he'd run out Of the match after being
offered . mythical guarantee Of $4,000.
A. far a. Biily Gibson and the Gar

Got . similar offer. the entire bid rep
Peesnting 80 per cant Of whatever
Shsy might draw. The mach might
have been arranged on this basis "
Manager Morgan, In his efforts to Jam
RAchsy into . match. hadn't injected
the $4,000 guarantee into the proposi-
tion. The stoclsyards champion II no
slouch a. q finanoier. and II looks now
e. II he Will hold Morgan to his own
terus, hence the delay In the nnal ar
rangsment of the contest.
"A R.NARIIAND and Britton doubtless
wi are . great card risht now ana
ava probably would draw something
like $4,000 or t2s.ooo In the Garden. con-
sllsring that Packey and Matt Wells
Grew $4,000. Fifty per cent. Of this
would BE- moro than the pair could got
elsewhere In town. n the nre laws are
TO be respected. and while Packey
rsalises this. the 5000 Of the philan-
thropic Morgan probably appears moro
Of a certainty to him. Thus IL the
match put fairly and squsreiy UP to
Morgan. To give Packey the 5000 he
has accused him Of running away from.
Morgan will probably have to accept
the 81 per cent. the Garden A. G. ID
willing TO part with and allow the ZOO
guarantee to be extracted from this
Gibson himself thinks that Morgan
wouldn't be taking any big chances or
such . gamble. and AS gambling Il
second nature with Morgan the chances
are Loddacious Dan will agree rathei
than lose q big chance for Britton.
HERE was lot of sound logic IL
GNw on the witness stand wher
he declared that popularity depended
more on ability to make good than 4
puAlicity. The Giant manager adde,
that "as long as n man maiues good n
win get all the publicity that he necdi
but II he Is a failure all the publicit,
In the world will not help him win
pennant." He also added that q failur
would only get undesirable publicity.
II 10 quite true that success In an,
hne Of sports depends entirely upon tn
Individual ability of the man. Publicit
can't make q man win a boxing mate
no more than II can the baseball chan,
pionship. Neither can II make an ath
lete q champion runner. II IL up I
him to win the championship by his ow
efforts and the newspapers will atten
to the rest. That's what they are looh
ing for.
II more Of our boxers and other atf
letes gave more attention to maxim
coed than TO getting their names
print they wouldn't have to seek pull
hcity Success Is q Ereat thing. but
never comes second handed.
Many fighters have been Gale
