Los Angeles herald., 1905-11-26

attract more than ordinary attention
to the bout.
Both lads are of confident dis
position and are training hard for the
limited battle because each recognizes
in the other an opponent worthy of
consideration.
Herrera VS.. West
The curtain raiser to the Sullivan
Schreck battle will be a six-round af-
fair with Mauro Herrera, brother Of
Aurelio Herrera, and Kid West, an un-
known from Pasadena. They will meet
at 1873 pounds
Herrera has fought fifteen battles
and won eleven of them via the
knockout route. He has never been
defeated and has only fought two
draws. Among the good ones whom
he has defeated is Fred Landers, who
recently fought Willie L .tzgerald twen-
ty-five rounds and was beaten by a
knockout after having all the best of
the fight to the time of the knockout.
Herrera secured decision over Land
ers at San Francisco in the tenth
round.
West has fought eight battles and
won all of them. He is clever and a
good ring general. He was tried out
by Tommy Burns few days ago and
Burns credits him with being a good
man at the game.
Frequently Burns landed stiff
punches to the body and face and
West took them without wincing, al
though he has been out of training for
many months.
This event should be fast and furi-
Gus while it lasts and being six
round affair should be an attractive
card.
Burns Wants Match
Tommy Burns is working out daily
and slowly reducing in anticipation of
getting on a match with the winner
of the Schr sck-Sullivan battle. He will
challenge The winner Tuesday night
Burns has met both these scrappers
and is confident that he will win from
either If given an opportunity. He
will make Sullivan an extraordinary
offer if Twin wins from Schreck. Burns
has TAX 1n to heart his defeat by Sui
livan vhen they met recently and as
serts tlat had he been in condition he
could 'lot have lost.
To eecure return match with Twin,
Burnt will guarantee the winners por-
tion Of the purse to be $275O and will
post a side bet of $500 that he will
win This will make the winners
sh3 re $3250 and remove Twins fears
the t he and Burns would not draw a
paying house for another match
Sullivan IS not averse to meeting any
middleweight in the world if he is as
sured that the match would be profita =
BILE and drawing card. He believes
he is the best battler in that division
and bars none
1t is therefore probable that Burns
will succeed in getting a fight out of
hn n nf nd
McCarey is willing to stage the affair
during December or January.
Neil VS.. Walsh
It is considered probable that frankie
Neil and Jimmy Walsh will be matched
to battle for the American bantam
weight championship before the local
club early in January.
Walsh is anxious to get Neil into the
ring, and has postponed his trip to
England until he has a definite reply
from Neil. McCarey has adjusted con-
ditions with Walsh, and the only hitch
in the negotiations is Neil's demand
for go per cent of the gross receipts
This difficulty bids fair to be re-
moved from further consideration If
plans now on foot mature, and If these
rlans are successfully carried out Nell
will be matched with the Boston boy
before Thanksgiving.
Neil asserts his desire to return to
the ring and defend his title, and Walsh
sprang into great prominence this fall
by defeating Digger Stanley, who is
claiming the English bantamweight
title relinqushad by Joe Bowker.
Digger Stanley has defeated all Eng
lish bantams of any prominence since
Bowker entered the featherweieht class
and his claims upon the English title,
while a technical one. is better than
any other claimant.
This fact lends an international
flavor to the Neil-Walsh battle, and II
II ever occurs the stakes will in reality
