Show Htijtlj t Quite an important bevy of pugilists visited Vl 1 Salt Lake during the week, including Benny Hb Yanger, with plumage drooping and Aurello HB Hererra, with a scalping lock rampantly chal- H lenglng the breeze. Mr. Yanger murmured H something about a dislocated shoulder, but could H i not disguise the fact that he received a very en- H I thusiastic walloping from the lad of the copper kkkVI IH cuticle. Hererra's triumph over him places the Mexican within range of the flashlight of the first-raters in the lightweight division. The Mexican loked stalkier and more robust than ever before, but while he is now in the best flght lng form of his career, he announced that he intended in-tended to take a long rest at his home in California. Cali-fornia. He says that he'has fought more battles during the past few months than almost any pugilist in the business, which is far from being an idle boast. Few fightexs, not even Red Robert Rob-ert himself, has indulged in so many battles in the same space of time, and come out of them' with the guidon flying so brilliantly. When Mr. Hererra and his stalwart punch return re-turn to the arena he intends to make overtures for a flght with the winner of the Hanlon-Mc-Govern battle or with the doughty young punch propeller from Denver. |
