Great Boxing Show at
New York Is a Fizzle

Professional boxers thoroughly in
suited a huge audience last night at
Madison Square Garden where many
thousands paid big prices to see hlgn
class boxing, the receipts of which
were for Uncle Sam. The star bout
which was advertised from Atlantic
to Pacific never matured, although
Billy Miske and Jack Dempsey ap-
peared in the ring. Dempsey was
paraded around to prove his claim
that he had a sprained ankle, and
Miske trifled a few rounds with
George Ash, of Philadelphia.
The other great luminary, Benny
Leonard, was also a disappointment,
tapping some uninteresting volleys
with Willie Jackson, who is a
contender for the title. Leonard
looked to be far the superior in all
features of the game. Another cause
for complaint by the fans was that
Packy Mcfarland did not meet Jack
Britton, as advertised, but spared
little with Danny Fields, of the
Naval Militia. The only stirring
feature of this hugely advertised af-
fair was a bout between Augie Rat
ner claimant of the American Fly
weight championship, who scored a
knockout at the bell in his bout
with Sergeant Rose, the bantam
| champion, of Camp Taylor. louis

Millions of Dollars Go to Uncle Sam
From the 5000 Golf Clubs of America

=, A golf critic and expert points out
that there are just as many persons
playing the game during the war as
before, but that fewer rounds are
played. 1t is estimated that of the
5000 clubs in America there have
Joined the service members to the
number. OF 5000. But it has also been
estabilshed that new players have in
vaued the field and practically made
up Tor the loss of those in service.
Certainly, no one is going to con-
denim this enthusiasm in golf when
they understand what huge sums are
being raised for war purposes. This
comes about, first, through the gov
ernment tax.
Taking the three thousand clubs
that the annual dues will run this
year about seventy dollars on the
average and that the membership is
loo we arrive at the figures s31, $780,
600.
Ten per cent. of this total means
that $S, 10000 is due the Government
from members dues. When we add
to this. the 10 per cent. which is col
lected from each club guest who plays
golf we have another $4,000.
rather fancy that l have placed
this too low, for some clubs in our
own district have one to three thous-
and guests per season, with a greens
fee of 81, which means that from
each of these clubs there will be
handed over four to six hundred dol
lars.
In this connection it might be we'll
to bring 40 the attention of the golf
committees the fact that although tho
club may have voted the freedom of
the links to the player golfers in
the Army or Navy it is required of
the club that it shall collect tax
of 10 per cent of the usual greens
fee each time these men golf. l know
