MOST FIGHTERS OF TODAY DO NOT APPRECIATE THE VALUE OF A MANAGER
BY DUNDEE
Leonard and Dempsey Are Two
Boxers Who Are Grateful
# . '
to Their Pilots, S
By JAMES J. CORBETT.
Just a short time ago Johnny Dun
dee broke forth with a loud lament
over the fact that he pald “lots of
money” to Scotty Monteith over a
period of years for managerial work.
‘““A manager gets all the best of
it,” wailed Dundee. *“I have been in
the ring for eight years—and look
at my ears—all scarred and battered
During a'l that time Monteith was
on the outside and nothing ever hap
pened ‘o him. 1 did the fighting and
got the punchings and Monteith got
#ome of the money for it. I am off
of managers for the rest of my
pugilistic iife”
Dundee seems to be showing
sgomething akin to ingratitude by
statements of that sort. From all
I know about Dundee's career he
owes a large portion of his success
to the skillful handling and tutering
of Monteith. It was this Scotchman
who took hold of Dundee when he
was an cgbscure fjghter He spent
years traicing him to top notech form.
If Dundee had been a “flivver’ Mon
teith would have loet all the time
and energy which he had expended.
Fortunately, however, Dundee he
came @ successful fighter and Mon
teith shared in the financial returns.
That was only fair and only in
keeping with an agreement which
Dundee had made. It's true that
Monteith always was outside of the
ring—and was not doing any of the
active fighting. But Mcnteith's brain
was working through every moment
of every fight that Dundee had and
it was his calm judgment and his
‘schooling of Dundee that has aided
#0 much in enabling Dundee to reach
the top.
Fighters owe more to their man
agers than many are willing to con
'cede. Most of them, after reaching
a certain point of success, get in
flated Ideas concerning themselves
and think that they owe nothing to
their managers. Fortunately for the
ring game, Benny Leonard and Jack
Dempsey are not listed in this group.
leonard is always ready to inform
the world that what he is today in
the prize ring is what Gibson made
him. And Dempsey gives to Kearns
the real credit for tutoring him in
ring lore and Dbringing him along
from obscurity to a place where he
dominates the pugilistic world,
“1 was just a - preliminary boy when
Gibson took hold of me,” says Leon
ard. “I don't suppose I would ever
‘have amounted to anything beyond
that if it had not been for Billy. Ha
spent years teaching me the fine
points of boxing-—and I regard him
as the greatest teacher that puglilism
ever has produced. HY was always
patient and kindly and ho didn’t bring
me along too fast. He was satis
fled to get me small purses with or
dinary fighters until such time, that
by whipping them, [ gained con
fidence in myself and was able to
meet the starrier performers and get
bigger money.” .
And Dempsey, speaking of Kearns,
BAVS '
“I was pretty much ors a bhoob as
far as fistic knowlegfe was concerned
when Jack Kearns took me in hand
in 1817, He taught me more in the
first month that he handled me than
I had learned in all the while pre
vious. Jack showed me tricks to use
in the ring, showed me the real knack
of hitting and 101 other things
which enabled me later to fight my
way to the top. I may have punched
my way to the championship—-but it
‘was Kearns who showed me how to
do it"”
Ted “Kid” Lewis and Johnny Kil
bane are men, like Dundee, who
tossed aside their managers when
they achieved fame and greatness.
Jimmy Dunn spent years tutoring
Kilbane. An old boxer himself, he
had learned much of ring warfare
and imparted the know'edge to Kil
bane. He handled the featherweight
with the skill and the finesse of a
diplomat. But in the end Kilbane
threw nim aside and declared that
he needad a manager no further,
Jimmy Johnston picked up Lewis
when ne was a Jjoke warrior, By
elever matching and by schooling
Lewis through many months and
years Joinston made & real fighter
out of him. Just about as soon as
Yewis reached the top he tossed
Johnston aside and asince then has
been handling his own affairs.
A fighter certainly c¢wes more to
his manager than he can appreciate.

