Terry McGovern, who won the title from Dixon, is still earning a good income on the stage, but the bulk of the big fortuns he piled up has beca dissipated. He still has an incoms from his savings, but it is because friends have placed it in trust for hip.
Jos Choyuski, once a big earner in the ring, has some money, but is now planning 913 to get back in the squared circle. "Kid" McCoy, not as rich as he formerly was, tried it recently in New York, and has given up the iden of again becoming a light in the arena.

Instead, SELECTIONS bis koeping on the road with a theatrical company is a muster of neenssity. He is now abroad.
