SAN FRANCISCO BOXING
MANAGERS ADMIT THEY
HAVE ' THING TO LEARN
WELL KNOWN BOXERS ON CARD WEDNESDAY, FEB. 27
Dolph Thomas and Tommy Simpson Breezed Into the North to
Trim the Hicks and Got Clipped Themsejves by Trying to
Feather Their Nests With the Portland Promoters.
By R. A. Cronin
rpKAVKLIN'G TOMMY" SIMPSON and "Diligent Dolph"
I Thomas, two San Francisco boxing managers, are whetting
up their bolos for each other as a result of simultaneous
i-.its to' Portland and the Good Judge Flanigan of Portland is
Miiggering up his mackinaw sleeve.
The foxy old judge played the two Frisco managers against
-" ach other anil saw Al Sommers get a draw with Battling Oretga,
artually shading the Mex, and Muff Bronson beat Frankie Farren,
who became punch-clumsy and stepped on his own foot, necessi
tating the use of crutches.
Thomas and, Simpson returned south together and mutual sym
pathy brought out. the closely guarded secret of each manager's
noodle.
"Tommy, old boy, we hadda hard
llrne up there, eh? I been thinking
thin Ihlng over, Tommy, and I guess
ub native sons oughta stick a little
closer together. Thans right. I guess
that guy Klanlgnn plucked the 1' out
of native on iih. I been looking It up
In the dictionary and T find 'naive'
mean" artU'Ks or unsophisticated.
.'At's n. ToniM!". H'vl I C 'csx they
ran call uh 'naive' after (his an' get
away with it. I been about as un
snphlsticuted uk a booh makln'
Market street the first time from
Yolo county."
Mmpon Admits AH
"Gulltyvls me, Dolph ; I pay guilty
and more. They oughta sentence me
to live In Hacrametito the resta my
life. I denerve it. Slick Joe Flanigan
surely hung a record-maker on my
stable. Well, Dolph, let's admit we
disgraced the old city and were a
couple of hick hi n lingers abroad wltht
the wise birds. We gottit cumin' to
us and we might as v. ell admit it.
Will you ulial.rt ,011 it?"
It is h matter of record that Dolph
and Tommy passed out the right
mitts with an apiearance of cor
diality, but It is asserted that each
sleeps with one eye open and a
stillet' under the old pillow. ,
Who' Who In Cae
Ami here is the whole story:
Tommy Simpson is counsellor and
nt-xt friend of Battling Ortega and
Jimmy Duffy.
Dolph Thomas is the friend, phi
1 -H'lpher, guide mid free' boarder of
' I'Vankle Kurren.
Thomas made these parts first
with Frankie Farren and after
Frankie uckcd Ale TPambitas,
Dolph naturally became prldeful.
Also hoiccame loquacious and con-
fldential.
He and Flanigan are. or have been,
good friends. Ditto for Simpson In
the Flanigan calling list.
. AVa Only a Volunteer
When Flanigan had Al Sommers,
the northwest mlddlew eight, matched
with Ortega. .Thomas volunteered to
help shape Sommers for the battle
with the Mexican, who is the pride
of CalKornla and a battler who can
sometimes beat the best of them.
"Say. Al." said Thomas. "All you
gotta do to beat this Mex Is to keep
your right hand roving around your
midriff, lay In close so he cant lunge
at you -and uppercut him. Uppercut
him every time yon see an opening.
Ile'sj a rip-snorter for punching; to
the stomach, but he's gotta get off
to take aim. You Just lay In close.
You won't have(any trouble If you
do what I say."
Sommers followed orders like a
little soldier and shaded Ortega lit
their six-round draw. They say
down South that Al weighed a ton,
but the good Judge Flanigan wants
to wager a considerable "medal"
that Al can do 158 for any good boy
that comes this way. Naturally
Simpson Is nursing: a large peeve at
his pet's licking.
All on Account of Daffy
And now for Simpson's skit : He
didn't know till Dolph fessed up how
Sommers was able to outgeneral
Ortega. Ills part of the duet con-

son to follow his favorite pastime
of bursting blue rocks as the,y are
whirled Into (.pare. He covered
something like 12.000 miles, which
took him through California, Ari
zona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin and Ne
braska. Ford fired 6000 shots In
registered trap shooting tourna
ments and had the grand average
of 85.15 per rent.
Ford makes his home at San Jose.
For years he Jias been up among the
top notchers. Evnry year he sets
out for a round of the circuit and
perhaps travels farther to enjoy his
sport than any other shooter In the
country.
cerns Jimmy Duffy, whom he would
like to match with Bronson.
"Give Duffy a fight with Bronson
and I'll tip yoii how to beat Farren,"
said "Traveling Tommy."
-And here is what Simpson did:
After a lunching party with Flani
gan. he Invited linmson to the gym
nasium, explained the methods of
Farren and tipped Muff how to act
in the ring1.
"There's just one way to beat
Farren," cautioned Simpson. "Don't
rush after him, for that is just what
Frankie likes. Stall around. Lay
back and wait for Farren to come In.
Then you've got him right. Didn't
Jimmy Dundee always give Farren
his toughest Jights, and along that
line? This Is something these other
fellows overlooked."
The Work Is Bone
Bronson and Flanigan rehearsed
the' boxer's act and then Muff went
right out and gave Farren a beauti
ful lacing. Here's the way Simpson
explained It to a San Francisco
scribe :
"Well, that's just what we did.
We had Bronson working with big
rough boys and he stalled. He did
the.' same thing the night of the fight
and the scheme worked to perfection.
He beat Farren and they agreed to
give Duffy a chance. Now I under
stand there Is some talk of matching

