Boxing turmoil ends bout for gate money dispute
At the opera house a boxing card collapsed after a purse split dispute with Jack Leonard of Australia facing Ben Taylor. A five-man “battle royal” preceded the main event, but the crowd got only half a show as managers demanded the main bout occur before payments. Several spectators demanded refunds while others viewed the cancellation as proper conduct to ensure the fighters earned their purses. The manager disputed, insisting the boxers deliver the goods first, then receive their gate share. He ended the affair with $75 paid out as cancellation.
