Herriman Saturday

Wednesday, February 19 1908 -- Heavyweight champ Tommy Burns is criticized for being money-hungry, gathering cash by fighting boxers of questionable credentials over in England. He seems to be avoiding a decision about his next serious fight. Jack Johnson meanwhile waits in the wings for his promised chance against the champ.

Meanwhile Henry Berry, owner of the LA Angels, is on the warpath after some anonymous wag claims that he wears a weasel-skin hat.
