- criticism handed to the heavyweight champion because oC hi3 war record.
However, this will blow iUclf out in a short time and the chances arc Detnnscy
will be given a clean bill of health. The American Lcgiou, ii arc told, will
pd't tho caso up to the draft board and drop the matter for good and all.
,,But the promoters have not laid off the frenzied finance stuff and offcis
continue to travel westward for the match. AVilliam K. Fox, the movie mogul,
Stf raised his anto to ?3C0,000, and that's such a big wad of coin that Kcarns
will have some difficulty in passing it up. Ko doubt Tox is making u bona fide
bid and can produce the money, but it will be mighty hard to fcbow a profit if
hq lands the match. Before ho gets through tho cipenscs will amount to nearly
$700,000, which is entirely too much to be taken in at the gate.
Big fights have not been huge financial successes in recent years. The
boxers demand too much money, the expenses are largo and the promoters
liKvavti are taking a chance. Tor example, take the Dcmpsey-Willard fight on
.tiily '1. That v.as considered the biggest thing in pugilism; no match ever
received so much advertiiing, but Tex Bickard and his partners cleared only
a small profit.
It was held in Toledo, a city which could easily be reached from Chicago,
Cleveland, Detroit, Cincinnati, Columbus and the Canadian towns. There
were several million people to draw from, but the attendance was slightly more
than 19,000. That shows conclusively the drawing power of a heavyweight
?q'ntest, and it's n cinch tho Willard-Dcmpscy affair created more iuterc.it
than will the bout between Dcmpsey and Carpcnticr.
The gato receipts were said to be about 5152,000, most of which were
eaten up by expenses. The nrena, which was erected at a cost of IJllO.SOO,
vchs ufterward sold for $23,000. Kickard, however, paid no attention to pre
liminary expenses, as ho figured the bout would play to capacity, and that
meant a ton of money.
4
BUT, as teas said lefore, the fight fans stayed oica in droves and the
big production almost teas a flivver. It really teas a lig disap
pointment.
Gate Receipts Were $1,000,000 Less Than Expected
"VNB night over in New York a couplo
V inside history of the big bout
3Ie
tliin he expected.
"The arena had a larger seating capacity than any one bupposed," he said.
"There were 45,000 ten-dollar scats, 21,000 fifteens, 15,000 twenty-fives, 2000
at $30, 5000 at $40, 3000 at $50 and GOOO at $60. That made a seating capacity
of 04,000, and we expected a crowd of at least EO.OOO.
"Had every seat been taken, do you know what the receipts would have
been? Something like $1,800,000, and for o time it looked as if most of the
tickets would be sold. But something happened and we finished with only a
little profit,"
The Jeffries-Johnson scrap, which also was a highly interesting affair,
played to some 18,000 spectators and the gate receipts amounted to $270,753.
The entire country took an interest in this championship bout, but the fans
did not care to make tho long trip to Beno. Instead, they read about it in the
newspapers.
When Willard defeated Johnson in Havana the receipts were said to be
about $08,000.
These bouts are mentioned merely to show how difficult it is to set big.
fvell-Taying crowds to championship battles. Of course, more money is iu
circulation now than in 1010 and In 1015, bat at the same time it is dithcult
to. get the crowd. For that reason William K. Fox will have a big job on his
bands if he lands the match and pays out that big purse.
11 the boxing bill passes In Now York and tho bout is O. K. in that state,
Fox 'will have a chance to more than break even. But it is rather uncertain
whether or not the bill will pass. New Jersey also would be a good place for
the, battle, but Chairman John Smith has decided to ignore the match until
Dctnpsey straightens himself out with the public and tho American Legion.
1 ' . .
ALL Dempscy has to do is show a clean hill and he will receive fair
treatment on the other side of the Delaware rhcr.
Dempsey Poorly Advised by His Manager
TN JUSTICE to Dempeey it must be said he evidently was poorly advised by
- his manager dunng'the war, and the present criticism can be traced to that
source. Branches of tho American Legion iu eight different states have de
nounced him and praised Carpenticr, but as yet Dempsey has eaid nothing.
Jack Kearns is handing out statements to cverjbody, defending the champion,
when It would be mu'-n better if Dempsey spoke a few words in his own behalf.
'Kearns's attitude In the last few mouths has not made a hit with any one
nnd his work in the Carpcntier match has been roasted all over the country.
Dempsey can blame him for the jam ho is in now.
Personally, Dempscy is one of tho most likable champions wo ever have
had. He is a big boy, maks friends with every one, Is generous and alwaya
willing to help a friend. With proper handling he would bo the most popular
boxer In the country, but ever since ho won the title he has been placed in a
false light. It has been a case of too much Kearns.
With tho supreme council of the American Legion about to diop the
Dsmptey matter, the chances are ho will be restored to good standing. This
is as it should b 1'crhaps the champion should have enlisted, but that never
has been explained.
Deschanips Iccnpted Cochorans Offer to Meet Dcmpsrv
A OCOBDING t' tin 'atest gossip from Europe, Deschamps, manager of Car
"pentier. signed a (ontract with C. B. Cochoran shortly after Carpcntier (lat
t'Aed Joe Beckett in less than a round. It is ald the Englishman's offer almost
knocked the From h manager off his feet and he signed tho papers with circssive
glee. Tho amount he is to receive is less than $100,000, and now that the ex
orbitant purse3 are being offered over here, Georges is 6aid to be very much
peeved with his nianasw.
This explains the attitude taken by Cochoran in tho last month. While
other promoters were offering those preposterous purses, he stood pat on his
original bid of $200,000, and declared he would not raise it ono penny. He
knew what he was doing, for with Carpentier under contract for one year, there
u little chance of any one else staging tbo bout unless Dempscy does a mono
logue. There is another rumor going the rounds which brings Tex Bichard into the
potlight. Tet is said to be working with Cochoran, and when the proper time
come3, will step out and assist in stagnig the. match. Bickard knows how to
handle those big affairs.
Pcnii Committee Insists on Mystery Stuff
rpHE authorities ut tho University of Pennsylvania evidently are having some
difficulty in selecting a football roach, and are asking that everybody keep
their1 hands off uutil tue task has been accomplished. They have a desire to do
their work without nnvoutbide suggestions, forgetting (hut the public misht be
interested.
However, it looks as if the committee has run against n sag In its pflort
to select a coach. Folwell has not yet been named, which means there is fouie
ippositlon some place. The names of prominent candidates have not been men
loned, although it is known that several men are being considered. Wonder
rhy tho committee is so mysterious?
rnHEJin Is a persistent report out on the coast that Lena Blackburn, third
" basemen of tho Falls, is about to tako n long journey and play with Wado
KUlefer's Los Angeles club next season. 'TIs said that Gawy Cravath has
aogseated that Lena and Leo Callahan, tho outfielder, bo traded for an in
UUir, preferably "Curly" Brown or "Bill" Portica. Wo don't know who
titce teats are, but hopo (hey are good.
