The great John L. Sullivan made most of his money
meeting local fighters under agreement to stop his man or
j- oiAnn TJ ,iaii.illir umn T-Tia crinmnionshin ficht
with Jake Kilrain was for a $20,000 purse. He got practically
nothing when he lost to Corbett, who won about $40,000.
The Jeffries-Corbett fight yielded $9,900 and $6,600
respectively. Johnson and Willard fought for $35,000.
With the commercializing of pugilism, purses began to
double and quadruple. The Jeffries-Johnson purse was $101,
000 with receipt percentages that doubled the money. The
Dempsey-Firpo fight yielded $500,000. The Tunney-Dcmp-sey
fight last year broke records, $900,000 being divided
between winner and loser.
Prize fighting first came into vogue over a century ago
in England. The old English champions were gentlemen
who threw their purses to the crowd when the fighting was
over. The first great boxers came from Birmingham, and
the great steel center was for long the headquarters of Brit
ish pugilism. Mitcncll, iviace anu men were uie m .imiui
ions to hail from there.
Mitchell came from a fine old English family. Graduat
ing from English high schools, ho took a course of surgery
in 'jondon, where he had his pockets picked and went into a
boxing show to earn money enough to pay his fare home..
He became champion by putting out all comers. When he
fought Sullivan, he weighed but 165 against the latters 225.
Yes, there's a lot of difference between prize fighters
of today, and those of a few years ago. The popular objec
t'on to Tunney is that ho is something of a scholar and
gentleman, as the pugilists of old were, while Dempsey ful
fils the modern conception of rough-neck bruiser. No.v
pugilism is simply a commercialized industry. Gone are the
bare knuckles and the fight to a finish. But in its place are
gloves, limited rounds and million dollar purses.
Pedestrian Paths
William F. Woodward, former member of the legislature
Is starting a movement to have the slate highway commis
sion and the county courts cooperate to provide safe and
suitable paths or walk-ways alongside highways and market
roads for the benefit of pedestrians. He declares such pro
vision is as essential as the roadway itself. He slates:
Thcro Is wcll-detlned hostility towiivd nil motorists by many who
musl wnlk, bocnuso of present conditions. Our highways wcro never in
tended exclusively for wheeled vehicles. There should be a possibility ot
a common user, with safety for all.
The point is well taken, only what use would the walks
be, for who would use them? Who walks nowadays, anyway?
Only a few old fashioned fogies. Even the city sidewalks,
outside the business district, are so seldom utilized that in
many resident districts they are being cut out altogether.
About the only pedestrians using tho highways are those
who insolently flag every passing motorist for a ride, and
curse him if ho doesn't accomodate them.
For many years the writer has walked to his work daily,
a distance something over a mile, for the exercise. Years
ago, when the population was far less, there would be many
pedestrians on the street going to their work. Every year
sees fewer walkers and now he frequently never sees one in
a mile going either direction until he reaches the business
district, but a never-ending stream of autos frantically rush
by, which have put out of business even the street car.
In the days when the working day began at 7 o'clock,
every toiler had ample time to walk to his work. Now the
day begins at 8 o'clock or later. No one has time or inclina
tion for walking, even though it be but a few blocks Even
the school boys have to have their autos.
The busy business man cannot spare the time to walk
a short distance, but must use a car and park it all day with
the public street as a garage. To secure the needed exorcise
to balance his overeating, lie pays some professional to put
him through a gymnastic course in a stuffy, sweaty gym
nasium that takes twice the time and does half the good that
a mile walk in the open air would, or he cuts his working
hours to motor out to some expensive golf course and aim
lessly meanders around chasing little balls.
Even the itinerant toiler must ride in his ramshackle
car to his work, though the money so wasted would pre
vent associated charities from supporting his family in win
ter time. Whatever money he makes is utilized to run his
motor.
Walking, which promotes health and furnishes joys of
its own, is becoming a lost art and almost unknown to the
rising generation. Tho only walking they get is by public
icollection to hire somo welfare worker to supervise their
,mass hiking under discipline. The pleasure of a long country
,walk to observe the beauties of nature is nowadays unknown.
'What use would foot paths and highway walks be in these
days when there are no pedestrians?

