Nothing like that has been earned in Britale, but Carpentier was paid £10,000 for a quarter of a minute's work against Jon Beckett.
Carnera has earned over £50,000 uince he was discovered at a fair two years ago,
but his outgoings are large, and his not. Income is unknown.
Baseball, not being a British aport, hardly comes within the scope of comparison, but it is worth mentioning that, "Babe" Ruth is getting £16,000 a year in America
with extras.
Golf is a bad second to boxing, yet not too bad for contemplation During the boom years of Florida, Walter Hagen, golf's "dollar cham- pion, was. paid £8,000 a year by the Pasadena club, who stipulated that he must be there for the four winter months.
A Cricketer's Pay. With exhibition games and prize money Hagen was then earning pro bably £10,000 a year. Now he runs a huge business and is a freelance golfer.
Leo Diegel's present retainer from the Augua Caliente club alone Is £3,000 a year.
There are British golfers making £2,000 a year, but only a few and not solely by golf. There is not a golfer in Britain who earns £1,000 a year by golf alone-even the win- ning of a 2200 prize costs about £60 In expenses! And there are hundreds of professional golfers earning less than a good plumber.

When Walter Lindrum. the Australian billiards player, suggest before his departure from England that financially his tour had not been a great success, the firm who ar ranged his visit to Britain publish ed figures showing that during Lindrum's five months' tour he had been paid over £2,500.
With other earnings, this gum must have been increased to well over £3,000.
This is very good when you place it alongside the £400 paid to each professional member of our last Test tearn to Australia for an eight months' tour; magnificent compared with the earnings of a first-class Soccer footballer; but infinitesimal against the

At the invitation of the owner, a party of East End children were spending a day at a country mansion outside London. It was a sultry afternoon and swarms of files and other insects buzzed ceaselessly over
the ancient sun-dial on the lawn as the teacher in charge sought to ex- plain the meaning of the inscrip tion: "Tempus Fugit."
Suddenly one small urchin emit- ted a howl of anguish. In reply to a query an elder girl volunteered an explanation:
"It's them files, Miss," she said, "they ain't so toime as yer inks. One of 'em's jest bit our Alfy!"
