CHICAGO, Jan. T. - Especially = The
prize ring has produced in its time many
a man who has been ruined by over
management. but never before has there
been so muchly an overmanaged man as
Benny Yanger, 1.-THE Upton Slasher."
His managers name is Hertz, and it
might be well for promoters of the game
TO remember the name. His bread-win-
ner is a nice sort of fellow, but no one
who knows a thing about his manager
would accord a mede of praise to him.
nor vet believe that he was capable or
Dealing in q business-like way with any
one. Hertz in some way fastened HIM
self on the sporting fraternity of Chi
cago, and the latter repudiate him as be-
ing a man of too small a caliber to be
considered factor in the world Of
sports. He has a fighter, however, who
might be a drawing card at any part
Of the world, but the conditions sur
rounding his appearance as promulgated
by his manager preclude the possibility
of the making of a match
Yanger has been successful hghter-
and a lucky one. He has never shown
championship form, but he may in the
future, for he is still a youngster But
with the man who at present guides his
movements the chances are that he Will
find himself among the has-beens before
- he becomes a reality. Hertz's policy Is
to antagonize everybody with whom he
comes in contact, and although man
may have plenty of merit the disgust
OF promoters is soon pushed to such a
notch that they refuse to do business
with an arbitrary and insolent manager.
Hertz has posted forfeit Of $500, which
he says he will leave up for few days
There is no doubt, however, that he Will
refuse to do business with any man
who dares cover it, and 1t might be as
well for him to specify. who shall cover
the forfeit. He will not as he says deal
with any man who was connected with
the Tattersalls club, and as there are
few III the city outside of that organiza-
ton who will put up much money on d
prize fight, or boxing match, he no
doubt thinks he is perfectly safe in post
ing a forfeit which he knows or think;
will not be covered. Any number of men
of merit in the squared circle have mani
tested their desire to cover his forfeit
but to all of them he has turned his deal
ear and still bowls about Terry as the
only antagonist worthy of hangers Prov
ess. This may be food sufficiently nour'
ishing for the young in the sporting line
hut to those who believe that money
talks whether to be handled by friend
or foe it sounds like the baby act"
One of the notable events of last weeA
was the defeat of Oscar Gardner, the
Omaha Kid, at the hands of Tim Cal
lahan This may not be surprising to
many who have watched the careers of
the two men, but when it is remembered
that Oscar Gardner not long ago was
regarded almost invincible, 1t is matter
more of pity than wonder That he has
not long ere this forsaken the ring for
some more congenial occupation. He has
in his time fought many good and fierce
battles, and has never been known tc
haggle over weights, purses and such
other little matters as the pugilist today
is noted for. He has fought as often as
any man in the ring, and has usually
given a good account OF himself, but ir
so doing has battered his hands out Of
shape, until at the present time Their,
is scarcely a battle in which he engage!
when he does not injure them, thus plac
ing him at a disadvantage against an OPP
ponent with good dukes" This does
not in anywise detract from Tim Gala
hans ability fighter, for Tim has tt
his credit the only adverse decision rem
dered against the mighty Terry McGov
ern. True, the decision was given Tin
on foul, but he showed himself in tina
instance to be a ring general as we'll a,
wit by calling Terry an A. p. A. wher
the Brooklyn boy had him on the ropes
Thls was too much for Terry, and he
soaked Tim a good one, which, al.
