N 1FFERING from the days of old,
when the champions were the
real money getters of the ring,
the common ordinary scrappers of to-
day who meet all Corners, sidestepping
nobody and thereby keeping them
selves in sufficiently good condition to
fight at months notice, are hailed
as popular idols and prove to be the
real 'greenback collectors" of the fis-
tic world.
Champions like johnson. Richie,
Kilbane and COulOn, who resort to the
most TECHNICAL grounds in order to
avoid dangerous opponents, are prov
ing the most unprOductiYe, as well as
the most unsatisfactory, title holders
that the ring has ever known.
The continued Wrangling and dick
ering over the question of weight and
guarantee and the final canceling of
the matches because of the failure of
terms that to the sporting world, ap-
pear eminently fair and Just, has
caused not only the loss of thousands
of dollars III gate receipts to these
men, but IN addition, has made the
fighters suffer the loss Of prestige,
without which their titles are to them
what a Cancelled check is to q banker,
something that was Of value once but
worthless at the present time.
Second Raters Are Busy.
While these champs are touring the
country in handsomely equipped autos
and participating in the night life Of
the great cities, for where is the
fighter who does not care for the hand
shake Of the rounder? These ordinary
fighters are steadily and consistently
plying their professional ability in al
most nightly battles, enhancing their
popularity as scrappers and, at the
same time, increasing their already
IaL Dank accounts.
A glance over the narfOrnoapc
sheets of the past few months will dis
close the fact that Ad Woigast is
amaSsing considerably more wealth
than champion Willie Richie, Freddie
Welsh is following the same path and
engaging in almost weekly encounters.
Mexican" Joe Rivers is meeting as
many Corners as possible in a months
time. Charlie White is entertaining
the patrons Of the game in various sec
tons or the country in ten round
bouts. Johnny Dundee has not only
cleaned up a substantial sum in his
class but has decided that perhaps it
would be profitable to try some of the
heavier fellows, while business like
Leach Cross has yet to pass up an
opportunity to increase his family
bank account.
The same may be said of a number
OF other ambitious lads, who are fast
forging to the front rank in this class
by their frequent appearances in the
ten round exhibitions that are proving
so popular throughout the country.
TitlehOlders VIII Feel Loss.
Not only will this loss of money and
prestige be felt by these side step
ping title holders, but the siege of Il
hard and unaccustOmed course of
training, that will be found necessary
to fit them for q gruelling battle, will
tax their strength and pocket books
to such an extent that if they should
prove so unfortunate as to receive the
short end OF the decision, they will
find themselves so broken physically
and financially, that it would be al
most hopeless to cndeavOr to regain
any of the lost possibilities that they
are today SO fOOlishly casting aside.
