1. fS^Cf-.*- tec If* :i M, 1 1 1 Big Battle Off the Boxers in a Wrangle DANE AND MEXICAN FAIL TO BATTLE Dispute Over Weight Question Results in Another Bad Tangle. Pavilion, Los Angeles, Cal., May 26.There Was no figtu between Battling Nelson, the light weight champion, and Aurelio Herrera last night, as scheduled. After an almost interminable wait of two and one-half hours the crowd was dismissed at 10 minutes to 11 o'clock because Herrera refused to weigh in. Before the crowd of 4,500 was finally dis missed there was a squabble between the fight ers and their managers over the weight. Both aides made charges of sharp practices on the I part of the other In the matter of weight. As near as could be learned the situation Which led up to the calling off of the fight was as follows: The articles of agreement called for the weigh tag in at 6 o'clock p.m., both men to scale 131 pounds. The men were on hand at the stipu 1 fated hour. There were scales there, but Her rera claims they were out of order and could not be adjusted. After half an hour's argument Jacobs sent Herrera to dinner. After that he refused to allow the Mexican to weigh in. Nel on offered to go to the baths to weigh in, but Jacobs declined. The following statement was made by Jacobs: "I had Herrera at McCarey's office at a quar ter to 6 o'clock. I tried to balance the scales, which, by the way, were the scales Nolan brought in from Nelson's quarters, but could not do so. They were six or seven pounds off. We argued and squabbled until 6:15, and then I ent Herrera to eat. After that I would not consent to weigh in. I claim the weight forfeit because I was on hand at the hour to weigh, and I also claim the appearance money, because I had my nn indthIe ringt BATTLERS HAGGLE A1% 1 COAST RINGSIDE at S:30. I lived up the articles,n an don' think we are to blamo tor the fiasco." Nolan, Nelson's manager, said: "I had Nelscn at McCarey's office at 6 o'clock. We found the scales out of order. I wanted to go to the baths and weigh, but Herrera refused. I then stated that I would claim weight for felt and went back to the baths. Nelson came into the ring as you saw and made the propo I eition to fight him at 140 pounds. That is 1 Bomething that a champion in his class never of fered to do before. He had everything to lose and I did not approve of it, but he wanted to fight, and wanted to satisfy the crowd.'* Manager McCarey of the club said: "Twice during the afternoon the scales were tested and found correct, but at 8 o'clock, when the,y cameitto be tested they fifteen pounds off and was Impossibl twere get the men to come to an agreement. I am very much disap pointed over the fiasco, but I could do nothing to bring them together." Herrera entered the ring. He was seconded by Mauro Herrera, Tommy Jacobs, Jerry McIU \ane and Baldy Wilson. Herrera finally refused to get on the scales and left the pavilion. Nelson gave as his ultimatum that Herrera must make 133 pounds at the ringside or forfeit $1,000. Nelson weighed in and did not tip the beam at 131 pounds. The pavilion was not en tlrely filled when Herrera entered the ring at 8.30 p.m. But all the choice high-priced seats were taken, and also all the $5 seats in the balcony. There was much betting during the afternoon, with Nelson money in evidence at 10 to 6. Herrera went back to his dressing room and there was an argument going on about weight, in the dressing room a fight occurred between Eddie Hanlon and Mauro Herrera. Mauro stated to the newspaper men that Nelson was in the Turkish bath parlors taking off weight. Mauro was confronted with Hanlon, who denied the statement, and the fight followed, In which Mauro was bested by Hanlon. Aurelio did not take any hand in the fight. Crowd Impatient. At 8:55 p.m. the crowd was impatiently calling lor the fighters, but no response came from the dressing rooms. The crowd was becoming very TestlesB, indulging in catcalls and yells for the fighters. At 9 o'clock the announcement was made from the ring that Nelson would be in the ring in five minutes. Manager McCarey declared Herrera must weigh in. When the men came to weigh in at 6 o'clock at McCarey's office the men of _. the Nelson party were not satisfied with the Cleveland scales. McCarey says Herrera weighed 181, ,but New York Nelson's manager questioned the correctness. Detroit Herrera then said that he would weigh in at the St. Louis baths, but Nolan refused. There the matter Chicago stood, and tne men separated. Later Nelson said Washington be would fight him at any weight. Nelson arrived in the pavilion at 9:25 and said he would go on the scales and if Her rera weighs within five pounds of high weight (Nelson's) he wants to fight him. Nelson