He went On the stage as a monolOgue artist d year ago and stuck to the ask with much perseverance, but .a,, the ether day he surprised the world Wita the announcement that .c wanted to fight again. probably ns,aU~e he couldn'. stand the sight at so many yoVng fellows boxing for ,ar purses.
 Kid Mccoy is another example. He tough, fir all kinds of mcneE in the ..I days and won lot of it. But l.- Investments were unfortunate and he was always in financial straits. He ried his hand al various financial schemes both here and in Enrope, .u. for some reason he could not .tclced.

His ring ca reer was ended when he accidentally shot off his right thumb while fool ing with gun. Walcott made plenty of money when he held the title. but like other colOred fighters he didn't know the value of it. His chum. the late George Dixon, who held the featherweight championship for a dozen years, died in the hos pital alone and without a penny, yet during his career in the ring he must have earned all of $250,000. When Joe Cans. who lost the worlds light weight championship title to Battling Nelson. died a year ago, he left very little property, although he won a snug fortune with his fists.
 Probably no fighter ever got away with more money than did John l.. Sullivan. The former heavyweight champion once told The Sun man that he had killed a million" Fer years Sullivan literally threw his money to the four winds. He was known everywhere as a reckless spender, and he never found himself without thirst following. He often admitted that had consumed 'an ocean of booze, and wasn't a bit
