Ring Champions Inactive During Year and Turf’s Strong Season
The 1924 boxing year was marked by champion inactivity, a downturn in top bouts, and strong public interest in racing. Dempsey and Leonard faded from the ring as Walker and McTigue claimed titles, while baseball saw Keys like Dempsey, Hornsby, and Vance recognized for standout seasons. Belmont Park led racing earnings with $606,170 from 26 days, and the Rancocas Stable collected the most winnings across tracks, totaling $298,925.

Canton Year in Review Shows Pro Sports Flounder in 1924
Canton faced a bleak 1924 with scarce pro backing across baseball football and boxing. The baseball club lost key pitchers, weather hurt attendance, and the team disbanded late in the season. Boxing saw Tod Smith stumble against rivals while promoters and clubs pushed on under the Canton boxing commission. Professional football vanished from Canton as the Canton Athletic Association sold the franchise to Sammy Deutsch of Cleveland. Amateur sports surged with strong basketball interest and new athletic leadership at McKinley High under the board of education chair.
