This may be too high. But wrestlers do better than many people know about. It might be remembered that a wrestler can operate five nights a week in a rush Boxing champions must period. settle for two or three performances a year.

The only true answer to this salary matter in sport must take in the highest number who average the best pay over the years. My answer here would be baseball, where so many thousands are involved In so many leagues. There may not be so many Ruths, Fellers, Greenbergs, DiMaggios or Williams, but there are more than 400 big leaguers who can knock off from $7,500 to $15,000 a higher average for a greater number. Pro football can almost match this payroll with the two leagues reaching for a rival windpipe. The football players get all the money, and it will be this way until two strong leagues can play at peace, Which reminds us, we almost for-- ; got the jockeys.
