Flanagan Chosen Business Manager For Johnson Fight
Tom Flanagan was named business manager for Jack Johnson the colored champion until July 5, 1918. Johnson stated Flanagan would handle business affairs while he resumes training, with Flanagan and Sig Hart doing clerical work and Johnson’s name attached to all contracts. Johnson trained with a 12 mile morning run and planned gym work, but music and a bass viol occupied the private quarters due to cold and low weight.
