First Million Gate

The very first million-dollar
gate was established July 2,
1921, in the Dempsey Carpenter
meeting, when the customers
parted with $1,7S9,23S to see the
Orchid Man meet the Manassa
Mauler at Jersey City.
September, 1923, saw $685.
603 paid to witness the furious
fight between Dempsey and Luis
Angel Firpo when Dempsey was
out of the ring and in the laps
of the newspaper men for a
brief portion of the milling.
Then Dempsey and Jack
Sharkey drew $1,083,530 in New
York in July, 1927, on the occa-
sion of Jacks efforts at coming
back after losing the title a year
previously to Tunney.
The last million-dollar gate
was recorded three years ago
when Max Baer lost to Joe Louis.
$1,000,832 being paid by 81, $50
patrons.
Thus, of the ha1f-dozen seven
figured gates of fistiana'S entire
history, Jack Dempsey figured in
five Of them, Gene Tuney in
two, and Carpenter, Firpo,
Sharkey, Baer and Louis figur-
ing in one each. Joe Is reliably
said to be on the verge Of his
second million dollar draw.

ShGkeup

NEW YORK, June 10 G.N.S0.
Confident he possesses the ma
terial necessary to annex the
third straight pennant, Col. Bill
Terry maintained today there Is
nothing wrong with the Giants
that little shake-up now and
then won't remedy.
When the Giants were in the
midst of a slump on their last
Western trip, Terry plugged his
nfield gap by acquiring Alex
Kampouris. Immediately, Alex
paid off, and the Giants stemmed
the Cubs threatening drive.
Again Terry has brought the
Giants out of the hitting dol
drums. Shaking up his lineup by
sending Joe Moore back as lead
off man, raising Harry banning
to second spot and dropping the
slumping Dick Barten, Terry in
spired 16-hit attack as the
Giants walloped the Cardinals, 10
to 3, yesterday.
MOORE. LEIBER STAR
Moore and Hank Leiber
smashed out four hits apiece, in
cluding home runs, Leiber'S four
sacker clearing the bases. Mel
OFT hit No. IA as the Giants in
creased their league lead over the
Cubs, who lost twin bill to the
Bees, to three full games.
Catcher Ray Mueller's homer
off Bill Lee gave the Bees a 1-to-0
win over the Cubs in the opener,
then the Bostonians took the
nightCap, 3 to 2, on a three-run
firSt-inning rally against Larry
French.
The Pirates won a 4to-3, 10
inning decision from the Phillies
as Al Hollingsworth, making his
first Philadelphia start, uncorked
a wild pitch, allowing Lee Handley
to score the winning run.
REDS WIN TWO
The Reds took a doubleheader
from the Dodgers, 4 to 8, in II
innings, and II to 10. Ivan Good
mans fifteenth homer broke up
pitching duel between Jim Weaver
and Van Mungo in the eleventh
inning of the opener and the Reds
smashed out 18 hits, including
homers by Harry Craft and Wally
Berger, to take the nightcap.
With the Yankees and Browns
idle due to rain in st. Louis, the
Indians stretched their American
League lead to a full game by
beating the Athletics, 8 to /, as
Bruce Campbell homered and
Johnny Allen won his eighth vic
tory in holding the Mackmen to
five blows.
Jackie Wilson held the White
Sox to eight hits in pitching the
Red Sox to a 5-to-1 triumph. Jack

Six-Figured Fik hts

There have been but half
dozen fights which exceeded six
figures in gross take.
The Tunney-Dempsey second
meeting, in Chicago, September
%, 1927, establishes an all-time
record, when $2,658.660 rolled
into the till for that memorable
long-count fight at Soldiers
Field. q
On that occasion Gene Tun-
ney took down the largest purse
any fighter has ever earned
1890, 445.54 for 10 rounds Of
fighting. DempSey's purse Of
$425,0 900 in the same fight is the
record for northampton bat
tie. 1t will probably be a long,
long time before either of those
high marks are bettered-or
equaled.
And Dempsey holds one other
record, that of receiving the
highest rate of pay per minute
in the ring. This was made
September IA, 1928 in the Firpo
fight. The bout laSter three
minutes and So seconds and
Dernpsey's purse was $470,000,
he being paid at the rate Of
$4,000 per minute of fighting.
Another million dollar gate
was the first meeting Of Jack
and Gene which occurred in
Philadelphia in '26. That one
drew $1,S95,733 with 10000
drenched and surprised indi-
viduals sitting in on the pro-
ceedings.
