HOME COOKED MEALS 0'CENTS 2/ Jimmy Jones, a a referee’s decision in Boston from Dave Shade. a Fight Mentor Who Runs Biggest String of Boxers In the Country Throws Away Chance for One of Own Men; He’s Crafty at That MY HENRY L. FARRELL, NEW yorE™ nited Press Sports Editor). Aug. 15.—(United Press).—Just recently oung welterweight from Youngstown, won The New York Boxing Commission, which had previously awarded the welterweight championship to Shade because Mickey Walk- er, the official champion, would not fight, was then put under the job of setting up a new champion. The others are mainly a bother and Leo Flynn, manager of Shade, was asked if he could produce any rea- sons to show why his fighter had not lost the title. Flynn is as crafty © manager as there is in the business, rather sur- prised the commissioners when he, with little fuss, sald: “If Shade had any claim to any kind of a title he certainly blew it when he blew that decision. Jimmy Jones is the champion.” Considering that the main tdea of Practically every boxer and every manager is to get a title and then hold it, the attitude taken by Flynn in passing away a championship with- out an argument was surprising. Fiynn has the largest string of box- ers in the country and his earnings are said to average over $200,000 a year. He has to have some ideas to have made such a success of his busi- ess and some of his theories unique. ‘What did that title mean to us?” he asked, in explaining his Ideas. “There are only two titles that have nny great value, the heavyweight are they cause a lot of trouble. “There may be some glory and fame in being a champlon or the manager of a champion, but there is a lot of grief with it. Say what they may, boxers and their managers are in the game purely as a business propo. sition. If not, why are they not ama. teurs? Smart boxers know that the fame they get out of championships is ghortlived and that they are soon forgotten when they drop out of sight Consider how many great fighters there have been tn the past and how many of them are remembered today. “Take the case of Dave Shade. He is the greatest drawing card in the ring outside of Dempsey and Leonard. He has had forty fights in the last two years, and because he fought of- ten for good purses he finds himself at the age of twenty-one fixed for the rest of his days. In two more years he can retire for the rest of his days, if he wants to. “Shade gets a lot of work because he draws better as the fighter who could beat the champion if he got a chance, than the champion who Is always being held up by other man “With ne title to worry about, we can sand Shade in any place with| any referee, in any kind of @ decision Qght, as often and as for as much money as we want. If he loses a de- aision, it 1s forgotten after he has his next fight. “With a title we would have to ar- gue and fight about referees, welght forfeits and a hundred other things ard just as soon as he lost the title or was jobbed out it, he would cease to be such a drawing card. Former cham- pions have little lustre. “Since Shade {s considered all over as the next man to the welterwalght championship, we get more offers than we can handle and with our ser- vices so much tn demand, we can raise our bid to a champton’s price. Other managers, with ‘hopes,’ figure: ‘If we can feat Shade we can make our fighter.’ It all makes business for] us.” eee Flynn made a fortune for himself end for Bill Brennan by capitalizing Brennan asa trial horse for other| heavyweights. | “Brennan has been through for| three years but he made a lot of! money, while other better fighters were not getting work. The process was simple. We held Brennen up as the only man, up to that time, who had gone twelve rounds with Demp- sey. Other managers with eyes on the heavyweight title figured that if thelr fighters could stop Brennan in shorter time than Dempsey did they would have a big fighter. We got the business,” Flynn said. Along with others, Flynn has raised his voice in protest over the side- tracking of Harry Wills as the next opponent for Dempsey in a heavy- weight championship fight. “This color thing doesn't go In the fight game,” Flynn said. “They're all} just fighters under the skin. Wills is getting a raw deal. He could take| all the contenders in the division and ck them one after another in one evening. If he tried to fight the bums| that Firpo has been knocking over, he would have an injunction served | on him. He has sparing partners that could stop Firpo before he got his right hand back, “Remember, a couple of years back er, whom the public should have backed to the limit, was working up for a championship fight. Martin was fighting a lot of stiffs and the public got so mean abeut it that Martin was practically run out of the business. “Then take the case of Firpo, « foreigner here for nothing but the money. He knocks over worse bums than Martin ever thought of, and in less than a year he is shoved into a bout with Dempsey. “You may be wondering why I have all this interest in Wills, and I'll tell you. “If Wills knocks over this color ob stacle, they'll have to listen to Kid Norfolk's challenge for the light heavyweight championship and Pana- ma Joe Gan's challenge for the mig dleweight title. “They are both colored boys and—+ they are my fighters.” ————____ DO YOU KNOW By United Press Q.
