Cornishman but he was nearly

Cornishman but he was nearly 20
pounds heavier than Fitzsimmon,
when the latter knocked him out
and won the title at Carson City.
March II, 1897.
Two years later James j. Jeffries
of huge build and outweighing Fitz-
simmons by fully SO pounds, won the
title in IL rounds from Bob at
Cooney Island, and five months later
November, 1899, Jetfries got a
referees decision over Tom Shark
ey, in a 20-round bout in the same
arena. Sharkey was several inches
shorter and about 20 pounds lighter
than the then champion.
Corbett challenged Jeffries twice
for the title but was knocked out
by the bigger man each time, once
in % rounds and the next time in
ten rounds.
Jack Johnson, the negro, who de-
feated Jeffries at Reno, in 1910,
was nearer to the big mans size
than any of the other heavyweights
who had met him for the title in
the previous ten years. johnson was
three years younger, one inch short
er and only ten pounds lighter
than the Ohioan. Johnson scored a
knockout in Is rounds.
Jess Willard, the giant Kansan,
was by all odds the biggest man
who ever held the worlds heavy
weight title. He stood feet inch
es, weighed $50 pounds and had de-
sided advantages in every way over
johnson when he won from the
negro at Havana, in 1915. When he
met Dempsey, two years ago, these
physical advantages did not enable
him to withstand Dempsey's sudden
onslaught, as he confessed after
ward that he did not remember
much after he was knocked down
in the opening round. -. 49,.

Big Gate Receipts

The Dempsey-Carpentier bout for
the worlds championship, at Jersey
City, on Saturday, will draw the
greatest "gate" in the history of
sport. ........
A month before the fight, Pro-
moter "Tex" Richard announced
that the seat sales totaled $3.50, 900.
Since that day, the sale of all seats
has gone on briskly except for the
$50 pasteboards, which are sold out,
and the general admission seats, to
be placed on sale the day of the
fight. Richard estimates that approx
imately $4,000 persons will pay a
million dollars to view the ring
action at Boyle's Thirty Acres.
Those figures will eclipse by far
all previous records for ring con-
ecSto VI any otleT SpOIt III tllS
country. The Willard-Dempsey bat
tie at Toledo, which established the
previous record, drew $451, 900 at
the box Office, puny figure as COM
pared with what the coming fight
will attract.
The Harvard-Yale football game
and the Indianapolis Speedway races
are annually reckoned among the
largest and most widely patronized
sporting events in this country. Last
fall, 10000 persons were jammed
into the Yale bowl when Harvard
met the Bulldog, and the total re-
ceipts were approximately a quart
err of million dollars. The attend
ance at the Indianapolis Speedway
event usually ranges between 1OO,-
