Luther McCorty's recent refusal ot"
$12,500 to meet “Gunbont” Edward
(Smith, in a ten-round bout, following
close on the iormer‘s previous turning
down of $10,000 for a battle with
Champion 'Blily Wells, of England. has
called public attention to the large
purses offered and the fortunes Ibelug
reaped by the pugilists.
There probably it'l not a professional
or business man in the world who
would refuse such a sum for but thir-
ty minutes' work in the particular line
in which he was legitimately interest~
ed. yet a pugillst can turn down such
on offer with impunity, confident that
ill the end he will get it still larger
offer for his services. And the wou-
der or it all is, Mommy will proli-
nhly get it.
Quite aside froth the money end of
the present day boxing ring, the very
fact that such purses its the foregoing
can be offered by the promoters, de-
monstrates beyond any arguments that
can lie advanced by the anti~lloxing
element that there is n demand, and n
tremendous one, for the sport. The
promoters nre only offering the hoxero
what they think they can get back»
from the public. along with :l t'nt profit
for themselves.
And the foot that the offers from
twenty yours ago have grown into
rel-liable fortunes, illustrates the fact.

to puy l‘or wllnt they went; also, that
they want what they unlit when they
