May Train at Arcadia
Nelson may train at Lucky Bald
wins ranch. The battler and his man-
ager were taken to Arcadia by Man
ager McCarey yesterday and shown
over a few of the numerous acres
which make up the Baldwin ranch.
After gazing at the mountains on all
sides. viewing the orange groves and
meeting Lucky" Baldwin the battling
Dane decided that if he could make the
arrangements necessary he would
pitch his tent in that vicinity.
The meeting between the ring cele-
brity and the aged race horse breeder
and famous sportsman was an inter-
esting spectacle.
When Lucky" Baldwin took the
hand of the pride of Hegeswich he said
that while he was delighted to meet
him he really believed that he was
over-rated. Nelson promptly chal-
lenged the czar of Arcadia to a fistic
combat and was floored with the reply:
81 may not be able to put you out
with the gloves, young man; but if
you'll make it a rough house affair
I'll bet you 100000 on the side l get
the decision"
The veteran, who has furnished four
American derby winners and has won
more classics and bigger Wagers on
the American turf than any other liv-
ing man, extended a cordial welcome
to the lightweight champion, but quail
fed the welcome with the assertion
that if Nelson should train on the
Baldwin ranch it was probable that
the public would accuse him. Baldwin,
Of pulling off a prize fight for his own
exclusive edification.
The location is ideal. in that the
fans will be enabled to visit the train
ing quarters at pleasure; whereas, If
Nelson should train at Catalina they
would be deprived of this privilege.
Today Nolan and Nelson will visit
Fairview and investigate the possi-
bilities Of that location, but unless un-
foreseen changes are decided upon the
plans for training at Arcadia will be
carried out
Herrera Arrives
Herrera arrived in Los Angeles on
schedule time yesterday morning, com
ing from Bakersfield via the mule
route, and after hitting the city limits
he aroused Manager McCarey and noti-
fed him that the mule and its cargo
would be uptown in a few minutes.
When the Mexican appeared on
Spring street near the fight Office he
! was greeted with cheers from a band
of faithfuls who have tackled their
money to his chances of defeating the
Dane, and Battling Nelson was one
of the spectators at the arrival scene
After Herrera had pulled UP his mule
ship and said hello" he removed a
black cigar from his mouth and said:
Hello, Bat, you foolish Dane; you've
come out here to lick me. have you q!
L thought you had got enough of that
business up at Butte"
Nelson climbed aboard one of the
mules and spectacularly shook hands
with the fellow who proposes to y to
knock off his head May II for a con-
sideration of the winners share of the
$4,000 purse, and they engaged in a
beautiful bantering match for few
moments.
After they had been snapshotted in
Vulnerable times they alighted and en-
tertained the audience with tales as to
how easy the other fellow appeared
and ordered their respective friends to
rush away and get big bets down at
