Evidence of increasing inter
est in the possibilities of this
fellow Marty Gallagher have
been manifested on many sides
since he put up that splendid
though losing fight against
Johnny Crosse as a semi
windup to the Sharkey-Stribling
fight in Miami eight weeks ago.
Several qualified observers
stopping over in Washington
declared Marty and Johnny
gave the customers more for
their money than did the prin-
cipals in the main battle. In
view of the comparative medic
Gritty of that wind-up, such
statements may not sound like
any too great a boost for the
lads who again face in Balti-
more next Monday night, but
we prefer to give the boys
break and assume that at least
they stayed in there and mixed
it in a manner which put their
highly-paid predecessors some
what in the shade.
No few inquiries have been
aimed at this bureau within
the last year as to the prog
ress, if any, Gallagher might be
making in his quest for heavy
weight recognition. Washing
tonians are anxious to give him
all the support he is due if in
deed he is headed in the right
direction, but the smart local
fans have no time to waste on
any entry who is merely big
and strong but lacks ring in
stinct. -,...,
An honest answer to the ques-
tion is this-Marty Gallagher
has travelled long way pugi-
listically since he fought Henry
Lamar at Silver Spring two
years ago come October. He
seems to be gaining confidence
and ability in steady strides. It
has been our secret opinion
right along that what Young
Gallagher needs more than any
thing else is the killer complex.
That is not only true of Gala
CHER but most of our heavy
weights today.
We said as much to his
brother Jimmy who is at pres
ent managing him and we
have told several New York
promoters who were interested
in having him fight for them,
the same thing. It has long
seemed to this critic that Gala
CHER has the stuff to lay his
opponent low if he can be
worked into sufficient frenzy
to cut loose.

was just a big, blue-eyed Irish
lad with a smile. He was will
ing to follow any advice, and
some of his advice was not of
the best. He has been told by
Jimmy he must get mad in the
ring and, without losing his
head and forgetting his defense,
but from his heels and flatten
out his foes at his feet.
Jimmy tells us Marty is COM
ing more and more to the same
way of thinking, and that de-
spite the boys adherence of
hurting anyone, has finally ar
rived at the conclusion he must
either hang up the gloves or
begin to belt his men into un-
consciousness.
Brother Jimmy declares Marty
is going to Baltimore Monday
night with such a thought in
mind, and that Johnny Crosse
will find Marty an even more
aggressive fighter than he met
down in Florida last February.
Jimmy has made New York
connections which assure Marty
plenty of work il the kid from
Foggy Bottom will just begin
rocking them to sleep.
The Gallagher boys are faced
with the necessity of getting
into the good gates soon, as
Marty is now in his twenty
second year and can't figure on
much more than eight or nine
years of professional activity
before time will begin to take
its toll of the young Celt.
Washington will be solidly be-
hind them in their enterprise SO
long as improvement and ad-
vancement can be demonstrated,
and next Monday nights en-
gagement with Johnny Crosse
will be the tip-off to many of
us as to whether Marty is
capable of absorbing punishment
and returning it in double doses.
