WALKER IS LOST WITHOUT BULGER Mickey In Heartbroken ul thi; Untimely Death uf Man Who Picked Him for Title Holder. By FAIR PLAY ICWL ItM. ?> 1M A4..MO New York. March 28 ? Mickey Walker will be a lost lad indeed without Jack Bulger, his manager, who died in Newark on Tuesday. Bulger picked on Walker when the Kerelgh head boy was a rollicking leader of a gang of boys. He told Mickey he would make a champion out of him within a year. As a matter of fact. 18 months saw Wal ker as a world title holder. Mickey Is heartbroken about the untimely death of his manager, who was a friend as well. Some of the| finest friendships that exist in* the world are to be found existing be-! tween a fighter snd his manager, as, Paddy Mulllns and Harry Wills. Tommy Gibbons and Eddie Kane,1 Jack Dempsey and Kearns, Bennyi Leonard and Billy Gibson. And none of these was closer than the Bulger-Walker combination Fans would give a good deal to know how Hughey Gartland took! Plrpo's determination to retire from the ring. Hughey, who has a line of talk that Is all his own, must! have found himself pretty much of; a square peg In a round hole In Buenos Aires. There Is sufficient evidence to Indicate that Gartland had no Influence over the wild bull Floyd Fltximmons of Benton Har bor has a trump to play with his Glbbons-Carpentier fight. Floyd, has not yet Maid what city will get' this JulyLl^plunu The one that I hopes to land It will have to htvej gambling instincts; for Fltxsim-j mons will charge for this battle, as he should. No close follower of this ring game has any Idea that Carp will' have a chance with Gibbons. But1 there is always the prospect that his < right has retained a lot of the, power shown against Dempsey and In any event the Frenchman Is a! drawing card.
