BOXING’S DERELICTS Greater fame and wealth are earned by boxing than, probably, in any other sphere of athletics; on the other hau. t none leaves as many derelicts as d° eS boxing, says a writer in the “Sporting Life ” The whole history of tie ring is one of dramatic and tragif contrasts —of wealth and poverty, ® rugged strength and broken mentality if not broken physique. George Dixca. the famous “Little Chocolate,” died penniless and friendless on a doorstep in New York. Ad Wolgast, once lightweight champion of the world, and a rich man, is now dependent oB another man’s bounty. His mental balance is deranged, the result of many punches on a supposedly iro® jaw; and another in exactly similar case is “Iron Man” Joe Grimm. Jake Kilrain, who fought John L. Sullivan for two and a-quarter hours with bare knuckles, is a night watchman. Tbe once Peerless Abe Attell, w 7 ho earned and squandered fortunes, is now glad to pick up a dollar here and there* The historian of boxing might fill * book with equally pitiful stories, pointing to a moral.
