FARLEY IS PROFESSI
" Big Jim Used | to Rule Ring Game | in East
No Limit to His Power in Handling Fighters | in New York.
BY JOE WILLIAMS
Times Special Writer ! EW YORK, Nov. 7—Big Jim | Farley has gone far as a na- | tional character since the days he
used to sit around the boxing com-
mission office and listen to the! scrambled mouthings of punch drunk prize fighters and their para-
sitical managers. The commission was made up of | three men, but Big Jim was, to all practical intents and purposes, the commission. When there was an important decision to be made Big Jim made it—and in those days, as now, no decision | was important | to him unless fit | involved politics | or patronage. Big Jim used to make and unmake champions by merely issuing an official decree, There was no limit. to the power of his authority in the prize fight racket. He made | a couple of champions for the] Hearst Milk Fund and it may not | be too Tantastic to suggest that when he did so he was looking to- | ward the future. At any rate his generous co-oper- | ation with the Hearst Fund did him no harm because several years later | he was able to swing the Hearst- | controlled California delegation to Roosevelt, thus insuring the New Yorker's nomination for the presi- | dency at Chicago. It was the first time in history the prize ring was justrumental in naming a President.

NE of Big Jim's associates on the commission was old Bill | Muldoon, a reformed wrestler who ! had taken on a thick layer of piety | and holiness in his fading years. Big Jim had a very real fondness for Muldoon, but he never allowed him to be much more than a re- | spectable echo, though the old wrestler alwavs considered himself a& man of great importance. Big Jim had a deft, clever way about him and the manner in which | ke used to con Muldoon into believ- | ing that he himself was really the voice of the commission was amus- | ing to outsiders. The formality of | making the decisions
was usually left to Muldoon. This fed the old
man’s ego and kept him happy.

~N Two lumps of coal, or two loads of coal, may look exactly alike to a person not familiar with the hundreds of different kinds and grades which are sold. Its value to heat your house depends upon what is in it, and not what it looks like. There are many different grades and qualities of some kinds of coal. For example, there are many different grades or qualifies of "Island Creek," of "Pocahontas, of "West Virginia," of "Indiana or "Kentucky" coals, etc. Merely to buy coal which is called or advertised by state or seam name is not sufficient for you to determine what you are getting. “Beware of the dealer who does not tell you SPECIFICALLY what you aré buying, what kind of Island
Creek, what kind of Pocahontas, what kind of West Virginia, etc. This should be doné in advertising and specified on the delivery ticket.

J 29, It is a very saffe guide to remember that you get in actual heating value
from the coal that you buy, just about what you pay for. Any coal dealer buying the same quantity pays exactly the same price as any other dealer for the same coal at the mine. The transportation cost to Indianapolis on that same grade of coal from the same mine costs each dealer the same price. There is very little difference in the per ton cost of overhead to a regularly established, responsible dealer. The margin of profit in every case is small and there is little opportunity for one dealer to drastically undersell another without using some of ~ thé tricks which are known to all the trade, but used only by an unscrupulous minority. These od of "blending" or "mixing" ‘poor qualities with good qualities. In other words, by adulteration. Another plan followed is the outright substitution of a different kind or grade or quality for the one which is advertised at a price lower than - the prevailing price. These are the principal methods used t6 make you think that you are getting a bargain. To protect yourself, deal only with an established and responsible desler.
