"DAVE" SMITH'S EARNINGS.
The amount -of money which Dave Smith has earned in his recent engagements should be a great temptation to promising"' amateurs. In 1911 his .earnings in the ring -.were and his last,, five months' boxing he made j£1546. That is on- the average; about £'300 a month, or appreciably in excess of the salary <oi ithe Commonwealth Chief Justice- The possession' of a straight -left : and a quick sidetep ; ; »s a more valuable asset than a knowledge of the .law, or a genius for railway traffic management. Ano-her offer of £1000 fior three engagements, hasoeen made to Smith by Mr. Hugh Mclntosh,. but the .boxer has sniffed at. the terms. Yet £1000 for engagements,, making at most a total of , 4^ aourSj seems reasonable P a y .'to. a^ people who "have not been lucky /boxers, comments a Sydney journal.