de clined to state his weight, but said he weighed only 137 with all his clothes on. Nelson showed up in the pavilion and the impatient crowd yelled loudly. Nelson got into the ring and said: "I weighed in at McCarey's and the scales were on the bum. I offered to go I BatteriesTannehill and Peterson White and to the baths and weigh, and Herrera ran out Isbell. the back way. I weighed in under weight." The crowd yelled: "You are afraid." "I am not afraid of anybody," said Nelson. "Here are the scales and if Herrera weighs .within five pounds of my weight I will fight jhlm." The scales were then hauled inside the ring. The crowd yelled derisively and crowded about the ring. McCarey declared that unless the men got into the ring within fifteen min utes he would call it off. Nelson sat in his corner with all his clothes on waiting for Herrera to appear. Jacobs, Herrera's manager, said he would not allow his man to go on the scales, as he had appeared at the weighing-in place at 6 o'clock to weigh in that the scales were off and that 'be took his man to dinner afterwards. Nelson Leaves King. Nelson went to his dressing room to talk with Herrera to see if they could not come to terms and bring off the fight. He said he would fight !if Herrera did not weigh more than 188 pounds. Nelson seemed anxious to fight. Nolan did not .appear in the ring and Nelson conducted nego tiations himself. Nelson became angry and stated that be would 'fight Herrera ,if he weighed 140 pounds. Her rera still refused to weigh. Abe Attel offered to fight either man if they could agree. The announcer said that Nelson would give Herrera five minutes, and if he did not appear !at the end of that time Nelson would meet any lone else McCarey might select to meet him. The crowd cheered these statements enthusiastically. Eddie Hanlon entered the ring and said he would fight Nelson If Herrera does not. Herrera ent word that if they would take the scales out of the ring he would come in it and fight. The scales were removed from the ring and Nelson started to strip for the battle amid wild 'cheers from the crowd. Herrera entered the ring amid the hooting of the assembly. Changes His Mind. Nelson told Manager McCarey of the club he would leave the building unless Herrera stripped and weighed in. Nelson and Nolan left the building. The crowd turned to hooting Herrera, and at 10:31 p.m. the Mexican left the ring. The announcer stated that the men would be in the ring In five minutes. Another Conference. 5 Nelson and Herrera and Manager McCarey held another conference In the Mexican's dress Ing room. At 10:45 p.m. it was announced that the fight was off. At the lflst moment Herrera said he would weigh in, but Nolan Bald Kelson waited two .hours for him to do so and now he would not go on.

Montreal 1, Newark 6: ltjmpre J*, Rochester ft.^&< A 12 Saturday Evening, THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. May 26, 1906. S At REAL BOXING ON THE STAGE Ambitious Youngster Started In to Put Away the Bantam Champion. Patrons of the Dewey yesterday afternoon saw a lively little ^act which was not all down on the bills. Frankle Nell, bantamweight cham pion, has beeu meeting all comers at that play house this,week in boxing exhibitions. Yester day "Young Barle" of Detroit was billed to meet the champion. "Young Barle" had it in his mind evidently to put the bantam away. He sailed into him in great style. "The minute he put up his guard and feinted I knew that I had caught a tartar," said Neil last night. "That fellow knows more about the boxing game than he admits around here." Barle weighs about fifteen pounds more than the champion, and for the- first round crowded the Californian all over the stage. He had him breaking ground and unable to recover and straighten out. When the second round was called the fur started to fly. Neil went after Mr. Earle in a peace-disturbing style and, getting him on the defensive, thumped him all over the plat form. It was a case of exhibition gone wrong, and the Californian pummeled the aspiring lightweight until he was glad when the bout closed. "That's one trouble about this business of meeting comers," said Neil. "You never know when some burly youth like this Barle fellow is going to get you in a careless moment." DARING YACHT RAGE TO BEGIN TODAY New York, May 26.Six hundred and fifty miles oft shore, out into the broad Atlantic ocean, with no shelter.for refuge in stress of weather, is the course laid for the little squad ron of small racing yachts scheduled to start from New York to Bermuda today. The trophy is a $500 cup, the gift of Sir Thomas Lipton, and the rales under which the race is sailed .called for seaworthy, wholesome type of