By GKANTI.AND KICK
(t'opjrifffil, 1010, all' rights reserved)
WHEN Jack Kcarns, mauager for Jack Dempsey, the heavyweight champlun,
, was asked for Dcmpsey's price for a bout with Curpontier, Mr. Kcarns
mopped his brow with a perfumed handkerchief and said quietly, "Oh, about
$500,000." Whereupon most of tho bystanders fnlnted and there being no
stimulants on hnud, owing to the general dryness of that section of California,
they have remained in a comutoso condition ever since.
AVhilo the stricken auditors lay dead to all sensation Mr. Kearns con
tinued: "I understand that the promoters bclieu that thebout will draw $1,
000,000. In that event 1 consider half u milliou is u very reasonable mm for
Dempsey to demand. Ho got ouiy $27,000 for the match with Willard, and

as quite cheery withlu. No blazing, crackling log tire burned merrily
in the open fireplace because none was needed. However, these things could
have been provided had they been necessary.
Three wnltcrn stood on guard. No one knew why they htood on guard nor
Why they wer- waiters. Neither did they, lee yrcnm and cake were scrcil
and the oieniug had all of the earmarks of a liotous but pleasant one.
Scaled at a table in lliernrncr of the loom were lMdle T.culs, he of Iwclvp
cylluder fame, and Walt Atitlion . whose middle initial, for some rcaou or
Other, is "Y." Suddeul up spo'ii' ICddic Lew it.
"Walt," said he. "tell ut. a storj." And Walt spoke as follows:
"You gents who mingle with persons in the sporting world evidently have
forgotten that there is-such a tiling as business anil figures and things like
that. Xot that 1 am accusing jou of overlooking trifles, but merely to call
your attention lo a few observations of my own am 1 accepting Ibis oppor
tunity to orate. Sly topic, which will be freely interspersed with business,
figures and such. i one William Harrison Dempsey. commonly known as .lack,
the heavyweight champion of the world.
"Now .lack, nccordiug to the rabid icports I have perused in the news
papers, is about lo lie offered a litige sum of money. Hinging nil the way from
$125,000 to $500,000, for boding ticorges t'nrcnticr for the title. That's a
vhole armful of money, especially the half milliou which t understand is the
jnodest fee asked by Jack Kcarns.
"No doubt the old-timers who boxed tweuty rounds for 53.75 are envious
bf the fortune which is about to .be stepped into by our champion. Twenty
tttnnds with a $500,000 bankroll at the end means Mr. Dempsey gets J5,000
pr round or, to reduce it further, $S333.!3 per minute. If you desire to nscer
vtain the amount he receives per second figure it for yourself. Tou'll bo sur
prised. tCTO THE uninitiated nil of this sounds like an oration from n guy
' who took a too liberal shot in the arm or Aladdin, who had just
' knocked his famous lamp for n goal. Hut on the other hand, as I
understand then say at the golf club" of whicl 1 believe I ant a member.
there is a business angle which introduces your uncle, whose first name
Is Sam, I have forgotten his last name.
Introducing Uncle Sam and His Taxes
KfVTOW, Uncle Sam has his own original way of horning in on those big
purses these days, lie 1s the bloke who proves beyond question of doubt
that all that glistens is not 100 per cent to the receiver. He is the one who
puts the parade out of step and is the little fly in the ointment, as they say.
Every time he butts in there is n brain storm.
"Business and figures, as I mentioned in a casual, offhanded way, will
causo the storms when Kcarns and Dempsey get hep. Your uncle uses his
Initials before such things as laves, making them read U. H. income and sur
taxes. Don't be alarmed, but just absorb some of the dope.
"If Dempsey receives $250,000 for his bit he will have to pay Uncle Sam
h tax of $127,100', according to the tax tables. If he grabs that $500,000 all
he will have to hand to the U. S. Treasury is the small sum of $303,100. If
he splits even with his manager on a $250,000 purse, each will cough up about
$60,000. Therefore, ou can sec how much money Dempsey gets for fight
ing. Uncle' Sam should boost the match, because he gets all the best of it.
All Dempvey has to do is fight.
"Q course, Jack doesn't have to kick in with all of that dough. He can
try to forget he ever received such a sum, but if ho does, next year be will be
a sophomore at Leavenworth, Kan., or Atlanta, (la.
"Those big purses mean nothing these dajs. Kven if he goes to France
he Ah up against it.
Over there .they have
other taxes which will cut a big bole in
money back to this country it must be classed as income and some more
taxes paid.
"There is no chance to get out of it unless Congress enacts repeal or
new legislation on income taxes. A top notch, expensive boxer cannot expect
to t:t away with thoe out-o-proportiou purses. It isn't done these dnys.
Uaie Sam comes in for the lion's share and his business methods are thor
ough. He also knows how to use figures and those wealthy guys know it.
. '
tfTHVKE you have both facts and figures, to say nothing of the
business angle which was introduced earlier in the evening. But
before closing 1 wish to state that there is no chance, say, that money
received for boxing might not be construed as income. Perish the
thought! Uncle Sam, whose last name I cannot remember, settled
that point in the case of Mr. Willard and his $100,000 purse from that '
disaster at Toledo. I thank you."
Al Lippc Says French Will Bid High- for Bout
'A FTBIt the meeting adjourned and we were mingling with tho exclusivo
" shoppers we collided with Al Lippe, famous manager of boxers, who has
traveled all over the world with highly trained athletes.
"It looks to me," said Al, "that the Frogs, which is slang for the
Frenchmen, will have nn opportunity to see Dempsey and Carpenticr in action
If they ever put on their act. Those people over there are highly charged
with the fight fever, and now that Ceorges has stepped out in front nothing
will satisfy them but a match with Dempsey. jt
"Everybody stems to be offering six-figured purses for the bout,T)ut when
It comes to a showdown, and if the Frenchmen really want the match, they
will outbid everybody. I understand that Baron Rothschild, Duke de Cause
and Prince Murat arc thinking seriously of making a bid, and if such is the
cafj it's all off. They are three of the wealthiest men in the world and will
make the uther promoters take the count. Prince Murat, by the way, is the
man who otfercd his palace to President Wilson when he was in Paris.
"There is nn ideal place in Paris to hold the bout. It is the Velodrome,
which seats 80,000 people. There is a. roof over it, which means the bout
could bo belfl itgardlcss of weather conditions. There is no telling how" much
money will oe iiikcn in, but I really believe they could get $100 for some of the
Beats. When Papke boxed Carpenticr the top price was $10, and the arena
was well filled.
"A boxing match in Paris is like the opera. The chairs arc upholstered,
rugs are on the floor and many women attend. The women are great fight
fans. Another thing is, the government handles the tickets. No speculating
is allowed ut.d there never is any disorder. This is different from over here,
where it la almost impossible to stage a bis: match because of interference by
the authorities. Paris is a wonderful place to hold a championship bout, be
cause it would have the same social btandiug over there as a Yalc-IIarvard
football gan.e over here.

