The hardest thing a heavyweight champion oas to do is loaf, Unlike title holders of other classes he can't hop around the country picking up; weekly purses. When he fights there must be a big hullabaloo to make it worth while to a promoter, and this consumes a lot cf time. In this re- spect a heavyweight champion is up against it. He can fight only about once a year, and while he is well paid for it at the time, he must live the rest of the year. Before he was champion Dempsey's living expenses were just ordinary, but now he Is ealled upon to pay fancy prices for everything and is compelled to travel lke a king. Jack Kearns, the champion's man- ager, has had his heart set on a trip to Europe for some time, It is pos- sible that he and Jack may arrange for the jump across the pond in the! early spring, but as yet arrange-} ments for the future are far from complete.

He boxes on a percent- age basis. The State tax is taken out of the “gross’’ receipts originally, and fs deducted from his end aguin when the money is counted into his hands, this time the tax being applied to the Met receipts. The boxer, according to Mr. Smith, never won any degrees for mathematics, and doesn't know what is coming to him. “You publish the returns of the shows held at Madison Square Gar- den, but the receipts of such clubs as the Pioneer, Commonwealth and Star never get into print,"’ says the writer, who then inquires whether or not the reports of the clubs may be inspected at the office of the Boxing Commis- sion. We met Boxing Commissioner Dwyer quite by accident since the receipt of Mr. Smith's letter, and asked him about the matter. ‘At any hour of the day,’ the Commis- sioner promptly replied, ‘the finan- cial reports of any and all clubs may be inspected at the commission's headquarters at No, 299 Broadway.

They are resting in their dark crates, while their less lucky competitors, who obey the rules, are subjected .o the nervous strain of lights and crowds and noise. “Where is the sportsmanship in sending to Europe or elsewhere and buying a prize dog at a fancy price (some of those Europeans know how to charge us Americans) and bring him to a show to compete against the dogs whose owners have bred them and worked over them and ex- perimented for years to get the right bloodlines? We do all this, and then some one who is long oa cash and short on sportsmanship buys a champion or two or ten champions, nd pits them against our tediously reared exhibits. ‘The person who does that is no more a dog fancier, in my opinion, that porkpacker who buys a $10,000 painting is an artist, Perhaps | am wrong.

Rest his gallant soul! “By the way, fashions in dogs are as shifty as fashions in clothes. And many a breeder has gone broke by not getting from under when the shift came. For example, one } ug and one Newfoundland are entered in this year's show. I can remember when there were dozens of each of those breeds here. Incidentally, I can re- member when the first Airedale was shown in New York. He was a rarity then. There are considerably more than a hundred of him entered here to-day. I can remember, too, when the wire hair fox terr was a novelty. About, 140 wires are here. “Yes, the fashions come and the fashions go. And no one can tell why or can guess what will be the next popular breed to collapse. But I'll bet three hats it won't be the collie. There is a better lot of collies every year lately.

UTSIDE of all question of a O Scrap between Bill Baker and and Charlie Ebbets on the ethics of player tampering, the mag- nates were hit in the nose to-day by the large number of players who have not come :n out of the wet. At least a half dozen stars of the Yanks have not signed contracts, and more than half that number of Giants.
