As far as we have been able to
figure the thing out through a bit of
sherlocking, a manager grabs off from
15 to 50 per cent of the income of
his protege. In the case of some men
like Ritchie, Kilbane, Dundee. Gun
boat Smith, Jess Willard, Battling Le
vinsky and other well known punch
ing persons whose earnings are rath
er large, it must mean a nice wad
annually for the managers.
Jimmy Dunn, manager of Johnny
Kilbane, took the featherweight cham
pion under his wing long before Kil
bane was known outside of Cleveland.
Dunn saw a big future for Kilbane
and he hooked him up for a long
term agreement whereby Dunn was
to get a certain percentage of all
earnings. Dunn, you see, had nothing
to lose and a lot to gain. It may be
stated, in a sort of offhnnd manner,
that Dunn gained considerably.
Dunn, back in the days before lie
attached himself to Kilbane, used to
think that beef stew and pork an’,
with an occasional ham an’ was a
meal fit for any king. But these
days Dunn thinks he's cheating the
restaurant if he sits down to a meal
that costs les sthan $2.
Ddn Morgan is said to have made
about $75,000 through managing fight
ers. Morgan brought "Knockout”
Brown to the fore, and in a little over
four years Brown made something like
$120,000 in the ring, according to
Dan's own statements Dan got some
thing like $30,000 out of it.
Morgan has made a small fortune
through Battling Levlnsky, and the
other five or six men in his present
"string” are bringing him handsome
returns. The beet of It all, from
Morgan's viewpoint, is the fact that
he’s gotten quite a bit of fame as a
manager and he doesn’t have to
scout around for more pugs to han
dle. They seek him out and beg to
snuggle under his wing.
Before Morgan got into the busi
ness of managing punch swapping
persons he was a window trimmer in
a department store, at which occupa
tion he drew down in one year just
about as much money as he makes in
a month now.
Jim Buckley has garnered a small
fortune through managing Gunboat
Smith, the leading “white hope.” Dan
McKetrick, manager of Frank Morgan,
who meets Jack Johnson in the chain -
pionship battle next month, is due to
make a "killing" for himself through
that one fight, if Moran takes the title
from Johnson and continues McKet
rick as his manager, Dan will make
so much money that he can afford to
get chummy with Vincent Astor, John
D„ Pittsburgh Andy, and a few other
plutes.

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA, GA.
Scotty ’ Montieth now is on ‘e'asy
street" because of the money Johnnv
Dundee has made for him. Harry
Pollock, manager of Freddy Welsh, lias
grown wealthy. Mom Nolan, once
manager of Bat Nelson, has a fortune
laid aside. Tom Foley, who has man
aged champions and near champions
can l'etite and still support a few an
tomobiles.
Oh, yes, the life of a manager of a
pug is the life where one grows fat
and rich without work.
"Sunny Jim” Coffroth, of San Fran
cisco, who is making more money in
promoting tights than any other man
in the country, says the secret of suc
cess in the tight promotion business
is to “give the public a square deal."
And out on the coast that’s exactly
what Coffroth gives the fans. Ho
doesn t boost his "bleacher” prices for
the star bouts nnd thus freeze out the
fallows who can afford only $1 or $2.
Those prices always remain the same,
no matter what the attraction.
Ihe $1 and $2 boys are the ones
that help me make ends meet when
I m staging just an ordinary bout,”
says Coftroth. "Those boys are my
friends and you can bet on it that I
have made it an ironclad rule never to
increase the price of their seats.
hether it’s just an ordinary scrap
or one in which the championship Is
at stake the prices are the same.
Coffroth, although always a fight
fan, never gave the promoting end of
tlie game a thought until hack in 1900.
Just about that time the Horton fight
law was repealed in New York state
and Jim Kennedy, a Now York fight
promoter, landed in Frisco looking
around for a. site for an arena. He
sought out Coffroth, who then was
secretary to the supreme court in that
city.
"The game ought to make money
out here if I can get a permit,” said
Kennedy.
"I’ll get the permit if you’ll take
me into partnership with you," said
Coffroth.
“You’re on." answered Kennedy.
And Coffroth has been “on" ever
since.
SPEER REPORT
con soon
Volstead is Expected to File
Minority Finding From That
of Webb and Fitzhenry.
Washington.—-Congressmen Webb, ot
North Carolina; Fits Henry, of Illinois,
nnd Volstead, of Minnesota, says a spe
cial to the Atlanta Journal, constituting
the committee that investigated the
charges against Federal Judge Emory
Speer, probably wII hold their first
joint conference early next week. Fol
lowing this conference. It Is believed
that the findings of the committee wilt
be submitted shortly to the house Ju
diciary committee for consideration.
'file belief continues that the three
members will not agree, and that two re
ports—one signed by Webb and Fitz-
Henry and Volstead have been forced to
work Individually in their analysis of the
testimony that was taken by them at
Macon and Savannah bearing on the
charges against Judge Speer. They have
never compared notes, and it is stated
that none of the three is informed as
to the tentative decision of tlie others.
SPORTLETS
Opposes Opening Date Change
New York.—John K. Toner, proxy
of the National l.eague, comes out tli
opposition to tin* plan for a later open
ing date for the big leagues. Well, the
fans aren’t kabibbling much. The
baseball powers that be can open the
season in January If they want. There
Is nothing to compel the fans to watch
the doings either in January or in
April.
However, it would seem to us that
organized baseball would make a m is
ter stroke for itself by shifting the
opening date to about May 1, as pre
viously suggested. The weather starts
to take on a respectable aspect Just
about that time, whereas, from the
middle of April until Maytime Jupe
Pluvius and even Jack Frost are quite
regularly on the job forcing postpone
ments that mean big money losses
for file persons who finance the clubs.
Jack Coombs.
Jack Coombs, the one-time wonder
ful Athletic pitcher, hopes to get back
into harness again within a month or
Bix weeks, after a lay-off of nearly
two y ears because of illness. His doc
tors have assured him that he will be
able physically to stand the strain ol
pitching.
The return of Coombs will create
many questions. Foremost will be the
one that Coombs’ work alone can iin
swer "Can he come back?" it’ "Big
Jack" can turn the trick, can skid back
into ids winning ways, it will lift i
great weight from the mind of Connie
Mack, who just now is rather worried
because of the erratic work of his
pitching staff.

happening for the Harvard crew. If
those fellows tow a slow race next
month they should not be blamed for
it. Shaking up a fellow every day,
especially if the shaking is done by a
rough and uncouth coach isn’t going to
lieli> a fellow’s condition any.
Tennis Players.
Oslerizing tennis players is one of
the latest suggestions. It comes from
a young not star who thinks that such
old "fogies" as K P. Darned, Malcolm
D. Whitman, Fred Alexander and oth
ers shouldn't even be allowed to com
pete with the young persons like
Maurice McLaughlin and R. Norris
Williams lor a chance to represent
America in the Davis Cup matches.
And, now, we suppose somebody con
nected with the New York Giants,
having a person named Wagner in
mind, will ask that an age limit be
set on ball players.
Lipton’s Yacht.
Everybody in England seems to lie
disappointed over the I-ipton yacht
because "it is distinctly ugly." They
might find consolation by looking at
tlie picture of Jack Johnson, the col
ored pug or John Bunny, who move?
in the movies. They can be classi
fied in tile same category as Dlpton's
skll’f ami see what they’ve done.
