Had Six Managers

It may have been he was over
managed, for he had six Of
them to my recollection and
for all I know there may have
been one or two others not Of
record.
There was, in the beginning,
frankie Mann, the Northeast
burgomaster. Then came John
Click, Brother Jim Gallagher,
Dumb Dan Carroll, Jim McNa-
mara and Tom O'Donnell. In
addition Marty had Prof. Billy
Mccartney, of New York, operat-
ing as a sort Of high court TO
his operations.
Marty never really crashed
the real money, either. although
he was the drawing card for the
biggest fight gete ever to be
recorded in Washington. That
was a $4,000 house at Griffith
Stadium with Tony Galento
trading blows with the coura-
geous local IriShman. The show
was for charity, Martyrs purse
being $500, whereas Galento had
signed for $1,000.

Shy of Grade

And again in Miami when the
piece de resistance of the eve
ming was an encounter between
Primo Camera and Jim Ma
loney, Gallagher was in the Sec
ond spot, only to lose to Slapsie
Make Rosenbloom.
His luck in SemifinalS in four
shows at Madison Square Gar
den was a little better, but not
enough to propel him into a
really important headline act.
At the Garden he won two
appearances in the No. 2 role
and lost as many. Harold Mays
was one to defeat him in New
York but the other escapes me
at the moment. Meantime he
reversed the Miami decision
against Rosso and also added
the scalp of George Huffman to
his belt.
I expect Marty Gallagher was
the most managed man Of re-
cent years to achieve any SEM
blance Of ring prominence.
