Like} many other boxers do, Dundee got} to the point where ho thought St/ ‘was an unnecessary expense to have @ manager cutting in on 25 per cent of his earnings and, belleving that he could handle his own affairs, Dundee dismissed his manager.

It has long been debated whether managers are an influence for good or bad with a boxer. There are examples to support both sides of} the argument, but there are vastly | more boxers who have succeeded with managers than those who have gone it alone to thetop. Johnny Kilbane, former world’s featherweight champion, was per haps the most prominent example of a boxer who succeeded in hand-} Ung his own affairs. No boxer in} the history of the game got more out of the investment of such little time and labor as Kilbane did, but his was a very unusual case. Crafty business br are very seldom any part of a boxer’s equipment Kilbane cut from Jimmy Dunn and he arked when he retired from the ring, that he thought D was the geratest d rainer in the business | too much on his hands proper attention to the veloper anc but he had | Sport Calenda a fortune. He made unsound fn- vestments that Ray Archer would never have allowed him to fall into, and he dropped his title because he was dumber than the dumb seconds in his corner when Jack Dempsey left tha ring in Toledo. When smart boxers lke the Gib- bons brothers never felt able to do all their own business there must ho some real place for a manager in boxing. There are any number of boxers who are mentally equipped to handle their own affairs, but it stands to reason that much of thelr. tima will be occupied by business when they should be doing the ser fous work of training. Dundee, had he a manager, never would have been lured into his last fight in Philadelphia with Kid Wes: ner just. before the scheduled Leon- ard-Dundee fight. He made a ter- rible showing and blew up a fight that would have drawn at least $300,000 amd would have netted Dun- dee at least. 20 per cent of it. Luts Angel Firpo is trying. to act as his own manager, and he has come very close to killing himself several times. Firpo can talk dol lars and cents better than any man- ager could do tt for him, but he hus made political errors, natural for a stranger in a strange country, that would not have befallen him if he had taken the counsel of a wise man- ager.

RECORD UNIQUE Bats: Over .30( 300 Mar! Eighteen Seas | of Baseball NEW YORK, Oct. 28—(By The Associated Press)}—Ty Cobb, fiery pilot of the Detroit Tigers, has ad- ded new glory to his all-time batting record, a mark almost lost in the closing battles of the season and the smoke of the world's series conflict. campaign Cobb ended his eighteenth consecutive season above the .300 swatting class and came into posses- sion of the all-time record which he had shared for a season with Hans ‘Wagner, famous old shortstop of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wagner set the mark at 17 lyears and when he retired it was the opin- ion of many that that was one mark that would stand to the credit of ‘Wagner set the mark at 17 years that was based on frequent reports that Cobb was about to retire and from the fact that in 1920 his batt- ing average dropped to .334, | That merk, the lowest Ty had hit since 1908, gave him a string of 15.con- secutive marks of better than .300. The next year the Georgian fool- ed the baseball dopesters by banging the ball for a mark of .389, and then tied Wagner’s string of 17 consec- utive .300 marks with a record in 1922 of .401, the third time in his career that he had reached the ultra select class of hitters. Another record which the Detroit manager pried loose from the for- mer Pirate short stop was that of making. the largest number of hits Wagner in his major league career, accumulated 3,430 safe drives, while Cobb's 188 made in the 1923 season gave him a total of 3,454. = ——— GERMANY CLINGS 10 INTEREST IN SPORTS By GUS M.

At Madison, the Wisconsin eleven which piled up the worst defeat in Indiana's history Saturday, 52 to 0, 23—Strength, was admonished to forget that display and to build the formidable Minnesota s they will. entertain this week end at Wisconsin's home coming taggering from the Wiscon- sin crushing, the Indiana eleven began striving for strength for some sort of showing aguinst Chicago in the next conference scrap. At Columbus Coach Wilce put his en Ohio estate eleven through wo hours of signal drill. Most of the Michigan men who trounced Ohlo state Saturday were excused from signal Grill after they Iimbered up. Scouts told Iowa tales of Ohio ate strength despite the Wolverine victory, and the Hawkeyes began to baild for power to combat it. The unbeaten Chicago eleven is not regarding the game Saturday against Purdue as casy and is con- tinuing Coach Stags’s apparent en- deavor to build supreme strength for the expected harder tilts later in the season. The equally undefeated Tlinols SUIT AS PRIZE! team seems already to have strength sufficient to cope with the twice defeated Northwestern eleven next Saturday. a Sport Notes Carl Duane, who has been fast fighting his way to the top of the bantamweight division, will take on Mickey Brown in the feature bout of 12 rounds at the show of the Lenox, A.
