Special Despatch to THE New YoRK HERALD
ATLANTIC CITY. Aug. 19.-Jack Demp-

this afternoon. The worlds heavy

They could of course tempt me with a
big purse If happened to be broke. But

Dempsey was nettled as he reflected
that certain persons have charged that
he is merely drawing the color line in
declining TO meet Johnson.
Why do they pick on me with this

manded as his eyes flashed resentment
why don't they go after the big coll

Jerseyman VIII Referee
The Wilson Bout
IL Round Contest to Be De-
cided September S.

The recent ruling of the New Jersey
State Boxing Commission refusing ref
erees licenses to nonresident officials
will prevent another scandal such as the
one that followed the Wilson, Downey
battle at Cleveland, on which occasion
the champion was accused of bringing
his own referee from Boston TO protect
him in the ring. In the past the Off
cials of the Skeeter State have been
careful in their selection of referees
when titles were at stake, and il Is
safe to predict that a competent man
will be in the ring when Bryan Downey
and Johnny Wilson meet in a return
match on Labor Day at Boyle's Thirty
Acres.
When the match was made at Madi-
son Square Garden Promoter Rickard
informed both managers that there
would be no picking of referee by them,
and the selection of the Jersey commits
sion would be final, to which arrange
ment both agreed There was nothing
else for them to do. I'm all the title
contests l have staged at Madison
Square Garden there has never been
any underhand work by the referees"
said the promoter yesterday, 'and there

Ring SUCCESS NOT
DUE TO MANAGEMENT
Handlers Of Champions Prone
to Claim Credit for All
Achievements.
TAUGHT By EXPERIENCE
Pu9ilists Who Succeed Either
Natural Fighters or Gifted
With Instructive Skill.
BY CHARLES F. MATHIsoN.

Seldom has a boxer developed into a
champion without a trainer or manager
claiming the credit for fashionng the
raw material into championship form.
If the boxer does not reach the top
rung of the titular ladder the pugilistic
Warwick aeciares the pupil was inapt
Many a manager has strutted proudly
with banner inscribed Maker of cham
pions" and graciously absorbed all the
glory resultant on the achievements of
successful fighters. 1t goes without say
ing that a manager of executive ability
who has the best interests NJ boxer at
heart can be of great assistance to
fighter. But to assume that manager
can take a novice and make great
boxer or a successful fighter of him Is
twaddle. Failures mark 90 per cent. of
such efforts.
Nearly all skilful boxers have been
instinctively efficient In elf-defence. It
is a natural gift to many men to be able
to defend themselves from attack.
A cat is naturally a fine boxer. and the
sparring of two kittens is most scientific.
So with many boys who never had a
boxing lesson in their lives but spar with
great cleverness. If a boy with instinc
tive defensive skill has the advantage Of
seeing able boxers in action he patterns
after them and soon develops into a
proficient boxer.
No manager or trainer can improve
the boxing style Of man unless he has
natural ability in that direction, and all
that the teacher can do Is to suggest
changes in attitude or manner of deliv-
ering blows or avoiding attack. If the
pupil has a groundwork of ability, in
cluding speed of hand and foot and a
cool head he soon becomes expert. On
the other hand, If the pupil lacks natural
ability and the manager attempts to
transform him into a champion boxer,
failure IS the only result
Not only is boxing skill an inherent
quality but combativeness also is a
natural gift.
1t is true that boxer of superative
skill may succeed, even though he lacks
the fighting spirit. but a man of ordinary
ability as a boxer has little chance of
equipped with combativeness and hitting
powers.
There have been many instances OF
men of little boxing skill winning titles
through sheer strength, fighting spirit
and punching power.
Sullivan and Jeffries were leading
types Of that class of men.
Corbett was the opposite example, as
he relied on boxing skill alorc q bring
him success.
All the classes in pugilism have been
replete with examples of ths two types
of ring fighters above referred to. In
looking over the list 1t does not appear
that any of them owed their success to
the teaching of any managers or
trainers.

use Of straight left and rematched him
with Sharkey. Rubin got the decision
on points over the sailor in a fifteen
round bout They met third time In
London, England. and Rubin knocked
out the sailor in the eleventh round.
Madden also coached Rubin along till
he made a good fight with Fitz for few
rounds. but the Akronites defence was
not good enough to withstand the Fitz-
simmons shift, and Rubin went down to
a defeat in the sixth round that practi-
cally ended his career
No one ever succeeded In teaching
Stanley Ketchel to box. but he was a
natural hitter Of terrific power.
Tommy Ryan as a featherweight was
the same clever boxer and hard. accu-

tation outside Of Baltimore, and while
he was a featherweight, he gave Terri

then managed by AL Herford. and he
continued under the same management

never taught Cans any boxing tricks.

Jack kearns claims that he developed
Dempseys left hand punch by tying mis-
right hand to his side and compelling
him to do all his hitting with the left
That is d very interesting yarn, but IL
lacks confirmation. Dempsey is a free
hitter with either hand. and his right
for the body is a most destructive punch.
No man can truthfully say that he
developed Jack Dempsey as a fighter,
for the champion developed himself as
the result Of hard knocks. received and
administered.
1t has been claimed that George Dixon
and Joe Walcott were developed into
champions by their manager. Dixon
was a champion when he fell into the
hands of the manager, and the first
fight Little Chocolate had under his
new manager was a bout in which the
negro defeated Nunc Wallace. bantam
champion Of England. for the worlds
title OF the class. Dixon was a cham
pion in ability before he left Boston and
came to New York. and all he required
thereafter was man to make matches
for him. In spite of his splendid achieve
ments in the ring. and the thousands OF
dollars he earned In bouts and stage
work Dixon died in abtect poverty.
Both Walcott and Sharkey were at
their best when they arrived In this city,
and therefore were not developed by
their manager
The nearest approach to improve
ment in a fighter through the efforts of
a manager was in the case of Gus Ruh-
lin. Billy Madden took Ruhlin when he
was practically a novice and taught him
how to use a straight left. In the first
fight Rubin had with Sharkey. the
sailor knocked out the Akron man In the
first round.
