TEX RICKARD'S DAYS RECALLED
CONTRASTS OF BOXING: TOLLS AND PENALTIES
"A GLADIATORIAL SPECTACLE"
(By Maurice Lewis)
London, September 25.
ON Tuesday night New York went frantic over
a man fight, a struggle between two fighting championsa Jew and a negro with gloved fists. Their actual combat lasted less than twelve minutes. Even the loser pocketed £43,000 for his gallant though inadequate exhibi- tion. Twelve minutes of intense but unsucces ful activity (with three minutes rest in between), and he was assured of a sum of money that would keep him and his family for life.
The winner. Joe Louis, in addition to his £43,000; now stands in line for one of the quickest fortunes that it is possible for: & young man to make. Ter Rickard, once the emperor of boxing promoters. must have stirred in his grave. The good old days of the million-dollar gates were back again.
