Show No battle among the little men fpr a decade has attracted more attention than the coming bout at Butte on Iabor Jay between Battling Nelson Nel-son and Aurelio Hererra. They are undoubtedly the most dangerqus bidders for the title; now held by James Edward Britt, and each one i3rGQulpped with the style of punch which makes champions. Hererra will always be crouched and waiting with his deadly right, and as it will probably reach the mark sooner or later'by reason of Nelson's rather inferior defense, the Dane will have the beat chance of his career to demonstrate what a marvel mar-vel he is as a recipient of punishment. Both Nelson himse.f and the Dane's manager at 'the same time are confident that the fate which befell Hanlon and Conole awaits the pride of Montana Mon-tana on Labor Day. Manager Teddy Murphy says Nelson will defeat Hererra atr his own game, by crouching when the Mexican does and meeting when he comes. Nelson is not going to take any chances on the punch and thinks he will be able to stay away from it. "Nelson has a punch in either hand," said Teddy Murphy recently. "He knocked out both Canole and Hanlon with his left, and that shows there is a punch in it. He can stand more punishment pun-ishment than Hererra and is certainly as clever, if not a great deal more sd. I do not want to say too much and talk as if I were boasting, but you can remember that we came here to win this fight. We have an old grudge to settle. That was when Hererra knocked out Eddie Santry after Santry had him whipped. I managed Santry, and if one of my boys is whipped,- the victor has to do the trick for the entire stable." |
