Prize Fighters Received Very
Slim Purses in Good Old Days
Secured but 500 Per Match When He Was Winning Fame
Original Jack Dempsey Fought $5OOO Winner Take ALL

! weight, Sayers himself never tipped
the scales at more than lao pounds.
In a list of "undisputed" heavy
weight champions compiled by O'Hara
one finds that there have been fifty
one men who have established a
sound claim to the title, and among
these were the better known of the
old school, such as Sayers, John c.
Heenan. Thomas King, Jern Mace,
Tom Allen, Joseph, Goss, Paddy Ryan
and John L. Sullivan.
With Bare KnuekIes.
These men and scores who pre-
coded them fought contests ranging
from seven to one hundred rounds;
fought with bare knuckles, and fol-
lowed the London prize ring rules,
which not only stipulated that no
gloves should be used on the hands,
but also counted the round ended
only when one of the contestants was
either knocked or thrown to the
ground. Wrestling was permitted
and the toughest tactics were COM
mon in all fights, with the spectators
frequently getting into the affair
themselves.
1t was Sullivan who paved the
pugilists' way to the stage, where
fresh fame and greater fortune
awaited them. Prior to this theatrical
innovation, the champion pugilist
usually became the proprietor of a
tavern, where liquor was sold and
stories were told, and the saloon of
the champion pugilist always was
well patronized. One of the last of
these ENTERPRISES was "rhe Cham
pion's Rest" saloon conducted in
st. Louis for many years by the late
Tom Allen, who was accredited
heavyweight champion at one time,
and who maintained to his dying day
that he had never lost the title, al
though others disputed this point
when they were safe distance from
his wet goods establishment.
Most pugilists went BROKE" in the
old days and the benefit" was the
lifesaving enterprise that kept many
of them from the poorhouse. But not
so in this day and age. Since Cor
bett and Sullivan fought for the
purse of $4,000 at New Orleans in
1892, the price for championship
contests has steadily climbed, al
though 1t is believed that Willard
and Dempsey, with the 100000 gate
at Toledo July 4, have set mark
that will hardly be surpassed by any
championship contest of the near OF
distant future.
Half million dollars seems like a
whole lot of money for people to pay
to see nine minutes of rough and
tumble prize fighting, but Mr. Rick
ard the odd genius, has way OF
persuading the good people to do It

CITY SCHOOL CENSUS
SHOWS SMALL DECREASE
FIGURES COMPILED BY
PROF. TAYLOR DAVIS.
Number Of Pupils in Chatta-
nooga 1874 Less Than Total
in Schools Last Season.

According to the report submitted
to Commissioner Fred Frazier. OF the
department OF education, by Prof.
Taylor Davis. the scholastic popu-
lation for the city Of Chattanooga
shows 1874 less than the figures sub
United year ago. The ceusus In
cludes all persons between the ages
of 6 to 21.
There are within the city's limits
24S persons who cannot read or write,
states the report. OF this number
III are white and 1877 colored.
The total census is 1887. The de-
cline is attributed by Prof. Davis TO
the scattering OF industrial workers
and the fact that many colored citi-
zens have left the city within the
last year. The colored population, he
said, Is largely responsible for the
decline, 1873 of the loss being col

IN CHOOSING PORK
~ SELECT WHITE MEA

When choosing pork always look for
white meat with very little muscle and
plenty of fat. There should be blu
ish tinge about the bones
The leg is about the most econonli-
cal Joint for family. Spare rib is the
part recommended for people who don't
care about fat; 1t is the leanest cut
OF the whole animal.
When choosing sausages don't take
those that are very pink. The natural
tint OF sausage is rather paler than
that of plain pork, because sausages
always contain a certain amount OF
bread crumbs, which whiten them. II
they look very pink you may be quite
sure they have been colored, and that
therefore they are more or less OF
