EAST CHICAGO
MAKES BOXING
LEGAL MATTER
City Council Takes Action To Per-
init 10 Round Bouts With Ger
tain Limitations.

Hammond, Ind, July 9.-Mayor
Leo Mccormack of East Chicago,
went to Toledo and saw Jack
Dempsey put out Jess Willard. He
enjoyed it. Boxing promoters have
been endeavoring for some time to
get a foothold in East Chicago, but
the city officials said no.
The city council of East Chicago
met for the first time since the To-
ledo mill and passed an ordinance
permitting ten round bouts under
army and navy rules in East Chi
cago and Indiana Harbor, with GER
tain limitations.
No betting will be allowed, and
not over two bouts a month can be
held. The city controller is to see
that the city gets per cent of all
receipts. A boxing commission
appointed by the mayor will have
charge of all ring contests and
wrestling matches.
The ordinance says no prize
fights may be held but only tests Of
skill. The lid was put on boxing
in Gary, East Chicago and Ham
mond six years ago.
Ten thousand boys from the Cal
ument region who went to war are
now demanding the sport.

CATE RECEIPTS
FOR FIGHT LESS
THAN S5OO,OOO
Official Check Shows That Attend
ance Was Between 10000
and 21,00O.

Toledo, Ohio, July 9.-Gate re-
ceipts of the heavyweight cham
pionship contest between Jack
Dempsey and Jess Willard July 4
we're unoff1cially announced last
night as approximately $452,OOO.
The attendance, Promoter Tex
Richard said, was between 10000
and q 900.
These approximate figures were
authorized by Rickard because of
the delay in arriving at the official
attendance and receipts. Revenue
agents are checking up the figures
to determine the amount of war
tax due the government. Promo
ter Richard left for New York last
night without knowing exactly
how much money the contest drew.
Announcement that the bout drew
only about twenty thousand persons
was a big surprise. Richard said
that all the $50 seats were sold,
and that virtually all the $50 seats
were disposed of. Disappointment
came in the sale of the cheapest
seats, which sold for SO.
Provision had been made to seat
between $4,000 and 10000 persons
in the $40 seat sections, but only
about five thousand seats were
sold.
The Toledo charity fund will be
enriched about $31,5O0 as a result
of the contest. The city received
7 per cent of the gross receipts
The money will be used in endow-
ing hospital beds for the poor and
taking children of poor families on
summer vacations.
The government will receive
nearly $41, 900 in war tax.
