LAST MIX HERE IN 1917
Boxer Who Lost Health In Army

Recovering Strength.
BT GEORGE COWXE.
Edward Brewster Pinkman. the
sharn-shootinar beattle' lightweight.
w ill tread the canvas of a Portland)
ring tor the first time since 1917. ,
when he faces Joe Welling Chica-
go's contender for lightweight honors,!
at the armory Tuesday night. The
card will be a benefit for the com
munity chest.
l'iukman's last fight In Portland
was against Muff Bronson at the old
Rose City club. At that time Flnk
man was one of the best-looking
lightweight prospects on the Pacific
coast, but right after his fight with
Kronson Pinkman enlisted in the
army and it was a 26-month stretch
with the forces of Uncle 25am that
came near to ending the Seattle boy's
ring career.
Pinkman spent a good part of his
enlistment period in various govern
ment hospitals and is still under a
government doctor's care.
"When 1 finally received my dis
charge from the army I weighed less
than 100 pounds, and had been given
up as a hopeless case by several gov
ernment doctors.'" said Pinkman yes
terday, telling of his experiences. "I
was advised never to put on a box
ing glove again, but after everything
else had been tried with no results
toward retraining my health, one doc
tor suggested that 1 start training
again for the ring.
Bomloar Saved 14 la Life.
I did so last June, and trained for
three months. At the end of that time
I had regained my normal weight ?f
135 pound, had plenty of pep and
vitality and. best of all, I found that
the old right arm etill retained its
punch."
Pinkman has had seven fights since
he instituted his come-back. He has
won five and lost two. In his com
plete ring career the Seattle socker
has had more than 150 bouts, winning
42 of them on knockouts. He has met
every good eastern boy that has ap
peared in the northwest, including
Kitchie Mitchell. Johnny Tillman,
Freddie Welsh and John O'Leary, and
there is rot a lightweight on the Pa
cific coast who has not felt th'j
crunching force of his right hauo,
which is his biggest asset.
His string of knockouts includes
Chet Xeff. whom he stopped . In one
round, and Travis Davis, who lasted
exactly 11 seconds. Pinkman Is the
only boxer who holds a knockout
over Lavls.
'l never wan knocked off my feet
but olive, said Pinkinan, "That was
in the fight with Kltcht Mileholi.
v. hieh ended as 'no contest' in the
first round. The bout was held In
e-eattle in the old four-round days
ajid to make a showing a fighter had
to start mixing it from the first
gong.
"We started all right and kept at
it through the first round. In fact,
we were fighting so hard that we did
not hear the bell for the end of the
round. When the referee told us to
break and step to our corners I
dropped my hands and headed for my
chair. Just as I turned Mitchell
caught me flush on the Jaw and down
I went. A small sized riot broke
loose in the arena and the bout finally
was called 'no contest."
o Afraid of Welling.
"I am glad to get a chance at a
boxer of Weliing's ability, and espe
ia;ly over the ten-round distance,"
continued the Seattle boy. "I prefer
a ten-round battle to the shorter dis
tances every time. Practically all my
bouts In the army wero ten-round
affairs.'
Pinkman Is not the only boxer
whose ring battle with Hitchle
Mitchell ended unsatisfactorily. Well
ing also had a little experience with
Mitchell. Well ins had knocked
Mitche'.I down, but the Milwaukee
boxer had his own referee and was
given a long count. The referee
counted until the bell rang and
Mitchell was able to finish the bout,
and. of course, got the referee's de
cision. According to a report from Los An
geles, George Moore, manager of the

OLD-TIME FIGHT MANAGERS
WOULD BE SMALL FRY TODAY
Men Who Piloted Boxers Long Ago Regarded Money as Side Issue,
While Modern Director Makes Gold His First Consideration.
BY ROBERT EDGREX.
AS MONEY-GETTERS. ld-time
managers of champions were
hardly la the same class with
the modern bunch.- But in the old
days money was more or less of a
side issue: and in the old days box
ing matches didn't draw such im
mense crowds, end people didn't
dream of paying $50 for ringside
seats. s
The highest price I remember was
at the Corbett-Fitxaimmocs fight,
where seats in the ringside boxes
were sold at MO. This was for the
most advertised heavyweight cham
pionship match in many years. To
day fight fans pay as much or more
for box seats, even when little fel
lows meet for the minor titles.
