that the Motordrome wasn't working

favorably impressed with the idea,

thought it would be better not to go

he hadn't made any definite arrange

From all accounts, Johnny Howard

Mike Gibbons. He remained the ten

Weismantel wouldn't stand for the

Willie Richie is another one of
those grab-all fighters. Without bat
ting an eye, Willie would accept 100
per cent. and then feel as if he was
being cheated. Only recently Ritchie
fought Ad Wolgast out in Milwaukee
and the bout drew in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. Willie, to make sure,
demanded a $4,000 guarantee with the
privilege of 10 per cent of the gross
receipts. He beat Wolgast, but he
evidently felt that he was beaten out
Of a few thousand dollars in not hav-
ing insisted on 80 per cent But it
will never happen again. So when
the Milwaukee Club asked Richie TO
box Charley White, a popular Chicago
boy Willie said yes-but-and the but
was in the form of a polite demand
for a $4,000 guarantee. for fear there
might be an earthquake about that
time and the show would not draw
more than $4,000, and a privilege of so
per cent. of the entire gate, with a
few little incidentals like travelling ex-
penses and training expenses also in
Guided in the contract. Those are the
demands of Champion Richie. and
he is likely to get away with them.

Organization of club owners is
needed in the boxing game, and if it
doesn't come soon boxing will be
very dead game. The trouble is the
promoters are allowing the fighters
to do all the debating and are meet
ing their demands. Such a condition
cannot continue much longer The
promoter is more essential to the
fighter than the fighter is to the pro-
moter. A champion is a rare bird,
of course, and he is worth a lot Of
money, but no champion who ever
lived is entitled to 30 per cent. of the
gross receipts. He is worth all he can
get. of course, but it is up to the
promoter to see that he doesn't get
more than he is worth. If the pro-
moters throughout the country We're
organized they would be able TO set
a price on the services of fighters.
Then the fight game would be bigger
and better-ii'<e baseball, for instance.
Men like Mike Gibbons and Willie
Richie are all right as fighters, but
they need a little tanning when they
make such outrageous demands

G
Mike Gibbons and his manager are
not the only fellows who do such
hold-up acts. The same feeling pre-
walls throughout the sporting game.
When the crowd is tremendous the
actors curse the management, and
when the crowd is small they sym
pathize with him. If the affair draws
well the actors take all the credit.
Ii it draws poorly they blame it ON
to the management. If only a few
of the faithful are out to see the
show, the actors will play their
heads OFT. whether it is on the ball
field, the bike track or in Tie prize
ring, and they will make sure to tell
the promoter afterward what hard
luck it was to have such good sport
for such small crowd. When
big crowd is out the actors are in an
entirely different frame of mind.
Every time they look up in the grand
stand or out over the bleachers they
curse their own luck and they curse
tho promoters luck. Chances are
they will show at their poorest, al
though personal pride on some occa-
sions behooyes them to do their best. |
The Gibbons hold-up has brought !
about this discussion, and Gibbons |
should not be allowed to get away |
with his demands, even though he !
was forced to i've up to his contract.
If Manager Weismantel was as easy
as some of the fighters seem to think !
he is, he would have acceded TO |
Mikes demands and nothing, per-
haps, would ever have come to light /
on the matter. If the house was about
half-filled and Gibbons was certain |
that he had most of the money he |
would probably have done his level |
best and have defeated Howard de-
cisively. The fact that the club was
to make a few dollars so nettled
"sure-thing Mike" that he did lot
of stalling and put up not very
satisfactory battle.

Frank L. Kramer, actor. 1t doesn't
sound just right, does it? But it is
so, nevertheless. Few of the old

he would do it, but since his tours

the announcement of one of those
/ life contracts that are so easy TO make
but are so hard TO break. When we
heard that Kramer was to become an

couldn't doubt it any longer Now
that Kramer has made his debut we
must admit that he really surprised
