Grips and Weights.
THE matter Of grip and weight fol

Is one Of the major arguments. A few
days back, Mickey Cochrane handed
Al Simmons a lighter bat with q
larger hitting surface at the working
end.
There was q time when Babe Ruth
used a 52-ounce mace, but later in his
career the Babe came down a number
Of ounces. The heavier bat had more
punch when 1t landed, but the harder
to control or. to time.
Not so long ago Bobby Jones bor-

EARNINGS SMALL,
CHAMP SATISFIED
Income Looks Vast Fortune
to Jim, in Line to Get s.,
More This Year.

n YEw YORK. March 17.-Jimny
nj Braddock Is doing less worry
VI ing about a $1,000, ,000-nore
4 or less-battle in defense of
his title than most of those who have
been taking an interest in his affairs
seem to think. This the writer gath
ers from visit Of inquiry to Jersey
City where the champions home is
and where he has many friends.
1t may well happen, as has been
predicted, that when Jimmy hangs up
his gloves he will be written down in
history as the poorest paid of all fight
ers who have held the title since Jim
Jeffries.
If so, it should be borne In mind
that everything in this life, including
money, Is relative. What would be
pretty poor pickings for Dempsey or
Tunney would be fortune beyond
the dreams of avarice for Braddock.
Just consider his career a short
time back. He fought only twice in
1884, once in a six-round preliminary
bout against Corn Griffin and again
o6oA44ob COk41 LEWIS,
Made Money Transforming,
HE WORKED only twice in 1885,
turning in surprise victory over
Art Lasky and later a still more as
founding triumph over Max Baer.
A liberal estimate of his takings in
those four contests places the sum at
S25,oo0, of which, when he had paid
all his debts, repaired his bungalow
and made other outlays, not more than
a few dollars were left.
So far, the story Of his career from
the standpoint of finance is not of a
character to lead ambitious young
men into the prize ring. Since then.
however, we have a brighter picture.
The contract which he signed to
tour the country for 40 weeks at a
salary reported to amount to $4,000
week, really exists and Jimmy has
oeen fulfilling his end of the bargain,
travelling far and wide throughout the
country. 1t is difficult to believe that
any sane promoter would have agreed
10 pay the champion the weekly sum
alleged TO have been written in the
contract. Nonetheless, from all this
writer can learn, it is no piker stipend
Braddock has been receiving.
More Coin Coming In.
a ND, despite assertions to the con-
trary emanating from various
large cities Of the country, the fact
Is that the title holders touring has
been financially successful, chiefly be-
cause few tank towns Of the land
where world heavyweight champion
has never before appeared have been
overlooked by the wandering champ.
In such places his appeal has been re-
f1ected in dollars, and plenty of them.
You would not believe what an idol
Jimmy has come to be in the sticks.
From those who ought to know esti-
mate has been obtained that right now
Braddock is worth at least S15O.O0O. a
sum which means as much to him no
doubt as four times that amount
meant to former champions of the past
20 years.
And more will be coming IN. He
will fight some one next September
though whether or not it will be Joe
Louis seems to be a matter Of some
doubt just now. Anyway, he can look
for substantial increase in his bank
account this year, and, with his mod
est tastes and manner of living it is
already assured he will not again ap-
pear on the relief role of beneficent
Government.
And that's something, champion or
no champion. -

delivering base hits.

pETE GALIANO, stubby, olive
skinned Baltimore Italian who
gained a six-round draw with Dean
last week, collaborated with Johnny
again last night by duplicating their
crowd-pleasing performance over a
distance of eight rounds at Turner'S
Arena.
Pete co-operated so heartily, in fact,
that If the fight had gone two more
rounds, he probably would have been
returned the winner.
Taking three of the first four ses-
sions, Dean saw the tables reversed,
with Galiano annexing three Of the
final four rounds. Judges Bob Eller
and Denny Hughes and Referee
Mugsy Morris were unanimous in
voting a draw, all scoring 36 points for
each fighter.
While the feature bout, involving
Bob Turner of Norfolk and John
"Swede" Anderson, could not be
classed as a tea party, neither fighter
impressed local ring addicts with
