Otto Borchert, owner of the
Milwaukee baseball club, is also
q boxing promoter.
Recently he engaged two box
ers for the main event, con-
tracing to pay one of them
$4,000 for twelve rounds of
boxing. AS things turned out,
this leather pusher took q knock
out punch on the jaw in the
sixth round. When it came time
to settle up after the fight the
boxer was surprised to receive
but 5000 for his efforts.
You promised me SO, 900 and
I've got it in writing, said the
tin-ear.
Yes, but you said you'd box
twelve rounds and here you have
boxed only six-so you get only

OF course that argument
didn't hold, but it was q good
one for Otto.
