Joe Freeman. prominent in
Washington as a sports promoter,
IL putting on this July 4 boxing
show in aid of the Clagett johnson
Post, American Legion. Whatever
profits are obtained will be devoted
to erecting a clubhouse for the lads
who went overseas TO look In on an
even bigger fight.
4 While wishing to have as fine
clubhouse as possible, no matter
how great, the Legionaires Of Laurel
also want a real boxing show. The
race track authorities are donating
the site to their assistance and have
no financial reward coming to them.
All working for the success OF the
show are giving their services. Thus
the promoter has been able 10 ofter
bigger money than has ever been
given boxers In this section OF the
country.
Johnny Dundee, because he Is
the worlds junior lightweight
champion, will receive for his
twelve rounds Of boxing exactly
S5. .0O0. IN the bout goes the limit,
Dundee will be paid $416.66 per
round, which Is q fairish amount,
eyen for boxing under the hot
sun.
George Clancy, who Is also 4 top
hatcher in the ring game, Is being
equally well paid for his errorts.
But his greatest pay will come 10
MIN n he succeeds in landing one or
his awful swings to Dundees Jaw
and sees the referee toll the tatal
