for one fight. can earn as much in
fOrtY-fve minutes as Ruth can earn
in 40 ball games at the rat" ~
100000 a season.
Ruth. to collect 100000 from
baseball at $4,000 a season. would
have to play in 10 Approximately
ball games, or. well say. $500
hours. Which means that Dempsey
can collect as much in thirty six
minutes (his last fight was twelv"
rounds) as Ruth can collect in
1,500 hours. In one way this makes
Dempsey, on the basis of an indi-
vidual appearance. outspan Ruth
by a margin of $500 to l.
There are two partial answers.
One is that Ruth can make 15t
major league appearances each
year. against two or three for
Dempsey. Another is that Dempsey
isn't worth 100000 for any one
fight.
The boxing game. in one way. has
it all over baseball as a money
maker. But not for the populacc at
large. There are only a few boxers
who can make any exceptional
money out of their trade. Whereas
there are many hundreds of ball
players who can at least pick up a
decent living.
It's a bit queer, anyway. you fig
ure it. Jess willard collected some
thing like $15O,00O for meeting
Frank Moran and Jack DempseN.
In these two meetings he was in
action about thirty-nine minutes.

TO CONFER ON GERMANY's
PREPARATIONS PAYMENTS

French financial experts, Louis Louch-
er. minister; of liberated regions, left
Paris this evening for London, where he
will confer with Sir Robert Horne chan
cellor of the exchequer, with regard to
the Preparations payments due by Ger
many in January and February.
1t is understood the British govern
ment desires to explain the purpose of
all the negotiations which reeenly have
been going on in London with DIR. Wal
ter Rathenau, former German minister of
reconstruction and other Germans and
also to discuss with NJ. Loucher a gener-
al outline of the reparations policy which
British financial experts believe to be
necessary.
Among those who are accompanying
NJ. Loucheur is Pierre Cheysson, financial
advisor to the French government.
NJ. Loueheurs trip to London was the
main development today In the repara- =
lions situation. Among the guarantees
under consideration in the unofficial ne
gotiations which are going on in repara-
tons circles is that Of control of Ger
man customs. 1t is believed that control
will be one of the eXactions demanded
i of Germany by the French government
before any delay Is granted Germany IT

Chairman Penrose, of the senate com

much favorable comment on the pres-
dents suggestions. adding that he and
other members of the committee had dis
cussed the proposals with the executive
before they We're presented to congress
by Mr.. Harding yesterday.
Senator Penrose expressed the opinion
that careful thought would have to be
given to the manner OF deIegating au-
thority to the president to change the
rates or proclaim American valuation as
the basis for assessing duties as chang
ing conditions might warrant. Amend
