I' ,,., J Sports Krtltcr Kvenlnic ruiiuc i.eatr
Ftrxtiua years ago naming .ci"ou mm .ioe nuns uoxcu in viumueiu,
Nov., for n purse, wlileh then was considered out of proportion. It wns
' li-Tex Itickard's baptism in the boxing game nml his methods wore strange
and very now. Nobody could understand him, the wise old promoter
hook their heads ind predicted speedy bankruptcy nnd the folks in the East
vrwere positive the new boxing Impresario was foolish and other things.
I" However, the battle was held, both boxer received unheard of purses
ond tho sate receipts were $00.71.". At that time it was n record, beating
the former mark of $00,300 taken in on November .1, 1SP0, when Jeffries
defeated Tom Sharkey in New York. In those hts the boxers were not
3 accustomed to purses running into five figures. They were billing to fight
for a reasonable figure, because that was all they could get. When Filz
, .inmions knocked out Corbett. the receipts Were SL'J.OOO. Fltz nnd Sharkey
j-drow $21,000, Jeffries and Fitzslmmnns, S31.t00; Young Corbett nnd Me
! Govern, $L'O.S0O, mid Nelson nnd Brltt, $27,770.
C- In those days it was believed that huge sums of money were spent to
-witness tho boxing bouts. Perhaps the old bnjs were rig.it. but you never
tcould get away with it now. Corbett nnd MrGovern would demand twice
as much ns they took in at tln gate and the nmo would go for Fltzsimmons,
Corbett, Jeffries. Sharkey nnd the others. The modern boxer knows more
' about the box ofiic thun tho squared circle. Instead of being only athletes,
.they also are business men. And you enn't blame them for that.
"' Looking over the list of lightweight battles fought in the past, none can
-compare with the present I.counrd-Teudler scrap scheduled for next Friday
'night. McGovern nnd Corbett furnished a surprise, because it was expected
that Terry would knock the set-up cookoo. Nelson and Gans were very good
-'and furnished two great battles, but to my mind, Benny and Lew will go them
. Tono better.
,,, In the llrst place, tho boys nre evenly matched according to the training
i camp dope. Both nre clever, both possess knockout wallops and they are
" .confident. Two scientific boxers with a kick in either hand will get together
in an eight-round battle and it will be the survival of the fittest.
The bout looms up ns the most important lightweight battle in history.
J"' There is more interest than ever before., a largo crowd will witness it and
' ' the receipts will furnish a new record to shoot at. More than $100,000 will
.flow into the box offices and n crowd of more than 30,000 can bo taken
. ' care of. Outside of the heavyweight championship bouts, this looks llko
the best of the century.
fE f e P'f,,,'n' features of the contest is the laok of big money
V talk. The boxers are not receiving tremendous purses and adver
tised extensively as icere Demptey and Carpcnticr. True, tho boys
are not boxing for nothing and will get a big chunk of kale, but they
-, tcill receive a percentage. If they can draw a record gate, they tcill
be retcarded.
One Will Be a Bum Guesser
PHILADELPHIA now is the boxing center of the world. Tho bout is
the biggest that could be arranged and will nttroct thousands of out-of-,
town visitors. The work of the champion nnd the contender is followed
closely every day and excitement is nenring fever heat as the day of tho
battle approaches. Tho fans are all het up and perhaps it is all for the best.
They need something to take their minds off the wonderful matinees now
being staged by our Phils and our A's.
