Surnrise In Store

Los Angeles fans who have become
accustomed to witnessing the Mexican
in his crafty style of boxing in the past
have a huge surprise in store for them
when he meets Nelson.
Heretofore Herrera has fought eau
tiously and on the defensive until an
opening was presented for that awful
wallop, and in this style of boxing he
has often appeared at disadvantage,
although never losing.
In the battle with Nelson this style
will be abandoned and Herrera will mix
1t hammer and tongs from beginning to
end When Herrera starts to fighting
in earnest he Is veritable whirlwind,
as he has shown in all the finishes he
has put up in battles here.
The spectacle of Herrera and Nelson
rough housing it throughout Is calcu-
lated to make the battle one of the
fercest and fastest ever shown in the
local ring and for pure excitement 1t
will be without comparison.
Few battlers can step more lively
than Herrera when he becomes inter-
ested and sails in. And with that dan
gerous right always swinging around
loose and ready to hit something he is
one of the most dangerous men in the
world at his weight.
Herrera and Nelson are natural ice
bergs in the ring and neither has ever
been known to lose his head during a
battle, although sorely pressed and In
tight quarters.
With a biff-bang campaign on and
the battle being fought in cool-headed

MAGUIRE DEFEATS KENIST0N
Opening Game In Billiard Match Is
Featured by Sensational Form
Shown by Winner

The qualifying series of balk line
billiard games for the right to play
George w. Kennedy, amateur champion
of Southern California at this style of
play, was begun last night at Henry
Berry's Hoffman parlors, William Ma
guire of Frisco and Frank Keniston of
Los Angeles being the contestants.
Mcguire won in one of the most bril-
liant games ever played in Los Angeles,
and his execution was such that the
large crowd of billiard fans present re-
peatedly permitted their enthusiasm to
break forth in applause.
Mcguire was In rare form and run
out the game of 300 points in twenty
nine innings, making an average of
10 1929 and turning the following high
runs: "a, AZ, 2S, 81.
Remission failed to show his best form
and played as if lacking in practice. IN
twenty eight innings he scored total
of 129, making an average of 1928, his
high runs being % and 10.
Under the conditions of the match,
they will play 1000 points, 300 points to
be played last night; 300 points to be
played tonight and the final block of
400 points to be played tomorrow night.
The winner has been promised a
match game with Kennedy for the
championship, hence this series is in
the nature or qualifying match TO de-
termine upon an opponent of Kennedy
in the championship series which will
be played in two weeks.
Much interest has been aroused
among billiard devotees by these
match games and the attendance In
the past and last night was large and
the progress of the series will be
watched with increasing interest dur
ing the succeeding nights play.
Kennedy is regarded as something of
wizard with the cue and the fans
are seeking to get an accurate line on
the abilities of the men who will play

Herrera Working Hard

Those who entertained any fears that
Aurelio would not train faithfully for
his battle with the Dane are destined
to an agreeable surprise, as the Mexi-
can Is working as he never worked
before.
Strange as it may seem, Herrera can
not find anything too hard to accom-
plish and Is always at work. His prin-
cipal fault in the past has been his
supreme contempt for training, but he
realizes the Importance of this battle
and If he does not win 1t will not be
because he has not trained industri-
ously and faithfully.
Herrera is somewhat swelled up on
the elegance of his training quarters
and becomes interested when discussing
this subject with his friends. He has
equipped his camp in modern style
and is doing the bachelor stunt to a
perfection not usually attained by any
modern-day battler.
The ring which the Mexican has
erected for his sparring bouts is a mar
vel of ingenuity and causes consider
able comment by those who have seen
it. The posts to which the ropes are
fastened are labeled with the names
of the sextet of battlers who are to
furnish excitement and amusement for
the fans during the next thirty days
and a wooden head is placed on top OF
each post.
The Bat Nelson head mas tin ear on
the left side of the face with the word
''tin" printed upon it. Herrera says he
has another tin ear in stock, but will
not place it on the right side of the face
until after May IL, when he predicts
that Bat will have a pair of these tin
ears.
The Herrera camp is at Forty-ninth
street and Central avenue and the fans
flock to this location every afternoon
to witness the work of the Mexican
The fact that Herrera is training in
earnest encourages his friends in the
belief that he will give Nelson the fight
of his life,

Neil Quits Work

Reports from frankie Nel's training
camp at Frisco are to the effect that
the little bantam champion has ceased
training, Is below weight and in the
best condition of his life to engage in
gruelling battle.
frankie required but slight work to
get into condition, as he trained hard
for his mill with Harry Tenny a few
weeks ago and entered training quar-
ters to prepare for his scrap with Attell
In the best Of condition.
Jim Neil will leave for Los Angeles
with frankie tomorrow night, arriving
Thursday morning. 1t is probable that
frankie will box with some of the local
boys or Johnny Frayne, his trainer, to
keep in condition, but his training
period is completed and only such work
as is necessary to keep in condition
will be attempted
Attell Is working every day, but is
now in excellent condition and down to
weight. He Is hard worker in train
ing quarters and his industry in this
line has usually brought home the long
end of the purses he has boxed for.
With his brother Monte to assist him,
Abe has adhered to a daily routine Of
work that has been Of great aid to him
In getting hard and solid of body and
developed his speed, which is at all
times marvellous to those who see him
in action.
1t is assured that both boys will be
fit and ready for the battle of their
lives and because of their recognized
abilities at the game and that they are
both champions a considerable degree
of interest in the affair has developed
and seat reservations are flowing into
the ticket offices in increased volume,
assuring a packed house Friday night.
Tickets will be placed on sale tomor-
row morning at the usual places They
won't last long.

