Champions Shy at
Risking Crowns
Within Garden
BY DAVIS J. WALSH
!. N, q. SportinF Editor

NEW YORK. Dec. 2I.-Although
Tex Richard will not admit It, there
is a fistic famine on in New York
and the starving, famlshed Sl5-a-
night species of fight fan Is fast dy-
Ing out on account of malnutrition.
For the first several months OF the
present indoor campaign, exactly
one title bout has been held. On that
occasion Jack Britton received less
than $4,000 for losing his welter-
weight title 10 Mickey Walker. Then
and there the rest of the big-timers,
who had not already rushed 10 COW
er, proceeded to do so with unseemiy
haste. They have found that It is
considerably more beneficial to lose
ones title outdoors, II al all.
II the transaction is conducted in
the broad, open spaces, many merry
villagers, even at q nominal sum per
head, contribute 10 the size OF the
purse. Indoors, az Madison Square
Garden, II has become a question of
charging SIS as a top price and do
ing business TO a semi-filled audi
ence or playing to a capacity crowd
IN which no man can count above
$3.50 when buying a ticket.
ms N4nle was rot so long aSO Wnen
SIS prevailed as the top price at or
binary bouts, such as that between
Pepper Martin and Babe Herman.
But in the meantime, your Broadway
sport has discovered that SIS will
buy all manner OF necessities from
1900 shoe laces to the privilege of
setting In a supper club for an hour
or less.
Only for a champion and a prlnci-
pal contender can such a price be
charged now. That is one of the con-
tributing factors In the suspension
OF Johnny kilhane, When Kilbane
was challenged a blanket OF snow
lay over Boyle's Thirty Acres and
the Polo Grounds and in conse-
quence his demand for 800, 600
could not be met. II is also the prin-
c!pal reason that Benny Leonard IS
doing all the talking, with his mouth
closed, however, when someone
mentioned Charley WhHe and Lew
Tender.
