arcade have displayed eagerness to be In line for military service if the coun try needs them. r.. J. Boxers Awaiting a Call. "There can be no doubt as to how the hearts of the boxers beat," said Howard today. "Every one of the men—'bantam, feather, lightweight, welter or heavy—stands ready to be among the first In the lineup when the government issues a call for vol unteers. The fine condition of the men would make them available for hard work right at the start and I believe every one of them would make the country proud of him." The boxers argue that since they are fighting men they should be ex pected to be among the first to offer services to the government promot ers. "We'd be a fine bunch of skates," said a young west side bantamweight, "if we didn't line up for the gaff at the front. My old man used to carry a hod, so I see no reason why I shouldn't be qualified to carry a gun. Last summer at Riverview I pllnked the target nine out o' ten times in the shootin' gallery, which doesn't speak well for the future plans of our enemies. I can 'right face' as well as I can 'right uppercut,' and if It ever comes to the goose step I can show "em the niftiest little duck waddle y' ever seen." "Doc" Krone, who will be 400 pounds heavy if he doesn't give up the marshmallow habit, says he will do the patriotic thing, even if.he has to serve as breastworks.