craft. The, Brooklyn Yacht club holds the cup in custody, the race is under its direction, and all the boats entered are owned by members of that club, altho the event was open to boats under fifty feet in length of any club's members. Four boats are entered for the race. The largest of them is but forty-four feet In length, while the smallest is only twenty-eight feet long, such a craft as few experienced marinen* would care to risk the dangers of the Atlantic in. Moreover the little boats are captained and manned by amateur yachtsmen, the owners and their friends. Altogether the event is con sidered one of the most venturesome, and per haps the severest test of the seaworthiness of small ploasure craft yet attempted on the coast, for, a hurricane in the middle of the gulf stream, or even a moderate gale, would be a serious strain on the seamanship of the amateur sailors as .well as.upon the ability of the racing boats. The boats entered, -their owners, length over all- and time allowances are as follows: Sloop flonnle Kate, W. P. Goddard, forty four feet, scratch. Yawl Lida, R. D. Floyd, forty feet, 5 hours 20 minutes. Yawl Tamerlane, Frank Maier, thirty-nine feet, 8 hours 80 minutes. Sloop Gauntlet, George W. Robinson, twenty eight feet, 24 hours 8 minutes. Some doubt was expressed whether the Bonnie Kate would start. Six to eight men constituted the crews of each of the craft, and each car ried a small boat as tender, but hardly big enough for much Use in event of disaster. The' start was scheduled for 8 p.m., and a big fleet of small boats was expected to escort the racers down the bay. A finish line will be fixed off the harbor of Hamilton, Bermuda, where prepara tions have been made to give the Americans a generous reception. Under fair conditions the yachtsmen hope to reach Bermuda in six to eight days. While there they will sail a race around the islands and then race back to Brook lyn for a cash prize.

III MONTE BROWN HAD FARGO GUESSING Varsity Twirler Put Farm School Players in Hole in Final Game. Monte Brown was the hero of the Minnesota ball team in yesterday's game, striking out fourteen of the Fargo batters and only allowing one man to walk, and with his marvelous work and the errorless support of the rest of the team, the "Aggies" had not even a look in. Altho it has been two weeks since the gophers have played together, they were not handicapped in the least and every man played his position without skip. Minnesota scored in the first inning, and from that on until the seventh things were about even, but in this inning, after Sponer had singled, Brown came to bat and laced out a home run, thus making the score 3 to 0, with the Dakota school at the wrong end.

YALE LOOKS TO HAYE THE BEST GRANGE Boston, May 26.In the preliminary events of the intercollegiate athletic championship in the stadium at Harvard yesterday afternoon Yale qualified twenty men to fourteen for Harvard and eleven each for Pennsylvania and Cornell. Yale qualified five men in the 220-yard dash, three in the 100-yard, three in the 220-yard hurdle and two each in the half-mile run and the broad jump. On the other hand, Penn sylvania men easily won three of the four trials in the 220-yard dash and two of the four heats In the 100-yard dash, and the Philadelphia col lege was the^ favorite for carrying off these two events. Harvard made the best showing in the high jump, securing three out of four places. Harvard was unplaced in the law places hur dle, the hammer throw and the broad jump. It was In the quarter-mile, the half-mile, the hammer and the pole vault that the Cornell representatives showed up particularly strong. The Ithacans are also regarded as strong in the mile and two-mile, which will be run off today, and it is expected that Cornell will be a factor in the finals. The feature of the 100-yard dash was the shutting out of Lockwood of Harvard, who.was regarded as a crimson point-winner. In the 120- yard hurdle Turner of Cornell made the best time, 15 4-5 seconds, altho Castleman of Colgate, who won his beat, was not pushed and is the favorite in the finals today., In the 220-yard dash the three Pennsylvania winners were far ahead of their competitors. In the jumping, the strength of Harvard in the high jump was one of the surprises of the afternoon, only Pennsylvania and Yale getting a place in this event. Young of Syracuse, who won a place In the 220-yard hurdles, has been protested by Penn sylvania on the ground that he participated in open games in Philadelphia last fall. Zink of Columbia, who won a second place In one of the trial heats of the half-mile run, has also been protested. MOBNINGSIDE WON in Triangular Track Meet Results Spirited Contests.
