year.
Lord Lonsdale, the grand old man of British sport, has express- ed the opinion that "The ruination of boxing is the enormous, sums paid to the boxers, sums which are out of all proportion to the science, merita, and education of the men and out of all proportion also to the rewards of the ordinary man. in profestakes him under his wing, spends sional life,"

His demands are out of all proportion to his man's ability, so the promoters shy off, and the youthful fighter is allowed to waste his precious time in newspaper warfare when The he should be in the ring. natural result is that he doesn't improve. That is the reason for the general slump in the world's

Tex Richard cleaned up £200,000, of which the champion took the lion's share. Manager Kearns saw, to that. Mainly owing to Kearns' rapacity (his friends call it shrewdness) Dempsey has cleaned up nearly £400,000 out of fighting, stage appearances, and pictures since he won the title.
