V__/ I N Y” HERMAN and Ills manager, Jack I.ewls. plan to shake the dust of Omaha and vicinity from their brngans next week and hop a rattler for "Sunny" Call fornla, where they will make a tour of the west coast fight center*. H e r m a n’s 1® round decision over Martin Burke hi the main event of the South Omaha Eagles’ program last night has boosted "Tiny’s" stock. At least I.ewls and company look at it that way. "Bring on Charley Welnert," chirp l,ewis and Herman at the same time. Welnert, yon will remember, Is the Newark (N. J.) heavyweight who very neatly trimmed Ixiui* Angel Kirpo in a U-round bout In the east some time sgo. Herman beat Burke last night at the latter’s own game—Infighting. The New Orleans heavyweight did not show anything against Her man. He seemed more ineliiird to "tin-can It,” to use the parlance of the fight game. Only once during Hie bout, and thn! happened in the eightli round, after lie had been warned to gel out and flgh., did Burke show any great signs of fighting. "Tiny." on ths other hand, was the aggressor after the fourth round and .tried his hest to make Burke aland up and fight. The southerner's ahtl Itv- to tie Herman up end then hit "Tiny" with his free hand caused him to lose many points during the fight. The decision, which was rendered by "Curley" llricli of St. Paul, was applauded liy some and booed by some, all of which is expected of an Omaha fight crowd. In our opinion Herman won the victory. He didn't beat Burke liy a mile or two nr even a half block, hut lie was Hie aggressor throughout the 10 rounds and didn't hold Ills op ponent like Martin did. Those lliings count in annulling up a fight. The sorrel lopped Burke started out strong and w-e gn\e him the edge in (ha llrsl three rounds In the fourth things were ehmit 'Even Stephen.” (rom then on until the finish we "liked" Herman because he was I he aggressor and was willing to stand up and light. Burke didn't ssem like he wanted to epend the eienlng lighting Herman. Heavyweights as a rills don't please like the box fighters of thn lighter ill visions. Herman mid lluike were no exception. The fight started out as a sort of an Infighting affair and ended that way. Burke would tie Harman lip In more knots than a sailor could tie a rope Into Btnl then smack "Tiny" with Ids light, or sometime* his left. Just as he thought beet would still the ' occasion. Hlnrltng In I lie fifth round Unman gave Mr. Iturk" III for 1st at In fighting making the freckle faced Nsw Orleans fighter back up. Burk* but In the fifth, sixth, seventh and was warned several times for his holding tactics hut didn't pay any at tention to the referee. A short time before the bell sounded for the round to end, Burke caught “Tiny'' on the jaw with two stinging rights. Her man absorbed the wallops and sunk his left Into Martin's “tummy." The blow nearly doubled Burk^ up. In the sixth round Herman gave Itiirke su awful heating about the kidneys. He pushed the fight hard in this round and tried Ills level best to shoot over the ol' sleeping tonic, hut the southerner was guarding his jaw too well for “Tiny" to do any great amount of damage. There wasn't a whole lot of damage done liy either heavyweight. Herman took an awful beating in the stomach, but not any more of » walloping In tlie mid-section than Burke received. Both appeared pretty tired at the fin ish null, no doubt, tlie sound of the linal bell was sweet music In the ears of both fighters. Herman crawled Into the ring weighing 119 pounds, little less Ilian a locomotive, while Burke's weight was announced at lHHj pounds, take It or leave it. The semi windup ended as was ex peeled with ''Sailor'’ l.lston winning by a knockout over “Navy" Rostan In the third round of a scheduled 10 round bout. Poor ol’ "Navy" was Just a wee bit of a shadow of his former self,' the shadow of the "Navy" R tan who fought In Omaha three or four years ago against such boys as Johnny Sudenherg. Jtinmy Delaney and the ltke. Liston didn't have any trouble with heating "Navy." knock ing him out in the third round with a series of lefts and rights to the jaw and stomach. Poor ol' “Navy." It was some time before he came bark from dreamland. A very promising young middle weight stepped Into tlie ring In the second preliminary In the person of Kverett Strong of Spencer. Is. Mr Strong scored a technical knockout over Jack Schaeffer of Omaha In tlie fifth round of a scheduled six-round bout. Kverett showed Jack more gloves In those five rounds than the latter ever thought were manufaf turert. Strong danced around Schaeffer and perked away with a right and tlion with a left. Several times lie cut loose a it uppercut that jarred Jack from tlie top of Ills beau to the farthermost |m>IiiI of Ills heels. In the third round Strong lllleit Scliaef ter's face so full of leather that .lack got tired and sat down on the floor, lie was still sitting III the cornel when the bell rang. Twice in the llftli round Schaeffer went down. Tlie last time he wen! to tlie flm/r Beferee l Irlrh gave Strong the limit. A likely looking youngster Is Strong. V pair of heavy weights came to gether In the first bout. Kd Levan sky of Omaha, former amateur boxer, met Tony Dolan, addi ees Des Moines Dolan scored a technical knockovtt over Levensky In tha third round of a six-round hnut. Jack Klirnne, a colored battier, who wore silk trtinka, held up by bright ted ami yellow ribbon, and Jack Menlo of Council HluiTs, appeared In a four-round s|mm ial bout. Klirntie won the derision.
