DISAGREES
WITH OLD
THEORY
BY Jack Dempsey

Much talk is heard always
how "the manager makes the
fighter. But l can't string
along. I'll concede that a
smart manager can bring about
an improvement in a fighter
and, perhaps, help him correct
some faults.
But so far as a real fighter Is con-
cerned, l incline to the idea that
they are born-that they cannot be
made by any manager. It's only
necessary to look over the careers
of the lost successful of managers
the men who are touted as the
''greatest makers" to back me up
IN that.
II managers could "make cham
pions why Is it that some of the
Nmartest in the game have handled
Hundreds of fighters and never -
veloped a title holder out of the en-
tire lot?
h it that some managers can
pick up a fighter and find that
he is possessed Of champion
two or three years later?
The game has known few
Ohrewder managers than Leo P.
Flynn. Keen and clever, q master
In the arts and sciences of the game,
there is no more natural teacher or
developer than Flynn. Yet, through
something like 20 years, Leo has
handled perhaps 1000 fighters and
he couldn't make one of them into
q champion.
Frank Churchill, who never really
managed fighters, brought Panchc
Villa here from the Philippines in
1922. and six months later Villa was
q champion. Joe Smith, who ad-
mitted he was a novice at managing,
became manager of Tommy Lough'
ran, a boyhood pal, and piloted his
first fighter to worlds champion
ship.
All of which seems to prove that
IT'S the greatness of fighter, more
than the greatness of the manager,
that makes champions.
II fighter can't take q
pounding better than the other
fellows, if he isn't a little bit
smarter and faster, or has
more terrific punch, the most
superb management won't get
him on top.
And, by the same process OF
reasoning. il a fellow can't be hurt
by enemy punches. and can flatten
the other fellows when he lands,
even the worlds worst manager
can't keep him from reaching the
top. The value Of a manager, as
view it, does not vest itself in
his ability to develop the fistic
ability of his man. For a fighter

good as he was made to be by

half3 of his fighters, and get oppor-
hlnities for those men.
Flynn, for instance, couldn't
~make" champion. but he did get
championship chances for Bill
Brennan and Dave Shade. There
the power of the manager ended.
When the bell rang, it was up to
Che fighters. And both failed.

he is casting about for manager
and Is undecided as to the man he
wants, he would be smart In
choosing that manager who Is the

can get real chances for him when

BOSTON BRAVES
A WONDER team
Baseball Writers Begin Compar-
ing Team With Former Clubs

New York. May UP)-The odds
are prohibitive that out of every
10 baseball writer's in the United
States have found reason in the past
week TO dig up the history of Bos-
toms Braves OF 1914 for the purpose
Of comparison with Emil Fuchs
1929 edition.
School children throughout the
nation know the story of the ball
club that suffered a sunstroke while
wallowing in the cellar during mid
season 1914. and rose to unexpected
heights to capture the National
league bunting and the worlds
championship.
Those school children will tell you
that the 1914 Braves started from
nowhere to win a place in the hall
of everlasting reknown. That is the
big difference between George STALL
ing's Bostonians and the Braves of
1929.
Boston today is out in front of the
National league race with a lead Of
one and a half games. Instead of
starting at the bottom to work up,
the 1929 Braves are starting at the
top to work-who knows where?
They have no room for advance
ment while there are seven berths
below them in the National league
any one Of which would be willing
to serve as final resting place for
the Fuchs combination.
Baseball critics, before the season
opened. cast an almost unanimous
vote for the Braves as the worst
team in the league, and the majority

There also will be several hundred

PRODUCES three school champions
from the Nathan Hale Junior high
school:
Fred DOnati
Fred is Is years old, but says his
advancing age will not react against
him. He is a son of Dominick Dom
att of 226 East Main street. The
father is d carpenter and the boy is
building reputation as an outstand-
ing student in school.
Rose katz
Nobody is going to fool Rose KATE,
even in the Nathan Hale school. Last
Saturday Rose called at the Herald
office and inquired if she could have
10 tickets if she became one of the
school champions. She was told she
could have them. So she became a
school champion-nothing to it as
far as Rose is concerned. She is
daughter Of Jacob l.. katz, who is
connected with a local dry cleaning
company, and she says she is out to
.'clean up the field" Rose is only
u years old. She lives at 20 High
land Terrace.
Mildred Picl
Mildred lives at 81 Spring street
and is 10 years old. She is daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Michael Pich.
She says she will let her spelling
speak for her.
One speller yesterday who had
three tickets more than he needed,
hearing that tickets were getting
scarce. returned the extra three to
the spelling bee editor. Ii any other
SpellerS have more tickets than thew
need. their return will be appre-
ciated.
At least 10 applications for tickets
came from Hartford, while every

brings visitors seeking tickets.
