PALM BEACH. fla, Feb. 4.-NO com.
ment regarding the recent declaration
Of Charles G. Dawes thar he is not IN
politics and is not going in, was forth
coming today from the houseboat Vic
toria, with President-elect Warren G.
Harding aboard. Men in close touch
with the President-eIect, however de-
clared the Chicago banker seemingly has
been eliminated as a Cabinet possibility.
Many, however were insistent that this
fact did not necessarily mean the race
for Secretary OF the Treasury had been
won by Andrew w Mellon of Pittsburgh,
one of the most prominent oontenders
1t is well known that former Senator
Weeks Of Massachusetts, would prefer the
treasury post to any other Cabinet posi-
tion and he may yet be the man selected.

ing portions of that band but has not
established contact. Another bandit in
Durango is Lucio Blanco, who has avoid

Blanco has no following outside of Du-

TOLEDO, June 2s.-Jack Hendricks

games postponed on the HOLSTERS pre-

PAGES they have been setting there Is not
much to choose between the teams.
The Hens were Jumped of by the
Colonies in the series closing here yes

well at Columbus, both clubs were rarin'
to do something today In the hopes Of
starting a winning streak. Jack Hen

EVERYBODY TO
GET COIN BUT
POOR OLD TEX
If Receipts Are Not More
Than S1,OOO,OOO Promoter
Richard Will Be Loser.
TAXES TAKE 20 FER CENT

NEW YORK, June 2S.-One of the
New York papers yesterday printed a
table showing some figures on the big
Jersey City battle. 1t spoke Of the
probable receipts as being $1,000, GOO, ami
on this basis that Tex Richards profit
would be 100000.
From the looks of things now the
receipts will not run up to that figure,
and perhaps not over S1C00,000. and 1t
the house is only a bare million the
promoter will find himself or his back
ers out a considerable sum- astonishing
as that statement may Seem
HALF MILLION
FOR FIGHTERS.
To begin with, the fighters are to gee
the flat sum of 100000. That cuts the
million exactly in two. Then out OF the
million comes a Federal. tax OF 10 per
cent and a State tax as well under the
boxing law of a like amount that Will
be 100000 more right "off the top, and
if the promoter gets away with bill
of not more than $4,000 for the con-
struction of the new arena he Will be
extremely lucky.
Thus out of a possible million there
remains but 100000 or so for real pro-
molten and such hundred and one in
cidentals that are the bugbear of pro-
moters life, to say nothing OF the un-
named sums that it naturally takes for
a strange promoter to go into another
man stare anu pan Oh soAHSlAlAS us.
EXPENSE GROWS
WITH RECEIPTS.
The strange part of it is that the
higher the receipts the more the expense.
One odd thing comes up at this time IN
connection with the purse for fear there
might be public sentiment and huge
cry against giving two fighters such
vast sum as $500 900.
The statement was sent out some time
ago that the conditions had bsen
changed, and that instead of fat sum
of $500, 600. Dempsey was to receive mere
" SO per cent of the gross and that Car
pentier instead of a fat sum of 100000
was to be given "a per cent on the same
basis.
That seemed to quiet public sentiment
if there was such a thing, but the change
In the articles never was definitely made,
and the men viii be paid on the hat
basis. And if it is a punch fight,
as many predict, the dear public which
pays the freight no doubt will sit back
and have a good laugh on itself.