Modern gate receipts for any cham
pionship fight run anywhere from
JlOO.OOtt to Jl.623.000.
In the old times the gate receipts
for the Jeffrles-Sharkey fight broke
all records. The gate was to.300 and
the fighters' share was $36,465, split
75-25.
Champions didn't demand all the
money In those days. They were sat
isfied to fight winner take all, or
for a winner's and loser's percent
age, usually 75-25 or 65-35.
Imagine a modern champion, even
among the lightweights, being im
mensely pleased with himself because
he won 75 per cent of a $36,465 purse
or $ii7.349.
That was what Jeffries, the great
est champion of 20 years ago, re
ceived for beating Tom Sharkey in
25 rounds of the hardest fighting of
his whole career.
I remember meeting Jeffriea a few
days after that fight, and in smiling
pride over his prosperity, Jim pulled
it bank book out of his pocket lid
showed me the deposit made just
after the fight, and bis balance.
Modern managers would look on
that $27,349 as chicken feed.
There were some smooth birds in
the game in the old days. Tom
O'Rourke. now boxing commissioner
In New York, not only managed
George Dixon and Joe Walcott. black
champions whose ft?hting ability
may have been equalled ' but never
has been surpassed, but ii addition
ran a big boxing club and had ail
the other champs fighting for him.
C'RouVke managed Tom Sharkey, too.
While he was given to driving a
hard bargain. It was said of O'Rourke
that his ord was good, and that he
always paid just what he had agreed
to pay, with or without a contract.
When O'Rourke had Walcott fighting
Kid Lavigne. Walcott grew weary
acd much discouraged.
"It ain't no use, Mr. O'Rourke," said
Walcott. near the end of the fight, "1
can't do notin' with this white boy."
"Joe." said O Rourke. "don't you
quit. If you do, remember that you're
going to settle with me."
Walcott took one look at O Rourke
and went out to fight. Being wal
loped by X.avigne was safe beside
what he might expect from O'Rourke.
Billy Delaney was one of the great
eat old-time managers. Ha went to
New Orleans-with Jim Corbett. and
it was under his coaching that Cor
bett whipped Suiiivan.
Afterward Delaney had Corbett in
the fight with Kitisimmons at Car
son. Delaney had brought young Jim
Jeffries, a novice, but a giant in
p-yslque, up to Carson to be one of
v'Frbett's sparring partners. The night
after Corbett lost the championship
Delaney proposed to Jeffries that un
der Delaney's coaching he might be
the one to wrest the honors from Fits.
Delaney matched Jeffries with Van
rtusklrk." with Gus Ruhlin. and with
Tom Sharkey and Jeffrie' won his
fights. Thei h took big Jim to New
York, where Jeffries broke his hand

dropped out of sight by returning to
California.

good and won the world's champion
ship. Delaney handled 'Jeff in all his
fights until Jim retired. Years later
the two quarreled because Jeffries
refused to return to the ring to fight
Bill Squires. When Jeffries was forced
out of retirement after six years by.
the public's demand that he come back
and fight Jack Johnson Delaney al
lowed his bitterness to turn him
against Jeff. He joined Johnson's
camp as coach and no doubt his close
knowledge of Jeffries' boxing meth
ods helped Johnson to win. Delaney
dropped out of the game after this
fight. Personally he was a very quiet
man with a keen sense of humor.
1 remember sitting at a training
table at Shaw's springs when Corbett
was training for Fitzsimmons. in 1897.
Jeffries and Billy Woods and 1 were
the sparring partners. Jeffries had
just arrived in camp. There was a lot
o' talk and joking going on at the
table but big Jeff never aid a word.
He was slowing away the fodder as
if he hadn't had a bite for a month.
Finally everything at his end of the
talile had disappeared and Jeff was
glancing around for more.
Delaney leaned over and looked at
him anxiously.
"Jim," Delaney said solicitously,
"you aren't sick or anything, are
you?"
"Huh?" eaid Jeff.
"You don't seem to feel well what's
the matter?"
