FORTUNATE DAYS
FOR THE PUCILISTS
Have Chance TO Make Some
Easy Money Down in
Argentine
WRESTLERS ALSO
ARE IN DEMAND

American pugilists are in demand
both at home and abroad these days,
and he is a poor boxer who cannot find
opportunity to enter the ring for
purse or gate percentage far in ex-
cess OF the amounts offered to the
fighters of a generation ago.
Both South America and Australia
are bidding for the best OF the AmerS
can ringmen at present and in view
Of the sums that are being held out
as inducements. It is likely that there
will be quite an exodus Of boxers dur
ing the next few months.
Official representatives OF Argentina
arc at present in New York City try
ing to sign for at least four bouts, in
cluding feather weights, lightweights,
middleweights and heavywelghts.
with the aid Of the promoters It ap-
pears likely that they will be able to
secure several high-class bouts,
especially since they are will
ing to pay both expenses for travel
ing and training. In addition to the
boxers. who will be signed for the
trip. several wrestlers will be offered
an opportunity to show their skill in
Argentina.
The representatives OF the South
American Republic reported that the
natives Of Argentina are greatly in
terested in all forms OF sport both
from the standpoint of spectators and
participants. Soccer football, tennis
polo and baseball all have their fol-
lowers. and these games are rapidly
growing in popularity Boxing and
wrestling is as yet rather a novelty
but large gatherings Of spectators
have appeared at the few bouts held
and there is a growing demand for
more contests Of this type.
Australian promoters, through their
American agents. are also Offering ex-
cellent inducements for pugilists, who
will make the trip to the Island Con-
tinent. but 10 date the stars Of fistiana
have shown little disposition to en-
bark upon the long voyage to THE
Down Under" Various reasons are
advanced for this disinclination to "a

due to the war. Is one. and the pecul-
lar effect Of the climate on American
pugilists Is another. Outside Of Les
Darcy. the average Australian boxer
is not particularly feared by American
glovemen and purses arc inviting
Nevertheless. promoters are finding II
more difficult to sign boxers for Aus

All baseball fans know that i'm the
"good old days" OF baseball the scores
averaged much larger than now. but
few realize how tremendously lOpsided
the scores really were One OF the
most remarkable examples OF this
kind was the game played 46 years
ago on May 13. 1870. between the Chi
cago Club and the Bluf City team OF
Memphis, Tenn. The Southern aggre-
CATION had the reputation Of being a
fast and classy club. but when they
crossed bats" with the Windy City
outfit the result was a defeat by the
humiliating score OF 157 to 1. Hap
PLY the score by innings has been pre-
served. and II is an interesting
souvenir OF the days when baseball
was in the making. Here is is;
Chicago q 40 / 35 "a IS 23-157
Memphis o 900 0 0 0 o. 1
Baseball players on winning clubs
got lots OF exercise in those days.
Just four days after the Chicago
Memphis contest another remarkable
game was played in the Atlantics
Only FIVE innings we're played. yet the
Forest Citys got 1872 runs. while the
Atlantics got only one man over the
plate. The victors started the obse-
quies by making 50 runs in the first
inning. They got 16 in the second, SO
in the third. only one in the fourth,
and 10 in the fifth. The Atlantics got
their only run in the second inning.
because Of errors. One can readily
understand why the contest was stop
ped because OF darkness at the end OF
the fifth.
