BY WILBUR WOOD. NEW YORK, December 2.—The big | boxing clubs, such as Madison Square Garden, are unlikely to shed any tears over the pronouncement from the In- ternal Revenue Department in Wash- that in the future exemption rom the Federal tax on ring shows will not be granted. Rather, the pro- moters are more likely to heave a sigh )f relief. The hoxers, ngton their managers and the various charity organizations will do the weeping over this edict. Their loss relatively will be much larger than that of the promoters. In fact, under the new have millions invested in the business may stage for their own exclusive bene- fit many big shows which otherwise would yield a share of the profits to charity ecent years the varlous charity ations have become increasingly > in raising funds by cutting in for a share of the profits of big shows. In the Summer of 1929 the Milk FPund coilaborated with Madison uare in staging the BSchmeling- Sharkey bout for the heavyweight title, Last Summer the same charity would have had a share in the Schmeling- Stribling contest had not the boxing commission barred the fight from this city. And next Summer it had figured on sharing with the Garden in & heavy- weight championship brawl, ‘There is now a possibility, it seems, that the milk fund will attempt to pro- mote a Schmeling-Dempsey or Schmel- ing-Sharkey fight strictly on its own by borrowing the license of some club and hiring one of the New York ball parks. To do that it apparently would be nec- essary to obtain a special permit from Washington and satisfy the authorities that the sums to be paid the boxers| were not excessive, according to the In- ternal Revenue Department's ideas of the value of those services. Managers of leading boxers always have been eager, for reasons that will be set forth, to have their pets perform on a charity card, as the fighter, and therefore the manager, ts consider- ably from the exemption such shows have received from the Federal tax.

He was Sandy Ford, the frightful old one-eyed horse which won the $26,000 Dixie stakes last year and made Willle 8hea and his wife Myrtle comfortable for life. The old horse wasn't in pain veterinary had attended to that; had administered on opiate. But he wasn't well enough to return the caresses showered on him by Johnny McKeon. friend. Johnny fondled and embraced him a dozen times, as he had done every morning for years, but old One- Eye didn't respond. He stood like n image, unable to shake his head or wag his tail. Tears trickled down Johnny's cheeks as he talked to his old friend and when he emerged from his stall the last time he blubbered like a child and said: “T like that old one-eyed horse better than I Uke myself. I'd work for the rest of my life for nothing to save him. He's the kindest, gentlest and most faithful animal in the world. He was my pal, the best friend I ever had.” VERY jockey, trainer, groom and stable boy knew the affection Johnny McKeon had for old one- eyed Sandy Ford. his one-eyed horse to E. E.
