TO the articles of agreement. the men
are to meet az l2S pounds, give or take

within the weight, the Mexican Is some
pounds over, lie did some road work

to do additional work today. Herrera

not be In better condition than is the
niue local boy. Jacobs splendeid physi-
cal condition and Herrera's overweight
and the fact that he has had many re-
cent fight, and the last one the hardest
OF them all, has raised the stock of
Jacobs.
Well I've seen the Mexican, and he
does not appear to be inyincible," said
Jacobs today, "and ! believe It is posi-
BILE to knock him out"
Herrera claims he Is feeling all right,
