Jack Bulger Dies Despite
 Pals Offer
Manager Of Worlds Cham. pion Succumbs In Newark
 Hospital Tuesday

NEWARK, N, J., March 25.-Jaek BuIRer. often in trouble with the New York boxing commission since his young friend, Mickey Walker. became welterweight champion of the world, died Tuesday in St. Michaeis' hospital as the consequence of an operation for appendicitis.
 Mickey, the boy for whom Bulger long ago foresaw wealth and success in the ring, was at Jacks bedside until the last. He had offered his blood to en- rich the veins of his friend when 1t appeared that transfusion might save Bulger, but the physicians selected Bulger's brother, Bill, instead.
 Bulger had much to do with Mickey's winning of the championship, for it was he who arranged the match for Mickey with Jack Britton at time when any fairly durable, fairly clever boy with a strong punch could have beaten Britton. It was a question of getting to Britton first, and Bulger got the match for Walker.
 Subsequently,, Bulger had trouble with the New York boxing commission for refusing to make a match with Dave Shade. Friends of Bulger said he was quite right in refusing the match, as Walker stood no chance of retaining his championship against Shade In a the Californian. At any rate, Bulger seemed to think 1t was better policy to refuse the bout and retain the title even though the New York commission should suspend him and his protege.
 In time, the suspension was lifted, but Shade has never yet had chance at the title.

 Bout <

Officials of the Birmingham Athletic club have announced tho remainder of. their Monday night card, which will lead up as preiiminaries and semi- windup to the main-bout go between Johnny McGinty and Dick Adams of New orleans.
 Tony Mareno, who battIed spectacu-- larly in the last sports program staged by the club, knocking out Sam Lavoy in the third round, will appear in the @tx-round semi-windup, battling Red Burke. S
 Bogie saab and Red Wilson have already agreed to a four-rOund mix-up, and it may be that they will settle their differences in six rounds. This matter will be decided later in the week.
 Kid Brakefieid and Kid Thomas will meet for the Jack Spratt championship of the Magic City" Each man Is long, tall, lean and hungry looking. These two fellows will settle their argument over the four-round route.
 Matchmaker Evans stated Tuesday, afternoon that he had nothing definite to give out in regard to the, wrestling card for the evening, but stated that wrestlers who would compete in The amateuk Tournament at the club Friday night week would take part in the Monday night card.
 In the meantime, Johnny McGinty goes merrily about his training and as- serts in all seriousness that Adams, his one-time conqueror, will 90 back to New Orleans Monday night minus his scalp. The scalp of the Crescent City boy win be dangling from the belt of the Irishman before the evening is over, asserts Johnny.
 There has been such a heavy demand for reservations that it has been de- cided by club officials to start the ad- vance ticket sale Friday. Every indi- cation points to capacity house Mon day night, and most of the club off cials seem to think that many will be turned away. Anticipating a great crowd, they are busy installing as many extra seats as possible to take care of the crowd. The fact that Adams holds q decision over Mc0inty has created the widespread interest in the forthcoming sports bill.
