q million dollar house for heavy

logical. The purse for the boxers, $780,
uph for Dempsey and 100000 for Car
pointer. seemed I good investment At
that time there was no limit on the
price of admission to boxing bout.
The promoters were figuring on about
$50 Tor r!nGside seat. Their came the
ruling Of the National Boxing ASSoc!a-

ship bouts at SIS. This limit was adopt
sion. there is only one state, in the
United States where the lim!: does no;
