Los Angeles herald., 1906-04-04

Nobody in Los Angeles has anv kicl,
coming because Nolan fell out with the
fight trust, especially after learning
that there was another side to the
story sent out by the fight trust press
agents.
Nolan has been in Los Angeles part
of one day and all night and no par
| ticular disturbance has been noted
| further than the commotion caused by
the arrival of the battling Dane and
| his manager and inasmuch as they
ccme upon a cordial invitation, even
solicited by money. 1t is probable that
business will continue unabated and
the peace and dignity of the city gen.
orally will not be seriously fractured.
Will Go to Catalina
Manager Nolan said last night that
he and Battling Nelson would go to
Catalina Thursday morning and remain
at least two weeks. The trip from New
York was wearying and they need rest
and quietude more than any other
one thing.
1t is about decided that Nelson will
not establish training quarters on the
island, but will rest there for an indefi-
mite period and return to Los Angeles
in ample time for such training stunts
as Nelson will require to get into con-
dition for the battle May II.
Nelson is in excellent trim now and
weighs close around 1856 pounds, which
means that he will not be pushed to
make the weight 131 pounds He is
hard and Nolan says that Bat could
be ready to fight for his life in three
days.
When he weighed In for the battle
with Terry McGovern a few weeks ago
he tipped the beam at 1902 pounds and
was in tiptop condition. He keeps him
self in condition al all times and only
ordinary work is required to flt him for
d gruelling bout.
He will not neglect his training, how
ever, and will get down to hard work
within fortnight, not being content to
take ordinary chances with the hard
hitting Mexican whom he recognizes as
dangerous foe.
After the return from Catalina it is
probable that training quarters will
be esta blished near Los Angeles and
easy of access. A corps of trainers
and sparring partners will be on hand
to assist in polishing off the champion
for the battle.
Herrera Coming
sonny" Jacobs, manager of Herrera,
met Nelson and Nolan at McCarey's
office and they swapped compliments
d la taffy for a few moments, and ia
GODS was llluCn pleased at IHe Cblllpli-
passed upon Herrera by Nelson
and Nolan.
There was no exhibition of "joshing"
and no unpleasant scenes between the
rival managers, and judging from the |
pretty things each said of the other |
the meeting was a love feast, pure and |
simple.
Jacobs announced that courier from |
the bushes had arrived and that Aure-
lilo was aboard a burro and would ar
rive at Greenewald's cigar store. which !
is the ticket office of the Pacific Ath
letic club, between 10 and II o'clock this
The difference in the modes of trans
portation by which the rival battlers
put in their appearance in Los Angeles
is strikingly in contrast. Nelson came
into the city aboard an observation car,
with his feet nestled amongst uphol-
stored things. Herrera will come aboard
a mule, with his feet nestled in muddy
stirrups. Spectacular?
Nelson and Nolan will be in the front
row of the delegation of fans that is
expected to form the impromptu and
self appointed reception committee and
the meeting of the scrappers is awaited
with keen anticipation.
In a letter received yesterday by
Manager Jacobs, the Mexican says that
