NEW YORK, March S.-It sounds
like something out of Walt Disney.
this latest development of the fight
game. 1t has to do with television
and the belief of Mike Jacobs, bet
ter known as Mr. Boxing. that the
seeing broadcast will bring gates
of five or ten million dollars.
Mike was talking about it today
on the heels of word from England
that recent television broadcast
of fight opened up some interest
ing possibilities and brought some
very handy change into the pockets
of the promoters.
It seems Eric Boon and Arthur
Danahar tangled for the British
lightweight championship in Eng
land not long ago, and the stadium
was sellout. Every seat was
full, and still thousands wanted to
come in. So the promoters arranged
to have the overflow 60 to couple
of nearby theaters, which were
equipped with television receivers.
The theaters were only too glad to
get the customers-so glad in fact
that they paid $1,000 apiece to
the promoters for the privilege of
receiving the broadcast. Not bad,
eh?
Jacobs Sold on Idea.
Uncle Mike clicked his teeth and
decided this needed looking into. He
went up to the broadcasting studio
here, where they're experimenting
with television, and came away
considerably impressed.
The way Mike has it figured out,
when television comes in big cham
pionship fights will be held in small
halls, seating. say, between 1000
and 5000 fans.

Title, Become Pick
For 5tan|eyCup
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 8.-For the
third time in 10 years. the Boston
Bruins have won the National
Hockey League championship. And
since they didn't have to go through
a tough play-off series to win the
Prince of Wales Trophy this season
they undoubtedly will be favorites to
win the Stanley Cup in the post-sea-
son round.
The Bruins took the title the hard
way this year, winning 80 of A reg
ular season games to clinch first
place in the seven-club standing.
They have four games to 60 and
they can lose them all without Civ
ing way to the second-place New
York Rangers.
The decisive game last night was
a typical Bruin show, as they routed
the Detroit Red Wings, 3 to 0, to
clinch the title.

''Thatll be 100000 or more right

arrange some kind of plan like that
one in England-charge each thea

for argument. we should charge a
theater $1,000 to receive the televi-

there. And suppose four or five
thousand theaters took it. Figure it
out for yourself. Then there are
the regular radio broadcasting
rights, too. They'll bring piece IF

You can see, there are no end of

can spot the profits no matter where
