Herrera Receives OffersHerrera was the recipient of three

offers from.eastern inuiii<Bement!i yes?terday, none of which he lias decidedupon.

Tom O'Ttourke, matchmaker of theTuxedo club Just outside Philadelphia,sent 11 telegram asking whether.Mer-rera would meet lOme or link Uiishclfor twenty rounds February 14.P. R Osllugher of the Oreiit Falls

Athletic club, Montana, wired a mes-sage offering a twenty-round matchwith Charley Neary for some time nextmonth.

At all event* Herman and. Herrerahuvo the opportunity of their lives athand and It Is up to theni to decidewhich will continue upon the upwardroad.

NelKou hlniHPlf will probably demandthat Uib winner fight Britt, and in thatevent 11 win foreither Hei-ninn or llei--rerH -would leave the coast i-lesr for anai-Kument with the Mpßeswicli boy. ,

Public sentiment, however, will nodoubt favor a buttle between the win-ner of thp Hennan-Herrera fight uudthe man that Nelson put A ftulotus onfor tho time being. Hrltt is not re-garded as a. dead one. because of thefact (hut lie foiiglit Nelson a stand upfight, and should he meet the ]:>hhp Ina twenty-round battle he would havefonuldoruble backing: to will tho deci-sion.

Herrera has little use for WillyBrjttand may ask for a go with Nelsonchould he win the forthcoming battle,

The Mexican claims the Brlttmanage-ment UKked him to lay down at Ituttocue tlmo and says he lias nn denlre tocio business with them if it.cap beavoided. . ,' ...

The bout will lie a humjner fromthe start, as both men have gainedtheir last victories in Tast fashion andhave as an Incentive In till probabilitya battle with Jimmy Brltt or lSattllugNelson.

The next nltract ion in which the win-ner of Frfday night's battle will be aprincipal Is to occur on February 9,when Young Herman, who put EddieHunlon in the same position that Cor-1-ett now holds, willpit his science andFtrength against Hcrrern's dangerousknockout drops. ,. \u25a0

Whatever Herrera has been accusedof. he demonstrated his right to mine'ewith the toonotch lightweights of theworld and the future will tell whetherhe Is to reach the pinnacle of his ainhl-

kion.

Again the bell rang, this time for thelast round which was to mark the fight.A moment later and Corbett was car-ried insensible lo his corner from be-neath the ropes where he had fallenunder the hurricane blows of the Mexi-can.

When Corbett had mmle severalclever rushes ,that scintillated some-what of his previous form and landedr.n the Mexican, who 'lanced away.there were those who called "Yellow"from the tiers of humanity. Oorbettcommenced taunting and a token ofa popular victory noised through theair.

The Mexican said nothing, neither didhe change his tactics. Corbett pent lilinagainst the ropes and the crowd shout-ed for Rlee. In wily fashion Hen-emslipped to the center of the ring withhis deadly arm poised for action. Thegong pounded and the men went totheir corners for the minute's rest.

The fact that Corbett had cone bnekdocs not lessen the victory of Tlerrern.as he put hift man away early in tliemixing in the most decisive mannerpossible. He left the scene of battleunscathed and a moment later was onthe streets aft though nothing out otthe ordinary had happened.

Herrera's Victory Clean CutHerrera's llsht and the nt tending

laurels were clean; cut. and !Clecl«lvP,There wna nothing apprriachlnft n flukefrom the time the men entered '.he vine-,and the coolness and precision oT tlioMexican as lie waited for Hie oppor-tunity to drive In lii« terrible right ex-hibited the fact that R-eneralshlo i« afactor of lion-era's dslithiß- in additionto tho rlrowsing wallop that lies hiddenin Ills stocky arm.

Tt was Hip panning for Rood of theone-lime king of all the little fellows,and the nnectatorn In their ox«-ltpmciit

were quick to apprcclnte tlio fact.

When at last lie was revived findhalf curried from tile rliifr a mightycheer went up that made the recogni-tion or Herrera's prowess when he sentCorbett to the floor seem weak In com-piirison.

A more .popular boxer perhaps neverstepped Into Hip ring, ami. when hewent to oblivion Fi-ldny evening', hardlya person of Hip grout crowd at theringsiile but fell sympathy for thelightweight as lie lay liclpleps underthe ropes.

But It was the sumo olrl story of allIliosp who huvo nirtpcl withthe destroy-ing glitter mid glamor of things con-vivial. Corbett enjoyed his share, ofthe adulation which comes to the victorand Buffered the penalty which an cx-icss of popularity generally eniaiin.

Thnso who had watched hla inr-teorlccai-f-or from prior to the time that hegalur-d the victory over Torry McOov-ern In the buttle which Glectrlfled th"sporting World November
