COLONY HOUSE is PREFERRED

Colony houses on free range give
the pouItryman chance to raise his

taken as with laying houses. The small

Jack Weinstein Keeps Sta

keeping statistics of how much money
he would have had he been Benny

Benny Leonard earned 5000 900 for

hard to conceive of man catching that
many in the course of twelve months,
especially when the man wears boxing
gloves. Yet that is the approximate
amount the lightweight champion raked
in during 1919.

the boxers, large or small, in this fertile
land. He piled his trade with am ,
gence and vigOr never before displayed
by a champion in any class. lie real, ,
lied that the reign of a champion is not
long at most and that a titleholder has

"Lconard engaged in twenty five
bouts during the year. an average OF a
bout almost every two weeks. This Is
exclusive of the several benefit bouts
he boxed. The total gate receipts tor
these bouts amounted to approximately
$500 900. If Leonard drew down 500,
600 as his share then he averaged about
40 per cent of the gate in each bout II
which he took part. To attract tota
of $500 900 the gate receipts TOR eact
bout averaged $50, 900. and Leonard re
ceived an average of $4,000 for every

against the local favorte.

was idle. Then he resumed the whirl

could be made for him he boxed. He
