AbOutFights
and Fighters
BY LEO H. LASSEN

COMPARISONS OF fight
Y grS, like the selections Of
all-Star football teams, mean
rothing more than the opin-
ions of various individuals
based upon their observations
and while they accomplish
nothing except talk, they are
nevertheless interesting.
The other night in this coli
umn, Dan Salt was quoted as
saving that Tod Morgan was
n better featherweight than
Eddie Campi. And now John
Flammer, who is m business
here, and who used to man
age Campi, has a few things
TO say upon the subject.
Flammer knows what the
fight game is all about and
the bugs should be interested
in his views. They follow:
Tod Moysun is very clever hoy.
The best fighter Bt i26 pounds in the
West and as fast over the siXrounI
route as Jimmy Duffy Is iu four
rounds.
"But De isn't the boy that Eddie
Campl was. I'm the first place he
isn't as fast a thinker. l consider
Tod a miniature Bob MeAIuster and
Campi a Mike Gibbons. SO use your
own Judgment.
"When I sent Camp East TO New
York from san Francisco 20 George
Engle. who had F'rauk Klaus, Benny
Leonard was just starting In the
glove racket and 10 was Campi who
taught Benny practically all that he
knows about the boxing science.
when Leonard came West TO
fight Johnny Mccarthy a few years
ago az san Francisco. he requested
me to get Campi for him 10 work
with in his sym training. but had 10
work with Harry Pclsinger as Campi
was busy Camp saw Leonard IN
his workouts and that was the last
time they met, as Camp was dead
soon afterwards.
Dan Salt. I see. says that Morgan
Is better than CampI was. but
think that Campi fought tougher op.
ponents. Morgan has yet to prove
himself and right now I think Campi
rates as the better Of the two"
