from Butte Aurelio Aurello Herrera and his manager r Biddy Bishop will make their appearance In Salt Lake tile the coming week As soon as this is done there will probably be something doing in the pugilistic line Une as I Bishop is not the kind of a man to lie I I idle long lone with his champion The Meal I can is besieged with challenges these i days ys and ana he be should not have hav much trouble in getting some one to take on I Several Salt Lake promoters have base been tempting Biddy the past two weeks with offers otters and in all likelihood he will ac accept accept accept some one of these as soon as he arrives In Salt Lake Among tho most prominent nt Js fa j Jack Downey Downe the only man who is now flow on the ground that could make mak any kind of a showing against th the Mexican Downey seems sincere Jn tn n the belief that he is the man roan to lower the Californians colors and says ne e has the money to back up his pretensions He is isnow Isnow I now doing light road work In anticipation I tion of ot getting a match In order to paH I it off as soon is as possible if the Mexican agrees to meet him it C it it 0 During the th past week there has hag been much said and very little done about get getting getting ting ring on a match between Young Price and nd Kid Smith and Young Price and George Hackett Both Hackett and Smith have camped on Prices trail but neither one of the latter has received much encouragement In each case Price tells the theother theother theother other two to go and get a reputation be beford betot tot IntO talking match Smith was also in informed Informed informed formed that it would take a 53 1255 side bet betto betto betto to get a match h at h with Price but when this youngster raised this amount he was vas in informed Informed formed that Price had bad decided that it would take a 1000 side bet to get him himin himin in n the ring Now all this talk is mere bosh None of ot the three named has any more if f a reputation in inthe Inthe inthe the rine that the law allows and l ly y Price has less than either Smith or Hackett Sackett The latter boys have taken part in a number of ot con contests contests contests tests while whilo Prices experience is limited as far tar as can be learned to a fe pre pro preliminaries where he be came a long Ion way from ahi having n the best b t of f it It I is nb believed ll that a match between these youngsters would make a good to a main event and nothing more it Local fight tight fans are wondering whether Manager Shafer e of the e a Athletic e club is really serious fo when he be talks f of pulling off a a match between Harry Forbes and Young Price In Salt Lake For the past six months or thereabouts this fight ht has been talked of but It was generally supposed it was done merely to o boost Young Price Now this boy Price Is as nice and gentlemanly manlY a a little fellow ellow as ever eer donned a mitt m fn In a Salt aalt Lake preliminary m and a d he be may a be a Corner comer As such rhea rhe he is entitled to every chance In iii the world and being a local boy should be boosted as much as pos possible sible sillie by all friends of the game But when a match mUch with the worlds champion Is talked of ot against a man who as far tar faras taras faras as can an be learned never fought a fight tight in his life it Is 15 a little too much for tor the local fight fI t fans to swallow If Manager Shafer Sharer thinks he has h S a world beater which he be beIs heis heis Is entitled to do he should at least show stow him off before the public DubUc before asking for its support in a match against the champion of ot the world Of course Young loung Pride Is willing to go against Forbes as any fighter would be as the losers end of ot the purse would be more mote that he could coma earn fighting preliminaries all his life and then his manager would come In for a neat sum sunt but how about the pub publIc lie lIc Jc who pays its coin This is not intended as a knock against Young Price but only as a bit of friendly advice to get out and do something that tha entitles him to a fight with the worlds world s champion and then the public will begin bepIn to have some confidence in his standing as a fighter Price may be the champion of the world himself some day but ma hlo record up to date does not entitle him to being bein the principal In a boxing contest contes in any village villaC e In the and it is a 2 to 1 shot he could not get a match as such from any athletic club promoter I from coast to coast 0 As has been bOon stated on many occasions Salt Lake is one of the best towns for the fighting game In the west At the present time boxers from all over the th country are anxious to come me here and In all Pr proba probability ba many good matches will be pulled I off the th coming summer However this I does not mean that mat every dub clUb who has hasI to U Salt I ever seen a boxing glove can cnn come t Lake and do business for they cannot I The fight tight followers have been fooled foolOO often enough e by this kind of gentry and andin andin andin in those who make a 11 bid for forthe forthe I the coin will have hae to show cause why or there will be he nothing doing |
