Desnite Report of $34,000;
Creditors Are Getting But}
30 Cents on the Dollar 1
It will come as a shock to those:
who paid to see the bout bctwceu‘
Benny Leonard and Kid Lewis at the?
howark ball grounds September 23.
to learn that the affair was .a fissu-
(litl failure. The regiment of boxing
tl'tllurlltblfi who battered down the
It'll field fence during the third in-
nin‘g and saw the contest without ex-
pose to themselves save torn clothes
moy feel slight twinges of conscience
on being informed that the promotora
lost money.
NevertheleSs, the assertion of loss
will surprise all‘concerned especially
in view of the fact that it was an-
nounced after the battle that the re
I‘cipls totalled 834,000. Notwithstand-
ing this rosy report. Edward 1. Pro".

which staged the contest. is today of-

seemed that there was cnoutz‘lt mon-

other expenses and leave a handsome
profit for the club. To the r-liazzrin of
the Airdrome A. t‘.. it was found that
exactly 8800 was left for the club af-
ter the principal bill had bccn paid.
As the Airdrome A. f‘ had dependcd

Who Got $9,680 Balance?
if the reported receipt of 834.000 is
a correct statement. it is not difficult
to.trsce the disposition of the man“-
The State tax of 10 per cent. would
amount to $3.000 and 20 per cent. of
- the remainder that went to Joe Lan-
Jltn. lessee of the grounds, was 86,120.

Airdrome club received leaves a bal-
ance of $9.680. it is not known how‘
much Jack Curio! received» for act-

All of which goes to prove that pro-i

Experiments oh‘ the use of whea'

received attention at that time be-
cause of the increasing demand for
wheat and the gradual rise in the
price of the flour. The beginning of
European war in 1914 sent flour pric-
es still higher and gave added’reason
for the experiments. The experi-
ments were complete before America
