ONE ON SLICK"

This other story brings out that
demon announcer, "Slick" Hermann,
in a queer and quaint change of
tune. 1t was about 1913, but even
then Slick was fumbling his
speeches. Most of all he was a
partner of Hack in operating the
old Phoenix A. c., now the South
ern A. c.
At that same time Jack Dillon was
greatest favorite of them all, a man
killer in every sense of the word.
But on this night in question 1t was
bitter cold and the crowd was re-
grettably slim.
At 5 o'clock as many as rs fans
had passed through the doors when
Slick" dashed into the office with
this remark:
I'VE can't put on the show. Billy"
And, why not?" questioned
Hack, with visions of lost fighter
or an injured star at least.
'Nobody's in the house. And we'll
lose wad of dough"
Don't worry, the show goes on"
At S:15 Slick returned with the
same old story and got in return
the same answer. At 6: 80 Hack
told him the show was ready to
start and the club must accept it's
loss.

GAMBLING.

Gambling and blindness are closely
allied; the one precedes the other.
Gambling is a great aid to blindness.
Nothing is half so powerful. Is II
any wonder then that considerable
comment followed the decision last
Monday night of Billy Hack, who
awarded Gene Martinelli a verdict
over Kid Roth, in their eight-round
skit at the Southern A. CO More
money had been wagered upon the
outcome of this clash than upon any
match in recent weeks and every
dollar bet added one more drop of
binding fluid into the eyes of the
gambling element.
Money is life to the average Amer
lean. His one ambition is to OBJ
tain 1t in huge gobs and once at
tanned he cares no more for the we'll
known buck than he does for his
right eye. Consequently when he
lays down the coin Of the realm upon
one fighter he is so intensely
wrapped up in the. performance of
his entry that he fails to see the
other in action. The result? He
gets cramped, shriveled. half baked
and skeletoniZed idea of what is
happening. In even simpler words
he sees so per cent of the battle. He
watches his standard bearer swing
and duck; jab and cross. But thai
is all. He doesn't see John H. Oppo-
sition crossing with a deadly right,
landing with a powerful hook and
tearing up the defense with rat
Ting attack that can not be checked.
This is no idle chatter either. 1t

an oft told story, so brimful of truth
and common sense as to be accept

THE EVIDENCE.

In the Martinelli- Roth affair there
could have been no other decision.
A draw verdict would have been
rank. A Roth triumph would have
been robbery.
Here Is what happened: For the
first four rounds Roth led by a
slight margin and in the next four
was dead on his feet on three sepa-
rate and distinct occasions. He was
saved by the bell once and was leg
and arm weary twice again from
crashing rights to the point of the
law. At the finish he was carrying
two discolored lamps, a deep cut and
badly swollen pair of lips. Marti-
nelli was unmarked.
I'm other words, while we grant
that Roth established an early lead
he failed to make it impressive and
he left no traces of his own attack.
Against this Martinelli all but put
Roth out of commission and spotted
him in the manner of well-devel-
oped leopard.
After il was over a fan stepped up
to Hack to opine: BILLY, l thought
Roth should have had a draw"
How much did you bet?"
Twenty dollars"

and minus $25 worth Of Martinelli."
