NOTABLES WILL
Be At RINGS|OE
COMING TO WITNESS HANL0N-
HERRERA FIGHT
Jack o'5rlen, Al Kaufman, Billy
Delaney and Billy Jordan Are
on Way From Frisco and
others Are Expected

There will be q gathering Of pugilis-
| tic stars at the ringsde tomorrow night
when Eddie Hanlon and Aurelio Her
rera battle for mastery In their twen-
ty-round affair.
Philadelphia Jack O'Brlen, the law
yer-pugilst who Is matched to fight
Bob Fitzsimmons during the Christ
mas holidays. will arrive today to Wit
ness the mill
AL Kaufman, whose pugiistic star
set when he went out at the instiga-
ton Of O'Brien recently, will be
spectator and Billy Delaney, his man
ager, will sit beside him and view the
battle between the clever lightweights.
Jack Twin" Sullivan is expected to
be at the ringside, but his arrival is
somewhat contingent upon the mood in
which the other twin happens to be
when Jack gets ready to start for Los
Angeles.
Tommy Burns, who wants another
rap at Jack Twin and has Issued
challenge therefor backed by $500
deposit as a guarantee of good faith,
will probably be in Hanlon's corner.
Spider Kelly, the premier trainer and
fighter, will be chief mogu in Hanlon's
corner, having left Frisco last night
for Los Angeles.
Billy Jordan Coming
for all the fight clubs at Frisco and a
national character in legitimate sports,
will come down from Frisco to wit
ness the battle and will give Los An
geles fans a sample of the voice which
has made him famous
And 1t Is not improbable that others
more or less notable in the ring and
sporting world will be present from
Frisco and other points, as no fight
in many months has attracted the at
tentton directed towards the Hanlon-
Herrera scrap from all portions of the
country.
Both little men will step into the ring
in the pink of condition and will be
ready to put up the fight Of their lives.
1t is an important affair to both and
the result will be an epoch in their re-
cords
Yesterday was the final day Of train
ing at the camps at Santa Monica and
San Pedro and today the lightweights
will do only light work. shadow stunts,
rope skipping and bag punching.
Herrera has fully recovered from
the slight attack of la grippe which
caused a postponement of the fight for
one week, and the few days he has
spent at San Pedro have been of great
benefit to him.
Reports from his camp credit the
Mexican with having experienced
wonderful improvement In condition
since moving to the seaside and in his
workouts he has entered upon the
tasks with a vim that he seldom ex-
hibts in training.
Confidence is written all over his
face, and Sol Levinson, his manager,
asserts that 1t will be Herrera from
the tap of the gong.
Eddie Hanlon is also fit and ready
and impatient for the hour of the
Or fn n In had
consistently. and says that he has
never beer in better condition to fight
his best.
Eddie Is Favorite
Eddie rules a slight favorite in the
betting, although this favoritism is so
slight that it is scarcely noticeable.
And the McCarey system Of handicap
ping is again so beautifully evident
that it is improbable that any large
sums will be wagered upon the result
The fight will be preceded by a brace
of preliminaries which are above the
average of such cards. Warren Zu-
brick and Joe German will go on in
the main prelim for ten rounds at mid
dleweights, and this event will be one
of the best fights ever pulled off be-
fore the Maud junction club.
Zubrick. always in good condition,
has trained hard for the battle, and Is
ready to step into the ril &. He ex-
presses himself as entirel satisfied
with his condition and prospects of
winning.
German worked out at Frisco with
O'Brien until last week. when he came
to Los Angeles and has since been
training at the pavilion. He, too, is
without cause for complaint and says
that If he fails to land the winners
end of the purse he will be at a loss
to advance an excuse.
Kid Webster and Terry Davis will
go on for the curtain raiser, fighting
six rounds at 122 pounds. Both boys
are clever and are capable of giving
and taking more than the ordinary
amount of punishment. Both have
large following in Los Angeles and the
bout will be an attractive one and ex-
citing from beginning to end.
