Rumors to the effect that boxing pro
moters OF San Francisco were connect
ed with the backdown of Aurelio Her
rera and his manager, Tommy Jacobs
Friday evening caused Manager Me.
Carey to enter a protest last night il
behalf Of the northern contingent. Nc
Carey said
IT wish to go on record as saying
that l do not believe that the Sar
Francisco people were in any manner
connected with the refusal Of Herrera
to meet Nelson. There Is absolutely
no reason why they should wish to d1
anything of the kind. Since l under
took to go ahead with the contest, moth
ing but expressions of good will have
been forthcoming.
"The idea that they would possibly
wish to throw me down in an effort to
secure the management for themselves
is absurd. San Francisco promoters
have assured me time and again that II
was due to our continuing with the
Nelson Herrera contest that the game
was saved on the coast.
Scores Jacobs
"As for Herrera and Jacobs, they
should be driven from town. i have
not the slightest doubt but that the
Mexican contingent tampered with the
scales in order to avoid weighing in.
The Mexican was overweight and de-
liberately made an attempt to disar-
range the scales
''I had sent word to Jacobs that he
should bring his own scales from the
-, hot
be no conflict when the time for weigh
ing in arrived. 1t is easily to be seen
why he did not do So"
Manager McCarey and Billy Nolan
held consultation yesterday after
noon and as result Nolan will claim
the $1,000 weight money of Herrera this
morning. McCarey holds that one of
the two contingents owes him $1,000 ap-
pearance money and declares that it
lies with the stakeholder to decide
which of the principals shall make the
forfeit
The articles of agreement call for
$1,000 as weight money and $1,000 for ap-
pearance. Nolan holds that Nelson's
$4,000 must be returned in addition to
the $1,000 weight money placed by Her
rera.
II Nolan secures the $4,000 and Nc
Carey gets away with the remaining
$1,000, Jacobs will probably acknowl-
edge that he has indeed been guilty of
q managerial monstrosity.
To say the least a great disgust
exists among those who were so un-
fortunate as to witness the affair al
The pavilion, and while blame centers
uron the actions of the Mexican con-
tlngent. the Tactic Athletic club is
severely ensI:sd for not arranging
proper scales in 4 proper manner.
While such an occurrence as marked
Friday evenings performance was
totally unexpected. and came as a re-
suit of base ingratitude on the part of
one representation nevertheless a
strong sentiment prevails that the
trouble could have been avoided had
painstaking precautions actuated the
management.
Had Herrera failed to make weight
and the battle been deciared off be-
fore the pavilion doors were opened,
such odium as now exists would have
heen uncalied for. Not the slightest
reason is apparent that the local club
was to blame fo- the affair other than
that sufficient care was not observed
In managing the weights.
Shortly after 5 o'clock, when Nelson
weighed for the first time, there was
nothing wrong with the scales in Me-
Carey's office. The best of faith was
manifested on the part of club Off
cials, though carelessness resulted in
Jacobs being allowed to tamper with
the scales before the time for weigh
ing in arrived.
Bat Disappointed
Eat Nelson came in for the, theater
last night with his father, after spend
ing the day at Baldwin's ranch. The
Dane expressed deep chasriI, at not
having met the Mexican FRIDAY night
and. despite She situation which now
exists, irtimatad that he uld re-
1oice at an opportunity to get Herrera
in the ring
"It's the luckiest thing that that In
dian ever did when he quit cold. The
crowd would have stood for anything
when he was squirming Friday night
and what / would have done to him
would be a shame to tell"
Nelson VIII remain at Arcadia until
the forfeit question is decided and is
anxious that his whereabouts be made
known to such as may desire to visit
the former camp.
Nolan yesterday received an offer
from Harry Pollock, the New York
boxing magnate, offering $40, 900 as the
Nelson end of purse for match with
Jimmy Britt. Nolan turned the offer
down and sent word that he did not
consider the financial proposal as
worthy OF consideration.
Those holding the numbers issued
Friday night may receive the valuation
Of their cards by applying at Green
wald's cigar stand this morning at 10
o'clock. ~
Confusion is bound to result and
many are holding numerous coupons
round on the floor of the pavilion after
the battle had been declared off. Those
VINO were so unfortunate as to throw
away their seat checks. at the same
time leaving the pavilion without Sc
curing guarantee of reconpense. are
sadly rejecting upon the proverh
Never throw away your tickets until
the numbers are hung OUT
