Big Purses at
an End in the
Fighting Game
PROMOTERS TO OFFER NOTHING
But 'PERCENTAGE" TERMS
IN FUTURE.
BY RARRY FARIs.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, July Fighter
may just as wen say goodbye to the
fat guarantees they have received IL
the past. The day of big purses is al
an end. Stung often and deep by
guaranteeing fighters huge sums only
10 see the box office receipts totalling
but half the amounts boxing promot-
ers have determined to offer nothing
but percentage" terms in the fu-
ture.
/ Boxers will be given a certain per
centage of the gross receipts. No
guarantee that the percentage will
amount to any set sum will be offer
ed. The promoters believe that the
boxer is worth a percentage Of what
he draws at the box office and no
more.
In order to make the percentage
thing stick the promoters in the prin-
cipal boxing centers of the country
have decided to form an association.
This move was first fostered by Tom
Andrews, boxing promoter of Milwau-
kee, Wis, and it is bearing fruit.
Andrews recently made a flying
trip to New York and lined up most
of the big promoters here. 1t is now
planned to hold the initial meeting of
the promoters in Cleveland sometime
in September. The Ohio city is cho-
sen because of its central location.
Promoters from New Orleans, st.
Louis, Buffalo, Boston, Milwaukee.
Denver and New York have signified
their intentions of attending the meet
ing.
After organizing the promoters are
first expected to adopt rules prohib-
iting the guaranteeing of any sum to
fighters. hard and fast rule that
only a certain percentage of the re-
ceipts will be given to the fighters is
planned. After that is disposed Of
the promoters plant to tackle the
question of a universal scale of
weights.
At present the weight standard is
decidedly faulty. Fighters posing as
lightweights often enter the ring
around the 14O mark. This the pro-
mOters plan to do away with by ad
opting a uniform scale which the box
ers will have to abide by.
Rules by which champion must
defend his title within a certain pc
riod are also to be taken under con-
sideration but they may not be acted
upon until a later session.

ters, properly arranged, tell the chiel
reason why a man who led bush
team last year is plotting an Ameri-
can league team on or in the constant
vicinity of the top of the column this
year, The four letters are TACT
The mans name is Clarence Rowland

1t would have been short of hu-

systems. feeling that was antagon-
istic when they realized they would
have to take orders from "the bush.
err 1t is the same in any other line
of business. Rowland as deeply
realized this. And being not only a
student of the game, but a student of
human nature and especially base
ball human nature as well, he set out
to batter down this feeling.
Ask any man on the Chicago Am
erican team today and he'll tell you
that Rowland is the goods They're
for him. tooth. nail, and batting eye.
They'll also tell You the reason. It's
to bawl out; he knew which man to
slap on the back when he pulled a
grand play-and which not to. He
studied his men and soon knew which
one needed a strong verbal poke in a
soft spot to get his fighting dander
up. Where he applied walloping sar-
casm to this one, he plastered on a
bit of appeal to another's pride or
smeared on coating of diplomatic
stuff that aroused a sense of rivalry
in another.
To some of the older and more ex-
perienced players who were his he-i-
tage as Succession of the beloved Jim
my Callahan, Rowland frankly went
for advice. 1t made a hit. Everyone
was tickled in the place he liked to
be tickled.
But, an unbeliever might argue, how
about George Stallings and his bust
ling. busy batting Braves? That's
easy. Stallings, the grinder and driv-
er, happened to have that kind of men
on his team. That's the reason the
Braves copped the big Flag last year

kind that needed that kind of leading.

Here is the baseball players prayer
as conceived by some fan:
Lord. help me to play the game. 1t
matters not to you whether l am
talented. or poor in natural gifts;
wealthy or starving; a leader among
men or a simple follower, so that
play the game as you would have it
played. Help me to keep my eye on
the ball. that the curves of tempta-
tion do not deceive me. Keep my
feet in the path of righteousness, that
l may touch second and third on my
way round the bases Help me to
beat out my bunts, and hold me that
| stray not too far from base when
the catcher is ready to peg me. Count
not my foul balls against me, o Lord.
for the batting eye sometimes goes
wrong, though the intention Is right.
Help me in the pinches, Lord, be-
cause a good bingle might bring my
brother home. Let not the music Of
the fans keep my eye from the ball,
nor the enticements of the slabmen
draw me away from the need Of a
clean single with a man on second.
Help me, O Lord to bat over 300.
because my eyes are on the big league
for eternity even while 1 sojourn here
among the bush-leaguers.
