with Maher and his manager. He wanted
20 assist in training Mahcr and claimed
that he knew more about Fitz' style of

This is doubtless the truth. Fitz made a
wonderful record under CAROLS hand
ling. Although Carroll was seeking re-
yenge he had frugal mind and wanted
an assurance Of percentage in case
Maher won. Either the Maher people
were confident Of winning without Car
rolls assistance or else they did not care
TO spend the money. At any rate Car
roll went back to III paso without max
Ing any arrangement with Quinn.
Although Carroll does not say so, il,
nnparently believes that Eitz has til,

long conversation he said:
