But the films were a failore, The first really successful a tempt in this Une was made in 18% at the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight in Car Gon. The pictures taken then, of course, didn’t compare with modern moving plotures, When shows on the film they @hook s0 much that It was diMcult to follow the action of the fighters and the * strain on the eyes of the spectators was terrific, But chose pictures made a for- tune for every one who held a slice, In the State of Uitnols alone the recelpts were over a quarter of a million dollars, And the pictures were shown for years. In fact, they're brought out even now ea occasion, Other fight ploture: money. The Sharkey-Jeffries films went well for a long time. When they were taken It was necessary to have a huge cluster of arc lights suspended and the | that even the apecta: halt oaked before the t y-flve rounds had been fought. Ae for the fighters—we: me two modern heavywelghts who can battle twenty-five rounds in a Turkish bath temperature and finish as strong ee either Jeffries or Sharkey. ‘The Britt-Nelson films were exploited all over the world and made a mint of | money. A good part of Nelson's boasted | $200,000 came from moving picture re- celpts. A fight can draw its crowd only + On one occasion, but the pictures go on forev Quite naturally when pictures of a big fight are taken the public suspects that the fight won't end in the first round, That's the one drawback in a picture fight Nobody wants to see a fight end tm the first round unless he has @ lot of money wagered on the result and Js sure his man will be the one to end it, But every one likes to have a jittle uncer- tainty connected with the affair, Uncer- tainty {s the thing that ie zest to @ ring battle. An affair that \s sure to last through the number of rounds scheduled |s like a cup of hot water without the coffee added, It lacks flavor. There's one interesting angle to the fight picture thing in this State. When boxing was illegal here it was quite natural that the authorities should in- terfere with the showing of fight ple tures, But now that boxing ts strictly Jowal what is to prevent the showing of pictures of boxers in action? Nothing unless possibly the pictures a of some fight lasting more than ten rounds and not held under the super- vision of the State Boxigg Commission- brought In big P| meeting of | has gone—Kone with nary a swan song.

Kline then jumped over Coster and climbing through the ropes made several kicks at Johnson and the other seconds in the corner, who Were also throwing water. | In the mean time Coster did not move, and at the count of ten seconds the referee waved his hands, acknowledging AMUSEMENTS. 6 ny AROUND THE W WON LD .
