Other Sports Do Well.

WHILE Garden receipts from boxing
have declined sharply, in con-
rast to big rise in revenues from
other sports, Jacobs g. Co. have
'cashed in" on fistic recovery.
Heavyweight fights promoted by ia
cobs, featured by the million-dollar
louis Baer bout in 1885, have crossed
more than $2,000,OOO in two years.
The seven heavyweight title bouts pro-
NOTED under Garden auspices from
1880 to 1885 crossed only S2,25O,00O.
This compares with gross gates" of
S0,223,248 for five big title matches in
Richards time, from 1921 to 1928.
1t is curious to note, incidentally,
that the biggest money bout of all
time, the second Dempsey -Tunney
fight at Chicago, produced one of the
smallest percentages of profit for
Richards Garden associates. The
match crossed s2,658,66O averaging
more than s25 per cash customer, but
the payoffs left only about $780, 900
for the promoters. Tunney's end was
k990,000 and Dempsey's $425,OO0, so
shat, in every respect, it was the dizzi-
ct piece OF flstic financing of all time.
