RINGSIDE, WATERBURY; Ct., Aug. 27. (United News)
Louis "Kid" Kaplan, late of Omsk,' Russia, now a citizen of
Meriden, Ct., was receiving Thursday night. He received n
fairly stout clubbing from the active knuckles of Babe Her
man, the prune-picking Portuguese of California, and then re
ceived the better of it from the referee, who gave a draw de
cision and saved the featherweight championship of the world
for Kaplan, although from this angle of the ring, it appeared
that Kaplan had lost. . .
v . It was a pretty sprightly fight, but as harmless as a May
pole dance, for Herman rolled far to windward of most of
Kaplan's crude swings at the head, and the Babe's own shots,
which went thudding against Louis, the kid's concrete skull,
were -not the kind which unhinge the knees and starts the

Senators, who despite their enviable title of world's cham
pions, have been acting in a most disgraceful manner, took
another nose dive Thursday. Ami this time it, hurt. Pitcher
Bush beat the Senators in St. Louis Thursday, 5 to 0. allowing
only one hit.
Heretofore, it did not matter that the Senators dropped
games with amazing regularity, fur the Athletics were drop
ping them just a little faster. Hut Thursday the Athletics
were vacationing in Cleveland, and did not play. They are
now but half a game behind the leaders, thanks to the open
date.

expressed the idea that Connecticut's
champion was about to become an
ex-champion. It was the first cham
pionship fight In the state since
young Corbett knocked ont Terry
McGovern, at Hartford, In 1901, so
the Interest boiled high.
Herman's rights to the Jaw were
the most satisfactory blows of the
fight. None of them were heavy
enough to put the champion down,
although one such smash delivered
Jn the fifth round as Kaplan came
pelterlng across the ring, temporar
ily dazed him and made him fling
several left swings which weren't
even aimed at Herman.
