what might be termed the butterfly

end Of fifteen rounds. Rosenberg
was proclaimed the new champion
Of the world at the bantamweight

Such as he is. Rosenberg proved
himself to be a far better fighter

after the fourth. carried every

the tenth and fifteenth.
1t was Martins first defense Of

probably will do that same thing
again. He seems to have improved
on winter training and racing. He
has been holding his own in Florida

But il 10 improbable that Barney

tered at Bowie under the eye Of the
veteran Steve LAWYER, and are
training here now. LAWYERS string
is three strong-Adrianople Glad

the first twa three-year-olds by HIS
Majesty and Sweep, the last named
a four -year-old by Wrack out OF

AdrianopIe is New York bred. a
product of Clifford A. Cochran's
Runnylnede stud Of Westchester

Ogden, his mother a daughter OF
Hamburg. He won last October at
Jamaica, stepping five furlongs and
a half in 1907 in front Of Wracklane,
Good Will, Gypsy Filler, Akbar, Kath-

Shifty platers. He had previously
finished second to Bodied Bandit in
a dash OF three-quarters OF a mile
at Aqueduct, beating Wilma, Royal
Girl, WraclIlane, Sweetgrass, and
some others.
Adrianople is now one OF the most
attractive three-year odds at Bowie.
He IL q husky type, like his daddy.
Possibly he will not beat the good
ones Of his age this spring or later
on. But he ought to make a very
useful distance running platter.
Gladstone. a smart worker in
spring, last year raced only four
times. He will, very likely, do
better this spring than Adrianople.

1.-THE new boxing bill which will

for no-decision bouts. We believe
that with no-decision bouts 1t will
be much easier to get the cham

They will box more frequently and
for less money. They can pick up
the big money in open air bouts In
the summer in New York and get
the soft pickings in Florida in the

Ruth had two strikes and three

Evans put him out of the game.

When Benny Leonard was max
ing a picture out here Billy Glib
son and were talking about the
old days. Glib pops out, Gee,
Leach, if you would have let me
manage you, would have made
you the lightweight champion OF
the world"
asked him how he figured that
way, and he answered, Il made
Leonard champion, didn't / ?"
/ then explained to him that
managers get their fighter an OPP
portunity, but if the fighter hasn't
the class he will never be cham
pion. / also told him of the TACT
that SAM. my brother, got me a
match with WEIGH, who was cham
pion, and because WEIGH made me
look like a sap, was Sam a bad
manager? / then told him that
Leonard made Gibson the great
manager that Glib really is; but
it took Leonard to make Gibson,
whether Glib believes that or not.
/ will now verify the above
statement. Gibson had a dozen
other fighters before he had Leon
ard, and a few since. Has he de-
veloped any other champions be-
fore or since? Certainly not.
Do you mean to tell me that
Jack Kearns has shown Dempsey
anything that was responsible for
making Dempsey the greatest
heavyweight, the greatest fighter
that ever lived? Certainly not.
True, Kearns piloted Dempsey to
the championship, but if Jack
hadn't the ability to K. 0. Willard
all the Kearnses that live could
not have made Dempsey the cham
pion.
Now, we'll take Tom Jones, the
man that had and was supposed
to have "made" three champions
Willard, Papke, and WOlgast.
If those champs hadn't the ability
to beat their opponents and fight
their way to a championship the
chances are that Tom Jones would
never have been heard of outside
the small town he came from.
Jones also had dozens of other
fighters.
True, the manager plays an i'm
portant part. Some are money
mad and crush" their boys too
fast. / admit that the men l
named above as managers were
of the very best and the fighters
owe part of their success to the
careful plotting of their managers,
but / claim the most important
part of becoming a champion is
HAVING THE ABILITY. / had
the chance but NOT THE ABIL-
ITY. If / had that ability, Sam
Wallach would also go down in
history as one of the greatest OF
managers.
Sam will go down in history
as manager who got more money
for fighter that couldn't fight,
meaning myself, than any other
manager that ever lived, and l
mean every word of that.
Tod Sloan or Walter Miller
couldn't win a race with Spark
Plug. Your great football coaches
can't win championships without
good material, and McGraw, the
greatest baseball manager that
ever lived, can't win pennant
without championship material.
| hope / gave you good story
and please be assured that did
not mean to hurt the feelings of
the managers named, but merely
used them as shining examples
