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.

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. Life as an Oarsman. Rife as an oarsman up in dear old Yale and equally expensive Harvard must bn a sought one.

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.
