What reading level is The Big Drag book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Running bars seems to be about the only occupation for which the average fighter is suited, once he has hung up his gloves, and there are many of them around town. Mickey Walker, the old middleweight champ, used to have a place it still bears his name right across the street from the Gar- den, but he sold it to give all his attention to painting in oils, in which he developed a startling proficiency.
Jim Braddock, whose defeat of Max Baer for the heavy- weight title in the Thirties was one of t...he all-time upsets in the fight business, was another who once ran a tavern in the Garden area. And up in Seventy-second Street, twenty or thirty blocks north of the main stem, Benny Leonard fronted for a joint for awhile.
Most of the saloons in the Garden area, however, are taw- dry, sawdust-on-the-floor institutions, where, if they have a waiter, he slaps drinks down on your table and then directs you to pay him seventy-fT cents right away. They are sand- wiched in, too, by dingy little delicatessens and liquor stores and second-hand men's shops and newsstands, and with their Pour le Sport 107 clientele of mugs and pugs, they have a strange, musty air of yesterday about them.
