1856 o'clock this afternoon, coming di-
rect from El Paso, where they spent
Sunday and attended the bull fight
across the line in Mexico.
The battling Dane will not establish
training quarters until Nolan has taken
a look around" with view to select
ing the best suited to the requirements
of Nelson in training for the fight of
his life.
Nolan recently stated to eastern news
papers that he would take Nelson to
Catalina to train until one week before
the fight date, when he would be in
stalled in temporary quarters IN Los
Angeles for the finishing touches.
However, Nelson may change his
plans after arriving and Investigating
the other places at his disposal, all of
which are near to Los Angeles and easy
of access. In any of these places Mel
son could train up to the hour OF the
battle, if he so desired
1t is argued by some that Catalina
offers unsurpassed facilities and an
ideal climate and surrounding condi-
tions not to be had elsewhere, and IL
Nolan takes this view of things after
making his Investigations it is probable
that the island resort will be the scene
of Nelson's workouts.
removed from the city so that Bat
would have his forenoons and nights
to his lonely, mountains to climb and
bathing facilities contribute to the ar
guments in favor of Catalina, and No
Ian may not make any change in his
plans.
1t will be several days, however. be-
fore Nelson will go into training, as the
battle is six weeks off and the Dane
has recently been in the ring and In
good condition, all of which makes
long period of training less necessary
to put him in tiptop trim for doing
his best against Herrera.
1t is probable that Nelson and Nolan
will remain in Los Angeles for several
days before moving into training quar-
tiers and fight fans will have ample
opportunity of seeing the conqueror OF
Britt.
Britt Is Coming
Jimmy Britt yesterday telegraphed
to Manager McCarey that he would
do his training work at Santa Monica
if the quarters at the beach could be
had and instructed McCarey to reserve
them for him.
This effectually disposes of the stories
telegraphed out of Frisco to the effect
that Jimmy was dissatisfied with the
matches made by McCarey for dates
before and after his date with Herman
and that he probably would call off his
local engagement for Fiesta week.
Few local sportsmen placed any faith
in the story and have lost no sleep be-
cause of fear that Britt would call off
the battle with Herman, and their faith
in the native son has been justified by
the telegram above referred to.
Britt is a coast idol and is always
,.,I, IN, crtf, hot
Manager McCarey believes he will have
as big 4 house as Nelson and Herrera.
Jimmy need have no fears that his
scrap with Herman will not draw or
that it will be materially affected by
the other cards on the schedule of the
Pacific Athletic club.
The story evidently was conceived IN
jealousy and sent out i'll the hope that
since the fight trust has been skinned
to FRAGILE by McCarey it would place
a few stumbling blocks in the local
managers pathway.
While the members OF the fight trust
are busily engaged in defending them
selves in the courts on charges grow
ing out of the Neil -Tenny bout and the
500 900 damage suit which followed
McCarey has been busy arranging the
greatest fight card ever framed for any
city ut one time by one club.
The trio of attractions secured and
nailed down by McCarey is unbeatable.
Never in the history of the fight game,
especially in modern days, has any club
arranged three contests of the import
ance and attractiVeness OF the McCarey
card for Fiesta week.
Neil VS.. AtteII First
The first card to be offered will be
oil Ia
weight championship of the world
scheduled for April 20. This mill will
be watched with great interest through
out the civilized world. inasmuch as
worlds title will be at stake and the
| battlers are recognized as the king
| pins in their division.
frankie Neil was once bantam cham
pion of the world, but journeyed across
| the pond and acquired the "hooks" In
| the dignified manner for which the
| English fight promoters have deserved
! ly become famous
Joe Bowker, the English champion,
defeated frankie, but has since become
| too heavy to box in the bantam class
and has graduated into the feather
weight division.
Attell is holder of the featherweight
championship and is recognized as the
cleverest little battler in training. Phil
adelphia Jack O'Brien says that Attell
is the king OF all boxers, big or little.
The Neil-Attell battle will be at
| tractiVe because it will bring together
a boxer and a fighter for championship
honors Neil is clever with the gloves,
/ but wins his fights because he is a
slugger and a glutton for punishment
| Attell also owns a punch. but his ef-
| fectiveness lies in his ability to find
| the right spot and pat the punch there
Both are game to the core and are
accustomed 10 winning their fights
When they mix it April 20 the mixing
process will be a sight worth travelling
many miles to witness and there are
hundreds vino will do this very thing.
Britt VS.. Herman
The second card on McCarey's pro-
gram will be the Britt-Herman scrap
which is down for decision May 8 and
will be the first of the Fiesta week
attractions.
Despite stories sent out from Frisco
to the effect that this bout was in dan
ger of being called off, it is doubly
assured by the telegram from Britt
to McCarey regarding training quar-
| terS for the native son,
