CLEVER BOXERS
NEED MANAGERS

A boxers ability to make big
money and become famous doesn't
rest entirely on his own ability.
Proper management by a man big
enough to see the value of the
proper kind of publicity has had
great deal to do with the sue
cess of many boxers.
The boxer himself, of course,
must be pretty good or the best OF
managers cannot put him across.
Jess Willard is striking ex-
ample. Willard had wandered
around the country for years box
ing now and then for whatever he
could get. AS Jack Johnson began
to fade Tom Jones saw the posi-
bility of Willard being able to win
the world championship. He took
him in tow, began a campaign OF
publicity which put the big Kan
san before the public and financed
him until the fight at Havana
which made him champion of the
world.
Freddie Welsh never made

The other is Chief Bender, since
1914 considered member of the
we'll known Hasbeen club, whose
sterling work last year redeemed
him and makes him a candidate
for premier honors with the Phil
lies this season.
The work of Marquard and

surprises in the National league.

DEMPSEY, NEWCOMER
FROM WEST, HAS The
EAST WATCHING HIM

In the boxing game 1t is just a
step from comparative obscurity
into fame. This has been shown
many times, when some compare
lively unknown boxer defeats a
champion or near-champion and
grabs the big honors and big
money.
Young Corbett was considered a
"come-on" until he defeated Terry
McGovern in two rounds at New
Haven and became featherweight
champion OF the world.
| Al Mccoy was scarcely known
outside Brooklyn until he clipped
George Chip on the jaw in the
first round and claimed the mid
dleweight championship.
Willie Jackson rose from a $50
preliminary boy to a top notch
lightweight by few minutes ring
work which eliminated in the
knocking out OF Johnny Dundee.
There's a young heavyweight of
the west who may have a chance
to duplicate these feats IL his work
here in four round bouts is any
indication of his real ability. He's
known as Jack Dempsey and If
he's half as good as his namesake
he's better than the present outfit
of heavyweights.
| Dempsey halls from Salt Lake
City and is comparatively I'M
known in the east. On the coast,
however, he has succeeded In
beating Carl Morris and Gunboat
! Smith, both of whom have aspired

effective pitchers in the league
His mound work was the best
since 1912 when he won 19
straight games.
When Bender first appeared on
the Phillies' field hast year it was
easy to see he was a different
pitcher from the man who had had
such bad season 1916. He
showed the results of training and
exercise during the winter. When
he rounded into pitching form he
proved the Bender of old, one of
the hardest men in the league to
hit.
With Alexander, Rixey and Law
ender gone from the Phillies it
looks as tho Bender will have
to assume the role of star pitcher
for Moran's team. Robinson has
lost Sherry Smith and Cadora
from his battery staff and Mar
guard probably will be called upon
to assume the premier position

He Is 6 feet 2 inches tall and

is experience and he will be care