In summing up the situation,

By Roberto Allenrtes
Spanish Instructor at Franklin Hieh School:
The Spanish-American people are as
fond of sports and pastimes as are
those of the United States or Europe.
Among the favorite games in the prin
cipal countries of South America, Buch
as Chile, Argentina and Brazil, the
North American traveler or business
man may find not a few that In prin
ciple and form are much the same as
those of the United States.
All the principal cities of Latin Amer
ica have fine race courses provided with
splendidly constructed grandstands of
capacity ranging into the thousands.
Here racing events of the highest char
acter are of daily occurrence through
out the summer season
They All Congregate
These events attract people from all
walks of life and among the thousands
that patronize the races, one may see
the typical "huaso" (countryman) wear
ing a big "sombrero and cowniae Doots
much' like the American cowboy,
mingling with the city chaps who wear
the latest cut of clothes or the million
aire who appears In silk hat and full
frock coat.
Tho dark eyed, rosy complexloned
Kcnoritas, displaying Parisian costumes
erace these racing occasions In profu
sion, and may be observed picking their
favorites or placing a bet. Betting is
allowed on horse races In South Amer
ica and thousands of pesos change hands
In the course of one day's racing.
High Class of Horsemen
South America is the cattle country
par excellence, and here the pursuit of
the cattle range for many generations
has developed the most excellent type.of
horsemen, animal trainer and keen and.
hardy out door man. The prodigious
mountain features of the Andean section
have produced a mountain type that ex
cels In many respects the mountaineer
of any other section of the world. T.he
bold and clever sports that spring
naturally from many generations of life
on range or mountain have produced a
distinct characteristic Impressed upon
the sporting life of the continent even
In Its more urban and domesticated
aspects.
Nowhere in the world can be found
such cleverly devised and admirably
used implements of the chase as the
South American "lazo" and "bolas." The
former Is similar in principle to the
North American lariat, although con
structed with much more care and skill
from selected rawhide strands knit Into
a cylindrical fabric.
Hunt "Varmints" With Rope
The "bolas" is a similarly constructed
rope, but provided at the end with balls
of heavv material attached to two or
three prongs of the rope Intended to
wrap about the limbs or ooay 01 i.ne am

strument Is used not only for taking
wild, cattle and horses upon the range,
but also for hunting the guanacs, the
South American ostrich, the "pampas"
deer, the puma and the jaguar. The
skill possible to the use of this imple
ment of the chase surpasses anything
else ot the kind.
'Women Enter Game
Women participate In such field sports
as racing,' steeple chasing and riding to
hounds. The paper chase In , which
women participate is a game of cross
country riding In which one of the party
rides a distance In advance of the oth
ers, selecting his or her own advantages
of ground, and at a given time the
party starts in pursuit. Women do not
participate In the "round-ups" as has
become the custom In the country, nor
do they ride 'astride.
Races and ' tournaments are occa
sions for outdoor sociability and good
This In- I cheer. The genial climate, easy living
conditions and the habits of leisure and
liberal disposition of the South Amer
ican people predispose them to the social.
artistic and sporting graces.
Golf Is Also Flayed
Tennis, golf, football and soccer are
well developed In and about the larger
cities. North American baseball and
English cricket are Just gaining a foot
hold and are about equal contestants
for favor In South America.
The Spanish bull fight has never had
a foothold in soutn America except in
Uma, Peru. In Mexico the bull fight
has been In evidence and has caused,
among North Americana, the Impression
that It was a favorite sport throughout
Spanish America. It Is forbidden by law
In all South American countries except
Peru.
Delight in Boxing
Boxing exhibitions are frequent In the
larger cities, but fights to the finish are
of rare occurrence. Very Important and
Immensely patronized events have, how
ever, occurred In Santiago, Valparaiso
and Buenos Aires. Fighters of various
South American nations compete for the
championship of ail South America and
occasionally a good fighter from North
America, Australia or Europe visits
South America to contest with the na
tive champions.
The championship contests are called,
'Desaflo por el Campeonato da la Amer
ica del Sur;" and are attended by as
many as 15.000 spectators at Buenos
Aires, or S00O or 10,000 at Valparaiso
and Santiago. Women as well as men
patronize the sport. HeribeYto Rojas,
a former policeman or nantiago. nm
the championship of South America for
five years and retired about three years
ago. Beside South American fighters,
he won contests with a number of chal
lengers from North America, Europe
and Australia.
Wrestling Is Popular
Wrestling Is in great favor and fa
mous wrestlers from foreign countries
frequently visit the, South American
cities to contest with the Latin Amer
ican champions.
Billiards Is the universal indoor game
and South America has contributed a
conspicuous number of great champions.
Bowling Is a favorite pastime In all
considerable cities and places of resort,
and the average proficiency of South
American bowlers is fully equal to that
of North America or Europe.
Good understanding and mutual ap
preciation of merit are prerequisites to
that commercial and diplomatic union
which seems to be the destiny of the
two Americas, and the true sporting
man knows aa does no other, how such
ties are made stronger through mutual
tastes.

been in the custody of the official timers. The records have been,
compiled by A. P. Garvey of Vancouver, official league statistician, -and
are up to and including the Vancouver-Portland match last'

"Cyclone" Taylor, the records show, passed the half way mark
as the top scorer. The three-time scoring champion of the circuit,1:
