NOW that we have settled the Dempscy-Carponticr thine and Handed a row
thousand words to tho victor and the victim, let's stray off the path for
a time and take tip another topic meaning Tex Rlckard, "champion pro-
Meter."
j Tex put over tho blfgcst athletic event ever held In this or any other
fcealsphcrc, nnd when the final returns came In he was declared a big winner.
Tkt curious fans kicked In with $1,013,380, and when tho enormous expenses
Wr deducted there was enough left to rest comfortably for a couple of
Kon.tb.4! Hlckard played for high stakes, gambled tho- entire bankroll, took
A long chance and now everybody Is telling him what a clever guy he Is. Had
1M gone overboard In this venture ho would have been swept out of the picture
Fp who wc peanut sneus.
It wasn t an easy tning lor.uicitnra 10 pui win us across, tic i
ot tven considered at first, because W. A. Brady and Charles Cochran were
the original promoters. They were brought into it by none other than Jack
Kearns, who, despite his numerous and glaring faults, Is one of the smartest,
afcrew'dcst managers we ever have had. It was he who conceived the half
nlllion 'dollar purse and it was he who dragged Brady and Cochran Into It.
Reams had to do a lot of explaining ut the start, bat finally convinced
Brady nnd his ISngllsli pal that the risk was small and the profits largo. Ho
tot a lot of publicity nnd this reached Rlckard. Tex folt peeved on being
declared out, and after calling on Kearns several times finally was admitted
u a third partner. This Is what Kearns was looking for. Ho wanted Rlckard
to handle the show, but didn't care to ask him. Tex had to do tho asking.
When the New York commission ruled that no seat could be sold for more
t than $16 for a championship bout, Brady and Cochran got cold feet and with
drew. This left Rlckard holding the bag, as it were, and Tox, too, became
Bcrvoua. New York was the logical place for the battle, bcenusc fifteen rounds
Wfere allowed and a decision given at the end. In Pennsylvania nnd New
Jersey no decision affairs are tolerated and it was feared that a bout like
that wouldn't draw very well. Rlckard was nil set to pull out, and It was
Ikon that Kearns got busy again and got him back In line.
' ...
HE HAD conferred with Detcamps and Carpentier, pained their con
fidence and then wrote to Tex. telling him they were satisfied with
i any arrangements he might make. All they wanted wot a chanco to
fight for the title.
Cuban Promoters Were Masqueradcrs
A STORY is told about the final argument which made Rlckard go through
with tho match. It will be remembered that two Cubans appeared on
the scene a few months ago and offered $800,000 to stage the match In Havana.
They were willing to put up a large bunch of money to bind the match and
for a time it looked as it they had the inside track. Those two Cubans, It Is
aid, convinced Rlckard that he should have the big battle. After they made
their HtUe speech the foreigners stepped ont of the picture, never to be heard
f again. '
" They say that Jack Kearns went to some Spanish restaurant on the
' ast Side of New York, picked up two waiters who could speak passable
: fngliah, dolled them up in new clothes and high hats, rehearsed them In their
, waking part and had them call at his hotel when Rlckard was there. They
' did that very thing, and made their talk so strong that Tex was visibly Im-
f ' tressed. Perhaps the entire plot cost Kearns about $500, and see what he
""'VJt.out of it I
After that another bidder appeared, this tlmo from Canada. This showed
JfeUxcst In the match something Kearns was trying to put over.
1 Rlckard finally selected Jersey City and then his troubles commenced.
" A new Boxing Commission was appointed and he had to get acquainted. Then
th 'arena was started and the final cost was three times as much as the original
aatimatc. Money was spent recklessly, and two ieeks before the fight was
held It looked as if Tex was about to lose everything, including his cane.
The expenses were close to $1,000,000, and nobody ever dreamed that he could
pass trial inarK in receipts.
Rlckard made one big mistake, but that was due to lack of confidence In
the match. He made the top price $50, and after that he feared it was too
much. There were Government and State taxes to be considered, and Tex,
rather than take a chance on adding 20 per cent more to the tickets, decided
'to pay tho taxes out of his own pocket. That gave him only 80 per cent to
work on. and it did not seem enough, especially when the boxers were to re
rrive $300,000 for their work,
i.- Anyway, Rlckard went through with It and got by. He entertained the
largest crowd that bag attended a sporting event in America and took In more
aoney than ever before. Out at Toledo the receipts then a world's record
amounted to $452,000. Lost Saturday almost four times that amount was
taken in. All of which goes to show again that one never can tell what will
happen in the sports world.
Dempsey now can rest comfortably on the money he has made, and the
ame goes for Carpentier. They were well paid for their services, but they,
too, committed an error In judgment. They were offered a percentage of tho
fate, but turned It down in favor of a flat guarantee.
.
HAD they gamoled with Rlckard, they would have reoeived at Icatt
$100,000 more.
Matt Hinkle Offered Million Dollars
rllS Is not the first time a promoter conceived a million-dollar gate at a
boxing match. Four years ago Matt Hinklo, of Cleveland, tried to put
ver a big match and offered $1,000,000 for tho privilege.
It was during the war and Dempsey was not seriously considered. Fred
Fulton was the big man then and htood out as the best of the challengers fur
Wlllard's title. Fredward had Issued furious challenges and was given the
cold treatment. This gave him more courage and he insisted that Jess give
him a chance to knock his block off. t
While this discussion was at its height Matt Hinkle visited Philadelphia.
Matt is one of the foremost figures In the boxing game and one of the
wealthiest men engaged in the sport. Boxing to him Is a side line and he
loves to promote and referee bouts. He never accepts a fee for refereelng and
most of the money ho takes in at his shows goea to the fighters,
"I would like to stage that Wlllord-Fulton match," be said, "and I
believe I can make It interesting for all parties concerned. The match will
draw a lot of money and I am willing to give it.
"If Wlllard and Fulton will get together I will pay $1,000,000 for the
match. The boxers will be paid out of that and all of the remaining money
will go to tho Red Cross. The idea Is to have the boxers do something to help
thalr country. The money will come In handy. All I ask Is that tho match
h held In Now York and It must be twenty rounds to a decision."
This offer was turned down by Wlllard and the match fell through.
However, had It been held at that timo there la no doubt that more than
1,000,000 would have been taken In at the gate.
rnVB llatt HinMe- was the first who offered to put up an amount
totaling seven figures for a boxing mat oh.
Carp Can Punch Jack Can Take It
rpHB pictures of the CarponUer-Derapsoy fight show that the champion was
J- in distress In the second round and ond all arguments about the effect
of, tho Frenchman's blows. Several Phlladelphlans who were near the ring
say Dempsey was almost due for a trip to the floor when Oeorges socked him
with those three right punches and the two uppercuts.
"Dempsey looked ready to go," unid one of tho eyo-witnesses today.
"Ha was hit flush on the chin, and before bo recovered from his surprise
another landed on the same spot.
. "To mo it looked like one of those old-time battles Benny Leonard used
to have at the Olympia. Benny la not a one-punch knockout fighter. Ho
shoots over his right, and when his man is dazed he hits him three or four
wore times before he drops. He did this to Jimmy Murohr. and I thought
rVaapsey would go the pninc way.
-f; "In that round Dempsey proved that he can take It He absorbs pun
taament and It will take a mlKhtv good man to win from him. .TarV tnnfc
, asough punihhment on the chin in tho second round to knock out a couple of
P&tf ;fett I felt sure that it was all over and there was no chance for the French
iSt' tmsin."

