UNCLE SANS PORTION
OF FIGHT MONEY LARGE
(By United Press)

New York, June 29.---Unole Sam
wasn't mentioned in the agreement.
and he Is not going to put on the
gloves. The closest he will get to the
ring will be the box office.
Uncle Sam, however, Is going TO
get the biggest cut OF the Dempsey
Carpenter money. He will get more
than Tex Richard will make out OF
the show and he Will get more than
Dempsey and Carpenter, without
turning hand.
Revenue officials, basing thdlr fig
ures on receipts OF a million dollars
which seem sure, have 1t In black
and white that Uncle Sam will make
close to 100000 in that one Satur-
day afternoon.
The first cut Is ten per cent OF the
gross receipts. On a million dollar
gate that means 100000.
Jack Dempsey will get $340,Ooo
for his share. His tax will amount
to approximately $165,O00.
Georges Carpenter, having vile
and child, will not have to pay the
government as much income tax as
the champion. For his purse or
$4,000 he will have to subtract,
$4,000.
For Tex Richard, whose net profits
may be around 100000, Uncle Sam
also will get a generous cut.
Altogether, especially If the re-
ceipts go beyond. a million dollars
which is not improbable, the govern
ment will get very close to half
million.
Then also the state Of New Jersey
which levies ten per cent tax on
boxing, will come in for cool little
100000. =
Figure it up and see how much
profit, Richard stands to make.
