the least temperamental, requires
considerable handling. His inner
nature is not that of the average
man who makes his way throwing
leather.
He is never to be found in the
usual haunts Of the ring gentry

he does not peruse poetry or trail

Quite Domesticated
Gallagher finds his greatest off.
stage happiness in the bosom of
his family and among his wide
circle of acquaintance. He is
highly domesticated, stunning the
hangouts usually frequented by
fighters, managers, matchmakers
and promoters.
Thus he requires handling pecu.
liar to his mild nature when the
time comes to prepare him for the
rigorS of the ring. It is in this
capacity that Mcnamara found
his greatest service to Marty Gal
lagher.
He talked to Marty like a col
lege football coach. He coddled
and soothed him and worked him
up to the point of believing in
himself, giving him confidence in
the ring no other manager seemed
to be able to impart.
At this particular point in Gal
lagher's fighting career, it is ques
tionable whether he can make
another contact so beneficial tt
his ring work as Jimmy Nc
Namara lent.
Marty, at the outside, can't have
more than a couple Of years more
to do what fighting he expects tt
do, and it would not be surpris
ing if he made up his mind tt
forego further fighting, rather
than try to go along without the

BOUNDARY SET

RIVERDALE, Md, March 49,
Bringing to an end a long-standing
boundary dispute, the Riverdale
town council last night approved
the action previously taken by the
Hyattsville council fixing the west
ern boundary of Riverdale at the
lot line back of the houses on Cal
vert Street. The line heretofore
has run along the street in front
Of the houses.
This will give to the town of
Riverdale property belonging to "a
families who have been living in
Hyattsville, but getting street i'm
provementS, police protection,
street lights and water at River
dale'S expense.
The discrepancy, believed to
have been caused by SlipShod sur
veying when the towns were laid
out, was noticed several years ago
when Riverdale officials objected
to maintaining street improve
ments on Calvert Street when over
half of the families there were pay
ing taxes to HyattSville.
Last week, after long and bit
ter controversy. the HyattSville
council, by a one-vote majority,
voted to give the disputed territory
to Riverdale. The move will have
to be ratified by an act of the
State legislature, where early &C
ton is expected.
