La duracion de la pelea ha sido fl

Dempsey ha ganado mas de un million de pesos en- sus
cuatro amos como campe6n mundial de peso comp petO

la arena de Jersey City ell dos de
julio de 1921.
Desde hace varios meses ell ven
cedor de Jess Willard ha permane-
edo inactive, habiendo dedicado mu-
cho de su tempo en- paseos.
Hace algunos dias circul6 ell ru-
NOR de que Dempsey habia sufrido
la misma suerte que Herman, quien
fu6 descaHfcado como rival de Fir
po: el que habia sido knocbeado per
sus entrenadores.
Hasta ahora las apuestas cruza-
das favorecen al campe6n, pero no
en- Ia proportion que cuando Sc ha
visto frente a otros rivales.
Ell hecho de que Jack haya exigi-
do una garantia de 100000 de los
100000 que ganara, antes de lu-
char ha sido obieto de numerosos y
desfavorables concentrates.
Jack Kearns, manager" de Demp-
sey, declare hace varios dias que el
pr6ximo gran encuentro para dispu-
tar ell campeonato mundial de boxec
de peso-pesado no sera entire Demp-
sey Y Willard o Firpo, sino entire
Dempsey Harry Wills, el boxeadol
de color.
Kearns declare 10 siguiente
"Esto depende, como es natural,
del hecho de que Dempsey venza a
Tommy Gibbons en- ell encuentro pa
ra disputar el campeonato mundia
que tendra lugar en- Shelby el dia
A de. Julio. Nj Willard nj Firpo, sea
quien quiera ganador del pr6ximc
match, podrlan iguaIar la resistencia
de Wills, a quien es muy dificil ven
GER
Dempsey no hace question de ra-
zas, Y esta dispuesto a medirse cor
Wills el Dia del Trabajo, en- case
de que venza a Gibbons con tai dc
que Sc le hagan proposiciones salts
factorias"

John L.. puede haber ga
nado Glen mil d6lares quizas ciento
cincucenta mil en- el ring durante sus
dias de combate. No mas.
Nj tampoco aument6 su capital a
un estado plutocratico en- sus actua-
clones como actor teatral. En- aque-
Hos dias contratas de $3.50, a $500
por semana Gran consideradas como
cantidades fabulosas para un actor.
PIobablemente Sullivan no hizo una
touru6e de mas de 200 semanas en-
toda 81 vida de boxeador. 81 le po-
renos un promedio de $500 por su
trabajo en- el escenario este le da-
ria unos cien mil d6lares por sus re
presentaciones.
Cualquiera que fuera 10 que CANA

Jim lego a la cdspide del pugilismo
en- les momentos en- que los promo

.cordones de sus bolsas, y las gran

de John L., $4,000 de bolsa" y $4,000.
de apuesta. Muy pronto despu6s, su-
bio al escenario, trabaj6 base de
tanto por ciento, llenaba Ia casa,
con sobre precio, llenandolas por mu-
cho tempo.
En- amos despu6s Corbett pele6 con
Charlie Mitchell. Peter Courtney, Bob
Fitzsimmmons, Tom Sharykey, (dos
veces), Kid Mccoy y Jim Jeffries
(dos veces). Corbett gano por esos
combates probablemente no menos
de $4,000, que sumados a les 25
mil d6lares de John L., hacen un to-
tai de 100000.
El Mundo. [volume] (San Juan, P.R.) 1919-1990, 1923-06-30
Sin contar eI medic million que le ha de producer su Pc
lea del de Julio con Tommy Gibbons

