Why be! & corporaion attorney? Why! be an editor? Why be any-| thing tirat’s big and lofty if money | ta our chief pursuit? Why not a fighter? They are about the oniy folk that get money in chunks and gobs for what seems like little offort. We have Benny Leonard in mind. In three fights—twenty rounds in all this little New York east side pro- duct has cleaned up about $20,000. On Monday night alone he got nearly $9,000 in Newark for dancing around Jobnny Dundee and now and then shooting in an occasional punch, Page Mr. Caruso. What docs he get? Certainly nothing like $9,000 for @ vinglo performance, and still this fighting game is more or less frowned upon. ‘That Monday night crowd at the Newark fight, for instance, was one of the most representative that could be gathered anywhere, True, it was made up of mostly men, yet it repre- nted nearly every walk in life, from the lowliest of low brows to the high fatutin gentiemen, who probably wouldn't want society to know they were present, yet they were there and most enthusiastic of all the throng. As on every wimilur occasion, che crowd wae almost as interesting as - the fight itself. For blocks around the Pat seegiment armory of Nem: ( Bowling Strikes xix and Spares ) be * of all n es and style; were parked, indicating that most of the assemblage came ‘from New York. These ma a full compliment of passen It wasnt until a lute hour aft fight that Ne felt relieved of the dutles thi cial oceasion seemed to provide. | None the less in size and exhuber- ance was the crowd which had to Newarl: trains rarely have carri tho sport off, those who won't realize ‘its importance to all men with rich red blood in their veins, still the fact. remains that there isn’t a single form of enter- fight. Gibson, his manager San Francisco, They lt out for the West very unexpectedly yesterday afternoon, Leonard is to fight couple of times in San Francisco in bouts promoted by Jim Coffroth and then is to work his way back bast by easy stages, fighting here and there en route, This trip affords Leona’ an opportunity of getting the money which wasn't possible for him to gather during the war. He is now in a position to go out and earn what a championship puts in anybody's w One of Leonard's fights on the way home has Jack | Brition as his opponent, This is scheduled for Denver, Col, probably | u& iwenty-round affair, It should be @ money-maker, at least. ent, We hope he won't get angry at our referring to him as old, but we can’t help it, We were ovly kia when Tom Was a leading light tn the fistic world, and we can't get over the idea. As a matter of fact, Tom isn't #o very old at that, and as we realize his knowledge of pugilistic doing: help come and valuable addition to any | New York newspaper as a boxing! ¢, expert. Tom's latest to us ts a sum- mary of the recent Jimmy Wilde and, Pal Moore fight in London, in which Moore got the decision, Savx Tom: IT have read in the English pa- pers Lord Lonsdale’s opinion of the contest, and being well ac quainted with his Lordship, first meeting him when 1 brought George Dixon to London, there 1s no doubt in my mind that his Judgment of boxing is the best in England. He ts in great demand there whenever they are fortunate in securing his services to act as judge.of boxing, He ts alwoys preference of any and all fighters. [have never seen Jimmy Wilde there! e cannot judge the contest between him and Mos 1 have geen the latter box, and was not much impressed with is w although he is a fair boy, bur not what T would class as a clanipion (this js not meant as a knock), as T do not know either Wilde or Moore personally, but 1 inti mately acquainted with Lord Lonsdale. He was sponsor for Dixon at the Pelican Club, now the National Sporting Club, whea 1 brought him over to fight Wal- lace, their champion. | know that if thete was any prefersace to be given and he could iv» it in fairness e would give hia de cision to Moore, if he wis one of the judges, without disercditinyy Wide, as his Vordship loves Americans. 1 have vead consid erable. of Wilde's prowess as a fighter. If he was weil and in con dition, and the man the Vngiinn claim'he is, and they are the best judges of a fighter, he has fallen in my judgment when he cannot whip a boy like Moore, alchough three rounds is no eniterion to fudge by. It was a yveat deal to ‘ask a boy of 102 pounds, which is ‘Wilde's weight, to whip a boy of 120 pounds. seq ie strange, if true, they have offered Moore $15,- 000, win, lose or draw, to meet Wilde in a twenty-round @ecision fight.
