who has held the title for several
years, made a briliant effort through
out the entire distance in defense of
his crown, but he was outclassed
from the opening bell and when the
jtidges announced their decision at
the end of the last round, the crowd
went wild with excitement.
1 At the outset it was apparent that
Herman had drawn a tough assign
ment and that he would have to
travel at top-speed ' to retain his
championship. Lyneh jumped ngni
out in front at .the opening of the
hell and maintained n comfortable
lead in pretty much of every round.
Peter fought desperately to stem the
tiHp. when he realized thathe was
fighting a losing battle, but the Ht-
i tie local candidate ws mn w u
iiff,t ant nroved beyond any
question that he was the better boy.
When the bell sent the boys into
the first round, Lynch started im
mediately with his long left hand
he reoeatedly worked to
Herman's face without a return.
Herman was a finished artist when
ever they came in close, ripping
rights and lefts to Joe's stomach
whenever they came in at close

the rough work and plugged away
for dear life any time he got into

the way he hammered his right and

had the southerner . Worried right
u start. Herman trie a re
peatedly to sneak over the haymaker,
but the wily Joe was always alert
and sneaked away whenever danger
threatened .
The ninth frame was a tough spot
for Peter. Lynch worked him into
his corner after a moment's sparring
anA mm rinse to drooDine ntm
with a solid smash, which landed
flush nn Herman's iaw. The'Itahan
shook for a moment, but recovered
Viimcflf nil irklv and went Dlunging
into his tajl opponent, ready and
willing for more.
In the first preliminary George
Thompson of San Deigo, Cal., got
the judges' decision over Willie
Spencer of Brooklyn in six rounds.
Rav Moore of St. Paul, knocked
out Jimmy Martin in the first round

Frazee Invites

In American League.
New York, Dec. 23. Clnacterh:-
ing as deliberate falsehoods state
ments credited to Ban Johnson rela
tive to the election of directors of
the American league, Harry H.
Frazee, president of the Boston
club, in a letter to Mr. Johnson to
day invited him to resign as presi
dent of the league and declared there
can be no peace while both remain
in the American league.
The statements credited to Mr.
Johnson and to which Mr. Frazee
took exception were: lhe league
had always resorted to the ballot in
stead of using the usual rotation
method of the election of the board
of directors when it was found the
rotation method would bring an un
desirable member to the board," and
"it was the sentiment that two mem-
bers be not brought into the direc
torate as' they attempted to wreck
the American league."
Fratse'a letter continued: '
I had' hoped that you had learned
enmMhlnir In the two Gust vears. and
since the agreement of peace was reached
in cnicago I nave reiraineu irum mak
ing any comment, but upon this un
called for attack upon Mr. Comiskey
and myself, I think it is about time for
you to stop making threats and provs
some of tho many misleading statements
and assertions that you have made, re
gardless of the attitude of anybody else
In the American league. I want you
to know that from this time on, there
can be no peace as far as I am con
cerned, while you and I remain In ths
Amsrlcan league.
If you havp any sense of Justice or
realization of the harm you have caused
base ball, or had one spark of manhood,
or any regard for the game which has
made you possible, you would tender
your resignation as president of the Amer
ican league before causing any further
harm. If you wish to go Into any dis
cussion, either privately or publicly, of
our relations since my connection with
the American league In 1916, I will be
pleased to meet you at any time or place
you mention.
Ban Hasn't Slightest . .
Intention of Resigning
Chicago, Dec. 23. "There is
nothing for me to say except that
I haven t the slightest intention m

patch from New York saying that
Harry Frazee had written the
American league president a letter

Omaha police Wednesday night ar
rested "Young". Rivers, another
"boxer." He was fined $50 by
Police Judge Foster.
Rivers breezed into Omaha" from
Camden, N. J., hj3 home. He came
here early in November in search
of bouts.
According to police, Rivers ran
sacked a locker belonging to a local
fighter and "jumped" a board bill at
the Millard hotel.
George Lamson, Walthill, Neb.,
heavyweight scrapper, was the first
"boxer" to be arrested on a charge
of vagrancy. He was fined $50 by
Police Judge Foster and told either
to get work to leave town. Lamson
left town.
The running in of such "boxers,"
if you wish to put it that way, should
be a help to those followers of the
fistic game who do the right .thing,
though it may be a long time before
they again have the privilege of
boxing in Nebraska.
Their kind must be abolished, no
matter if the well-behaved "boxers"
never step into a ring again.
The San Francisco affair probably
caused the army officials to clamp
the lid down on boxing at the fort
The action of the police here of late
in arresting "boxers" no doubt has
to do with the situation that was
created on the coast by the con
gregation of scores of mediocre
lighters and their followers who
would not work and among whom,
as was recently shown, was a. cer
tain per cent of criminals.
The band of "Blue Law" reform
ers throughout the United States,
who are out to defeat everything that
savors of real sport are making cap
ital out of the rccentunfortunate
death of Michael Shannon in a ring
contest in Jersey City early this
month. They point to this fatality
as a reason why all boxing contests
should be abolished at once.
That the accident to young Shan
non should have happened at this
time, when the joy-killers are assem
bling their forces, is to be more than
regretted. It is fine food Tor the law
changers, but it should not be easily
digested by those who can thinl: out
a subject to an honest and safe con
chsion. Accidents of the kind in all sorts
of sports are common, but it is only
in boxing that they are accentuated
and played up to make people be
lieve that boxing is the most brutal
of all sports. The persons who are
trying to "kill" boxing, in spite of
the fact the government approved of
the sport as a training for the na
tion's fighting men during the war,
forget to look back on the annual
casualty list of foot ball, base ball,
or even golf. Chess, tiddley winks
and marbles are about the only
games in which danger doesn't lurk.

Shelton, Neb., in Dcs Moines next
Tuesday evening and probably will
meet "Strangler" Ed Lewis, cham
pion, on the west coast New Year's
day, although the match hasn't been
definitely settled.
Caddock seems to be rounding into
his prewar form in great style and
once he is the same Caddoc1 who
grappled Zbyszko, Lewis and Steelier
before joining Uncle Samuel's fight
ing forces, he will be a hard man
to beat.
Melady wanted to match his pro

but the Dodge, Neb., mat performer
at present' is in the Fenger Danish
hospital with neuritis in his left arm
and it is doubtful whether he will
be able to wrestle again this winter.
However, Stecher's condition, was re
ported to be improving by hospital
authorities yesterday.
Pesek is confident he will defeat
Caddock next Tuesday. The Shel
