It certainly cannot hurt and,

velop that Mr.. Griffith's ball club

PORN in San Francisco of Alsatian
parents. his real name was Jacques
Armand Schuel. He had q soft voice,
family touched with accent, and a
fringe Of curly hair around his bald
scalp. His accent may have come
from Alsace, because his parents took
him back there to live for few years
when he was kid, but his name came
from Chicago. He worked for a mob
in Chicago at the age of Is, learning
the sports promotion racket, and the
mobsters didn't like French names, so
they took look at his head of hair
and called him Jack Curley
He handled most of the good
wrestlers of the early catch-as-catch-
can period-Gotch. Hackenschmidt,
Mahmoud, Doc Roller and the rest.
He drew the first big wrestling
yates with matches between
Gotch and Hackenschmidt and
Gotch and Mahmoud, the latter
contest crossing S52, 900 In 1909.
Between times, Monsieur Curley
was taking William Jennings Bryan,
the Great Commoner, on lecture tours,
and selling Mrs. Pankhurst and the
Vatican Choir to the American pub
lie, and promoting Annette Keller
man and the one-piece bathing suit.
Also, he led the hunt for white
hope in the days when Jack johnson