Linow Toughens Up
b . ‘
- For Mat Bout With
~ Zybszko March 18
1 CHICAGO, Mare:r 15~Win4 and
endurance are all that Jack Linow
is laoring to perfect for his finish
mat contest with Stanislaus Zbyszko
at the BSecond Regiment Armory
March 18, To acquire those nighly
desirable adjuncts in his preparation
for the clash he is doing a lot of Pnad‘
‘work. Ten miles or more daily is his
schedule, and the work is commenc
ing to show results.
The glant Russ already,is able to
work | nthe gym at top speed for an
unlimited stretch of time without the
least fatigue.
Of speed, science and strength Jack!
has considerable. In addition he is
possessed of tigerlike aggressiveness
and undaunted courages Jack boasts
that in all his years of wrestling he
has never backed up or quit. Foes
have to pin and hold him to gain a
victory, and very few have been able
to accomplish that feat, especially
when the big fellow was in shape.
Close students ofg the game fail
to firure how it is possible for the
glant Pole to get into any kind of
condition for so formidable a foe in
so short a time after his return to
the sport from so long a lavoff, It is
true that Zybszko is wrestlin: him
self rapidly into form, but if the re
ports of his present poundage are
true, it will take a longer period than
six weeks to fit him for men of the
Linow type, the sharps contend.
Of course the Pole is winning
matches, He is wrestuing almost ev
ery night. But the class of men he
i* meeting are of the third and fourth
rates. A man like Linow will be a
vastly different story.

Season Sunday, 5-0
)
R 1
In the first baseball game of the
local season the Sixtieth Infantry
team of Camp Gordon walloped Fort
McPherson Sunday afternoon, 5-0.
The weather was a big drawback to
the game, and at the end of the sixth
inning it became so chilly that play
was discontinued.
Jesse Young, the young Camp Gor
don hurler, starred. He gave up only
two hits in the six innings, and none
of the opposing players reached sec
ond base. His bat brought in two of
the five runs. Kearny of the Camp
Gordon team also was in the lime
light. He scored one run and brought
in two more with a two-base clout.
Brown, who hurled for McPherson,
had hard luck. He fanned nine men
and walked three.
Both teams played a good game,
and the form of the players at this
stage of the season is very ecours
aging to the coaches of both teams.
Fort McPherson will play a return
game at Camp Gordon next Sunday.

MANY FINE
All Pilots Participants in Games,
and Review Shows Each Man
Is an Infielder.
COLUMBIA, 8. C, March 15.—An
ante-season review of the South At
lantic Association of baseball club
managers for 1920 shows that aside
from their managerial ability every
pilot is a high class individual per
former. Perhaps the six managers
will set a record for the fifteen years
of the league for ability to play, as
well as manage. A coincidence is that
every manager is an infielder, two
first hasemen, a second baseman, two
shortstops and a third baseman.
In past seasons there have always
been one or two “weak sisters” at
the playing end of the game, Men,
valuable as managers for their
knowledge of the game and experi
ence, but long since having lost their
usefulness as players. Not so this
season. Every manager is in his
prime, and without question barring
injury or unforeseen happening will
be a star.
ZINN BECK AT COLUMBIA.
Columbia will have one of the ‘most
popular players who has worn a Co
lumbia uniform, Zinn Beck. Beck
broke in here in 1910 and returned in
1911, going to the Texas League for
1912 and 1913, and thence to the St.
Louis Cardinals, where he played in
1914, 1915 and 1916, He was with
Milwaukee in the American Associa
tion in 1917, and went back to the
major leagues in 1918, with the New
York Americans. Last season he was
with Vernon in the Pacific Coast
League. Thus Beck has spent his last
six years in basebali, four in the ma
jors and two in Class AA. He is a
clever thirdsacker and a dangerous
man at bat in a pinch.
Douglas Harbison, returning to
Spartanburg, is a first baseman of
extraordinary ability and a splendid
batter. He formerly played for Co
lumbia and was manager for three
sensons. He took the Spartanburg
club last season, when it was hope
lessly distanced, and finally got an
aggregation of misfits to playing
regular baseball. Harbison has been
with the San Antonio and Waco clubs
of the Texas League, Atlanta, South
ern League; New York Americans,
Tacoma and Seattle, in the North
western; twice with Columbia and
in Spartanburg for the third time.
