TITLE MILLION
DOLLAR ASSET
It's Worth That To Benny
Leonard, Based On His
Earnings To Date
The Millinn nn1Iar -

The Million Dollar Kid"
That's what Benny Leonard is. This
2l-year-old worlds lightweight cham
pfon's value as an asset can be ap-
praised at that amount at the very
least, figuring IL upon his earnings
during the short time that he has oc-
cupted the titular throne.
To be specific:
Leonard wrested the championship
from the clutch of Freddie Welsh on
May 2s last. He received $4,000 for
that feat, but we won't consider that
In our computations. Since the Welsh
match Leonard has fought nine fights.
Seven of these were dividend payers.
That is. he did not profit by the other
two. He received only actual expens-
es for them. approximately he has
averaged $4,000 for the six real fights
that he has had since he dethroned
Welsh. Since that event his earnings
may be itemiZed as follows:
Date opponent Receipts.
June 1s-Johnny Nelson ..... 1900
July 25-Johnny Kilbane ..... 10000
sept. 14-Phn Bloom ......... 1000
Sept. 21-Leo Johnson ...... 400
Sept. 2T-Eddie Dorsey ....... 2,500
Oct. 5-Vic Moran -. ....... 5000
Total .....................s s28.O5O
Benny's other two matches were
with Young Rector and Jimmy Paul
He fought Rector in Canada for the
ties, incidentally knocking him out in
few rounds. He boxed Paul for the
beneft of the army athletic fund at
the Fairmont Athletic club in the
Bronx. For the former match he re-
ceived transportation expenses. for
the latter not a ''jit".
Earns Small Fortune.
During the four months following
his overthrow of Welsh, Leonard has
earned in round numbers $2s, 900. That
mrrFIFaG a a
does not meet with some unforeseen
and unlikely impairment in the next
eight months. At per cent Leonsrd's
income represents principal of $75e.-
600. That's what the worlds light
weight championship is worth.
Leonard's earnings during the last
four months, however, are not indica-
tive Of what he probably will. earn
henceforth. The matches he has had,
outside OF the Kilbane AFFAIR. have
been merely second rate ones. COM
pared with those that are in the max
ing for him and in which he should
profit far more richly. Ere this year
has run its course, Leonard promises
to earn more than $780, 900.
Has Bic Matches Ahead.
Leonard has his most important and
valuable matches to come. There are
possibly half a dozen boys that he
and receive far more for boxing eth
er one of them than he has thus far
received in any one of his bouts to
date. <t
His services are in immediate de-
mand all over the country wherever
boxing obtains. Seattle, New Orleans,
California and Tia Juana are trying
to sign for matches to Official dect-
sions. All these are steaming up, and
within a few months will probably
come to pass. Meanwhile Leonard can
go along and grab of from $4,000 to
5000 every week or so boxing less
formidable contenders.

Prominent Breeders of ShOrthOrns in
This Section to Hold Large
Sale in This City

Several prominent breeders Of Short

and perfected their plans for a big
dispersion sale of Shorthorns to be
held in Minot during the early part of
May. These breeders are really the
pioneers in the raising Of Shorthorns
in this section of North Dakota, and
have some exceptionally splendid in
dividuals in their herds that they will
put up at auction at this sale.
Altogether. there will be in the
neighborhood Of fifty thoroughbred
Shorthorn cattle offered at this sale,
and the farmers that wish to improve
their herds will have an excellent OPP
portunity to get a start if they attend
this sale.
It is expected that farmers pic

Of sale in one of our city parks, and

who come in to attend the sale. \.

from his department.
The vulcanizing and upholstering de-
partments are likewise in good hands
and turn out exceptionally good work.
The latest addition to the concern
is Mr.. G. R. Van Sickle, who takes
charge of the retail car sales. Mr..
Van Sickle is progressive, live-wire
business man. He was at one time a
banker at Ryder, is a rather extensive
property owner in the county, and for
the past five years has been connected
with the Minot branch Of the Inter-
national Harvester Co.'S credit de-
partment. Mr.. Van Sickle has several
live statesmen under him and when he
gets his department thoroughly. sys-
tematized will undoubtedly show
great increase in city sales. Mr.. Van
Sickle says he first convinced himself
of the quality of the line, and he sees
no reason why man cannot sell to
others an article he thoroughly be-
lieves in himself.
The finest thing about the institu-
ton is the splendid cooperative spirit
between the several departments.
Every man is booster for every 9TH
err man, for the Minot Auto Co., and
for the Willys-Knight and Overland
cars.
