Big Prices Even Then.
The highest price ! remember was
at the Corbett- t-F1tzsimmons fight.
where seats in the ringside boxes
most advertised heavyweight cham
pionship match In many years. To-
day fight fans pay as much or more
for box seats. even when little fell
lows meet for the minor titles.
Modern gate receipts for any
championship fight run anywhere
from 100000 TO s1.623,000.
In the old times the gate receipts
for the Jeffries-Sharkey fight broke
all records. The gate was S66. 500
and the fighters share was $S6,465
split 1926.
Champions didn't demand all the
money In those days. They were
satisfied TO fight winner take all, or
for a winners and losers percent
age, usually 1875 or B5-S5.
Imagine a modern champion. even
among the lightweights, being inn
mensely nleased with himself be-
cause he won 10 per cent of $780,
365 purse, or 327,S49.
That was what Jeffries, the great
eet champion Of 20 years ago, re-
ceived for beating Tom Sharkey In
rs rounds OF the hardest fighting OF
his whole career.

Tulsa has had heavyweight, light

matches galore in the las, few
months, but so far as main events

The Lawler-Delnont bout struck a

that these l35pounders put on here

HOW TO KEEP WHITE CLOTHES
FROM TURNING GREY

Haven't you often wondered
why your white clothes some
times have a dingy, grey lookf
Almost always it is because you
haven't rinsed them thoroughly
and it is next to impossible TO
rinse clothes clean if you don't
use the right kind of soap.
Soaps that do not dissolve COM
pIetely leave little sticky, grey
ish particles on the clothes. You
lust can't rinse these off.
A soap like Rinse dissolves
completely. When you soak your
clothes in Rinse suds there are no
little bits of undiSsolved soap fat
TO hold the dirt. You can rinse
out all the dirty, sudsy water.
Then, too, with Rinse there is
no hard rubbing. 1t Joaks out
all but the most gTound-in dirt.
Use Rinse and your clothes will
always be snowy white-withOut
that grey look that makes you
ashamed to hang them out.
