not when it is taken into consideration how strenuously the boys are trying to work their way Into Berlin All of the seven boxers who could du so much good under the management of Uncle Sam have reputations of the first water each is a boxer who would jam any club to the turnstiles And there would be many a fan who would rather fork over a dollar or two to see a star boxer than to drop a nickel Into a Red Cross box Willard alone could draw $100000 house In a bout in which he de-' fended the heavyweight title and why 1 shouldn't the big American do that so that i every copper of that sum would be turned over for the use of his and our country?
