MILWAUKEE,. Wis, Sept. S.-The
scandal anent the defeat of Aurclio
Herrera by Charley Neary shows no
sign of downing. When the boys met
at Milwaukee the other day and Her
rera was SO badly beaten up that his
seconds threw up the sponge in tho
seventh round, pugilism received one
of the biggest surprises of years But
Neary WAS not permitted 10 enjoy the
credit Of victory without protest Her
rera set up u howl that he had been
Jobbed into making weight too hur-
riedly and that he had entered the

that he Wns not TO be forced 10 live

Mexican Makes His Plea.
Not until two DAYS before the fray,
Herrera snys. was ne notified that the
club expected him TO make the weight,
and that Near refused to enter the
ring unless the Mexican was down TO
l33. Herrera says he protested. but il
was pointed out TO him that in view
OF the fiasco at Los Angeles, in which
the Mexican got all the blame for the
match with Nelson falling through, he

point the public and get away with it.
Making Weight Weakened Him.
In two days, Aurelio AYERS, he took
off seven pounds, weighed in at the
specified weight, but was too weak to
fight and was whipped He charges
the Neary people with deliberate plot
TO beat him by unfair means. This; OF
course, the friends or the Milwaukee
fighter deny, as do they also a report
that Herrera had been drinking heavily
the day of the scrap and was drunk
when he entered the ring Some who
were az the ringside lean to the be-
lief that the Mexican was inebriated.
They point out that the Bakersfield
boy seemed hardly TO know how TO
hold up his hands; that he ran around
the ring in an aimless manner, and
between rounds invariably trotted TO
the wrong corner and once sat down
on Neary's lap and tried to kiss
him.

Many OF the rows which have occurred
in several OF the leagues the past few
months can be traced directly 10 this
illegitlmate coaching, The trouble at
Pittsburg between Players McGnnity OF
New York and Peitz OF the Pirates was
the result of dirty" coaching methods
Instead of coaching In a legitimate man
ner, Peitz used personalities that so an
gered McGinnity that he attacked the
Pittsburg player on the grounds and
free fight ensued. That would not have
occurred had the umpires been instruct
ed TO permit no such coaching in the
first place.
The effort OF many coachers TO try and
rattle pitchers by hurliug personal abuse
at them should be frowned upon by all
true sportsmen. II is most unsportsman-
like. and ii ball teams must resort to
such methods TO win games then they
had better go out OF business entirely
