Sixteen Dollars for His
First Fight..
THINK OF IT!
When Jack Dempsey read in the papers in Los Angeles the other day that Gene Tunney received but! 00 dollars for his first fight he let loose a hearty laugh.
"That's nothing," said Jack. "I fought for less than 50 dollars for my first fight. In my battle with big Andre Anderson in New York I received 16 dollars for ten rounds. Against Wild Burt' Kennedy In! New York also I got the large sum of 13 dollara. Think of it, a total of 69 dollars for two fierce fights."

JAMES TO PLAY FOR THE ARSENAL.
·Slight Errors in His Telegram.
LONDON SCARE.
The omission of a little hyphen from a cable on a Friday night caus- ed a quite incorrect statement as to the intentions of Alec James, the Arsenal's £9,000 football for waid, as to whose future associa- tion with the club there has re- cently been some doubt.
The message, instead of stating that. James' was re-gigning, stated that he was resigning, Jamas has actually signed up again and will be seen in the Arsenal's colours' for his third season this year.
