Influence Didn't Work

In connection with the failure OF
Sharkey to come through for Rickard
against Heeney or Johnny Risko, there
lis another angle that lends an honest
look to the game That angle in
wolves Jimmy Johnston, who was an
nounced before the Heeney fight as
in Sharkey.
Johnston is supposed to have tre-
mCndous influence with the New
York boxing commission and with
other unofficial powers of the sport.
When he was admitted to member
ship in the Sharkey firm the wise
boys said" -"Ho, Ho They're lining
up the works for Sharkey."
But the influence of Johnston, ii
there is a Johnston influence, didn't
work for Sharkey. The same john
ston influence hasn't been working
for other fighters in his control dur
ing the past year. He has been be-
hind a parade of losers, including
Mike McTigue, Johnny Dundee, Phil
Scott and Sharkey Gwice).
After watching Johnston in action
for a number of years, it was easy to
become convinced that he got all the
breaks possible for his fighters. He
was on the job every morning when
some of the other managers were just
waking up, and he thought three
times to their once
Rickard Will Profit
Rickard may deserve some sympathy
tournament On the other hand, his
accounts may show better profit
than in 1927, even if he doesn't have
more than million-dollar heavy
weight attraction or no heavyweight
show at all.
It will be recalled that the Demp-
sey- Tunney fight in Chicago did draw
almost $3,0O0,0OO, but that the net
profit to Richards corporation was
only some comparatively few hundred
thousands. Directors of the corpora
tion yelled all over the place.
There was serious talk, in fact, that
Rickard had been threatened with
removal from the general manage
ment if he did not cut down the guar
antees to fighters, or consult the
board before he made big matches.
Without heavyweight show this
year, Rickard and his firm are bound
to show nice profit from matches
for the light heavyweight, lightweight
welterweight and featherweight cham
pionships. Rickard has them all lined
up and one or two of them, at least
are certain to run up to a half million
each in receipts.
