MANAGER
MAKES REPLY
Cohen Claims Hertz Willing to
Fight CarroII-Terms
Holding Up

Maurice W. Cohen, manager of
Benny Hertz of Carteret, today X
plains his side of the controversy re-
-garding the booking of a bout be-
tween Johnny Carroll. also of Car
teret, and Hertz.
The Cohen communication fol-
lows:
"Carteret, N. j., Feb. IS, 1923
Perth Amboy, N. ].
Sporting Editor Evening News,
Dear Sir:
Having reference to the article
which appeared in your issue of
February IL, 1923, signed by William
Nash, manager of Johnny Carroll of
Carteret, relative to match between
his protege and Benny Hertz, who is
under my management, I wish %
state my position as regards same.
Benny Hertz is a young man just
starting in the boxing game and is
not looking for any notoriety in this
way as he fully realizes that his:
reputation must be made by actual
performance in the ring. l am will
ing to make this match If a proper
guarantee is offered, the article
above mentioned does not quote any
SpGClilC d1llOdltb, G44lLPlJ SlcAilAi9 PSh 2
centage of 1890, winner take all,
etc, which might or might not
amount to $4,000 or SO cents. An
offer was made for this match but
the amount stipulated was not more.
than Benny Hertz received for the
semi-dnal bout with Joe Moore re-
Gently at the Center A. G. show and
in view of the importance of the
match, and the added drawing power
of same, the match being the final
bout and with a boy who has met
and held his own with the best IN
this vicinity for the past few years,
I deem 1t right and proper that
Hertz should receive his Just share OF
the proceeds. If Johnny Carroll
wishes to turn his share over to
charity that is his privilege. but that
does not. detraet from MY position
that Hertz should receive equivalent
compensation in accordance withrthe
Importance of the contemplated
match.
I'm closing would state that if a
satisfactory guarantee is onered
there win be no trouble on my part
in closing for this match, and l trust
that this will close the matter as far
as newspaper communications are
concerned. =
"Thanking you in advance for the
publishing of this letter in your a l
ued paper, / remain
"Yours in sport,
"MAURICE w. COHEN,
Manager of Benny Hertz
This bout was proposed o the
Mike Cotter benefit show a week to-
morrow.
