	Per the Dec. 19, 1918 ''Tacoma News-Tribune'', [[Biddy Bishop]] met Kearns, who was driving a horse team at the time, soon after Bishop had moved to Spokane from San Francisco after the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. Bishop and Kearns joined forces to start a newspaper, but the paper folded after only two editions had been published. While Bishop then went his own way, Kearns moved on to manage [[Kid Scaler]], and then to Vancouver, British Columbia, where he eventually hooked up with [[Fighting Dick Hyland]]. From there, Kearns went to San Francisco, where he took over the helm of [[Fighting Billy Murray]]. They both sailed to Australia, when Kearns had [[Joe Bonds]] sent over from the States to fight in Kearns's small stable. When Kearns returned to San Francisco, [[Jack Curley]] turned over to Kearns the management of "an obscure boxer in Salt Lake City"--the future world champion and boxing icon [[Jack Dempsey]]. See also, August 17, 1917 ''Seattle Star'' [http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn87093407/1917-08-17/ed-1/seq-10/]. Kearns later managed [[Mickey Walker]], [[Archie Moore]], and [[Joey Maxim]].