Fat and Sunburned

Nelson's week at Catalina gave net
result of increased, instead of de-
creased weight and a sun-painted face
and body which Is causing the Dane
much worry because it impresses him
as being somewhat Of mar to his
otherwise remarkable facial beauty.
"Hatty" came to Los Angeles yes
terday to lay in a small store of cold
cream and glycerine to begin repairs
on Bats face and until the tan and
freckles disappear Bat will be re-
cluse, so says Nolan
Nolan expected Bat to return from
the island with less weight up than
when he went over, but 1t seoms that
Bat put in most of his time fishing and
bathing and telling stories about the
deer on the island and forgot to per-
form any feats at mountain climbing.
However, his surplus flesh is soft
and Nolan says 1t will be an easy
proposition to work off in three or
four days and when Nelson returns
from Fairview one week from next
Saturday and begins training at Ar
cadia 1t is expected that he will be
near to weight
While at Fairview he will do very
little work, save that which is neces-
sary to reduce, Nolan believing in the
efficacy of a rest cure for the next
| two weeks.
| The first real work at hard training
will begin next Sunday week at Ar
Cadia, his first day in training quar-
ters and it will be daily grind from
that day until he knocks off work the
day preceding the battle with Herrera
| Nelson and Nolan extend Invitations
to the fans to take run down to Fair
view and renew acquaintance. They
will keep open house for the next two
weeks and the latch string will always
be in evidence.

AMERICAN ATHLETES
DISEMBARK AT NAPLES
ONLY TWO APPEAR TO SUFFER
FROM TRIP
Those Who Were Injured While Cross
ing Atlantic Are Recovered Except
Mitchell and HIlIman of New York
Athletic Club
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NAPLES, April 16.-The North Ger
man Lloyd steamship Barbarossa from
New York April and Gibraltar April
49, having on board the American
athletes who are entered to take part
in the Olympic games which begin at
Athens April %, arrived here today.
The men who were injured while
CLOSING the Atlantic, with the excep-
tion of James S. Mitchell of the New
York Athletic club, the weight-putter
and hammer thrower, and Harry L.
Hillman, jr., of the New York Athlete
club, runner, have recovered.
Mitchelrs arm is still in a sling and
may interfere with his competing, and
Hillman's left leg is still bandaged. The
latter is improving and expects to COM
pete at Athens
The Americans landed soon after the
Barbarossa arrived. Some of them Wis
tied the scenes of desolation in the
vicinity of Mount Vesuvius, but the
majority of the athletes, accompanied
by their trainers, practiced running
jumping, ETC., in order to test their
condition afther the voyage. All were
in good spirits and insisted that the
accidents would not appreciably affect
their strength.
Hlllman's injured knee is slightly dis
board the steamer by DIR. Cataras OF
the New York Athletic club. The
doctor massaged the injured part which
greatly assisted in limbering the joint
and restoring the strength of the
tendons.
Mitchell suffered the most from the
sea voyage, remaining in bed three
days after his dislocated left shoulder
had been set by the ships surgeon. He
was able to go about with the rest u
the American party and landed here
today with his arm in a sling.
Although Mitchell considers himself
able to make a showing at Athens and
says he certainly will try for a prize
the other members of the team feaI
that he is badly handicapped.
Referring to the injuries sustained by
Mitchell and himself, Hillman said:
"Only six out of thirty-two of us
were struck by the wave and four OF
these six are again in fine trim. Only
Mitchell and myself are slightly ailing
my right knee is bandaged and 9
little stiff, but it has been greatly inn
proved by massage treatment. 1 hard
ly think it will interfere with my run
ming.
''I took a practice jog today without
difficulty. L hope to be entirely fit in a
few days. The main drawback Is the
interruption of practice"
The Barbarossa also had on board the
duke of Orleans, who boarded the
steamer at Gibraltar. The duke and
duchess of Aosta and many Other
notables were at the pier to welcome
the duke OF Orleans, and band played
the Italian and French national
anthems.

Fans Buying Seats

There is no longer any doubt of the
success of all three of the battles on
McCarey's card for decision during the
next thirty days. Although seats are
not yet on sale for any of the battles,
advance registrations have been made
for all the mills and sufficient advance
orders have been listed to guarantee
success.
The orders already booked for the
Nelson Hererra mill are nearing the
$4,000 mark, and inasmuch as four
fifth of the five dollars seats Gn the
gallery section) have been taken, Man
ager McCarey has taken these seats
off the list and will reserve those not
asked for until the regular seat sale.
The Britt Herman seats are also in
good demand the advance orders total
ing over $4,000 yesterday. The prices
asked for these seats are considerably
less than for the Nelson-Herrera argu-
ment and the advance sale is q COM
pliment to the drawing power of the
little fellows, which means that their
battle will be before packed house.
The advance orders for the Attell-
Neil bout are close to $4,000, which is
the greatest advance sale for any box
ing exhibition ever held at the Maud
junction pavilion, considering the short
time that the match has been made and
the fact that the seat sale Will begin
tomorrow.
Although the Nelson Herrera and
Herman scraps are one month
away and the seats will not be placed
on sale for two or three weeks, the
orders already placed indicate the cor
rectness of McCarey's predictions that
his pavilion would not be adequate to
accommodate those who would want
seats.
When the rush for seats at these mills
begin and after the arrival of the fifty
thousand visitors expected to attend
the festivities of Fiesta week it is be-
lieved that the seats will be taken en-
tirely and that a week before the bat
ties there will be no seats left.

fifth of a second behind the track
record.

financially and sentimentally. When
he led the post procession past one OF
the largest crowds the Aqueduct track
ever held. he was loudly cheered.

after the exciting finish, there was a
tumult or cheer1ng. Ine gameneSS

last furlong won him high regard from
all horsemen and he is held to be a
dangerous factor in the Metropolitan
