FEAR BANTAM TRUST SEEKS TO FREEZE OUT HERMAN, TWICE KING By IRWK G. JIFAKK Apparently the bantami in the Gotham district have formed a outhful trust for the 'single purpose of according to Pete Herman one extremely, chilly freeze-out. It would eeeni that they've about de

cided that Herman, having been the champion twice, has spea.red' all the titular V'ory that is his portion and that he'll get no more cracks at the crown. llarfcen to the "inside story" nf the working?, as detailed by Sam Goldman, manager of Herman: "Johnny Buff and Joe Lynch met in Madison Square Garden, New York, on Nov. 10. When the articles were susrned Buff asreed that if he success-; fully defended title he would meet any other bantam under Rickard's promotion with the exception of Herman. And Lynch apreed that if he won the championship he would defend hi3 crown within a certain period of time, under Rickard's promotion but specifically stated that he wouldn't' fight Herman. "Just why Rickard permitted these fellows to agree to such an unfair proposition, I don't know. Certainly Herman, opposed to either one, would constitute the best drawing around New York. Steer Clear of Pete. "I wrote a letter of protest to Itiek-j aru. 1 wanted to Know wny Herman was being frozen out of a chance to regain the championship. Rickard, In his reply, said: " 'Nothing would please me beter than to see Pete get another chance against the champion and the other boys, but. it's one thing to wish this and another to accomplish it because other bantams seem to steer clear of Pete.' " Goldman continued: "It seems to me as it must to every fair minded man involved in the boxing game that barring Herman is ihe frankest admission In the world that they can't beat him that they are afraid nf htm Buff won the championship from Pete on a night, when Pete wasn't him- j self. Pete was half sick but insisted upon going into the fight rather than! disappoint the crowd. The handicap! of illness was too much for him. and he lost the decision, although there are countless fans who insist that the verv worst that should have happened to him was a draw. Willing to Bet "Right here and now I stand readv to bet $10,000 that Pete can beat Cuff if thy fight again and an additional $10,000 that Pete will knock him out. And that $20,000 goes at even money. And then I'll bet another $10,000 that Piiff and those who are piloting his affairs haven't the courage to take thoe bets. "Buff won on a fluke and the fact that he has side-stepped Pete sinc proves beyond dispute that he's afraid to tackle Pete again. If he isn't and he thinks he can repeat, he can get S20.000 in betd from me, $150,000 moro from Petp's admirers and the purse beside". What more can he ask? Great Drawing Card. "Pete Herman is now, as he has been for years, the greatest drawing among the bantams identified with the game. When the present eh impion specifically agrees that he will not fight Herman he is flagrant ly violating the rmes or trie lioxmg Commission of the State of New York. For these rules state that the champ inn must defend title against the best logical and available opponent. "Pete Herman is available. If it were left, to a vote of fandom as to who is the title holder's most logical opponent, P9 per cent would write out. the name of Pete Herman. Yet the. champion just now has raised the bars against Pete? "When Pete was champion he barred no one. He fought them all. He gave Lynch a char'-e and he gav-3 a winning one to Buff. Now the champion bars him. It's a situation not merely unfair to Herman but upfair to the boxing public and one which, continued, will do ghastly harm eventually to boxing.'
