Boxing Is popular in Toledo today

A year or two g Toledo had FIVE
boxing clubs. There were frequent
clashes between promoters and on
cials. Then came Ad Thatcher to the
rescue. Adi proposed to Mayor Cor
nell Schneider that only one club be
given permits and offered to be match
maker and promoter OF that club turn
ing over all profits to charity and
shouldering the losses himself. 1t
was accepted. Besides the Z per cent
the bi<ing commission collected from
all bouts, and which was turned yer
to charity. there was enough to
amount to $500 In the year that the
plan has been working.
