Alleged infractions of the training rules are said to have been the cause of the row.

Ruth did not play. There were tears in the voice of Brooklyn Tommy Sullivan last night when he announced that all efforts to match his best drawing card. Kid Kcgan, and Kid Herman for a return bout at the Coliseum, May 6, had fallen through. These boys battled to what the crowd thought was a whirlwind finish, and there was a prevailing desire to find out if-'Kid Herman had done his best on that occasion. Sullivan started rematching proceedings, but was informed by Regan's "next friend" that his man was out of the running and could not battle for three weeks.

Regan is suffering chiefly from disinclination Tf his manager, who, perhaps wisely, has come to the conclusion that Herman did NOT show Why Not?

He covers and stalls through to the limit and lets it go at that. Pride in his title or in his supremacy Is as foreign to him as perfumed soap to a Bolshevik. His title to him is merely a wealth-producer, to be guarded but never risked save dress his boys like human beings Yesterday's Results.
