Samuel Riddle, owner of the super
horse. Man O'War. has come to the
conclusion that 1t is not always nee
essary to put n champion horse in
races to make money on him. Since
Man O'NVar defeated Sir Barton in
the great match event at kenilworth
Park, Riddle has spurned offers
amounting TO nearly n half million
dollars for exhibitions only. The lat
est offer turned down was that of
500. 900 made by Jim Coffroth to have
the champion to run against the
clock at Tia Juana. Riddle has an
nounced he will not consider exhi-
bition offers. no matter what size.
F'rantz Reichei one OF the best
known of French referees, has brok
en- into the limelight as a result OF
the criticism of the CarpentierLe-
whisky bout which was held at Jer-
,sev City recently. Reichel PUSHES to
defend Carpenter, and says among
other things that If American fight
,ers are accustomed to taking part in
fake battles they should learn that
the French champ is not that kind OF
battler. Reichers defense of Carr
lpentier Is one OF great weight. since
st has been learned that Reichel and
Carpenter are not the best OF
friends. They had some sort of mis-
understanding over n personal mat
ter. However. the referee declares he
win not permit his personal dislike to
ls,1% a 1af fTys
a man whom he knows to 10 nbso-
jlutely honest. Reichel believes the
American fight fans are taking Car
ipentier too lightly and that when
they become better acquainted with
the champion they will agree with
French fans and boxing authorities
that he is one fighter who knows no
Iother course than the honest one.
He also intimated that probably
some ground for yelling fake has
come from the fact that Levinsky Is
a favorlte and American fans dislike
to see him disposed Of in such easy
fashion.
