Welsh showed several humping good

Benny Leonard at Washington Park,

There wasn't a sign Of tango

1t was stand up and drag out from
the start. Excepting one round, the
third, Welsh won all the way. But
he showed a little of Abe Attell,

doesn't spoil it all by thinking he's
good enough now to quit learning.
For the first time in a decade Of
moons, New York's fight experts
agreed on the result, the quality Of
fight put up by both men, the title
holders championship ability and the
chal1enger's championship possible

Both men were primed. Their con-
dition at the end showed that. Welsh
throughout showed every evidence Of
his realization that he had lot to

wholly realized his opportunity and
remembered he was fighting cham

Leonard had been using whale of
a slam to Welsh's left kidney. He
placed it beautifully six or eight
times in the first three rounds. Every
time it brought the champion UP with
a Jolt. Then Welsh used several of
his ubiquitous arms and fists to cover
his kidneys as well as his face. He
was foiling off blows like fencer.
But he showed at least double track

represents simply the cost OF COM

1t is impossible to more than ap-
proximate the number of students on

But at the four institutions men

students in each of the teams main

Citations. This means that for every

form of coaching, uniforms, training
tables, railroad fare, etc.
To the outsider this sounds like a
pretty big sum, but it is nothing
compared to what it costs to develop
the few star athletes who represent
their universities in championship
contests. There Is no way to deter
mine this cost, but when it Is re-
membered that every athletic squad

that 800 per man doesn't begin TO

During the year here considered Har-

the four institutions the receipts ex-
ceeded the expenditures by about

AS matter of fact, the percentage
of profit was greater than this, be-
cause the items of expenses In some

moneymaker. In fact, this Is the
sport which has maintained all the

Haryard's superiority over Yale m
the matter of football receipts was
due to the Crimso possession OF a
! wonderful team, and the further fact
that Boston is typical football city.
| It has a tremendous advantage over
New Haven. Princeton suffers most
from location in small town. but
the games with Harvard and Yale
filled the Tigers treasury. The small
size Of Pennsylvania receipts may
be attributed to poor teams and the
fact that neither Michigan nor Dart
mouth draw as well as Harvard and
the Indians, whose places they nave
taken. A good team at Pennsylvania
would probably add third to tho
Quakers' gridiron receipts.
For years baseball has been pay
ing sport at Harvard. Yale and
Princeton. Pennsylvania has always
been on the ragged edge. Although
for the fiscal year here considered
the Quakers lost money, 1t is learned
that heir next report will show q
slight profit. The national game has
always been a money maker at Yale.
In fact, in this sport, Yale leads Har-
ward. The Ellis cleared $20.607.45 on
baseball, while Harvard earned only
So, 1854. The Tigers did pretty well,
making $8,696.44 in year.
An additional reason for the sue
cess OF the Yale team financially may
be found in the fact that New Haven
had no big league team. and about
the nearest approach to this class OF
baseball was that played by the Yale
team. Both Harvard and Pennsyl-
vania are always obliged to compete
locally against two big league teams,

Penn Track.
On account Of the success Of its
great relay carnival, Pennsylvania
does far better than her rivals In
track athletics. But even the Quak-
ers have never been able to make
track sports earn dividend This
sport brought in receipts amounting
to s10,725.27, costing SIG. 1887.
Harvard is second to Pennsylvania,
but the Crimson's receipts for the
year were only $3,435.81.
It is impossible, OF course, for row

the shape of gate receipts. Those

Harvard and Yale find rowing tre-
mendously expensive. 1t cost the
Crimson total of $2s, 156,8S to sup
port its crews, while Yale paid out
s24,627.92. The expensiveness OF the
Harvard and Yale rowing systems is
emphasized when comparison is made
with the cost of this great sport at
Pennsylvania and Princeton. The
Quakers paid out only $s794.19 and
Princeton, but $4,229.SS. Thus Har-
ward and Yale pay virtually three
times as much for rowing as Prince
ton. The low cost of rowing at Prince
ton is largely accounted for by the
fact that Princeton does not compete
at either Poughkeepsie or New Lon
don, and 80 does not have to bear
the heavy training expenses OF the
other universities.
