right Of management Of Dempsey
which might upset things bit OF
course. the two manage rs-Heisler
and Jack Kearns-may get together
and affect a compromise in the mean
time and stop all court proceedings
which have been keeping both men
very busy Of late What the fans
would ike TO see is the men in ac-
tion and forget the managerial
troubles.
In the midst Of all these doings the
Cream City A. c. of Milwaukee has
made a real offer 10 the boxers and
their managers II is this The
Cream city club will give the entire
receipts less 10 per cent TO the clue
and the state tax. after deducting the
actual expenses, which would amount
TO about 5000. leaving s. per cent
Of the gross for the two boxers and
Red Cross, say % per cent TO each
Cross II IS estimated that the re-

WHY SUsPICIOUSs
The attendance at a boxing match
should not suffer on account of a
certain percentage Of the receipts be-
is what happened in the match be-
tween Richie Mitchell and Joe Well
ing at the Milwaukee auditorium last
week The Cream City Athletic club
had arranged 10 give the show and
turn One-half Of the profits over 10
Mitchell shaved their percentages a
bit in order 10 help the good move
along and everything seemed lovely
Tor a big house. On the posters 10
was stated that the show had the
backing CT rather endorsement Of
the defense council of Milwaukee,
and many Of the fans took it for
granted that IL was TO be an eXhi-
bition contest Of ten rounds and not
the real goods. The papers also an
nOunced that IL would be a big bene-
fit for the soldiers and sailors and
that added 10 the belief OF many that
IL would only be an exhibition. Well
ing and Mitchell had put up a Won
derful fight over year previous and
ordinarily the return bout would have
drawn over $4,000 without q doubt
probably nearer $4,000, but when the
returns came in for the benefit 10
was found that the receipts tOtaled
just about $500. It added some coin
to the fund all right. but not a third
Of what had been expected 1t was
the same old cry after the fight
missed g.. but I thought il was only
an exhibition 1t may be a good
tip for some OF the promoters who
are staging benefits for war and Red
Cross funds to announce on their
posters whether IL is an exhibition
or real fight. There are few fans
who care much about going TO see an
exhibition. unless il should happen to
be with some champion whom they
had never seen before. and for that
scrapping will seldom prove sue

MRS. LESLIE HABLES. Of King City,

the United States, and who recently
broke the endurance record for con-
tinuous bowling at san Francisco, has
written an article in which she ad-
vises all women who can TO take up
bowling for exercise. This is what
Mrs. HabIes says Of the sport;
A woman o. only a woman
but thea there is nothing TO pre-
vent her from becoming a really
efficient bowler II she devotes a
little time 20 the sport.
The male Of the species has always
cOutended that women were not nat
