NELSON DELAYS SIGNATURE
Match Between Battling Dane and
Herrera Not Closed Owing to
Failure to Notify McCarey

Up to late hour last night Manager
Tom McCarey had received no response
from Battling Nelson and his manager,
Billy Nolan, relative to posting a for
felt and signing the articles of agree
ment for the Nelson Herrera match
which is on for Fiesta week.
Herrera has deposited his forfeit
money and the only essential to clos
ing the match is action by Nelson in
making good with his forfeit and sig
nature.
Nelson agreed to make deposit and
sign articles Immediately after being
notified that the match was ON and the
conditions were as agreed upon. All
these requirements have been met by
McCarey and Herrera and it is now
up to Nelson to act or craWfish.
McCarey has no doubt that Nelson
will comply with the requirements at
once and is hourly expecting tele-
graphic advices that he has done so.
When Nelson acts the negotiations are
closed.
Herrera is much gratified at the
prospect of meeting his rival and says
that he surely will even up the score.
The willy Mexican is impatient to get
into training quarters and begin work
and says that he will train for this
battle as he never trained before.
If Herrera will train faithfully he
Will enter the ring in better condition
than at any other time in his life and
when this becomes a fact he will not
lack for supporters.
There are many of the local sports
men who believe Herrera will win
from Nelson and cite the fact that
he is one of the hardest little men in
the ring and can stand more punish
ment than the average battler.
Herrera is also accredited with the
sleep tablet and has exhibited it upon
numerous occasions in his career in
the ring. At fighting, Herrera will be
at no disadvantage with Nelson and
the Mexican is equally as clever as q
boxer and ring general.
McCarey said last night that he ex-
pected favorable news within a few
hours at worst and 1t is probable that
the formalities necessary to close the
match will be observed by Nelson to-

Final steps were taken yesterday and

was made public some weeks ago. A
group of prominent and wealthy Pasa-

cation to be made into the finest golf
course in the country. Next week Will

broken for magnificent club house to
cost $4,000. The electric railway be-
tween Los Angeles and Pasadena,
which Is to cross the Arroyo Seco and

access from both cities. The tract in
which the club house and grounds are
to be placed was bought year ago by

lease with the privilege of a ten-year
renewal.
