zen KlCkAftD stood outside the
armory over in Newark last
Monday might watching
rPrcrotyd OF something like 5000 storm
ing narrow door trying 20 get into
81 the Fulton-Wills fight. There wasn't
a semblance OF order and no one was
present In authority TO regulate things.
"a few soldiers stood on the top Of a
harrow stairway vainly trying to keep
yfthe mob in check. They might Just
IS well have tried TO stop the rush
VI water at Niagara.
NOW. that's what call a down
right shame" said Tex. Nothing
like that could happen>under my man
agement at the Garden. Here are
hundreds Of men. ticket holders, down
piehere in the street with absolutely no
chance Of getting into the building
And II by any superhuman effort they
Go get in, the chances are they'll get
stno seats Those soldier boys are of
- 20 use in handling fight crowd OF
any size. l had them at Toledo, and
l'- know.
2fae Wait til the Garden opens. You
a~-ean bet there'll be no such misman-
ID, Egoment as this. I'll have entrances
lvthrough which people can walk az II
going 10 theatre, and everybody
with a coupon calling for a seat will
get that seat and no other Ill run
a. The Garden as | would theatre.
49, III any one comes an hour after the
II curtain goes up he'll find his seat
hnoccuplod and waiting for him. And
that's as It ehould be.
~ 6GTHERE was no confusion at the
Willard Moran bout in the
Garden. There were no
jammsd aisles. and no pushing, strug-
- Cling crowds. Everybody mad plenty
OF room In which to walk to the sec
AZ tion in which his seat was located"
Richard Is certainly a wonder at
n, handling crowds. At Toledo, when
Dempsey and Willard fought, there
wasn't the slightest difficulty expert
enced in finding your own seat. As
49, you approached the arena, big signs
81 Indicated the various sections. All
YOU had 20 do was read your ticket.
md out what section your seat was
~ in and walk TO that entraRce. Once
through the gate ushers directed you
updo just the place your ticket called
~ for. Because Of the number of Sec
tions, each with It's own entrance
there was no necessity for crowding.
~ ToHN JENNINGS. tho Jersey city
boxing promoter. is bent on
49, pushing the Investigation OF Mon
day nights Newark bouts to the limit.
og.It seems as II Mr.. Jennings has made
direct set for the scalp OF John
sis7 smith Chairman Of the Boxing Com
30 nilsson. In his detailed complaint 70
Gov. Edwards, Jennings says Smith
e. permitted the mixed bout between
r Wills and Fulton in violation of the
A~rprovislons Of the boxing law. That
geIfalso In permitting Fulton to box he
fs5ldid so In reputation OF a statement
he made over his own signature after
the Fulton Dempsey bout at the Har-
l.sp.pison. ~ j., ball park. At the time
80 Smith called Fulton a confessed faker
and gave everybody TO understand
that he would be barred forever from
81 Jersey rings,
'., - 'why. some time ago" says Jen-
,nings, "when l wanted to put on Joe
Jeanette, citizen OF Jersey. a credit
10 the boxing game, a half white man.
With mos honor In his system than
all the fighters I ever knew, l was
fold II couldn't be done, and II wasn't;
MNbut when the Newark Sportsmen's
a Club took over the international
Clubs show, the mixed match was
- considered perfectly proper"
Jennings insists that the holding
Nsof bouts IN a state armory Is illegal.
ct might have had an armory In
Jersey City in which To conduct my
Drhs shows" he says but after reading
the law and finding out that armorlei
~ could DO used only for athletic pur.
poses by citizens or school children
without financial returns TO any one
/ refused TO take II. Instead I wen
q, out and spent $4,000 erecting an oper
air arenn Of my own. I've put more
Arr, money into boxing than that Newark
crowd ever did, and II was for th'
sake OF the sport. The Newark coteri,
don't care a hang for the sport
They're In II for the money and moth
ing else"
Jennings Is a fighter and hard I,
appease. He says he's going 10 SCI
this Investigation through II he neve
does anything else.
