WINDY CITY STADIUM
MAKES BOXING PAY
Profit of $52,705 Turned Up on
IA Shows-Dempsey Card Is
Most Lucrative.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
THICAGO, January Is. - Boxing
~ turned up a net profit of $52,70o
during 1882 for the Chicago
Stadium Corporation, which went into
friendly recelversllip last week.
Fourteen shows were presented and
al but four of them showed some kind
OF a profit, with the four-round exhi-
bition between Jack Dempsey and King
Levinsky setting the top mark of
$16637.
Levinsky's bout with Walker ranked
second, producing profit of $l6,108.
The biggest loser was the Baer- Ernie
Schaaf offering, which cost the
corporation $2,834, while q junior light
weight championship bout between Kid
Chocolate and Eddie Shea, lost $1,949.
The welterweight title clash in which
Jackie Fields lifted the championship
from Lou Brouillard, put only $857 In
the treasury.
Eoxing is temporarily out of the
stadium picture, but probably will be
resumed under a new arrangement.
The receivership forbids promotion of
events involving financial risk, but a
boxing club, the membership CT which
will be selected from the corporation
board Of directors. is being organized
to stage shows, leasing the building for
each event.

VET HURLER STILL

ready regarded by many
/ aStute base ball men as
the strongest contender in
the 1888 National League race, the
Pittsburgh Pirates added expert
ence to their pitching staff by the
signing Of Waite Hoyt.
Hoyt hasn't been more than a fifty-
fifty winner since he left the Yankees,
but other managers can't forget the
fine slab work he did when the Yanks
were winning pennants for the late
Miller Higgins a few years ago. And
he still is in his early thirties though
he has been pitching several years. He
Is shrewd and brainy mound worker.
Manager George Kibson of the Pi-
rates has ordered his pitchers and
catchers to report for preliminary
training in California on February %.
1t looks as though Gibson is going TO
make the pennant fight with nine
pitchers. Besides Hoyt he has Larry
French, sterling left-hander; Steve
Swetonic Heinie Meme, Erwin Brame,
Bill Harris. Hal Smith, Leon Chagnon
and Bill Swift.
HAL SMITH, obtained late in 1882
L from Kansas City, began his ca.
reer with the Pittsburgh team by de.
livering shutout He is right t-hand-
er powerfully built, and equipped with
everything that makes a big league
sharpshooter. He is destined to play
an important part in the campaign Of
the team, with French, Swetonic,
Harris and Swift Of equal Importance.
Gibson will give Brame a fair trial,
although he seemed to have lost his
grip on the ball year ago.
Msine. who held out for a raise in
salary until the 1882 race was more
than six weeks o,d, reported in poor
shape and was Of little help to the
team. In fact. the Pirates failure to
win the harpionship last year was at
tributed to Neine's refusal to report at
the training camp with the others.
ERECDY LINDSTROM, who Played
L nine years with the Giants and
was traded by Manager Bill Terry
to the Pirates last Fall, signed a con-
tract the other day after a short con-
ference with President Benswanger Of
the Pittsburgh club. Lindstrom is ex-
pected to increase the batting attack
