Racing to Have a BannerYear
by DOPEY DAN.

You see, lad, with all O. these wars
and dread rumors o wars, the big guns
In our army have been wise to the fact
that re-mounts are as important as
men in a scrap, which makes a army
without re-mounts a huge joke in itself
But they also allowed that its impossf-

cause it's To- and 2 that at the first
sight o fire the ''nightliner' get twisted,
mistake the display for the bright light

So, all hands got together and decided
this way, that no matter what happened
the thoroughbred must remain. but you

basis than this should be found for bring

which all Detroit and all baseball hopes
to see him. We have It. Crawford never
had a better winter. Outdoor life and
careful exercise have kept him down to
within two or three pounds of the weight
at which he would like to play. He
started active training two weeks before
anybody else last season. The final
month of play. when he went a bit stale
last season and fell off in his hitting,
was to blame for the .299 batting average.
This season Sam will report at camp Just
one month later than a year ago. That

nearly top speed. and that should mean

Yankees Train at Macon Again

Of the money was 10 per cent. or 81 70S.
the rent OF the building was the same
amount: and the expenses in connection
with the show was 81. 800. which Included
the preliminary bouts. advertising rai'-
road transportation, training expenses
etc. These items made total OF s. 80
Add to this the - per cent share Of Git
bons. and the total is SIS. BOO On the
face OF these figures the club lost ap-
proximstely $50 as Gibbons still has
5000 coming from the club
II was pointed out at the time that
the contract was made between the club
and Gibbons. that the promoters stood
practically no chance OF breaking oven
on the venture. and this assertion now
is more strongly supported as a result
of the failure Of the first show. There
are not enough really high class matches
among the middle-weights 20 draw out
big money from boxing patrons and for
that reason II is beyond the chance Of
possibility that the club will make money
on the contract.
Les Darcy. OF Australia is the only
man who would draw money with Glib
bons-by that is meant a $4,000 or $50 an
house-and there is little likelihood CC
Darcy coming 10 this country this yea.
However, il the SANITY city promoters
get bad humping they will receive Iittls
sympathy from either the fans or pro
motors elsewhere. II is foolhsrdy bust
ness methods like this that have givel
the fighters the exaggerated opinion OF
their worth and which has made the
promotion OF boxing such an extremely
speculative proposition. II the promot-
crs of the country would use ordinary
business sense I'm their dealings with
fighters and would hand toQefbev 10 rtrrt,
the eXorbitant demands now encountered
on every hand It would be possible TO
promote the sport on a REASONABLE charge
basis. and the general public would be
more inclined to encourage and support
it.
