In The World "Of Sport STORIES ABOUT FIGHTERS WEALTH FINE, BUT FALSE Champions Fight F For Big Sums But Get Little Into Mitt to Stay Lor Long. It is rather amusing at times to read of the fabulous wealth of many of our famous fistic stars, as deserib- ed by various sporting scribes in their flights of financial imagination, When John L. Sullivan died a few months ago, he had accumulated $1,~ 000,000 by his ring battles, and was a very wealthy man when the Old Grim Reaper counted him out for- ever. During his entire fistic career John L. never won $100,000 by his fight- ing; however, he gathered in quite a large fortune for some ten years in his theatrial-tours after he had re- tired from the ring, mest all of which he lost in speculating in railroad bonds and moving picture ventures. The largest purse Sullivan ever a fought for was $25,000, when he lost his title to Jim Corbett." There was no losers end, so John L, not only lost his crown but consideroble thon- ey besides by this unfortunate battle. The last days of Charley Mitchell, of England, were somewhat like those of Sullivan, ' Some few years ago this very. clever, game boxer was worth probably $200,000. But Char- ley was a high flyer, he liked to play the races and gamble for hig stakes at cards and other games, and so lit- tle by. little his omfortable fortune slipped away, until finally he had very little left when he was called to his. fahers, 5 The other day a New printed the following on 'page: "When Jess Willard defeated Jack Johnson for the heavyweight cham- pionsliip, on April 5th, 1915, he did not gain a penny for Lis win.over the York paper its sporting 2 TRY 5c Poet Cigar 5c Look for Silk Thread on pf of Each Cigar.

Jess entered thie ring against Johnson and was promised about $10,000 for his end, but ac- cording te -a well-known promoter of New Cork he owed thet sum and paid dt after-the battle, thus leaving him- self flat, "Less than three years later, March to be exact, Willard was rated as the possessor of a fortune that ranged between $350,000 and $500,- 000. This is a record for fortune making, when it is considered from the time he faced Jack Johnson until the present day the hig fellow was only fought thirty-six rounds. Wil- lard made most of his fortune on his reputation. Soon after his battle with Johnson he APDesrod on the Amerian stage for more than six months and received a very fat salary for this." Where, O where, did Jess corral $500,000 or even $350,000 since he became champion, Mr. Scribe? Not with his eircuis or on the stage, old scout, for the last three ygars. Bat maybe Willard has been playing the stock market or possibly ceaps, and been lucky, wha knows? k Perhaps the big champion "has $100,000, but no such big figure as reported above. However, Jess is no spendthrift, but rather a shrewd last {Dick Burge, ouly left $5,000 to his business man who is apt to run his bankroll up to halt a mi lop or more within the next ten years. According to a recent letter from England, the popular former light- weight champion of that country, widow.

Carpentier Shows He Is Something Besides Good Boxer. The great inter-allied military sports meeting which took place in Paris last Sunday, revealed the fact that since the war began Georges Carpentier, the bofing dhampion, now an aviator, had developed into a first-class all-round athlete, Carpen- tier pust missed by inches winning| his heat in the 100 meters flat race, and was placed third in a very stift high-jumping contest, in whi¢h he' cleared 1 meter and 65 centimeters | (about 5 feet § inches) as compared, with 1 meter and 65 centimeters and 1 meter and 70 centimeters cleared by the men returned first and second, respectively, In the 1,000 meters inter-allied re- lay race the United States team, con- sisting of Spink, Lennon and Eller, reached home a dozen yards behind the French team of four, which was placed first, and administered a beat- ing to the Italian and Belgian teams. The inter-allied contest for gren-| ade-throwing was won by Schoekers, of the Belgian army, with 66 meters, an American, Hugh Doherty, being placed fourth, after the Belgian and French representatives, with 64 me- ters and 12 centimeters each.

Although a majority of the east: ern colleges which will support foot- ball during the coming autumn have completed their playing. schedules, no definite action in this direction has been taken by Harvard, 'Prince- ton or Yale. The situation is still being discussed in an informal way by both graduate and faculty re> presentatives, but no concrete pro- gramme is likely to be announced | for some time. That the prospects for th€ re- sumption of the game at these large institutions are improving is indi- ated by a report that football may is played; though upon a reduced It is said that the proposal has been made to limit practice to not more than two or three sessions a week, with a game scheduled for every other Saturday. If this.agree- ment should be adopted not more than six games would be played in (the 1918 season, during which each of the "Big Three" elevens would play the other two teams forming, the triangular league. GRIDIRON STAR DEC ORATED, Moore, of Princeton Volunteers, for Hazardous Task, = In the official war report issued in Washington was the announcement | that Lieut, Billy Moore, former ath- lete and gridiron star of Prinecton, has been decorated with the Distin- wished Service Cross, The official statement from Gen. Pershing to the War Department reads: "On June 6th Lieut, Moore volun- teered and took a truckload of am- munition and material into the town of Bougesches over a'road swept by artillery and 'machine-gun fire, there- by relieving a eritical situation." Moore made himself famous whevo | in 1916 in the intercollegiate track and field meet he scored éight ont of | the'ten points made by the Princeton | athletes. . He was a member of thé} Tiger eleven, and in the fall of 1916 | was a factor in the games against og Harvard and Yale. The Rare Triple Play. Just how rare the triple play baseball is may be gleaned from the experience of Miller Huggins. It was about twenty years ago that | Huggins began his baseball career, and this is his fifteenth season in the | major leagues. After the Yankees reeled offia triple play recently in a game against the White Sox Huggins | remarked that it was the second such' play he had seen since he put on his first baseball uniform, The other occurred when he was a member of the Cincinnati Reds, and Huggins played a hand in this performance. Wien it is recalled that Huggins has been player or manager in close on 2,600 major games it becomes evi- dent that the triple play is indeed a rarity, Women Ushers At Polo Grounds. To fortify the New York club against a shortage of ushers in view of the strict enforcement of the "work or fight" law officials of the Giants have engaged women' to act as ushers in the upper tier of the grand stand. A dozen dr more neat- ly attired young women chaperoned the fans to their seats just before the lies,and the innovation made a great hit with the fans. dt is likely that other young women will-be engaged in the near future to fake charge of the seating of fans in the lower sec- tion of the stand. A prominent physical director of Detroit says every great athlete in- herits 'his physical perfection from his . mother. If this is true, Fred Fulton's father has the sympathy of the male sex. Baseball promised to succeed cricket in Englind as the most popular pastime. The Cockney fan in the bleachérs will now be shout- ing, " "Aul the Humpire Hout."
