TOO MUCH MANAGER.

Not ding ago there travelled to this
place youth who aspired to De prize
fighter. This youth was modest and
willing to sacrifice the money end OF
a fight so long as he could obtain a
match at the Lotos and build himself
a reputation SO that In the days 10
come he could demand a nice, fat,
Juicy sum to enter a ring. Now this
is perfectly proper as a man can de-
mand his price when he has proven
that he has the goods.
Now this ambitious youth by name,
Leu Russell, of New Brunswick, en-
countered the doughty McCauley the
terror of Staten Island, and in q few
rounds his ambitious boxer was
sleeping peacefully in the center of
the ring with the referee singing that
famous song that end thusly: -
ten! You're outl" That was Russel's
initial appearance at the Lofts.
Months had passed and again we
find this same lad entering the Lotos
ring with an opponent by the name of
George Ward in the other corner.
Here was action" we murmured.
The hero comes back to vindicate
himself in the eyes of the fans" But
10! and Behold in a few more rounds
u Brunswick ~youngster is again
sleeping the sleep that Is spelt
there in hopes.
Back to New Brunswick goes the
c~restfallen pugilist and gets himself
a manager. Enter manager. Man
ager give his man a big write-up in
his sport column and when the Lotos
seeks to match Russell with one
Chick" Kapper at ye old rates up
pops manager and says, May, nay
Russell. you have now made q reputa-
ton for yourself and must demand
twice as much as you got before. You
know the war has made the value Of
boxers go up" Crestfallen, Leu must
abide by his managers decision and Of
course. no match. OF curse a man.
