By Ringside
. Chicago, June 12. Covered with
glory and rolling in wealth, the stars
of tha tuillstlc ring never quit tha
came, with few exceptions, until they
are forced to. Why?
Probably the fighters themselves
would like to have this question" an
wered as much as the fans. Yet tha
answer is simple. The fighters, as
well as the fans, would both know
.why if they would just stop to give
the matter thought.
He Stays There Six Woatai
Take the case of "Strong-arm Jones"
whoever he is, for Instance. Strong
arm layoung, say about 80. He's been
in the boxing game five or six years,
Having fought all kinds and manner
of men, he finally climbs to the pin
nacle of .his division and stays their
Meanwhile he has accurnulatedrtjf
roll that would choke a horse! Ws
got ao much money he doesntt cnow
what to do with It. He stows kwaar
nine-tenths of his fortune,; probably,
In something like real estate where
there's slight chance o' losing; exeflp'
through failure of the earthta Keep'
going around then sits backoflpea
with the thought that come what nay
he has enough to see him thl
though he lived to be 100.
Three Stars Examples
Just about this time some youngster
comparatively speaking hits him 'n
the Jaw with a swift right, and he goes
down, only to wake up with the word
"ten" ringing In his ears. He's no
longer the champ. But does he stop?
Not for a minute. He keeps on going
. until he has been knocked down for
the count several times more. If he's
a tenth wonder of the world he may
come back, but generally he keeps
tight on until finally the promoters
and fans together consign him to ob
livion, despite his efforts to keep jp
the sham. So lie quits finally, if h
Is forced to; if not, he fights whenever
he gets a chance. But he never quits
the game until he dies or he cannot
get a fight.
. 1 The answer? It's easy. Just a
sporting proposition. The fighting
bug, once in possession of a man, re
. fuses to let go. "Do or die" Is the
watchword, and sameness is the in
spiration. "Pride of graft," in other
words, refuses to let him acknowledge
that he's a "has-been.
Wolg'ast Pays Penalty
Look over the field once and see
how true this is. Take Ad Wolgast
and Willie Ritchie, former light
weights, . and Johnny Coulon,
. bantamweight
month, going California to enlist
In the Aviation corps. Bat Ritchie
till wants to firht with the gloves.
probably Just as much as he wants to
knock German aviators out of the sky.
Before joining tha Aviation cores
Willie made all kinds of efforts to
obtain matches, but he found ne
couldn't pick off the kind of money
ne got svhen he was champion.
Ritchie has perhaps $180,000. a good
part of it invested in apartment build
ings in San Francisco, and Is in per-
rect health.
wmard jcas Xads Tortus
Last and smallest comes Coulon.
Johnny has made more than I1OO.O0O
in the ring. " He doesn't need any
more, but he wants thai old title.
He made an effort to get it, recently
irom unampioa Pete Herman at Ra
cine, Wis., only to be knocked out in
the third round. But he won't quit.
And his health is better now than it
ever was.- . ,j.
All of which raises a question in
regard to. two boxers away up In the
world financially and who - are still
at their best in the lng. One is Mike
Gibbons,- the other Jess Wlllard. Mike
himself admits he Is worth 1170.000
and that he has most of it invested
in places where there is small chance
to lose. Tom Jones, Wlllard' s man
ager, is authority for the statement
that the world's champion heavy
weight has earned between $800, 00J
and $700,000 in the ring; and with cir
cuses, and that he has invested Jn

Judged incapable of handling his own
affairs. He was hardly a light welg it,
for he weighed less than 130 pounds,
but he fought in that division and
scored triumph after triumph until ne
landed on top of the heap when he de
feated Battling Nelson.
Xitohle Eager for Action
Then along came Willie Wtchle, the

ful of pep and confidence, and the de

No longer was Wolgast champion jf

round bouts were permitted, and Ad,
a shrewd youngster, pulled down the
big coin and saved it. He stuck a lot
of it into farm land In Michigan, and
it is there yet. a monument to the ring
prowess of its owner. He's credited
with being worth $200,OD0.
But financial success wasn't enough
for Adl He liked the boxing game,
and even worse than that there stuck
deep in his craw the belief that he
could accomplish that remarkable feat
of winning back a championship after
he had once lost it. SoAd wouldn't
quit. He got a new manager to go
ahead and arrange matches for him.
He fought battle after battle and
often met defeat, nearly always tak

Butte, Mont, June 13. (P. N. S.)
A total of 108 bodies have been so far
removed from the lower' levels of the
Speculator mine, the scene of last
week's fire and explosion. No hope is
held out that any more men will be
rescued alive from the clogged tun
nels. Many of the bodies so far found
have had wills clasped in their
clenched hands, showing that the en
tombed men had given up all hope,
even though they had lived for some
time after the explosion cut off their
escape. The bodies are being burled as
rapidly as they are brought to tlfe sur
face on account of their condition.
As an aftermath of the disaster, 300
miners at the Sim Orlu mine struck

It Sells Big by the Case
Buying ginger ale by the case for the home is an idea that
never occurred to a lot of people until theytried Clicquot Club.
Then the idea of keeping a case in the pantry and a few bottles
on the ice became a very natural sort of thing. This ginger ale
is made of ginger. It also contains pure juices of lemons and
limes, cane sugar and crystal water from a deep spring.
