(By the Associated Press)--Its frenzy of ex: citement subsiding, Shelby sat down today to count its losses. On the debit side of the ledger, this Uttle Montana cow town, which had its day yesterday as the fight center jof the world, must write down a de- ficit of approximately $100,000, It brought the world's heavyweight |championship battle, to which 7,202 | paid admission. There was an outlay of $210,000 for the title holder; $20,000 jf0r promotion, and $85,000 for an arena. With the exception on salvage on the huge amphitheatre, estimated to be about $25,000, approximately $201. 485 in gate receipts, from which federal taxes of $22,448.50 must be deducted, according to figures made public here by Charles A, Ressmus- son, Montana co'lector of internal revenue, the entire investment was a dead loss. notionally, for Shelby, the fight Was &n outstanding success. The town Wanted Gibbons to stay with the champion 15 rounds, They saw him do it, veral thousand, a few min utes before the fight started, “crash- ed through" the fence surrounding the arena and swelled the attendance at the bout to a total estimated at 25,000. But their presence did not show in the gate receipts. The potential earnings of the cham: pion for the ficht were cut to less than $262,000. Jack Kearns, his man- ager, collected only $52,000 of the third $100,000 guaranteed his protege, after the gate noceipts had been turned over to him, Of this amount he paid for two preliminary bouts, at a cost of about $1,000, and footed a federal tax bill on $75,000 worth of tickets. The discrepancy between the} ticket sa'e total and the-amount he| received, was due to the fact that Kearns sold approximately 2,300 $20 tickets for $10, shortly before the bout, as a crowd of se’ apparently averse to pa, ‘al thousand, ying regular Yesterday’s Scores American League ‘Washington, 6-2; New York, Detroit, 7-16; Cleveland, 10-3, Philadelphia, 3-1; Boston, 1-8.

The fight crowa was subjected to a pro’onged wait before the title bout when Michael Collins, matchmaker, refused to permit the fight to pro ceed until the money to pay for the preliminaries and James Dougherty, the referee, was forthcoming. Collins, Kearns ahd Major J, E. Lane, trustee of the promoters, engaged in a hi ‘gument at the ticket office, the spectators sweltered in the hot sun, but a personal check for $1,000 signed by Mayor James Johnson, treasurer of the fight, eventually was produced and the balance of the money necessary was withdrawn from the fight account after a hurried trip to a local bank by Mayor Johnson's son, Bobby Johnson, Tom Gibbons, de! ted, but winner of a moral victory, nevertheless, in the eyes of She'by, which celebrated hilariously last night, will return to St. Paul, his home, with his wife and three small children tonight or early tomorrow. He was given a mighty ovation by the townspeople, with whom he had become immensely popular, during his training here. As he left the ring, a war cap of Indian feathers was pushed on his head, and his seconds fought desperately to keep back shouting, congratulating fans as he was rushed to his quarters, His wife, awaiting his coming, greet- ed him with a kiss when he reached home, Last night he celebrated. In- dependence day by shooting off fire ckers for the edification of nis boys, and greeting scores of friends who called to congratulate him on ais showing against the champion. Gibbons offered no alfbis for his de- feat, but declared he desired a re- turn match with the champion, that he had tired under the strain impored by the wrestling in-fighting during the bout, and that he was unable to ral when he sought to put over the knockout punch he desired. He was unmarked, except for a large blue welt on one thigh, which he said was caused by a low blow which inflicted severe pain. Fans who have been bewalling the fact that the challenger probably would receive nothing for fighting the champion, were heartened today by the belief that motion picture rights in the fight, twenty-five percent of which are owned by Gibbons, will net the promoters a considerable sum. ‘Terms of the contract provided that Gibbons was to receive fifty percent of the receipts above the champion's guarantee of $310,000, Inasmuch 9s the gate receipts’ were only slightly sre than $200,000, he receives noth x from the promoters. Gibbons’ trip-to Montana was not entirely barren of profits, however. He received $3,000 from Shelby for training expenses and from $100 to $400 per day dufing nearly three weeks of training in admissions at his training camp.
