PUT S HIP
NQRI|lER
AGAIN
~ GEORGE A. SIMPSON

by GEORGE q. SIMPSON
What has been the cause for
Marty Gallagher's recent boxing
successes?
Many District ring followers
have pondered this question since
the washington heavyweight
came through with his fine vic.
tories over George Hoffman and
Johnny Crosse.
Some have declared that II
could be traced to the discovery
Of q new punch found while
training in Boston under his new
manager, Dan Carroll. Others
advanced the theory Marty had
developed speed and there were
those who insisted the Boston
environment, where boxing has
been powerful since the days
John /. Sullivan strobe along,
was responsible.
Many also stated that Gal
lagher since going to Boston
had greater opportunity to
improve because he had as
sociated himself with Dan
Carroll.
All these were benficial, but
the greatest factor was the rem.
edy of a troublesome right hip
where one of the ligaments would
hop out Of place whenever Marty
would toss a right hand punch.
'sDoc" Setran, a Boston osteo.
path, cured the trouble with one
treatment and Marty was a
changed fighter overnight.
THE hip first gave me trouble
above five months ago In my
fight with Will Mathews" ex.
plains Marty. 'I must have
thrown a ngament out Of place
while trying a right-hand smash.
That finished my right-handers
because the pain was too great
and I couldn't shoot over any
without considerable suffering.
"When I first met my new
manager, MIR. Carroll, in BOS-
ton, I told him abOut the
trouble and he took me to
"Doc" Setran. Gee, that guy
made me all right at once.
Was / happy? Say, I was
just like . boy on Christmas
morning because I could
swing that old right with ease
again"
Gallagher, resting at his home

toys again. He bears no scars or
twisted ears, the insignias Of box.
ers, and looks the picture Of fight
ing condition. Tipping the scales
ct 200, pounds, six pounds over his
normal fighting weight, Gallagher
has done hardly any training here
except an occasional short walk.
II have just had three teeth
extracted" added Gallagher "and
perhaps Mr.. Carroll wants to
know how 7 am getting along be-
fore he signs me UP to fight
again"
Gallagher feels that he
may be given . spot on the
Sharkey-S Scott menu at Miami
on February ~. Jim Maloney,
also under CAROLS manage.
naent, Is on the card and
probably Carroll is trying to
arrange . bout for Gallagher.
Gallagher was decisioued by
Johnny Crosse in one Of the pre-
liminarieS to the Stribling -Sharkey
scrap at Miami last year.
Gallagher picks Sharkey to beat
Scott at Miami, though not goine
on record shat the Boston boxer
will score knockout.
"Scott'S record doesn't compare
With Sharkey's, who has beaten
better men than the Britisher."
Gallagher also spoke highly OF
The Washington Times Miami
Fight Trip Party. He thought II
. splendid idea and one that
would prove popular. He was
amazed at the low cost Of $125
and ventured that many Wash
tngtonians would take ADVANTAGE