Fu6 en- el teatro donde Corbett hi
20 su verdadero agosto, y nadie nj
ell mismo "Caballeroso jim" sabe 10
cue este le produjo exactamente. Pc
.ro Sc cree que fueran 100000 tai
vez 100000.
Jeffries, solo hizo una buena "a
fra en- SD vida como champion Y ESQ
fu6 en- 1910 cuando fue derrotado por
johnson. Recibi6 cuerenta mil dola-
res como su parte de vencido, diez
mil por gastos de entrenamiento y
como cincuenta mil por la parte de
la pelicucla, un total de cien mil do
lares por su actuacion de Reno.
EI gran jim recibia ell precio de un
tabaco por sus peleas antes de ser
champion. Bob Fitzsimmons Sc lie
v6 casi Ia totalidad del dinero cuando
Jeff le quito ell champion del mundo
en- Coney Island.
En- sus peleas como champion del
mundo Jeff Sc considerable muy afcr
tunado cuando 6stas daban un pro
medic de diez mil d6lares como su
parte El tendrfa como ocho de es-
tas, entire 1899 Y 1902, 10 cual quiere
decir que gan6 como ochenta mil do
lares peleando como champion. Su-
men los Glen mil dolares del match
de Reno y llegaran a la conclusion
de ciento ochenta mil dolares como
dinero ganado en- el ring.
Jeff gan6 una regular cantidad de
dinero en- sus diferentes contratas
teatrales-pero nunca fu6 una gran
attraction como actor. Y a 10 sumo,
probablemente no gan6 mas de Glen
mil d6lares de este negocio. Sumen
este a los ciento ochenta mil d6lares
del dinero ganado en- peleas y les
dara un total de $280,000. Segura-

mente no mas de 100000.
Dempsey All, que dife1encia!
Ali tienen ustedes un muchacho que
vive en- la era en- que los millones Y
les millonarios son tan numerosos co
mo las estrellas en- ell cielo.
Antes de ser champion, Dempsey
gan6 como $4,000 10 menos. lie die
ron por lumbar Jess Willard como
$4,000, por "noquear' a Billy Miske
100000 por su pelea de Bill Bren-
nan Y 100000 por veneer al queri-
do Carpenter.
Esto hace $532,OOO por sus esfuer-
zos en- el ring!
Las ganancias de Dempsey en- ell
cine han llegado a 25O,OOO-tal vez
100000. Ha chupado como ciento
mil d6lares en- sus tournees
de teatro. Unas cosas Y otras, como
por articulos para peri6dicos, entra
das a sus entrenamientos lie han su-
mado como $4,000.
Basando las cosas en- los mas ba-
jos calculos, Dempsey, en- cuatro
amos de champion, ha ganado 10 me-
nos UN MILLION DE PESOS-qui-
zas $1.1O0,O00. Y todavfa no ha vis-
to el fin. Pues Dempsey todavia es-
ia SECURE de una buena pelea plea
da por pelear-quien sabe tres, cua-

produzca otro million.

His Requisites For Victory.

There be fighting and victory without en-
husasm and the spirit of sesacrfice But only
utilization Of these qualities makes army We made good
all our defects as regards organization training and sup
plies with large quantities reserves and the unsr
passed heroism of the leading detachments
The individual and collective military training and the
technical organization the fields of our ac
tivty IN the coming years. We reduced the army to
100000 (from 5,3O0O0O). AS compared with the dmen-
sions OF the country and its population the length our
borders and the number of possible enemies this is
really not army but standing guard for this

and accomplishments the level of special guard

ing else. No, this is not so.
The army serves for war,
and we revolutionaries, less
than anybody else, can pro-
fess the view of the old
school that war injuries an
army more than anything
else.
We have built our fight
ing force and are develop
ing it, deeply convinced of
the inevitability of wars SO
long as society is built along
class lines. And the present
epoch of instability teaches
us that the period between
two armed conflicts appears
to be, according to the gen.
eral rule, shorter than we
should like it to be.
The next war which may
be forced on us, which can
not fail to be forced on us,
will have big aims on its
agenda. If, generally speak
ing, war is a continuation of
politics, war to us is a con-
tinuation of revolution-but
by means of an organization
so well armed and technical
~ equipped as no revolution
in the past ever had at its
disposal.
