brought about his ethroning-Freddis got only few thousand for guaran- tee, even though he knew that for that sum he was risking losing his title.
 Johnny Kilbane ranks as one of the best business men the game has uncov- cred. But Johnny in the widest flights of imagination concerning his worth as a drawing card, never asked a promoter for any figure within thousands of that demanded by Moore. And Johnny, like Leonard, Welsh and other champions, has fought many battles where the rewarc was only little beyond $500.
 Johnny Coulon was bangup bantam in his day-and he was champion-some thing Moore never has been and perhaps never will be. But Coulon was glad t1 get 5000 or so for many of his contests while he considered himself mighty for tunate if his share went beyond s25e0 And so it was with Pete Herman and other men in the bantam class whose ranking is somewhat beyond the young
 ster who figures he is worth s15.00o as
 box office attraction.
 Going back into the none too distant
 days of pugilism, as well as those of a
 bygone era, one can find thousands or instances where champions-or near
 champions-gladly fought for guarantees that were only fractions of that which was demanded by the Memphis bantam.
 Bob Fitzsimmons mingled in many af- fairs and got only few hundred do.- lars for his services Kid Mccoy was
 great financier but there were fre- ouent occasions when the Kids share was only around s1000. Frequently he received less although he was one of the greatest ring attractions of all time "Phidadelphia" Jack O'Brien. another star, never in the heydey of his career received a guarantee within Ss0oo of Moore's demand.
 While Battling Levinsky was light heavyweight champion he fought for an $500 guarantee. Ted Kid Lewis, king Of the welters, another fine drawing card, feels very happy when he gets S2Oo0 or
 s95O0 Oftentimes he has battled for much less Jack Dillon took $1O0 or so for sev-
 erals of his fights. Jim Savage knocked out two men in one night, allowing each man less than one round each and Jim got $25. John l.. Sullivan, the
 most spectacular figure in pugilism
 never felt that he was worth sl5,V'
 guarantee Joe Walcott and Joe Cans ranking among the greatest fighters of all time, were more than delighted
 with $500 purses.
 Yet Pal Moore figures that it would be
 lowering his dignity to mingle in contest with Jimmy Wilde flor anything
 less than $15,000 Pal Moore, who never
 has been an outstanding star of pug ilism and who, at his best, never Will rank among the truly great of his class
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-15

It is rather odd how little success sometimes gives persons peculiar idea concerning their prowess.
 Pal Moore, the Memphis batamweight, is an example.
 Moore, never ranked as more than fair hamtam in this country, went to England sometime ago and was matched with Jimmy Wilde, the great English flyweight. Moore had 1t on Wilde in height, weight and reach. The men trav- eled four rounds to a decision-and Moor1 got it. But many unbiased persons al the ringside insisted that the worse Wilde should have gotten was a draw, Many others declare that the ruling was most unjust-that Wilde was actually the vic- tor
 At any rate, not much real glory was attached to Moore's disputed victory over man smaller and lighter than him. self
 But what happened?
 Moore came back to the United States and much ado was made about his win over Wilde. Meanwhile, Londoners, con- siderably riled because Moore was given the decision, clamored for another clash between the rair They wanted Wilde to get just one more crack at Mooro, feeling confident that not only would Wilde win but the triumph probably would be via the knockout route.
 So English promoters cabled asking Moore for his terms for another meet ing with Wilde. And then Pal Moore, to the gmazement of the sporting world
 calmly answered:
 "A s15,000 guarantee Is my price" The European promoters are reported to have staggered a little when the mes- sage was handed to them. And its no wonder sl500o guarantee for man who never has been a champion-never more than a fair bantam at best-is sumner! Benny Leonard sizes up as one of the greatest drawing cards which the light CT division of pugilism has ever known And Benny always has received topnotch guarantees for his services. But never for any of his fights has Benny re- ceived-or even demanded-a sum remote- ly approaching the demand of Pal Moore. Freddie Welsh was "get-'em' boy but Freddie never got any Sl5,oOo purses And Freddie fought dozen fights for a. total of s150o Even during his cham pionship days Freddie willingly Fought 10 rounds for 5000 or so. When he toos on Leonard in 1s17-the match tna'
