in a pool of blood at the corner OF
a deserted street at midnight We'd

Theories as to the cause OF the at
tack varied as the investigation into
the affair opened. Friends of Fried
man declare theJ are certain that the
assault was the result of a feud OF
Chicago gunner, who had trailed the
boxer to Milwaukee. Friedman, who
was removed to a private hospital
Thursday morning, asserted when
questioned that he had recognized at
least one of his assailarts, and that
he believed him to be a Milwaukee
man.
Friedman was in training here for
a boxing match with Ninkey Mitchell
scheduled Thursday night.
He was so seriously beaten that, at
the hospital, he was historical.
Friedman was recently acquitted In
a gang murder case in Chicago, and
police here believe that the men who
attacked Friedman are Chicago gang
sters.
Kidnapped From Sidewalk.
According to the rather incoherent
story that he told detectives who
are investigating the case, he left his
hotel shortly after supper. Walking
through the downtown district, he had
reached Sixth and Claybourn streets
when a man jumped from n passing
automobile and approached him.
Thrusting n revolver at his side he
forced Friedman to enter the car
which was drawn to the curb. They
drove to the shadows of a railroad
freight house where the two men sud
denly stopped the car and hit him
over the head with an iron bar. As
he slumped down in the seat. semi

WALKER SUSPENSION

New York, Oct. 11.-As a result Of
suspension of Mickey Walker for one
year by Newton X. Bugbee, Jerseys
boxing commissioner, on the ground of
fighting fake bout with Jimmy Jones
Monday night, two movements are on
foot in that state. The first and most
important is to legalize decisions: the
other is to have the decision on Walker
reversed. Strong political influence is
at work.
Johnny Dundee. who will leave for
Arkansas on Saturday to get himself
into condition for an active winter
campaign, says that he hopes for great
things from the manager he has just
signed, Jimmy Johnston.
Il have begun to realize that a box
er, no matter if he has head. cannot
fight and manage himself at the same
time. Jimmy has two-year contract
and maybe at the end I'll be begging
him to sign up for rs long as I'm in the
game. It's IN to him, l guess. Mean
time, at Hot Springs II work hard
and when 1 come back here, I'll be
ready to give my best against the best
that anybody's got"
Just how much Johnston. who has
wide experience in the boxing game.
is going to receive from Dundee, is a
secret. Those who know the Scotch
wop are betting it isn't fifty-fifty. Yet
it ought to be if Johnston can produce.
No established manager will. hook up
