Model Training Camps
McCarey is planning model training
camps for the boys and ii is probable
that they will be established in the
foothills within easy access of the
city. yet so far removed that neither
of the boys will be unduly annoyed by
the admiring mobs which might attend
| the workouts.
At the same time the camps will be
established in locations convenient to
car lines and the public will not be
barred the privileges of witnessing the
workouts, yet surrounded by certain
and necessary precautions for the pro-
lection of the scrappers in their eff
forts at getting into condition.
McCarey's idea is that the boys
should pitch tents in convenient loca-
tons and establish a temporary resi-
/ dence there. Tents of sufficient size
| for their indoor work will be furnished
by McCarey and the boys will rough
| it while training.
If this plan meets with the approval
of the battlers, McCarey will attempt
to establish Jimmy Britt and Kid Her
man in similar camps, all to be To-
Gated within short distances of each
other, yet far enough away to prevent
any undue familiarity between the
uattlers during their training stunts.
This plan would result in the es-
tablishment of a training colony in
the valleys surrounding Los Angeles,
all near to car lines, yet outside the
city, and the fans could easily visit the
several camps without too great incon-
venienCe.
These arrangements will be consid-
cred after the battlers meet in Los An
geles and until that time nothing def
mite can be undertaken. Owing to the
lack of training quarters with all the
desirable facilities for use of the bat
tling squad, 1t is probable that the
plan will be acceptable to all concerned.
Two Big Battles
By closing the negotiations for the
Nelson Herrera match, McCarey has
secured for the Los Angeles fans two
of the greatest battles that could be
arranged
incidentally he has also put a neat
crimp of huge proportions in the plans
of the fight trust, which he has been
bucking with unbroken success of late.
By moving in his own mysterious
way, his crimps to perform, McCarey
closed the Britt Herman match before
the Frisco promoters had any idea such
match was being considered or could
be made.
Likewise he closed the Nelson Her.
rera match before the northern pro-
moters were aware that Nelson was
at all anxious TO come to the coast,
relying upon the runor that he would
go to Frisco in the spring and again
talk fight with Britt.
1t is also a matter of much pride to
McCarey that he was able to outbid
the Philadelphia clubs which had per-
sistently raised his ante every time he
made an offer
BY use of diplomacy and exhibiting
brand of nerve which many have de-
nominated as foohardiness. McCarey
has secured two of the greatest ring at
fractions to be had for his Fiesta week
shows.
The Britt Herman battle will be
staged early in the week, probably
May s. The Nelson-H Herrera affair will
be put on three or four days later,
probably May -.
Both are attractions of more than
local interest and it is probable that
sportsmen from all over the country
will be at the ringside of each scrap.
The bouts are all the more important
because they bring together four of the
greatest lightweights in training. Cans
alone excepted, and will be deemed a
qualifying series for the next big af-
fair, which will be between the win
ners of these two bouts and will be
put on July 4.
Just now and for many months past,
Los Angeles has been the center of
pugilistic attractions and the local
game has been prompted through nom
interference by the element which is
opposed to boxing bouts which toler-
ates the game because Of the clean
manner in which it has been conduct
ed.
