His o'erheard his words.
and ran in all excited. and on a
charge of boobery had him indicted.
Pity poor Benny Leonard. He Lam
guishes alone and spends most of his
days in idleness.
There is no work for the eager
champion to perform-work. that is.
which is fitting for a pugilistic lau-
rel-crowned hero to perform.
Out in San Francisco, since the
wave of crime that conferred around
n group of box fighters. there IS talk
of forcing all the boxing gentry to go
20 work; to have some visible means
OF support above and beyond their
income for taking part in the four
FOUNDERS out in that neck OF the
woods.
That notion has not gone east of
the Rockies. so in most spots. and
especially in New York. 1t is still not
considered chubby for professional
boxers-and, above all, champions
to work.
Leonard wants to work-in the
ring-and can't. In the olden days
boxers used to fight for the fun OF
IL. No moreno less.
Billy Gibson, Leonard's manager,
Is so distressed at the state of az
fairs that he has sent broadcast a
singing indictment of the light
weight cohort.
He says Lew Tender demanded
$50, 900 to box Leonard. Willie Jack
son wouldn't take $4,000 for the
same job Johnny Dundee also asked
10000, and Richie Mitchell refused
$4,000 and held out for $4,000.
Perhaps the boys figure it is worth
a bonus to meet Leonard.
Mitchell finds it pays to be a hold
out, though. He has Just been
matched with Leonard for a Janu-
airy fight, for which he'll collect $50
900. while Bennah calmly takes
$4,000.
The time may come when boxer
will be willing to display their wares
at a reasonable price. Maybe thsn 4
fan will be able to see a good card
OF bouts for so cents or a dollar.
A boxing bout is good entertain
ment, but the prices are all out OF
