CORONATION BOXERS SOUGHT HERE, JOE SAYS

Mission Here wichigan Upsets Whole Hoosier Feast but We Still Have That Indiana-Purdue Game Saturday to Whoop Over, Thank Goodness!

Promoter More Interesting Than Job He's Doing, Williams Says.

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 2¢-Much more interesting than his mission Brig. Gen. A. C. Critchley the man, who has arrived from England to shanghai a top lining heavyweight or two for a brawl which he plans to hold in connec tion with the forthcoming coronation ceremonials. Because of his background and his present activities the General is loosely referred to as the Tex Rickard of Europe. A comparison that flattering to memory of the old gambler, Even in sports Rickard | never dominated his sphere to the extent that the General does. All things considered he is the greatest promoter in the world. Supported by & personal roll of no slender dimensions, General is the only promoter Furope who can talk the Kind money that will interest men Louis, Braddock, Baer et Before he returns he probably will have made arrangements insuring London its most important heavyweight fight since the days of Carpentier and Wells

Not a Major But prize fighting generally is not exactly a major industry on the banks of the Thames and the General’s reputation as a promoter has been built in other fields, notably dog racing--or grevhound coursing as it is described in the more elite Mayfair circles Over here dog racing i upon as something of a racket, but in England and environs the sport enjoys a certain amount oi souna respectability. Perhaps supervision bv the Government has much to do with this. The General and his contemporary promoters are restricted to a flat 6 per cent take 1 mentioned to the General that in most of the larger American cities dog racing is discouraged as a cheap imitation of the thoroughbred scene and as a gambling bait for the weak of mind. The General practically simmered with increduCarefully side-stepping all posinternational embarrassments he suagested that any country which sought to provide moderate-priced amusements for the masses had the proper approach to certain vital social problems. Sport for the Masses And certainly grevhound coursing | ah. there Wilberforce!—is the masses’ sport in England. The season just closed attracted 26,000,000 paid admissions with a betting total of 3150,000,000. These figures seem to bespeak a fabulous amouni of betting but the General has statistics to show that the average | per capita wagering on eight races— | a full night's program-—is slightly | under 75 cents This is the general's rebuttal to criticism that dog racing bankrupts | the underprivileged. “Everything is relative,” he says. “The wealthy RBritisher at Ascot bets according to his means. The same is true of the coursing patrons.” The general seemed to feel that any policy which denies the masses a chance to gratify their speculative whims with the same ease and facility which is accorded their more fortunate brethren is antisocial. However sound this reasoning may be. the fact is the dogs have just finished their eleventh annual campaign with new all time box office records. indicating that no matter what Americans may think of the business it is firmly entrenched in the King's country-—and the general wishes to remind vou that the King's country is doing all right economically. ! Saw Dogs in Film It’s rather odd how the General cot into the business. Mr. Charles Munn. the Philadelphia sportsman, happened to be in Tulsa, Okla, one night and a gentleman by the name of O. P. Smith was running dogs under electric lights—the first time | this had ever been done, Mr. Munn had a small movie camera, took some footage of the action, and later on a visit to London screened the film at & house party at which the General was a guest. That was the birth of the sport in England. The General went right | out and built himself a track. It wasn't much of a success at the start, attracting only scattered thousands but when. it started to boom it boomed with unbelievable force until one momentous night the General was to see 83.600 in the stands at his White City plant. Thus a | small town meet in the oil fields | sponsored by an American named | Smith paved the way for England's | greatest mass Sentertaitiment. |