Leonard says he will knock Tendler stiff and Tcndlcr says he will rock
Leonard to sleep and cop the title. This denotes confidence on each nlde,
or "words to that effect. Two winners will try to find out which one made
a bum guess.
Tendler can win the title by a knockout, or if he gets the decision on
a foul. In other words, it is an eight-round battle, with no decision if both
boys are on their feet at the final bell. This is no new stuff. Dcmpsey
nnd Willnrd were to box twelve rounds no decision nnd Cnrpenticr and
Dcmpsey did the same thing. Leonard won the title from Welsh in n no
declsion affair, and the chances arc that many others will be decided in the
same way in the future. But it is almost certain that somebody will go tho
Toyage. The fighters are not in love with each otlier and will try desperately
to soil the opposing map.
This bitter feeling and thc'knowledge that Director Cortclyou will watch
every move, will make the battle fast and furious, with each boy trying to
outdo the other.
'TUKRE has been some talk of a fake, but that alieays happens
before any great athletio event. Cnrpenticr and Dcmpsey toere
to waltz, Jack teas to flop for Willard and Kilbanc and Leonard were
expected to provide the public tcith an exposition of dance steps that
tcould make Al White turn green tcith envy. You know how those
bouts turned out. As for the coming battle, all I can say is, if it is
a Barney and the boys put on an act, then one can question the
authenticity of the Johnstown flood, the Battle of Octtiburg and
, Harding'a election. And that's that.
Much Credit Due Herman Taylor
TT WASN'T an easy thing to get the match for Philadelphia, but it finally
J- was accomplished through the efforts of Herman Taylor, the boy pro
moter, who answers to the name of "Muggsy" and doesn't mind it. Muggsv
conceived the possibilities of the scrap nearly n year ago nnd told his partner
Bobby Gunnis. about it. He had opposition from Tex Itiekard nnd Dave
Mackay, of Newark, but after a tough battle lauded the match.
Muggsy is one of the best known Philadelphia promoter's despite the
fact he is but thirty-four years old. He has boon in the boxing game all
his life nnd this makes his twenty-third year with the mitt sllngers He
started as an eleven-year-old kid putting up signs for Jack McGuigan.
graduated into the boxing ranks, where he fought n couple of timeo with
adverse results, became n manager, matchmaker nnd a promoter
. f.Hek V16 vld Bdwar Club n"r I-ew Bailey left nnd made a success
of It. Then he branched out nnd ran shows in Atlantic City. From there
he went to Camden, where he nrranged the best cards ever seen in Jersey
He was so good that when he left, they had to close up on the other side
of tho river.
During the summer Muggsy staged several outdoor shows, like Tendler
and Cline, Leonard and Cllne and Leonard and Dundee. All were successes
but not bo great ns the Lconard-Tendlcr bout promises to be. At cverv
show he proved to the public that he gave what he advertised and established
a feeling of confidence, which now stands him in good stead
It took him twenty-three years, however, before he stepped into the
frO? . v.! i . cnrc,erV IIc bm'n1' national figure after signing the
lightweight champion and the principal contender, and he deserves all he
success he can get. Muggsy worked for it.
ASSOCIATED with Taylor i, BoUy Gunnis, the jovial, hard
working promoter who also has been connected with most of the
big battles here. Bobby's work docs not bring him into the spot
light, but he u an efficient boxing man and knows hU business.

