NIT BOYS TAPER
OFF WITH LIGHT
TRAINING TODAY

in Workout Yesterday;
Kid Lee Still a Little Over
trained.

trained.
All doubt regarding Frank Her |
rera's ability to travel a long dis |
lance was erased yesterday after
noon when Frank travelled IS |
rounds with everybody in town |
who had ever had a pair of gloves |
on. with the exception of Kid Lee. |
Herrera was still looking for |
someone else to train with when |
he had completed the twenty-fifth |
round and had entirely run out of |
available material.
The only reason he didn't take |
on Let, the colored lightweight |
champ, is that he is booked to |
meet Lee in the main event at the |
armory tomorrow night, and Dan
Padilla, the manager of the show, |
thought it best to keep the two lads |
apart until that time. At that, IL |
Dan had collected fare at the |
workout, he'd of had enough to |
pay the guarantee and some to slip |
down in the old stocking, for there |
were at least 500 fans packed into !
Moose hall to watch Herrera ana |
Lee go through their PAGES.
Both boys will do tapering off |
training this afternoon at Moose
hall, starting at o'clock They |
may put on the gloves for q few |
light rounds as an eye opener for |
the big bout tomorrow night.
Herrera has a side shift which |
may prove puzzling to the colored |
champ. 1t has proved ruinous to |
several boxers who have tried to
solve it.
Kid Lee, who has let down on
training due to an overdose of II. /
treaded the rope couple OF
rounds yesterday and played
around with Young Sol for a few
minutes. In spite of their differ
ence in weight, Lee seems to have |
an edge on Sol when it comes to
fast moving, and Sol wins all of |
his fights on speed alone.
Tony Sanchez, now OF Albuquer-
que, but who used to WELD |
couple of wicked mits with Silver
City as his corral, spared for sew
eral rounds with Herrera yester- |
day afternoon. In spite of the fact |
that Sanchez got marriagitis and |
was ruled out of the ring, it looks |
as though he might make things |
mum with almost any bantam or |
featherweight in the southwest. |
He has good form, speed and
punch in either nit.
Eddie Ryan is down from Pueb- |
10 to look over the main evanters |
tomorrow night Ryan is one of /
the veteran Colorado boxing pro- |
moters and managers and there is
some talk that he'll be the third |
man IN the ring for the three events |
at the armory tomorrow night. Rya |
mas reputation Of knowing his |
apples when it comes to keeping
the boys in the ring moving.
Lee weighed 1907 pounds yes
terday afternoon. In spite of his
three-day rest from training he |
failed to take on the four pounds he
expected. Herrera will probably |
weigh in Tuesday at 1874. It is pos
,sihle that Lee will be successful In
taking on some between yesterday |
afternoon and o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
: 1t looks like Young Herrera was
going south again with the pot. |
| This will make about a dozen /
straight wins Pit Everitt is sched-
uled to travel six rounds with the |
Albuquerque invincible in the cur
tain raiser tomorrow night. From |
what Pit showed in training YES
terday afternoon he must either
have stack of chips that look like |
Pecos Badly or be sitting with n
hole card marked $50 per cent bet
ter" If he hopes to keen from fol-
lowing the other lads who have bet
with Herrera and found the game
too fast for them. Eyeritt comes
from around Las Vegas.
Kid Anaya claims he has cast
aside his cover-up type of boxing
and that he intends to carry the
fight to young Sol. If he does this
and remembers that he has a right
as well as left-and SOILS dandy
little lad too. But then If Anaya
does all that, it will be the first
time he ever did. Anaya has a darb
of right, but he saves it. He is
fast enough that he doesn't need to
cover up, but he does. So it looks
as though the semi-windup will
not disappoint the fans. Sol and
Anaya boxed ten rounds a few
weeks ago to draw. The bout to-
morrow night is booked for twelve
rounds.
And when you talk to Ed West
about the bout, he just smiles and
tells you about piece of poetry
he's working on that he believes
will knock the editors cold.
