Braddock retires - thanks to Joe
Gould:
The profession of fight manager
has come to be regarded as one in
which a man makes a living Off
the blood and pain and perspira-
ton of a fellow man. The fight
manager is regarded generally as a
sort of pariah or outcast among
men. because there have been so
many unprincipled fight managers
in the past.
That's why I single out Joe Gould
as one Of the grandest mentors IN
pugilistic history He is one of the
few punch pilots ever to consider
the welfare of his fighter and his
fighters family-before thinking OF
himself. Gould is a middle-sized
youngish Jewish fellow who aligned
himself with Braddock some 10
years ago. His partnership with
the Jersey Irishman is one of the
most wholesome stories of the ring.
Gould and Braddock played along
together through good times and
bad until the summer Of 1884 when
Braddock apparently was all wash
ed up. Gould couldn't get him any
fights. Braddock was on relief
meanwhile trying to make few
dollars as a longshoreman on the
LackaWanna railway docks when
there was work Gould, himself,
was on the touch. He had bor-
rowed money from everybody pos
sible to keep up a front. There
came the DAY when Braddock
hitch -hiked to New York and found
Gould at Madison Square Garden
and told him that he lust had to
have a few bucks" to pay the milk
manor the kids don't get any
more milk
Gould had exhausted his touch
possibilities. he had borrowed on ev-
arYthing possible. But he still had
that wrist watch And Joe put that
wrist watch in hook for SIS. He
iourneyed back to Braddock's hum
ole home in North Bergen and said,
Here Jim-here's a few bucks
sorry l haven't got more-but don't
worry about it,
Not long after that Gould had a
chance to throw Braddock into the
ring with Corn Griffin, an up and
coming young heavy, on the Primo
Camera Make Baer title card in
| June. 1894. BraddOck, supposed to
be a stepping stone, took the match
and surprisingly knocked out Grit
fin in the third round Gould got
Jersey jim matches with John Henry
Lewis and Art Lasky after that
And "old" Jim Braddock surpris-
ingly won those fights also.
Then Gould wangled Braddock
into a title tilt with Champion
Make Baer.
Braddock registered one Of the
greatest upsets in boxing history
on the night when he outpointed
Make Baer, who had been the 81
favorite. Braddock rose in one
short year from relief to royalty
from poverty TO dough-but the

CHICAGO GRAINS

CHICAGO. Feb. 1 tUP) - Wheat
prices gained about . cent bushel
in quiet trading here today. There
were scattered orders to buy dur
ing most of the day, largely as
result of dry weather in the south
western wheat belt
At the close wheat was u to IA
cents higher, corn 4 to 3s cent
higher. and oats X to u cent high
er.
Corn futures held to a narrow pri-

BROADWAY HAS FIGHT WAY OF
 ITS OWN NOW
Free Swingers Prevail Among Newsmen, Play
 wrights, Crooners
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-The recent fist fight between a playwright, 9 dramatic critic, a restaurant propri- etor, and couple of newspapermen serves as a reminder that most of tour celebrities nowadays are free 'swingers. Crooners essayists, novel, iists, publishers, playwrights, and composers all have had a hand in public brawls.
 That some of the differences should arise between the men who compose the drama and those who criticize it merely shows that the town is it's old self. for Broadway has always been 8 street that di- vides it's time between first night ing and fighting
 The trouble between Jack Kirk land who used to be married to pretty, req haired Nancy Carroll, and Richard Watts, who reviews plays for a morning newspaper. has excellent precedent on Broad way It hasn't been long since a famous novelist tossed a cup of hot coffee in a publishers face, as re- suit of an argument during luncheon at the Ritz-Carlton hotel.
 
 Rudy Vallee is crooner of plain tive love songs. but he has never been beaten hl fight. In the last several years he has been drawn into five or six scraps and the other fellow has bobbed up with a very black eye
 Sinclair Lewis, now on a Iec- ture tour has indulged in public face-slapping Blonde Mae Mur- ray of the bee-stung lips, didn't hesitate to slap lawyers face in court Ernest Hemingway, the novel, ist and Max Eastman. the essayist came to blows in the office of a mutual friend. So it goes.
 And it didn't make things easier when Jed Harris, the producer. let loose another blast against the re- viewers the other day. In an inter- View with Ward Morehouse, the dra- matist and Broadway commentator. he denounced the critics as incom- petent. They are critics only be- cause they have their jobs" he told Morehouse. Not one of them has any creative force. When their papers fold they are no longer critics
 Another famous playwright who would like to see the New York re- viewers exiled to Siberia is Elmer Rice, who made a great reputation with Street Scene. "Counsellor-a Law and other dramas before he came up with one that the critics gave the axe This so enraged MT. Rice that he made a speech in which he denounced them as drunkards and degenerates, and declared he was through with Broadway forever
 A humorous aftermath to MT. Rice's farewell was that 8 young man who approached Mark Bar ron, critic for The Associated Press, not long ago and asked him to help him get news writing job in New York. The young man was Elmer Rice's son, and the job MT. Barron helped him get was the dramatic critics post on a morning news paper

 MATTERS, ENGROSS COUNCIL

With all members present the Douglas City Council convened and had q brisk session last night, tran sactng the regular monthly busi- ness.
 Ten bills amounting to S36377 were ordered paid. Mayor KilbrTn urged the prompt posting of the de linquent tax sale notices to be able to wind up that business in due time, also that notices of the next municipal election be posted in proper time
 The wharf, streets, sewers. and street lighting system were all touched upon in the various reports rendered. Clerk Tuckett reported that the last shipment of 50 tons of coal which is all sold had netted the city approximately $100 profit No more coal is to be ordered for the wharf, at least not at present. it is reported. Audit of the wharf accounts may be completed today, the clerk said. Upon recommenda- tion of the Mayor, 100-foot tape for opening sewers was ordered to be purchased.
 Several little matters connected with the new school building were disposed of A. Shudshift, president, and Mrs. Katherine Balog, clerk of the School Board, were present at the meeting to petition the Coun- cil for permission to get into the new school by the first of March if possible Due to the various issues involved in that connection, it was decided best to wait another week or two before making any moves in that direction
