Ring Managers Full of Tricks Santa Anita Aims Head Turf

W. By WRMeCAllu~ o.

Y you'd think there was plenty Of
" air space in the ether above .
big putting green for . couple
L golf balls to pass without hit
ting each other. One Of those unusual
things that happen in golf came to
Dave Thomson, Washington Golf and
Country Club pro, and A. Dunlop, q
member Of the Washington club, when
two pitch shots, hit at the same time
by Thomson and Dunlop, collided at
about SO feet In the air and dropped
into traps.
It happened at the nth hole at the
Washington course, q par I affair
played to an island green, where the
second shot must be lofted. Dave, on
the left side of the fairway, and Dun.
lop, on the right side, played their
shots at the same time, neither know
ing the other was hitting the ball.
Both balls, hit true and high
in the air, flew toward the pin,
but as they hung over the cen.
ter Of the green they struck.
Dunlop's ball few backward into q
trap short Of the green and Thorn
sons pill few forward into another
trap to the right. But Dunlop laugh
ingly claimed q foul because his ball
dropped into an inch Of water. while
Dave putted out Of the shallow trap
and got his par 4.

Duffy an Opportunist.

MOT as sharp as Jacobs, but a
hamingly colorful manager and Q
great man in your corner, is Bill Duffy,
who had q good deal to do with Jack
Dempsey's knockout Of Jack Sharkey.
Duffy was handling the man mauler
that night, assisting Leo Flynn. You
probably remember something of the
situation in the dramatic seventh
round. Dempsey had hit Sharkey low.
Sharkey turned his head to protest to
the referee, and Dempsey belted him
clean out with q punch to the jaw.
Instantly there was screaming and
shouting and confusion. Over it all
rose the voice of Duff, yelling:
Count him out! Count him out!
Count him out!"
And such Is the power Of suggestion
chat the bewildered official counted
Eharkey out and lifted Dempsey's
hand in victory. That decision was
worth more than $500, 600 to Dempsey,
because 1t got him q second match
with Tunney.
One Of the things they tell about
Bill Duffy is that he can lick any
fighter he manages. The gentleman
has . deadly right-hand punch and q
pretty fair left. He was the backbone
Of Primo Cameras campaign over
here, the only man whom old Satchel-
foot fully trusted in his corner.
DUFFY Is . gambler and an oppor-

Jacobs Swallows Cigar.

"A IL was confusion in the first
Sharkey-Schmeling fight when
Schmeling hit the floor, but Yussel the
Muscle climbed into the ring and yelled

world championship. He had more to
do with winning the title than
Schmeling did. And when Schmeling
lost it by decision to the same Sharkey,
Joe uttered q cry that became famous
round the world: I'VE wuz robbed"
Another phrase coined by Jacobs Is
the Well-known expression Of disgust,

able fellow, his habit of smoking cigars

with the telephone circuit. When a
guy in one corner Of the room presses
the button, the phone rings It rings
whenever he wants It to. This is good
for many laugh.
Pete also has been known to put
lampblack on the telephone receiver,
thus transferring to the ear OF the
telephoner a ring Of black which he
does not know about until some one
tells him. A pioneer in the construc-
ton of pied beds, his favorite method
Is glue on the sheets. What Is more,
Pete was the first to hit the gong at
the prize ring with a pop bottle,
shortening the round to length suit
able to his own purposes.
Fight experts agree that one of the
smartest things Mr.. Reilly ever did
was to sell his famous light-heavy-
weight fighter, Jack Delaney, to Joe
Jacobs, otherwise known as Yussel
the Muscle, for $4,000. Mr.. Jacobs
thought Delaney would progress to
the heavyweight championship, but he
never amounted to shucks after Mr..
Reilly disposed Of him.
This Jacobs is a man who seldom
gets outsmarted. You can rank him
as another titan of the managerial
business, even though he now IS be-
ing kicked around by the man he made
famous, Max Schmeling. Joe is q
brilliant financier, with ideas about
money and tickets that endeared him
to the late Tex Rickard, and q fast
man at thinking on his feet.

It was in moment of pure genius that
Pete Reilly, in his spare time a close

the device that now brings innocent

Pete, dapper Of dress and silver

occurred to him that a match Is
roughly the same size as a toothpick
And Il you slip live match into the
victims shoe, and light it with another
match, it will burn right down to the
leather. And when it reaches the
leather, the victim will shrek with
pain. The rest IS history.
