HERMAN READY
TITLE
(By H. 0. Hamilton, United PresH) |
NEW YORK, March 20. — Peter
Gulatto, otherwise known as Pete
Herman, the new bantamweight chant
pion, is off to a running start In the
defense of his acquired title. He is
one of the hoys to whom the newspa
per writers point with pride as a youth
who isn't assuming, wants to fight,
and is otherwise an ideal chap.
Whether he'll be able to live a life
of fame without getting the swelled 1
head and a consequent reputation for
using dollars as a bed is something to
be developed In the spring of old man
Time. Right now he has it. It is to
be hoped he sticks by it.
Pete began ills life ns a bootblack
Being a native of Italy, he has noth
ing on several thousand of his coun
trymen who are shining their way to t
fame in the land of the free and the
home of the brave.
There was a bad man, though, bold
character in New Orleans, where Pete
gathered in the nickels, who used to
come around about once a week and
make a collection of nickels and dimes
off the bootblacks. They all paid up
like little men—Pete Included.
One day Pete decided he wanted all
the money he made for his very own,
and he laid for the youth who came |
around after the dimes. He refused <
to shell out, with the result that the |
youth caught Pete one on the chin
and nearly pulverized him. When '
Pete came to he brushed his clothes
started down the street, and when he
found said youth he commenced to !
tight. The youth of the dime and
nickel collection was sent to a host)!
tal. From that time on Pete had his
nickels and dimes and a fighting re
putation. The latter was so good he
decided to put It to use, which he did
with such success that he has towered
over the others In his class to the ex
tent that he now Is champion.
Herman Is just 21. He has been
fighting six years. He stands r> feet
2 Inches and weighs lit; pounds right
along. Some day — off In the future
Pete Is going to have a cafe in New
Orleans. Also, on top Is going to be
a gymnasium. He wants to fight just
now fight 'em nil. A champion, he
believes, should prove It.

(By Associated Press)
8KWARD, March 20. — As a gen
eral utility man, Conductor C. R. Mul
lin, who handles the tri weekly mail
train on the government railroad
north from Seward Is gaining a unique
reputation.
The train of which Mullin is con
ductor is a combination affair, com
posed of one passenger coach and any
number of freight cars. It Is oper
ated this winter from Seward to .Mile
40, for the benefit of the overland
travel and to distribute material to
the construction camps where line
changes are being made on this part
of the old Alaska Northern railway,
now being rebuilt Into the general sys
tem of goveriirfient railroads in Alas
ka. There are about 500 people at
work or living along this forty miles
of line this winter. Not enough to
make it worth while to put if mail
clerk on tho line, so Conductor Mullin
was sworn in as mall clerk.
When asked about his extra duties
not dow'h on the list at headquarters,
Mullin said: “The fare Is K corns a
mile on Uncle Sam's railroad In Alas
ka (It is ten cents -on tho private lines
in the territory), and as it also costs
quite a lot to talk long distance
through the Seward telephone ex
change, most of the ;7(I0 find It cheap
er to have the conductor transact their
business in town.
"I keep a little note book and jot
down all my errands. Sometimes It
takes a couple of hours after I report
to do all the necessary running
around. Here's a page for one trip,
so you can see for yourself."
The page Included the following
items: (exchanging a pair of shoes for
lady for a size larger; matching a
piece of calico for a lady at Mile 34,
who wanted two yards more; four or
ders for bills of groceries and two
for meat "to come on the next train,"
and “two-bit book stamps for K.-,
C. O. D."
