PROMOTER PLANS HUGE ARENA TO VIE WITH GARDEN

gfex Rickard Has Real Business Rival in Umberto Fugazy. By Jimmy Powers By NEA Service Writer JCEW YORK, Feb. 15. —“Theresa guy, Umberto, heesa no bloof!” Signor Umberto J. Fugazy most assuredly doesn’t fool, if you gather the impression I intended to convey in the words of Antonio, his voluble and valuable valet. The non-hluffable signor is going to be very much in the fistic bigtime during 1927. Gei.e Tunney ran into a panic when the alert-eyed Italian waved SSOO.OOO under his esthetic nose. Gene thought the offer was composed largely of well-known hooey. Did that goal Umberto? Keeps Polo Grounds Well, there was little untasted spaghetti and raviola on the gentleman’s supper china that night, for announcement was made of a $6,000000 sports arena to be built in Brooklyn in March. Who was the owner? Signor Umberto Fugazy. AVho leased the Polo Grounds for outdoor boxing in 1927? Signor Umberto Fugazy. Who staged the Delaney-Berlen-bach, Delaney-Gorman and SharkeyWills bouts? Signor Umberto Fugazy. The signor is whooping it up here Rnd, as the aforesaid Antonio would lave it, and as many dubious others are at last beginning to acknowledge —he meahs a business that is far removed from the monkey variety. And now a little “poisonal’’ stuff on the signor. Alert and Decisive He is of medium height, broad shouldered, given over to neatly pressed blue suits, starched white collars and cuffs, and bright colored ties. He has shining, alert eyes that denote keenness of mind and decisiveness of action. He used to work in his father’s bank, but ran away and entered the ring under the name of Jack Lee. He managed Freddy Welsh and Jimmy Goodrich into championships. He owns a New York movie house that cost him $500,000 to build. When he heard Tex Rickard had taken over the Garden at a cost of $3,000,000 he said laconically: “Huh, that’s very fine—l think I shall build myself instead of a $3,000,000 one a $6,000,000 one.” I And that’s just what he did and his leasing the Polo Grounds for all outdoor boxing in 1927 made the same Rickard nothing if not sick at the tummy.
