FINANCIAL RECORDS BROKEN BY MONEY
 SPENT FOR BIG GO

New York. March 14-with two weeks intervening before the princi- pals enter the ring the Willard Moran bout has already broken all financial records for pugiIistic battles held in New York state. The actual receipts for tickets sold and paid for to date is in round figures $75,OO0. In addi- tion to this sum tickets valued at $2O,000 are being held for persons | who have not as yet taken up their reservations. Of the $125,OOO worth of tickets originally printed but ESQ., 900 remain unsoId and the majority of these are the $3 and $5 seats which will not be put on sale until a day or two before the bout.
 The heaviest sale has been made in the $25 reserved and box seats aI- though there is a big demand for the $10 and $15 coupons. Nothwithstand- ing the care exercised by the promot- CTS considerable nu1nber of tickets are finding their way into the hands of spectators and the indications point to these gentry reapings a royal harvest since one box has already been sold for $500, which is several times the face value of the paste boards.
 The demand for seats from out-of- town points is the most surprising feature of the advance sale. Fully 40 per cent. of the tickets disposed of to date have been taken by mail and telegraph applications from the large cities of the Middle West, South and New England, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Boston, Cleveland and Detroit put in large applications with scattering re- quests as far west as Kansas City.
 This advance sale clearly indicates that the receipts for the 10 round mo- decision bout scheduled for March 25 will surpass by more than $50,0OO the largest gate ever collected for such a contest in New York state and with the exception of the Johnson-Jeffries battle at Reno, New, July 4, 1910, the largest in the history of the prize ring. The gross receipts of this bout were $27O,755. Jeffries and Sharkey drew $66. 300, when they fought at Coney Island in 1899; Gibbons and Mcfarland boxed before a $5s,069 gate when they met at Brighton Beach last September, and the Cor bett-McCoy contest in New York city on Aug. 30. 1900, drew $56,350. The Gans-Nelson, Johnson-BUrns and Johnson-Wi1lard bouts held respect lively at Goldf1e1d, Sydney and Havana brought out gates that ranged be- tween $66, 900 and $69,00.

ERTLE BARELY GAINS
 DRAW WITH ZULU KID

New York, March 14-Kewpie Ertle, the St. Paul bantam, who has been outpointing @ number of East ern bantans, got the surprise of his young life at the Clermont A. c. last night when Joe Dimelfi, under the ring name of Young Zulu Kid, a con- tender for the flyweight honors, bat tied the Western boy ten rounds to practically a drawn contest.

the movies.

It is reported that Chairman Fred Wenck of the New York State boxing commission has been asked to resign. He may have got into trouble because of his action in ordering Jess Willard to stop charging 25 cents admission to his training quarters. Still Wenck de- serves praise for protecting the fans in this matter. It had been adver- tfsed that Willard would box Al Reich and after 2,000 had crowded into the hall the champion refused to tackle Reich. Thereupon Wenck declared Willard must stop the petty graft. It was about time somebody went to the front for the fans who pay the bills.
 Bill Piercy, the young California pitcher with the Yankees, displayed O knuck1e ball in practice at Macon, Ga., yesterday which caused the coaches to cheer 1ustily. Although only 19 years old Piercy looks like a star already and the Yankees will surely keep a string on him.