"Why why I'm feeling all right."
stammered Jeff.
"I didn't know," said Delaney
solemnly. "You look all right, but you
don't seem to have any appetite. Won't
you have another chicken?"

WRESTLING DECLARED TO BE
ONE OF ROUGHEST OF SPORTS
Professional Game Is Considered Regular He-Man's Play Strife in
Other Sports Held Not Continuous. I
BY L. H. GREGORY.
HAT sport Ja the roughest?
Boxing1, cries a voice, followed
promptly by a counter nomina
tion of football as even rougher. Ice
hockey or la crosse, says another. Yes,
they are all jough, ice hockey in par
ticular. Yet for deliberate, cold
blooded bone-crushing, for hard
knocks and bumps, for punishment
cheerfully given and as cheerfully re
ceived, our vote goes to professional
wrestling.
Consider two wrestlers on the mat.
The object of each is to pin the shoul
ders of the other to the mat for three
consecutive seconds. Sounds simple
enough, but there is- nothing simple
about it if they are at all evenly
matched. Each of these burly moun
tains of muscular flesh is so developed
in strength, in skill, in endurance,
that to pin him it is necessary either
to shackle, him in such a combination
of holds that he can't squirm out and
eventually must give in, or to apply
so crushing and painful and wrench
ing and altogether unendurable a grip
to some part of him that he must sub
mit or be crippled.
And so the whole intent and pur
pose of the two wrestlers becomes to
crush and twist and wrench, or by
some sudden coup to jar and jolt one
another into submission.
The successful holds in wrestling
are those that apply leverage to an
arm or a foot or to the head or to the
body itself that punish so severely
that the only relief is to concede the
fall.. , .
The body scissors, clamped on by a
powerful pair of legs, squeezes the
chest or abdomen so hard thai? fre
quently it crushes ribs and causes in
ternal injuries. Usually it is made
more effective by being applied in
combination with another hold or lock.
The wrist lock applies a leverage on
the wrists and arms that unchecked
would break the bone.
The hammer lock tears loose the
muscle ligaments of the shoulder if its
unfortunate victim resists too long.
The toe hold, one of the most pun
ishing of all, wrenches the foot or an
kle so severely that its recipient must
give in or suffer a broken bone or
broken ligaments.
The head lock, as made famous re
cently by, Strangler Lewis, is applied
to the head and neck from a standing
position- Lewis' custom is to apply
the headlock from a standing position,
clamp his arm around the other wres
tler's head, make secure with a hip
lock and then fall heavily to the floor
with all his own great weight thrown
on or against the other man's neck.
.remarkable height of six feet alx
On tha. left ia Gill, forward, and
The awful wrench dazes the victim
and then Lewis applies successive
headlocks until his opponent's resist
ance is gone and he succumbs easily
to some other hold.
It's a he-man's sport, is professional
wrestling. In football, in ice hockey,
in boxing, even, the strife Is not con
tinuous. There are distinctive rest
periods. In football a man who is
jolted can call for time out. In ice
hockey the shock of encounter is tem
pered with open skating, though all at
top epeed. In boxing the boy who is
getting them too hard on the chin can
dive for a short count, to regain his
wits, or at worst if he is down for
ten seconds his troubles are over.
But in wrestling there is no letup
in the strain, no time out, no resting.
One hold follows another in con
tinuous repetition. And once one man
applies a vital hold, then it becomes
an agonizing- test of endurance, the
man caught striving to break the
hold, or to sustain it to the last bitter
moment.
We were talking to Pink Gardner,
the handsome young fellow from
Schnectady, N. Y., who wrestled so
spectacular a match with Ted Thye
at the Heilig theater the other night,
and is to go on with Thye in a return
bout at the Heilig next Saturday
night. Gardner is a college man and
a college wrestling- instructor. He is
handsome, spirited, like lightning on
his feet, not as yet greatly battered
up by the hard knocks of the game in
which he has been a professional
since 1913.
Gardner had some interesting things
to tell about the ups and downs of a
wrestler's life. Though a professional
he doe'sn't wrestle for a living, for he
and his father and brothers have a
prosperous monument business in
Schnectady. He is in the sport be
cause, despite all its roughness and
toughness and battering, he likes it.