LAST REGATTA FOR BUFFALO
Phltadelphln onrsinen nre rolii'j to
make n big bid for Hie 1022 National
Itegntta. The miccess of the Philadel
phia crews nt Buffalo last Friday nnd
Saturday has nroused the Quaker scull

rous effort to land the 1022 rowing
classic.
It Is said thnt Duluth Is in tho field
for next ear's event and intends to give
this cltv n bitter fiht for tho attrac
tlon. Duluth is said to have already
raised n $50,000 subscription to back
Its bid.
According to oarsmen who competed
nt Buffalo, thnt cltv will never get
the National again for ninny cars. The
water is entirely too rough for rowing
and the curve In the course too severe
for the racers.
"This 1 my last race on waves,"
said Costello nt Buffalo Just before he
boarded n train for Philadelphia. "We
were warned that this course would be
bad, but never expected anything like
the conditions that sprang up Friday
and Saturday. Unless the National lie

will hang up my onrs for all time. I do
not want this to be nn nllhl in any way.

JOHNNY EVERS TALKS OF
PLAYERS WHO LAY DOWN
Places Them In Same Category With
Those Who Throw Games
Chicago, Aug. 8. Alt Chicago is
wondering at the popper of the Cubs
under Bill killefer, their new manager.
Chicago is wondering why Killefer him
self and the rest of the local outfit did
not see fit to show similar enthusiasm,
alertness nnd dash under Evers. It
is wondering whether the fault lay with
Evers or whether his charge that some
of his players "laid down" on the job
is true.
At any rate, tho situation is an inter
esting one. and Evers is the eorest man
in forty-eight States. Evers is tore
not only because he was discharged,
but because of the way In which it was
done. It was, given out that he hud
sunered a nervous breakdown. When
seen yesterday he looked (itiito normal.
I was not treated fairly, but there
Is no scne in complaining nt this
stage, he said. "I hope Killefer does
better. However, plnyers who quit
under a manager to get him out nre no
hotter than players who throw games.
I nm by no means through with base
ball. I aill CdillL' tn W Trn,nul.l. ,.

ent and voting there ought to be some
very entertaining golf.
A lot of golf wns played in the
Shawnco tournament Inst week, even
if it wasn't nil so good. Tho qualify
ing round set a record, that'll never
be proved, when it was won by nn 8.1.
It Is probably the first time nn in
vitation tournament which had promi
nent plnyers In the entry liU had a
score so high for the medal.
Shots continued to get caught in the
clouds in tho match play, too. One
half of tho reason was the wetness,
meanlnsrHint the course was well sat
urated by heavy rains that had pre
vailed right tin to tourney morning.
lhere was little run to the ball nnd
the shot had to bo hit right up there
becauso it virtually stopped where it
landed.
Another reason, said one player, was
that tho right is apparently encouraged
at Shawnee, more or less. At nny rate
it is n problem to get out properly.
Hie player Is penalized Instead of being
allowed to "get away with" the wide
ones. Tho course wns beautiful, but
very heavy.
Favorite Won
From tho btait, W. E. Donohue,
Shnekamaxon, nnd W. M. Heekle, Up
per Montclnlre, weie favored to come
down to the finals since they were drawn
in opposite brackets.
Beckio hnd a fairly ensv time ad
vancing, but Donohue was mixed up in
close matches from tho start. It took
him nn extra hole, utter he hnd beeo
three down, to bent Phil Tatler, Tren
ton, nnd another Tientonlnn, Bruce
Campbell, took Doiioliuc to the eight
eenth Saturday morning. A buried shot
in tho rough nt the eighteenth cost
Campbell that hole and the match.
These two matches seemed to hnve
had their effect on Donohue at the start
in the afternoon. He lost two out of the
first three' by taking three shots to
lench the green and was lucky to get
n half on the fourth. His iron hit the
tree, bended for tho mountains, but it
dropped u the edgo of the green. He
overran tho flag by 15 feet but sank
tho putt.
Reekie wasn't mnklnp nrn- mi.,i.

match, the tenth Tho final count wns

Cricket Club during the week of Sep

championship, but in fnct, the world's
title will be the (stake, for few are they
who will doubt tho tennis supremacy of
the survivor in u field so crnmuicd with
International court celebrities.
All of the forolgn plnyers who novr nro
In tills country for the Dnyls Cup
matches and ucvcrnl otlier Kuropcan
stnrs nre expected to be among those
present nt the Mnnhclm tournoy In ad
dition to tho crent galaxy of stars that
represent these United States.
Tho prominence o the international
fenturo is brought out with mora
emphasis In the announcement that tho
liritish Embassy has engaged n box for
tho entire period of the championship.
It Is not yet known of whom the party
will consist, but it Is believed that the
liritish Ambassador, Sir Auckland
Gcddcs, will be on hand, for he is nn
enthusiastic tennis fan.
First Nationals Hero
The dates or the tourney could not

In additional to 11. I. C. Norton, the
South African: A. II. Oobert. the bril

to America especially to piay in mo
Nationals, the members of the liritish,
Australian, Danish, Indian and Japan
csa Davis Cup teams have all expressed
themselves as desirous of pluylng for
tho American championship.
Gobcrt has been pronounced by both
Wllllnln T. Tilden nnd Snm Ilnrdy as
the greatest stylist in the history of the
game. "Ho plnjs in better form than
nny of them," says Ilnrdy. nnd but for
a faulty tempernment would more than
likely be tho champion of the world.
Alonzo has been cited by Tilden na
having greater promise than nny player
In Europe having n brilliant style quite
unlike anything ever seen in America.
Norton, who, it will bo remembered,
gnvo Tilden Mich n scare by twice com
ing within n point of the world's chnm
