Jack Curran and Marc Cristol wrestled at Great Falls last night and put up a good entertainment. Curran won the match through getting the second and third falls. The former champion got the first fall in four minutes with a double lock. Curran got the second in 1:40 with a half Nelson. In the third bout both men showed up cleverly In breaking strangles, and then Curran again got a half Nelson and forced t'he Frenchman down in 3:15. . . * Ring followers are likely to have the very best thing offered them soon that can possibly 'be pulled off, and that is the talked of fight between Jack Wade and George Dixon. Dixon Has been writ ten to and asked to sign for a match With Wade. With the proper kind of guarantee for expenses there is little doubt of Dixon accepting. And there are people behind the Montana cttam pion who do not hesitate to advance the money when real sport Is in sight. Wade personally is eager for the match. He said last night that no Other offer could be made as acceptably as an offer to fight the dusky ex-champlon. It would mean a great deal for the local boy, and would give him the opportunity to develop Into a national fighter, which Is the dream of every pugilist Wade Is growing each day In the esti mation of the fight promoters, and al ready there is all kinds of talk among the second-raters across the country who chaim to have challenged him. As a matter of fact the Montana cham pion has considered none of these, and hasn't even been approached by some of the men who are trying to advertise themselves at Wade's expense. * . • The first bit of a try at newspaper notoriety comes In the form of a letter from San Francisco, setting forth "Biddy'* Bishop's idea of fight managers, and Incidentally boosting the Bishop family as pugilistic managers from 'way back. In order to secure 'attention the addi tional note is made that Bishop will bring Queenan to Montana after the Queenan-Gase fight at Seattle, December I, and match 'him against Jack Wade. I-n view of the Bishop record with cheap fighters. It Is amusing to read the roart the Queenan man gives alleged pugilistic managers. It 1s really so good This Is the way It reads: San Francisco, Cal., Nov.__17.—"Biddy" Bishop, the well-known ptogilis tic man STACK CURRAN. ager, who Is planning a trip t'o Australia with a string of fighters, in an interview today Said: "Pugilistic managers are 'thicker than fighters in 'Frisco these days. They butt In the game as a second for some bum preliminary fighter. They are daffy on the fighting game and would take any old kind of a chance to break into the sport. After officiating as a second In several inferior scraps they get it Into their noddles that they know all about the game, and Immediately pose as fistic managers or promoters. It Isn't neces sary for them to maintain a stable of fighters. That would never do, because It oo3ts money to 'feed the fighters, an«l our managerial friend has no loose change to throw away so foolishly. He simply 'poses' as the manager, and If he is successful enough to get a m'atch for his 'meal ticket' he gets a small piece of silver for exercising his monumental gall. To hear these so-called managers do their lRtle stunt to the uninitiated, you would think you were In the pres ence of a Billy Brady or a Tom O'Rourke. They are rich characters and remind one of a tot of hop fiends. As a matter of fact the average pugilistic manager is developed as rapidly as the great ma jority of horse trainers, who graduate from swipes Into full-fledged trainers as soon as they get their hands on any old skate that is considered good enough to be given stable room at a race track. This enables the animal's trainer to got a badge, Which makes him an ace as a tout in the betting ring." In Bishop's opinion the wise and clever pugilistic manager is the fellow that can take an amateur scrapper, place him be fore the public, secure him good matches, and eventually run him into a champion ship. He does not think it requires a great amount of brains 'in steering the craft of a champion, for the reason that ; the fighter's reputation does the work. Bishop will soon make a tour of the-: Northern cities with Perry Queenan, has the latter matched to meet Jad c' has the latter matched O'Brien and Dick Case. * * * The California Jockey club is experi encing trouble in getting crowds at the new $1.50 admission rate inaugurated this year. The raise in price was a surprise. Where $1 is the maximum rate, except Derby day. To pay $1.50 for the privil of "losing his money" appears a hard ship to the average bet tor, and it is small wonder that handbooks are springing up rapidly in San Francisco and doing a fine business. * * * New Orleans opens its winter season next week with brighter prospects than for several years, because of the ap parently higher class of horses to race there. Sheridan Clark, being secretary at Hawthorne, was able to get in touch with mbre owners, and the fear of Tom Williams exerted its influence as well. It is thought likely that Sam Hildreth, Who is at Memphis for the winter, wilt later ship part of his string to the Cres cent City. Hildreth has hitherto raced on the coast. A Nickel-Plated Fact. The average man would be better off If he could only look for a $10.000 job with the same persistence, perseverance and patience that he displays in looking for a 25-cent golf ball.— Judge.
