cared little for consequences.
Burns had his hands full and his

FOOLISH
BOXER
Too crasping in Demands,
and So Loses Chance to

mistake,
Mascart comes to this country
without even possessing the title CT
champion of Europe, which is no
iridescent bauble in itself, but is.
|. at least, something on which to
hang one's-fame.
yefy few people in this country
have seen him fight. His record
is good. he has shaped up like
real fighting man in the gym, and
reports from France are all in
his favor, but the fact remains that
he has yet to prove himself before
the most critical and expensive au-
dience in the world.
Yet Mascart asks twenty-five per
cent of the gross to meet KID Kap-
Ian at the Garden-25 per cent,
mind you. when Kaplan. who has
fought his way to a recognized
championship, is willing to take 20.
Had the Frenchman scored a no.
table victory over some welI-known
figure and proved a real drawing
power, his claim might have some
foundation. But no promoter can
accurately Judge how the public
will react to comparative I'M
known.
Mascart is willing to fight Johnny
Dundee for almost nothing. He be-
Iieves that the once marvellous lit
tie fellow is burned out, and since
eJohn is still recognized as the
worlds champion on the other side
of the water, q victory over him
Bwould be a gorgeous flower in
the Mascart chapeau. Apparently
E.douard does not want any more
than 100 per cent the better Of it.
