Little Lot Kept frankie Mann
From q lot More Boxing Fame

Dempsey. I think he would have
beaten Joe Louis in his prime be-
cause he took punch better.
There's Tony Galento. I'll
never forget watching him drink
six bottles of beer after fighting
Marty Gallagher at the ball park"
Gallagher is one of Frankie's
prime favorites. Mann calls the
Irishman one of the most coura-
geous fighters who ever laced on
a glove. frankie has a warm spot
in his heart, too, for Goldie
Ahearn and insists that AL Fore
mans flrst-round kayo over
Ahearn was a f1uke.
"Goldie fought three hard 12-
round fights with Honeyboy Fin
negan and Honeyboy hit harder
than Foreman" he said.
Bowen Great Crowd Pleaser.
Patsy Donovan, 105-pounder
who flattened a couple of middle
weights in training, was the stiff
est puncher developed locally, in
Frankie's judgment. But Chick
Holbrook, a bantamweight who
gave up boxing at his mothers re-
quest. was the best looking pros
pect frankie ever saw, he says.
Andy Bowen. seriously i'll at
Bethesda Naval Hospital, was the
greatest crowd pleaser frankie
ever promoted.
Andy was always in good physi-
cal condition and he never stopped
coming" Mann recalled.
frankie has had his share Of
laughs as we'll as heartaches in
boxing. He likes to tell how Mike
Uraine. a 148-pounder, pursued a
promoter into a speakeasy to COL
lect his purse after that gentle
man neglected to pay of. The
story of the night the lights went
out while Bat Woodman and Jum-
bo Eggleston were battling at Ard
more is a rib-tickler with q sad
ending.
Jimmy LaFontaine let me use
the place-he owned it-against
his better judgment" frankie said.
And when I brought him the
profits of about $3.50 the next day
he was f1abbergasted. I guess it
was the first time anybody ever
gave him anything like that. He
told me to go ahead and run the
place for year and to keep all
the profits.
"Yes, it was all mine for a year.
The next day the place burned
down."

Tennis promoter Bobby Riggs
and Jack Kramer, worlds profess
sional net champion. expressed sur
prise today at Richard Pancho)
Gonzales announcement that he
intends to retire from the game
for several months after finishing
his current tour with Kramer.
In his first year of pro tennis
as a member of Riggs troupe,
which plays at Uline Arena to-
night at $50. Gonzales told the
Associated Press he was popped
out and tired of looking at tennis
balls"
In addition to the Kramer
Gonzales match. Pancho Segura
will play Bobby Riggs and Kramer,
Gonzales. Frank Parker and the
winner of the Segura-Riggs match
will play in a doubles contest.
THE one-night stand grind is
proving too much for me-" Con-
zales added. After the tour I'll
quit tennis entirely for several
months-then bang the ball
around and work on my whole
game"
He told others he thought he
might take up bowling for recre-
alton.
Gonzales is the biggest man
ever to hold an amateur title in
tennis. He stands feet 2 inches
and weighs 1876 pounds. Reflect
ing on his size, Pancho said he
also would try to cut down his
weight during his vacation from

1t is odd and almost amusing
to find frankie Mann, one of the
best matchmakers boxing ever
had around town, sitting on tbs
sports sideline when the art of
mangling features so obviously
needs a steady. experienced hand
at the helm. frankie had a repu-
tation of never making a bad
match and but for the cold calcu-
lations of surveyors compass he
might have been an international
figure in the sport.
frankie was in on the deal in
which the late Jimmy LaFontaine
almost landed the Dempsey-Car-
pentier world heavyweight title
fight of July 2, 1921, for an arena
to be built on his property at the
District line and Baltimore pike.
Short on One Side.
II met Tex Richards engineers
on a Sunday morning in April to
measure the ground" frankie re-
calls. I'VE had plenty of room on
one side, but 1t was a little short
between the railroad and high
way"
The fight was staged at Boyle's
80 Acres in Jersey City, as boxing
then was illegal in New York. La
Fontaine's idea was to build an
arena and continue promoting
shows after the big fight with
Mann as matchmaker.
Frankie's photo-lined recreation
room in his home at 3942 Ames
street NE. has the atmosphere OF
the nostalgia past with a guide who
knew most of the famous ringmen
enshrined there. Joe Cans, with
whom Frankie trained as a spar
ring partner, Kid Sullivan, Danny
Lewis, Bob Fitzsimmons, Battling
Nelson, Harry Greb, John L. Sui
livan. Jack Dempsey and many
others are there. frankie spins
little stories about them all. most
of it flrSt-hand information.
Dempsey Hardest Hitter.
"There's Young Griffo," he says,
his soft voice dripping with ad-
miration. He could stand on a
handkerchief and win money bet
ting you couldn't hit him.
Here's Aurelio Herrera. the
Mexican lightweight, one of the
hardest hitters ever in boxing
Most youngsters never heard of
him.
