POOR GRADE Of
MANAGEMENT
KILLED MANDOT
BY Bob Tarleton.

THE poorest sort of manage
ment is all that kept the
South from having a light
weight champion of the world in
the person Of Joe Mandot. the
French baker boy. In my opinion,
Joe was coming along at top
speed and would certainly have
won the title had not a few serious
blunders by his manager been
made
Mandot trimmed Joe Rivers de-
cisively in 20 rounds, right aft
er Rivers had given Wolgast the
fight Of his life and was being
proclaimed champion.
Then they sent Joe against
Woigast over the round route
at New Orleans. Mandot won a
newspaper decision. which was
concurred in by Ed W Smith, of
Chicago. one of the worlds most
eminent sporting authorities, who
refereed the fight.
Right here the bone in the head
instead of the brain of his man
a ger began to work Here was
Mandot right in line for a whack
at Wolgast over the Marathon
distance and chance for the title.
Wolgast was going back. There
were a number of lightweights who
could have taken Ads measure at
that time
r Ut does Joe's manager go after
Ad? Oh. no. He grabs a fight
with Rivers. Now, what could he
get out of it except a few dollars?
Mandot had already beaten Rivers.
He couldn't climb higher by beat
ing him again.
They allowed Richie to grab
Wolgast and sent Mandot against
the Mexican. Richie got a title
and Mandot got a beating. 1t
wasn't such a beating that hur,
him a whole lot. though. 1t was a
fairly even affair and Mandot lost
little prestige.
= TILL his manager sidestepped
the real boys and took on
Leach Cross. There was nothing
to be gained by fighting the New
York dentist and there was every
thing TO lose. Cross is the hardest
right-handed hitter for a light
weight in the world to-day. If he
happens to land. somebody hits the
mat
MEL, he happened to land on
Mandot. Now. if Joe ever
does come back-aud mighty few
OF them do-he's got a rocky road
ahead of him.
He's a great little boy. I I'M
earthed him myself down in the
Jackson Square district and han
died him until | had to report to
my ball club. ! may not be a Billy
Delaney a Tom Jones or a Nolan.
but believe me. I'd have never nut
that kid through the fool campaign
that has put him among the
might have beens"
