ceipts, will be thing of the past. While
the clubs were fighting to secure the big
fistic plums the bruisers were in posi-
ton to name their own terms. 1t was no
common thing for the fighters to battle
for 20 per cent of the gross receipts. When
it is taken into consideration that the club
must foot ali the bills. advertise, put on
the preliminaries, pay the help, rent, light
and license, ETC.. this percentage was
big one. Under the conditions the club
could not very well make much profit.
Invariably the earnings from these will
go through many channels before every
thing is Strengthened out. Some of these
clubs have from two to six partners, and
they all expect a liberal share. Then the
referee has to be cared for, and his bit
is not much less than 800 for each i'm
portant mill in which he acts.
Competition in boxing as well as in any
other business is all right 1t SERVES to
stimulate trade and gives the public a
chance to get fair return for its money.
But sometimes vigorous competition has a
baneful influence on boxing. 1t helps to
make the pugilist or pugilists arrogant
1t is only just that fighter should get
well. paid for his services. But the club
which takes all of the chances and must
sustain its reputation for honesty with
the public suffers in the end.

the profits of the clubs were enormous.
Two or three big encounters placed one
of these clubs on a solid financial foot
ing 1t was nothing uncommon for one of
these institutions to make from $4,000
to $40, 900 on one battle alone. And these
contests were not wide apart either They
were held with considerable frequency
and invariably drew packed house. Most
of these clubs were controlled by peli-
ticians who made a monopoly of the
business.
Tom Sharkey said recently that out of
five matches covering a period OF a little
over two years in which he was one of the
principals he divided with his manager
a net profit of something like 800, 900, Or
an average of $4,000 for each scrap. From
this one can easily CLEAN Just how much
the clubs made.
San Francisco cannot be compared as a
fighting town to New York. Taking IN
adjacent cities, such as Baltimore, Bos-
ton and Philadelphia, and Greater New
York itself. these clubs had a population
of nearly 6-e00, 900 persons to draw from.

no less than So and not more than $5. The

moters do not sign their boxers on a per-

men paltry purses. and the pugilists are
glad to get them. too
Walcott's Aspirations
Joe Walcott wants to fight again The
fact that the once noted negro pugiliSt
carries a bullet hole in his right hand
makes ma no difference to Waleott. The
why he wishes to shine again in the ring
is that he is in need of money and must
do something or starye. Walcott's alleged
poverty must be taken with grain of
danger of his starving. He had a pretty
penny boarded away. Not SO long ago
he told reporter that he owned several
pieces of property in one of the Boston
suburbs. There is no direct evidence that
his real estate has since been confiscated
The general public is prejudiced against
Walcott. not because of his color, but for
some of the fake bouts in which he has
been one of the offending parties. Waleott
never engaged in a contest that he did
not have nine the better of it. And
Walcott always received more money than
his rival whether he won or lost. His ar
ticles of agreement usually had a clause
which stipulated that he was to receive
half of the purse no matter how the
mill went, and as he won most of them it
can be readily seen that he was generally
on the large side of the register Wal
colts friends are trying to arrange ben
eft for him. If the affair was held in New
York it is safe betting that it would be a
frost Walcott is not popular with his
own race, and few of the white sports
have any use for him. He has earned over
$250, 900 as a boxer As he was never
known to dissipate or engage in any un-
lucky speculation, it is reasonable to in
fer that he has a good part of this for
time left

his first battle on March l6, 1856. when
he was twenty -four years old, ms op-
feated in fourteen rounds. Two months
later he beat Horatio Bolster in forty
nine rounds and was then hailed as light
weight champion of America. On Jan. l5
1867. he defended his title against Johnny
McGlade, whom he defeated In forty
seven rounds

title to Barney Aaron in sixty eight
rounds Aarch gouged Sam repeatedly,
almost binding him, but the gang. was
with Barney and every thing went. Aaron
refused to fight Sam again and lost the
title, for which Collyer and Billy Kelly
fought on Nov 27. Sam winning in the
1l1th round. On Aug. "a, 1868. he lost
the championship to Billy Edwards in
forty seven rounds, and on March 2, 1870,
was again beaten by Edwards in forty
rounds.
This battle was fought at 124 pounds,
the highest weight Billy would agree to
fight at, Collyer asking him to match at

During and after his fighting career he

BOXING GAME KILLED
All Fights VIII Be Barred Here
after In Chicago

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-The death blow to
boxing in Chicago was administered to-
day by Mayor Carter H. Harrison. To
each club that has been conducting box
ing contests of any kind, and to Chief of
Police OEeill for enforcement, Mayor
Harrison has sent copies of an opinion by
Corpora ton Counsel Edgar B. Tolman
which will compel even the Chicago Ath-
ietic association to discontinue its ex-
hibition.
The corporation counsel was asked some
time ago by the mayor fer an opinion on
the law governing boxing in Chicago and
the answer received today carried the law
to an extent that even Mr.. Harrison ex-
pressed surprise Not only does the corpor-
alton counsel maintain that prize fighting
anywhere within the state is a felony and
that witnesses are guilty of misde-
meaner, but he shows that by law, where
the .elation of battle and the exaltation
Of victory are the only inducements for the
boxers to perform before the public: such
exhibitions are Illegal, where the public is
invited to attend, .either by paying fees
or entering free OF price.
