The present champton made a “iittle nest ge” with his theatrical engagements, at which he has been quite fortunate. His weekly earnings with the shows have averaged from § $1.7. That amount is the large recelved by any boxer in the world not even excepting John L. Jeffries or Jim Corbett, the latter of whom, it has been sald, was the greatest money getter in the the atrical boxing business As all ring critics when Burne makes a knows what he ts doing. fis est! mate of earnings in the Palmer and Roche fights of $19,000 will unquestionably be pretty » to the mark. His theatrical ments cover at least not more, for which not less than $22,000. that with make has also well match he he will These two last named sums, with | the amount made up to the close of the year 1907, total $109 Tt looks pretty big, but it's doi lars to doughnuts that it ts not one thousand out, one way or the other And Duras bas made it in soven | years.
