 Julian was in his heyday as q man ager of fighters at the time Fitzsim- mons defeated Jim Corbett for the fourteenth round of battle fought at heivyweight championship in the Carson City. The purse for that fight was decidedly small, but the moving pictures made a fortune. Talk ing the pictures was Julian's own idea.
 Later on Julian quarreled with Fitz and the two separated. Julian sunk a great deal of his money in the Coney Island Athletic Club and other ven lures that were more or less success ful.
 In later years Julian was the man. ager of Jim Savage, the New Jersey heavyweight, and Harry Pierce, the Brooklyn lightweight.