his punches over. However, Georges also had a break with those heavy
gloves. Dempsey might havo killed him In the first round had the four-ounce

MOW that it is all over, Jersey City will be placed in moth balls
again and go into retirement for another hundred years.

BRAVES ARE FIGHTING MAD
"We'll get going. Watch us. The

speaking and Wild Willyum was In a
much more jovial state of mind than he

speedy Braves In a hectic tilt and gen

all the players In the dressing room in
addition to the wide ono that covered
Donovan from his forehead to his chin.
The manager continued :
"They went out there this nftcrnoon

Outside of a none too brilliant fistic
encounter ns the game ended between
woo Dick Rudolph, hero of 1014 and
coach of the Braves' pitching staff, and
Boecklo, late of the Pirates, and third
baso gunrdlan for the Beantown nlno,
the fans, nbont lflOO of thorn, were in
terested in the gnmo from tha etart.
vc will digress from the fight a littlo
to tell something of tho victory. Cecil
Algernon Causey, whoso arm has been
giving him worlds of trouble for the past
few weeks, thought he had at last con
quered his ailment nnd started on the
till. A run, tho result of three singles,
convinced him in tho first inning that
he was not In shapo and Icfty Baum
gartner took the hill.
About Uaumjartner
The formtr Bethlehem Btcel League
twirler was nlrked for four runn and
seven hits during his tenure on tho
mound that lasted until one down in the
ninth. A bit of hard luck in the fourth
when the Braves scored three runs on a
Lie, a wain, a Holders choice and a
home run by Powell prevented him
from reaping more of tho benefits of
his twirling. The hard luck conslstori
in having n perfect strike, at least It
looked perfect from the nrens box. nsllml
n ball on Powell, which would hae sent
the outfielder back to tho plate a (strike
out victim. The next ball landed in the
center-field bleachers.
A trlnle by Williams, followed hv
Hack Miller'B single, counted the first
rnii run In tho fifth, while Wright
stone's four-ply shot in the following
Inning counted the second!. Johnny
Watson was shooting the pellet up to
tbe platter In masterful stylo and it
looked like curtains once again for the
Douovanltes.
The fireworks started In the eighth.
Bruggy led off with a single and Bautn
gartner followed suit. Lebourveau
socked a double to right and In came
the big catcher. King's sacrifice fly
counted the pitcher. Wrightstone shot
a triple against the wall in left and in
came Bevo with the tying run. That
was all for Mr Watson. Entered Mc
Quillen. Meusel was willing to break
his hitting streak that has lasted for
almost three weeks by lifting a long
sacrifice fly out to right that sent
Wrightle across with the winning run.
One for Boecliel
The Braves threatened in the ninth,
but faltered. As the fans were on their
Joyous way across tho diamond some
thing Happened Just outside tne uraves'
dugout that demanded attention.
Bocckcl ran out of the dugout and
smacked Baldy Rudolph solidly on the
chin. Another and down wont the 1014
hero. Tho fans by this time were
whooping things up, expecting to see
for one admission a real fight In addi
tion to a won baseball game. Wiser
heads among tho Braves Intervened and
stopped the fruccs.
As tho players were walking across
the diamond Rudolph broke loose and
started after the third basemnn, but
was halted before he had advanced
many stepi. That was all that the fans
and the press box could see. The cause
of the encounter is a mystery, though
it is Bald that tho battle is the result
of a long-standing feud between tho
two players. It doesn't help the team
a whole lot, though the groat fight
being put up by the'Bravcs may have
pomethlng to do with the tenseness that
must exist with such a team.
A's Falter Again

Bubo Ruth's thirty-flr&t homer, and
doubles by tho Babo, Kewrter, Meuwl
nnd Baker. Baker is outdoing hlmne)f