ttfARPEXyiEU must have improved considerably since I saw him
l
last. He is a hard worker,
the war used to box with all of the Americans who visited there.
Harry Lewis taught him a lot of things and Jack Johnson also helped,"

the interests of the game nt heart.
For it looks very much as if an Amer

to give it the tintil international flavor
there would have to be an American

Mr. Dallas said there had been no
decision atttempted at the meeting as
to the personnel of the team, and in
fuct that the whole matter was now up
to the F. S. G. A. A letter has been
written, and if there is a favorable
reply then a member of the Olympic
committee will ntteud the nationalgolf
meeting on January 9 in New loik,
and tell just what tho A. A. U. will do
and hear what the U. S. G. A. will do.
In other words, if all is well, the two
great associations will get together
and dope everything all out.
It is felt that the sympathy of the
l'. S. G A. will be all with the plan
of a golf event at the Ob mpics. Al

of this invasion of foreign climes by

becu involved iu such a small transaction.
And yet the bout might draw u million or thereabouts. It will be recalled
that they got something like $125 for ringside seats for tho brief but dramatic
Carpcutier-Beckctt bout iu London, nnd the thing was staged, in n space that
would not Bccominoduto u tenth of those who were willing to pay any price to
see tho bout. r If tho Dcmpscy-Cnrpcntier thing is held in, tho United States it
probably will be held in an enclosure about tho size of the Yale bowl.
T WILL have to be if the promoters expect to take in enough to
compensate the reasonable Mr, Dempsey, '
Carpenticr s Chances
ONE of the reasons why the bout may not be held in the United States is
that few Americans bclicc thnt Carpenticr would have any chance with
Dempsey, though many a doughboy who served'witli Carpentier's brother pollusj
m would ho not at all annoyed If tho Frenchman should knock Mr. Dempsey's
block off as the saying goes. Such a thing would be poetic justice and all that
sort of thing, but poetic justice frequently is, uot only blind but slightly!
paralyzed.
, If Dempsey of next summer is the Dempsey that ho was last summer tho
bout should end in a round or in ono punch. Somebody has just written an
inquiry if it is truo that Dempsey hit Willard a three-quarter blow. If It
was only a three-quarter blow that Dempsey used to drop tho heavy Mr., Wil
lard, it is fortunate that he did not use a full four-quarters blow.
F HE had he would have knockedjdr. Willard somewhere into the
middle of Lake Eric.
International Boxing Rules
THE army, navy and civilian board of boxing control has sent emissaries
abroad to standardize boxing rules, tho iden being to bring tho somewhat
obsolete Marquis of Queensberry rules up to date. One of the necessary items
for reform is tho fixing of. weights for the different classes.
The current lightweight champion, for instance, cannot box nt 133 pounds
ringside, which has been tho recognized American limit for the class. In Eng
land the lightweight is allowed 135 pounds. This is the mark set by the army,
navy and civilian board of boxing control. If this board insisted on 133 pounds,
it is highly probable that Benny Leonard would be legislated right out of his
title.
AT THE current writing that seems about the only way to depose
him al that.
FOR, $500,000 .Tack Dempsey is inclined to go to France. But when the
U. S. A. was willing to take him across for $30 a month Jack was not in a
traveling mood.
