Joe Gans Defeats Herman in Eighth Round for Lightweight Title
Champion Joe Gans dominated Kid Herman of Chicago in their lightweight title defense, stopping Herman in the eighth round after a relentless attack. Gans, smiling through the bout, landed repeated blows to the face and jaw as Herman showed cuts and a bleeding nose, admitting Gans was cleverer than expected. Rumors of inactivity proved false as Gans pressed from the start, and offlook eyes on a potential $20,000 bout with Jimmie Britt, with Tex Rickard also proposing $50,000 for a Gans Nelson clash.

Old Time Sluggers Made The Ball Smoke In Batting Debate
The piece quotes Jake Beckley of the St. Louis Cardinals arguing that the 1880s and 1890s produced three or four mighty sluggers, with players like Brouthers O Neill Browning Anson Connor and Orr delivering real power. He notes scoring changes over time would have boosted old hitters’ tallies and that Wagner and Lajoie compare well with early stars. He contends modern and old eras both had strong hitters but old times may have fewer elite sluggers.
