If those boys had been careful

be in a position now where they
could loaf through the rest OF their

the pathetic thing is that the vast

the last ten years are broke.

SAVE SHARE
Of MONEY
EARNED
BY Jack Dempsey

The ringmen and their man
ayers of this decade have had
all the best of it, as compared
with fighters of other years.
And that is due to the fact
that, since along in 1918 and
1919, there has been golden
era of pugilism where the
harvests have been rich, even
for the ordinary boxer.
Back in the other days the men
fought fewer times than do the
active fellows of today. Secondly
many of their fights were either on
the winner-take-all basis or merely
for side bets. Thus the loser got
nothing but a beating and even the
winner got little more than enough
to paw his training expenses and
carry him along until his next fight.
The result was that when those
bows became "all washed up as
ringmen, they had little or nothing
to show for their efforts. And that
goes for even the most frugal OF
the headliners.
The Washington times., 1929-10-31

Now their ring days are gone;

instead Of being independent

are living either off the help
of old friends or are doing odd
jobs that pay hardly enough to
keep life within their bodies.
The Washington times., 1929-10-31

But since 1918 and 1919, when
big purses became the rule, even
mediocre fighters have drawn
down more money than did the
champions of long ago. And so
far as the tOpnOtchers are con.
cerned-welI, those fellows picked
up net profits during each year
OF their prime that exceeded the
earnings OF the President of the
United States.
