MAIN BOUT TO
COST MULLICAN
ABOUT S17,5OO
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Though he hardly hopes to APP
proach the all-tine Connecticut
record for boxing receipts, which
reached about $4,000 for the Kid
Kaplan-Babe Herman right at
Brass Park in 1925, Promoter George
F. Mulligan Is firmly convinced that
he has a $4,000 boxing show COM
ing to Municipal Stadium, Friday
night, July 2Sth.
1t is a matter Of fact, not fancy,
that out-of-town fans from New
Haven and Milford have already
ordered tickets for the Willie Pep
VS. Lulu Constantine battle, though
the tickets have not yet been or
dered from the printer.
Undaunted by Manager Charley
Johnston's original request of $l0,-
600 for Constantino's ring services
against the little world feather
weight champ from Hartford, Pro-
moter Mulligan went to work" on
Johnston from other angles, with
the result that the Constantine
guarantee goes at $500 with Pep
already guaranteed $4,000 or IS
per cent of the net receipts. john
ston agreed by telephone yesterday
and will sign the contracts within
the weekend.
Pep 8 to o
A defeat Of Pep tonight by Will
lie Joyce at Chicago, may change
the Pep terms somewhat, though
the Hartford kid, winner Of "A out
of rs bouts, has been installed a
solid 8 to choice to defeat the
Gary, Indiana negro who has beat
en- Henry Armstrong twice and will
be allowed to come in" at 1874
pounds. Actually, he is one Of the
Understanding lightweights in the
business today.
Tentative seat prices for the Pep
Constantine bout at the city sta
dium July 18th are expected to be
$3.50 ringside; IS or $5.75 for TERED
seats In the permanent football
stand at the stadium which seats
1900 to 5000 people and 50 or $3.50
for bleacher seats, which will prob
ably be set up at the north and
south ends of the stadium and on
the east side. With such a lay
out, a seating capacity of 10000 to
$4,000 is easily possible, at the ten
tative prices listed the show could
do $4,000 given good break"
by the weatherman.
Mulligan Is now going to work on
his UNDERGRAD, and will try to pre-
sent Jimmy Mulligan of Lowell,
Mass; a namesake of the promoter,
who showed In Waterbury nearly
two years ago, and has been going
great-guns ever since; having a long
list of knockouts to his credit. He
Is a light-heavyweight (about l74)
and a great crowd-pleaser.
Action Ahead
Pep Is also signed to box the world
bantam champ, Manuel Ortiz Of FL
Centre, Cal, in Boston, July II; and
later will meet Juan Zurita, MIA
lightweight champion in New York,
Mr.. Mulligan intends to attend the
Pep-Ortiz battle at Braves Field II

bout of the year in Connecticut

ton.

GIBSON SECOND
HIGHEST PAID
NEGRO PLAYER

Josh Gibson, greatest long-dist-
ance hitter in the National Negro
baseball league, who comes here to-
morrow night with the champion
ship Homestead Grays to meet Fred
Davis Brasscos in a night game
under lights, has given up hope of
ever reaching the Major Leagues,
mot that he particularly cares to
play among the white boys" says
Haskell Cohen In a recent issue OF
Pic magazine. He would, however,
like to put in few seasons there
where he could draw down some OF
that "big lettuce" as Gibson joking
ly refers to 1t.
Gibson doesn't have to worry
where his next meal is coming from
because only the great Satchel Paige
draws bigger wages. The biggest
money the GrayS catcher ever re-
ceived was the 5000 which Mexico
paid him for an eight month season.
A few years ago. Puerto Rico paid
him big money for a 44-game sea-
son. In return Jolting Joshua poled
out homers. about par for him for
a 44-galne season. He started off
the first day with three round trip
pers and cake walked into league
batting honors. Hitting three hon.
ers in one game is common place
with the big Gray backstopper. He
has done the trick five times and in
938 slammed four out of the park
against the Memphis Red SoX.
Spirited Team
However, Gibson isn't the whole
Homesteaders team. Speed, flash,
spectacular fielding, heavy hitting
and a rugged competitive spirit are
the factors which make the Grays
the best supported Negro team In
America.
Following their appearance here
tomorrow night, the Homesteads
pack their bags and head for New
York where they are scheduled for
q big clash with the famous Bush
wicks on Sunday afternoon.
Manager Dayi Of the Brasscos last
night announced the signing Of Dick
Wagner. New Milford outfielder and
sensational home run hitter Of the
club. Tomorrow nights game will
get underway at $3.50 sharp.

Hillside, N. j.. July u (U.PD -
Chief Specialist Freddie Red
Cochrane of the Navy, world well
terweight champion, braced his ell
bows on the bar and said, "lf the
war ends within a reasonable time
the big-name sports guys who went
into service will he able to resume
operations in big-time fashion when
peace comes, because most of them
are keeping in shape"
Cochrane is one of the big.name
athletes who has kept in perfect
condition despite the vicissitutles OF
Mars that shuttled him all over the
South Pacific through lively COM
bats with the Japanese.
The red-headed, square-jawed
Irish lad, who never drinks any
thing stronger than "sody water
leaned his elbows on the bar of his
own cocktail lounge-midway be-
tween Jersey Cities of Elizabeth afl6
Newark-as he chatted. At 20, he
looked surprisingly fit-hard ant
dynamic. ' ~'
Not SHARP ..... s
"I'm in pretty good shape" he
admitted with shy grin. II weigh
only 148 pounds. That's just two
more than when / entered the
Navy. Life in the service keeps a
fellow in condition. OF course, I'm
not sharp. I'll need three or four
tune-up bouts, after war - tc
sharpen up-before I defend the
title. Then I'll defend against any
body-against the best fighter who
can draw the most money"
1t was surprising to hear Red
Cochrane talking about money-the
medium Of exchange that apparent
~ never interested him when he was
brand new champion Of the world
when he won the title from Fr!tzie
Zivic at Newark on July 20, 194l--
when he took himself and his valu-
able crown into the Navy less than
week later.
Never IN modern ring history did
a champion In any division make
less with coveted diadem than
this lion-eyed lad who got pea
nuts" for winning the 147-pound
crown and who sarnered less than
total of $4,000 for non-title bouts
with Lew jenkins and Fritzie Civic
and charity brawls with Garvey
Young and Bobby Britton. while in
service.
Cochrane, chief bread winner Of
q family that includes mother
father, two brothers and a sister
was able to buy a pub with his
meagre earnings that has kept them
In groceries while he has been in
the Navy-but it hasn't kept them
in the style that Freddie wanted.
Ambitious
II wish the war would end to-
morrow" says champion Fred, sc
Icould go out and make some real
dough-and take my dad out from
behind the bar. I'm In shape to dc
1t. I've kept in shape, just like
the other zoXers I've seen in service
like Fred Apostoli, Georgia Abb
rams, AL Nettlow. Tony Martin,
Tony Music, Max Mark, Ken Over
lin, Frankie Duane and a lot OF
others"
Reds manager, Willie Gutenberg
who Gvorships Cochrane - keeps
telling Uae champ, "enjoy your
leave. AS long as I'm arolnd,
and I'm still pretty young, neither
you nor your family will have to
worry about dough.
I'd rather see you doing what
you are, than to be making thou
