BOXING IS POPULAR
IN ALL COUNTRIES

IL is surprising how tho boxing game
keeps up despite the fact that certain
class of people arc continually knock
ing the sport. Everywhere you hear Of
boxing clubs starting out. and from all
parts OF the United States, England,
Canada, Australia and France the
matchmakcrs are sending out offers OF
big purses for the most capable men.
The good drawing cards can name their
own terms and can hardly find tinc to
fiji The numerous engagements offered
them, II the boxers are wise they viii
keep their end of the game up to the
highest standard. and the same goes for
the promoters. Fakers, crooks and men
who are IN the boxing game for money
only should be put under the ban and
not allowed TO engage in this manly
sport. Never before in the history or
tho game have The prospects been so
bright and tho mitt men arc in for the
most prosperous season in history.
One Of tho most pleasing facts in
connection with tho revival of tho game
is the Way the good old town Of Now
Orleans has come back into its own.
For years tho Crescent city with It's
mixed populatiou catered to tho art as
if it was the favorite paStimo OF Ill ma
lions. The crowds always had cos
mopolitsn tiuge, and in no other city
in the country could one sec such n mix
ture Of sport loving people. 1t is not
then, to hear that France
has become crazy over boxing As far
back as 1892, when Corbett whipped
Sullivan, the French people in New
Orleans showed that they were vory
fond of this sport, so popular with the
Yankees. And now comes .Ioe Mandot.
