Schultz went to the Phillies

Schultz showed the earmarks Of

But He is Always Willing to
Back His Judgment with CASH
Was Taking Big Chances When
He Tried to Hire Johnny Kill
bane by the Year.
Los ANGELES, March 2S.-
When Fight Promoter Tom Nc
Carey offered Featherweight
Champion Johnny Kilbane a sal
AIRY of $50, 900 for two years work
for him, he pulled one of the most
unique gambling stunts in the his
tory of the ring. or course, Kill
bane refused the offer, because he
figures he can make more than
$4,000 in the next two years.
But this offer would make the
hair of the biggest plunger stand
on end. The risk for McCarey,
had the offer been accepted, would
have been enormous. But had
Kilbane accepted and continued
to play In luck, the profits from
virtual peonage might have been
whopping, when you consider the
moving picture dramas In which
he was to play the moving part.
the vaudeville shows he might be
called upon to head and the box
ing matches he might engage in.
On the other hand McCarey was
taking a long chance. In a week
Kilbane might have been defeated
and the $4,000 contract would
not have been worth a Cancelled
postage stamp. Any chance blow
in fight, slip of the foot or a
flash of sunlight in his stars eyes
might have brought ruin to the
Los Angeles promoter. To sit at
the ringside and watch some hus-
ky ruffian hammering $4,000
worth of your property would be
to say the least, narrowing.
Should Kilbane have fallen into
i'll health, broken an arm, or suf-
fered any other accident. or should
some reform stop boxing In Cali
|fornia, MoCarey would have had
the distinction of burning up $780,
900 for nothing. But this offer is
in keeping with some of the other
gambling stunts of McCarey. It'll
wasn't so many years ago that Nc
Carey was driving a laundry de-
livery wagon on the streets of Los
Angeles. He was doing we'll. Then
came the first nomination of Billy
