FIGHTERS WILL MAKE FORTUNES : OUT OF MEETING Jeffries and Johnson Gathering "'''Thousands of Dollars Be fore They Enter Ring Next ; Fourth of July. ' ;i By Frrderic J. Haaktn. ! .'Never has the attention of the non I sporting publlo been so keenly brought to bear upon professional boxing aa It .' has ben alnca Jamea J. Jeffries, white. I "'. the' underrated heavyweight champion ; ' of the world, came out of retirement , and signed articles to fight Jack John son, the negro heavyweight from Qal veaton. Texas, for the title. What haa aroused the Intereet Of the general run of Americana In th contest, aa much as the tout Itself, la the enormoua amount ; of money at stake for both men. It la not exaggeration to aay that should Jeffrica vanquish the huge negro he . will be richer, directly and indirectly by 1325,000 for his trouble. Should . Jeffrlea lose he will still be better off bv a total ranging from $170,000 to 1180.000 ;',' Johnson aa winner ahould get out of . ; the engagement more , than Jeffries would for thla reason: 1 If Jeffrlea wins he will probably tour the country for a year with theatrical troupea and then retire permanently, while Johnson will continue to appear In combat for three . or four years more. If ha wlna the prestige of beating the white champion It will add Immensely to his value. As a loser Johnson will make almost asmuch aa Jeffrlea will by winning unless he ahould ba ignoralnlously and decisively beaten In a very few rounds. There la little, likelihood that Jeffrica will ever fight again under aay circumstances. And the white man retiring victor would leave the defeated negro still the champion de facto If not da Jure, a position ha now occupies, and aa such he would continue to make money long after Jeffries had returned once more to his farm near Los Angelea. zstlmated rifares. The ligurea given above are estimat ed thus:. The men are to meet, ac cording - to the articles, on or before July 4, 1810, for a, bout limited to 45 rounds, for a purse of $101,000. to ba divided , 75 per cent to the winner and i5'per cent to the loser. Each man also beta , 15000 on himself. Hence from the purse and bet alone the win ner will receive 180,750. and the loaer will get 20.:50, which la his ahare minus-the aide bet ' -f It haa been estimated that the moving pictures of the bout. If It la 10 rounds or more, -will be worth 1200.000, of 1 'which the promoters take one-third and 'the fighters the remaining two-thirds, giving each of the, pugilists about 6(, 000. But If their battle la desperate and sensational the pictures, ahould be " .worth far more than the sum named, and will continue to draw money throughout the - civilised world for 10 'years or more, easily bringing their Income up to $75,000 each. ,, 0ttg prfBCfjy saury. ; Jeffrlea" emerged from retirement last February and waa paid a princely salary on lhe vaudeville stage before ' he went abroad. In that period he must have made $25,000, possibly double that ' At present he is filling an engagement of one night stands foe which he is to be the gainer .by the tidy sum of $54 000. On a conservative basla thla totals , Hip $233,000 In round figures that Jef tfrlcs will make out of preliminary .exhibitions and the fight, if he wlna, and $173,000 If he loses. He cannot help getting thla, aa much of it is already in his hands. After the battle Jeffries can go on the road for a year at sal aries, ranging from $5000 per week for . the firat month, down to $2000 or $1500 per week for the fag end of the aeason. , He would not have , to remain on the stage 13 months to earn an additional .,$100,000. Most boxers would undoubt edly do this, but It remains to be seen whether Jeffries will. , " , Johnson's Earnings. '" It ' Is hard to estimate Johnson's earnings between last February and the ' coming July, but they ahould not be less than $50,000. He haa already fought five tiroes since last March, and one of the bouts was with Stanley (Ketchcl for a large purse. In fact It Is possible that Johnson will have .pocketed $100,000 before he goes against Jeffries. If he wins he will make more after the fight 'than the white man ; would have made, and If he loses he will continue, to enjoy, a big income, boxing Tor -purses of many thousands of dol- jars. Verily this is worth a beating. ' Previous to the huge purse of $101, 000 offered for Johnson and Jeffries, -the largest was $40,000, hung , up for the bout in which Bob Fi'tzsimmons knocked out Jim Hall in the fourth .round at New Orleans on March 8, 1893. Fitzslmmons received very little of his winnings because of a too abiding faith : in human nature. Next to the money fnisimmons aia not get, the largest puree was 134,000, battled for by Joe Oans and Battling Nelson at Goldfield, Nevada, September 3. 