Herrera Has Hardest
Punch, Says Nelson
Mexican Credited with Most Wicked
Swat Of All Ring Fighters by
Battling sweds.

in talking over his fights recently. said
that Herrera had the hardest punch OF
any man he ever met in the ring Look
over my record" said the Dane They
could all hit-Splder Welch Martin Cabole,
Eddie Hanlon. Young Corbett. Terry Me-
Govern. Joe Cans Dick Hyland. Aurello
Herrera. Ad Wolgast and owen Moran
But Of all this list Of knockout artists the
hardest puncher and most vicious fighter
was the Mexican, Herrera
Herrera was peculiar type. He would
come at you all covered up. Roth hands
would be leaning against his own jaws
and his elbows would be protecting his
stomach When he was right on top OF
YOU and you were trying to pick out
spot on which to land your own punch he
would shoot out both hands and IL either
landed Il was arithmetic for the referee.
Martin Candle was the best straight
left-handed 0punchor that ever lived. He
landed his left on my stomach early In our
fight and I actually suuealed from pain
for the next two rounds Candle never
knew how close he was TO beating me
Had he kept after me he might have won
the fight
Cans never hurt me TO any extent. His
punches were not Of hurting kind They
were the snappy, short punch Of the
knockout fighter. Men who have been
knocked out by him say his blows simply
rocked person TO sleep and did not leave
any bad effect Cans was the most merci-
ful OF ell fighters and one Of the finest
gentlemen OF the ring.
"Wolgast cannot punch. but Is very fast
He combined blows. ultimately having the
effect Of a Knockout and he has wonderful
stamina himself Moran is a real puncher
and great fighter. as well as a remark
ably fine little fellow.

ARMY MAJOR
AWAITS CABLE

Major wooten, Corps of Engineers,
U. S. A., in charge of all federal har-
Dor work, is still awaiting cable advices
from the war department concerning the
Hile breakwater bids.
The war department has had the bids
in hand for more than week and it
was expected that the decision on the
bids would be reached within week.
Meanwhile, Charles F. Wood, vice
president of the Philadelphia Break
water Company of Philadelphia, whose
bid was lowest by $4,000, has been ae-
lively engaged in preparing to get to
work in case his company is awarded
the contract and expects to put line
of barges on between Maui and Hawaii
to handle rock for the breakwater. This
is the way the local contractors have
figured out his plans and even then they
believe he viii have to do some very
close figuring.
