AADADAAASADARARARARARA rT PAGEFOUK _ MONDAY, JAN. 31, 21921 PROMOTER MAKE S LITTLE MONEY | GETRICH-QUIGK CLAN ON ROCKS By HENRY L. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Promoters who go into the box- ing game with ideas of getting rich quick are blowing bub- bles, according to John S. Sm sey state boxing commission. “Outside of boxing circles ith, chairman of the New Jer- it is the common belief that promoters are making huge sums of money under the. high prices that have prevailed during the past year, but it fs not so," he says. “The commission knows it to be a fact that very few promoters in New Jersey found themselves rich when they figured up their wirinings at the | end of 120. What big money was made in the ring Went to the boxers! who never take a chance. “One big club in New Jersey lost | $15,000 and nome of the clubs earned | a very big margin on their investment. “There is no money in the big fights, The promoters who made money in New Jersey last year were the little fellows who staged small bouts in| small arenas regularly. Several of these ‘little’ promoters staged bouts | weekly and made from $100 to $200| on each. It wasn't big money but it satisfied them. “These little ,romoters helped the game also because they gave the fans} good sport at small prices and theg enabled young boxers to get a start. When the big promoters with all star affairs control the field, the only chance a young boxer is to get on in one of the preliminaries and there are always a score of applicants for| every open place.” Ring followers close to Tex Richard assert that a winter of big money outs in Madison Square Gardem has- n't returned the peer of promoters much of a profit. This may explain why the promoters are supporting the movement for low- er prices of admission because with “lower gates” automatcally will come lower purses for the boxers and great: er attendance. ————_——_ CHAMPIONS INO.

AY BE TURNED INTO HOSPITAL Bill Scheduled for Early Passage in Congress Sets Aside Big Sum for Enlarging and Refitting Post (Spectal to The Tribune) WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Fort MacKenzie, northern Wyoming's military post, several times threaten- ed with abandonment and during the Wilson administratinn practically de- serted, is about to come into its own. A measure, it is confidently expected, will become law before March 4 will authorize an expenditure of $250,000 for enlarging and refitting this fort and for its transfer to the Bureau of Public Health for use as a hospital. ‘Through a conference of Republi- can leaders of the house, called by Congreysman Mondell, approval was given to the so-called Langley bill ‘containing the above provisions. It was agreed that the measure should be called up and disposed of by the house during the first week in Feb- ruary, and the senate is also expect- ed to take prompt action. Inasmuch as the bill covers the entire program of hospitalization, its enactment be- fore March 4 is confidently predicted. Last suyjmer, through the efforts of Congressman Mondell, Dr. Cum- mings, head of the Public Health service, visited Fort MacKenzie and was favorably impressed with its pos- sibilities for hospital purposes. Fol- lowing this up since his return from Wyoming last fall, the Wyoming con- sressman has been successful in hav- ing the northern Wyoming post in- cluded in the national hospitalization plan. For years Fort MacKenzie has been made the target for much criticism ‘service will jthe big government hospitals, at opposition, resulting in its prac- tical disuse. Efforts to have it aban- doned were based on the fact that Wyoming also had Fort Russell, ac- knowledged to be one of the finest posts in the country. Opposition to its occupancy also came from army of- ficers whose social ambitions favored assignment to posts more convenient to larger cities. When the war w at its height, and with soldiers q' tered in tents and other unsanitary conditions, the war department stead- fastly refused to use the splendid buildings at MacKenzie—although al- ways insisting they would soon do so. Its taking over by the Public Health insure the permanency and fullest possible use of this es- tablishment. Congressman Mondell, through whose efforts the change is made possible, predicts that because of its splendid location, ample grounds and unsurpassed climatic ad- vantages, Fort MacKenzie,-as one i wi eventually be one of the Jargest in- stitutions of this kind in the nation. ends cai tes NOTORIOUS OUTLAW IS ON TRIAL OKLAHOMA CITY, Okia., Jan. 31.— —Tales of frontier days and of bandit gangs who roamed the plans of Okla- homa u score of years ago were re- called here in connection with the trial of Clarence Simmons, alleged member of a former notorious band of outlaws.