The game fascinates him. He loves
to grapple with a fellow gladiator,
tq exert the strength of thew and
muscle against thew and muscle, to
clamp on holds and elude them, to
experience- the thrill of winning a
hard,' mauling match, or even to lose
one if it has been an even thing to
the last.
"I boxed for a time before I took up
wrestling," said Gardner, "and I even
knocked out a few men and was sup
posed to be quite a promising young
ring prospect, but after I took -up
wrestling boxing seemed too slow and
tame. There is no comparison be
tween the punishment one gets in the
two sports. Wrestling is by far the
harder.
"In my eight years of professional
wrestling I have been "knocked out
cold let's see, at least six times.
Once a year or two ago against MiVe
Yokel in the east. Mike got me
against the ropes and almost broke
me in two, and before I could ex
tricate myself I was thrown out into
the audience. I lit on my head and
didn't know much until quite a while
afterward
"Then I was wrestling Ira Iern in
Salt Lake a few weeks ago and inci
dentally this boy Dern is a comer
when he worked his celebrated. 'aero
plane spin' on me. I never had seen
it- before and even if I had seen it,
it is a mighty difficult thing to guard
against. Dern has worked on his
'aeroplane spin' and specialized on it
just as Ted Thye specializes on the
wrist lock, Strangler Lewjs on the
headlock and Joe Stecher on the body
scissors. Dern applies it standing up.
grabs his opponent, lifts him with
both arms up aboye his head, turns
and spins sideways with him and then
throws him just as hard aa he can
onto the mat or off the mat, if he is
near the edge.
"Well, he threw me more off the
mat than on. The back of my head
hit the stage floor so hard that t,hey
say I didn't come to for half an hour.
I think I can get the better of Mr.
Dern and his aeroplan'e spin another
time, but I admit he put me on a
stretcher on this occasion.
"But thing like that are merely in
cidents in a wrestler's life. If he can't
take the knocks as they come he has
no business being a professional wres
tler, for he is bound to get them. I
have had my ribs crushed in a body
scissors, and once a tough young
cowboy wrestler, whom I rather un
derestimated, nearly broke my neck.
I didn't realize at the time what a
punishing hold he had when he began
twisting my head and I went on and
beat him. but for the next two weeks
I couldn't bend my neck at all.
"Among the little things that help
make life pleasant for the wrestler
are mat boils and wrestler's rash and
infections" of various kinds. I was
laid up for six months once from mat
poison. That comes from wrestling
on a. dirty mat The wrestler's sk'n
may be a little abraded; he rubs over
a place that has been infected, and
the result is a terrible boil. In my
case this boil came on my arm, and
the doctors had to lance the arm.
tunnel under the muscle, and then
every day drain the wound by pass
ing gauze through that tunnel and
pulling it back and forth. I would
rather have some powerful fellow get
a toe hold on me any day.
"Than there is wrestler's rash,
which comes nobody seems to know
from what, but covers the body with
thousands of little pimples. The itch
ing is frightful. And of late an epi
demic of eye trouble has been going
the rounds of the Wrestlers. Ad San
tel almost lost one of his eyes from
it, and Sam Clapham had a bad time.
.
"I have seen mighty few boxers
who weren't mighty willing to take
nourishment even after a hard bout,
but though I don't eat for six hours
before a wrestling match and you
would suppose the physical labor of
two hours of hard work on the mat
would make me ravenous sometimes
it is an entire day before X can eat
again. A hard matcn upsets a wres
tler's stomach. The continuous strug
gle at high tension rfnd extreme mus
cular exertion seem to take some
thing from his vitality that he doesn't
regain for a couple of days.
"But, for all that, professional wres
tling is a wonderful sport. It tests
skill and wit and endurance and
strength as does nothing else. There
is . a fascination to it that I can't
explain certainly not because of the
emoluments of the game, for often
the gate receipts are very small, yet
one will work just as hard as if they
were up in the thousands. I have in
tended many times to leave the mat
and re'tire to my business, yet I don't
do it. I like it, and so does every
professional wrestler.
"Mybe that is because wrestling
is a sport for he-men. No mollycoddle
need apply."