1908. Of thla Nelson, although he lost the decision ,on a foul in the forty-necohd round, re ceived $23,000, he having forced Oans in advance to such a dlviHlon of the money. When James J, Corbett knocked out John L. Sullivan in 21 rounds at New Orleans on September 7, 1882, he won $35,000, of which the puree was $35,000 and the other $10,000 a Bide bot. They fought on the basis of winner take all. Ham and Egg Money, v But It was not always thus Johnson has fought for five or ten dollars and been glad to get the money. Jeffries did not have such an humble beginning! in the ring as the average fighter. Ha was a atar performer almoat from the firat, but when hie ring .career began with knocking out Dan Long in San Francisco Jn 1890 he waa lucky to get few hundred dollars -for his work. The average professional begins aa "preliminary" boxer. That la, he takee part In the bouts preliminary to the clashing of two stars a sort of sppe User for the big pugilistic feast to fol low. For this he may receive as much as $5 all at once If he wins, but more likely he will have to divide $5 or less with hla opponent. Often he la lucky to get' a dollar for four rounds. After making a reputation In "preliminaries he may appear In a-seml-wlndup. which Immediately precedea the main bout Here he may contend for from $15 to $100, according to the Importance of the occasion and his own popularity. Town Constable trtunt. Even atar fighters have peculiar ex- perlnncea In the matter of purees, and more than one haa Indulged In a des perate atruggle for a small recompense. A case In point waa the action of Tom my Felts, the former bantam champion Shortly after he loat his title, but wai till able to demand a high price for his services, Felts wss scheduled to meet a comparatively unknown boxer named Danny I ..owls In a barn Just out lde of Washington. D. C. It waa a cold night but a aurprlsingly large number f fistic fans had gathered for the en counter, and the receipts were most gratifying. Suddenly a rural aherlff bobbed up and declared the meeting ad journed sine die, as far as his county waa concerned. The spectators got their money back at the box office, all except $28.50, which represented the do nation of nervous cltliens who had taken to the surrounding bush when the limb of the law announced hlmaelf. Confident that he had dispersed the gathering, the sheriff went his way. The promoter waa In a bad fix. He had arranged several other passagea at arms that had been similarly raided, and was getting In bad" with the sporting ale ment He besought Felts to take ad vantage of the sheriffs premature de parture to fight anyhow. Lewis had already assented, aa he , wanted the reputation of going against auch a notable opponent. After thtnKIng for a moment Felts calmly agreed to fight ror the sum left In the cash box. He went 15 rounds to a draw with Lewis, and had to work hlmaelf out to the limit not to be defeated, yet he accepted $14.25 with great cheerfulness, prompt ly spending It for. wine. Methods la Old Says. On the other hand, boxere In the early daya of the ring received more for their endeavora than haa generally been aupposed, and their methoda were quite modern. Jim Figg, who died In 1734, la counted the father of the ring, but he was really a sword and single stick expert who seldom used hla flsta. Oeorge Taylor, who succeeded to Flgg's amphitheatre In Ixindon, .offered it, as a battleground, on the terms of one third to himself and two thirds to the fighters. Frequently as much as 1750, or about 3760, was taken at the gate for these battles aroujid the year 1740, which,! with the value of money at that time. waa by no means a puny purse. Betting on the side waa always a feature of the early daya and remained ao until after the defeat of Sullivan by Corbett, which bout alao marked the general accepts tlon of the Marquis of Queensberry rules In this country. This feature of boxers backing their opinion of their own prowess Is still far more prevalent n England than in thla country. Innu merable challenges, with offers of side bets, are published in the English sport Ing papers every., year.. -. rirrt Black Bye. The first black eye received by pro. fessional pugilism was caused by a side bet. Jack Broughton, champion of Eng land and framer of the first prize ring rules, fought Jack Slack for the cham plonshlp. Broughton was so conflden that he trained carelessly, but Slack waa right on the job. April 10, 1750 and cleanly whipped his antagonist. The Duke of Cumberland had been Broughtons great friend and patron, and Is aald to have bet 110,000 on him. The noble duke was not a cheerful loser. He claimed Broughton had sold him out, and made auch a disturbance that a law against prize fighting was passed. Broughton's amphitheatre was closed, and professional boxing started on that furtive, precarious existence it has led ever since. CENSUS BUREAU SENDS BLANKS Will Be Forwarded ; to .