Just starting on your honeymoon.
you secretive boy, ana we aianc
know a thins about It! Imagine
our delight when we saw the pas
senger list a few minutes ago and
found: 'Mr. and Mrs. John Hart
ley'l You could have knocked -vto
over with a feather."
Her nephew rather looked as
though he wished someone had em
ployed a- more telling weapon a
blackjack, for Instance, but his
aunt rattled joyously on:
T think your little bride Is too
adorable Now, do tell me when
it all happened."
She addressed Doris, pressing the
latter's hand in both of hers.
Doris looked, helplessly at Hart
ley and he looked back at her for a
helpless moment. Then, goading
his scnttered faculties, he moistened
suddenly dry hps and said, with an
effort at a grin:
"I think why, It was this morn
ing. Yes, yes, of course, it was this
morning."
"Dear boy " murmured the lady
affectionately. "He's really quite
dazed by his happiness, Howard.
Do you remember," she besought
her husband, "how you forgot all
the trunks checks, when we left on
our honeymoon, and we never got
our luggage till the day before we
returned home? And I had to wear
a blouse and skirt the whole time?''
"I always forget trunk checks,"
explained her husband with a sickly
grin.
"Howard always forgets some
thing," his wife declared. "He has
absolutely no head for details. Now
Jack, tell me all about it." She
returned to her nephew's lnquisi
tion, giving a delighted squirm. She
was plump and pretty In a middle
aged way. She was the type that
dotes on romantic novels and choc
olate creams, young Hartley re
membered with an inwaid groan.
She could be counted to attempt to
dissect his supposed romance to the
last kiss.
Hurry up and tell us everything,"
she urged. "Or no," she gave Doris'
fingers another squeeze, "you ten
us, dear. Men always forget the
realy romantic things."
Doris' eyes flew to Hartley's, re
vealing complete helplessness.
I It was very sudden" she
faltered.
Very," Hartley came to the res
cue grimly. "We r just decided
that's really all, Aunt Ida."
"And you were married this
morning before the boat sailed?"
beamed the lady.
"Just before the boat sailed," nor
nephew contributed feelingly.
"Oh what an ideal way to start
a honeymoon." His aunt closed
her eyes ecstatically.
Hartley remained grimly silent.
Ills aunt opened her eyes and de
manded of nobody Jn particular:
"Isn't it?"
Doris rose to the occasion and
said:
"Oh, Indeed yes."
"The little darling!" murmured
Aunt Ida. "Such sweet shyness. So
refreshing nowadays."
She gave Doris a playful little
push that almost landed her in
Hartley's arms.
"You musn't be shy with us, my
dear. Your uncle and I are so sym
pathetic. We adore honeymooners,
eon's we, Howard. So you just
spoon all you want to," she urgrd
her nephew, "and don't mind us
old folks."
Doris nulled away from arms that
exhibited no inclination to hold her.
She thought that Hartley looked
more as if he'd enjoy biting her
ear viciously, than bestowing the
caress which his aunt ured upon
him.
A deep melodious gong sounded
along the ship's corridors.
"Luncheon," announced Hartley
with satisfaction, as he rose quickly
to his feet.
devoutly, "I noticed plovers' ejgs
on the menu."
"Now. Howard I" admonished his
wife, "you know you must be aw
fully careful of your diet on ship
board. The doctor warned you"
"But I've had nothing escept tea
and toast all the way up irwn Flor
ida." "Never mind. You don't want to
be seasick, do you?" She turned to
her nephew and Doris. "Aro my
two little honeymoon birds coming
Ui the salon, or will you lunch In
stricteit seclusion?"
Oh, we'll come to the salon." de
clared Hartley, giving his 'bride' a
meaning and bitter look."
He herded his relatives out of
the stateroom and closing the door
upon ihem, turned to Dork:
"The seclusion stuff 13 all off
with those two aboard," he an
nounced. "Give me time and I'll
think of something else!"

LONDON WORKING

London. H The first move has
been made in Britain's electrical
revolution. The change will raise
the voltage in West London to 22.
000, four limes Its previous power.

have been made necessary by the
interlinking of power stations de
creed by tho Electricity act of 1925.
Tho whole of London's supply is to
