NEW YORK, Feb. 20 - Up
California Jackie Wilson didn't
make any mistake in showing up
at Madison Square Garden last
night although it's matter for
argument as to whether the S10,-
900 or so ne got for turning up
was worth the humping he alb
sorbed from Ray Robinson.
But he made several other
mistakes in the course of the
evenings beak-busting, and the
chief one of these cost him the
fight as we'll as an assortment
of Jumps and bumps from the
belts on the whiskcrs he receiv-
ed-at no extra cost.
This slight error was in trying
to trade long-range artillery
with the Harlem sugar man at
odd moments during the ten
rounds. This is nasty little
habit that resembles a guy in a
canoe, armed with a pea shoot
er, getting in an argument with
40,000-tOn battleship. Sugar
may be rationed but the sugar
mans Sunday shots definitely
are not, a fact he proved partic-
ularly in the fourth round when
he floored Sergeant Jackie for a
nine-count and hit him with ev-
erything but the hot-dog hawk

BY BILLY ROCHE

A number of things contribu-
ted to the killing of boxing in
New York and Chicago in 1900,
but Jobs" perpetrated by Jim
Corbctt and Kid Mccoy at old
Madison Square Garden and by
Terry McGovern and Joe Cans
on the lakefront were the knock
out wallops.
So, when James w. Coffroth
came TO New York, met Big Jim
Kennedy, and programmed the
golden glove days in California,
he had the field to himself. Sun
shine Jim Coifroth, as he was
to become known because of his
luck with the weather in con-
nection with famous outdoor
fights, was only q at the time.
A clerk in Surrogate's Court,
San Francisco, he was as sharp
as scalpel, and not afraid to
take a chance.
Alex Greggains and Maurice
Levy also had permits to pro-
mote in San Francisco at the
time, but Coffroth leased Me-
chanics Pavilion, which assured
him the more attrac v e
matches. In it we're 10000 seats
on a square block of floor space.
Kennedy, who had been the
big eastern promoter, and l went
TO San Francisco to get Coffroth
off on the right foot. Kennedy
was Coffroth's partner for the
three years that elapsed before
he died.
BEST FLOCK TO COFFROTH
Coffroth quickly sold himself
to San Francisco ringUorms by
bringing out the best.
Terrible Terry McGoVern
helped him to flying start in
1901 by going west to knock out
Oscar Gardner and Aurelio Her
rera, the latter in a thrilling bat
tie in which the Brooklyn Ma
chine Gun was on his knees in
an earlier round.
1t was two years later tndt
McGovern, the most talked OF
little fighter of his time, return
ed to the Coffroth banner for his
81 cond disastrous experience
with Young Corbett.
Coffroth promoted heavy
weight championship fight in
his first year, Jim Jeffries
knocking out Gus Rubin. jeff
knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in
1902, and the following year
finished Corbett in a Coffroth
production that crossed S63, $40,
new high for boxing.
Every topnotch fighter fought
for Coffroth over period OF IA
years - from Jeffries to Willie
Ritchie-either in San Francisco
or just outside it, when he NOV
ed the locale to Colma and Daily
City.

Leaders Hold Places
in lutheron Circuit

Leaders of the Lutheran
League at Mount Clemens Recre-
alton held their places last night,
with pacemaking Cooley Nor
ticians chalking up the night
lone sweep against Koppitz.
Farmers Milling, in fourth
place, drew within a point OF
a tie for third with Krause Serv-
ice by winning two games from
the latter. In other matches Ec-
kert Paints took two from Al
wardt Distributors and Priehs
Sales won the odd game from Al
-wardt's Cafe.
Walter (Dick) Brandenburg
of Eckert set the individual pace
with 213-211 in $50.

for the $4,000 purse for Nelson
and Cans. 10
Coffroth was first to have
made successful motion pictures
of a fight. He collected his first
important money-Sl35,0 OO-as
his share of the film depicting
the aforementioned return en-
cement of Nelson and Britt.
Coffroth was first to sell ring
side seats for as much as $50
for the mismatch that brought
out Stanley Ketchel and Jack
Johnson at Colma, Oct. is, 1909.
English referees served in eve
ming clothes outside the ring,
but Coffroth was first TO put
third men in the ring dressed in
tuxedoS. In them, and working
fights promoted by him, Eddie
Graney, Jack WEIGH and myself
became widely known.
Coffroth was the first pro-
moter to properly advertise a
fight - with life-siZe posters
and all that.
1t was Coffroth who had Sam
Berger and Jack Gleason talk
Jeffries into attempting a come
back against johnson. He step
ped out when Johnson told him
Richard had bid S101,0 900. The
fight drew S270,775 in Reno,
and Richard and Gleason clean
ed up S120,215 with the pictures.
1t is the only mistake that /
can recall Jim Coffroth making,
and in the end he was happy to
have had nothing to do with a
match that set boxing back to
such an extent that a war was
required to restore it to good
standing.
