Thrown in contact with the boxing game by accident, Rickard, an account of whose career reads like fiction, ac- complished nearly everything he set his mind on doing and has kept go- ing along suce esstully, despite condi- mes made the word 2m attractive. kard was born in Kansas City, . 2, 1871, ‘His father, a mill- wright, moved to the Panhandle of ‘Texas when the embryo promoter was a small boy. At the age of 12 years, thrown on his own resources, with a widowed mother, two brothers and three si: to support, “Tex” turned to the calling of cow-punching, then universal in Texas. Then started the travels which have made this mana “citizen of world.” He met success in the cattle business but in 1094 “hit the trail” for, the Klondike. Months .of hard- ship brought fair returns but after a New York, wp the) RR een year or two in Dawson, Rickard again moved. This time, he drew up in Gold: field, Nev., at the time when the min-; ing craze "engulfed. that section. ‘The promotion of big enterprises with the aid of virttially no capital has been characteristic of this prospector! who has tapped the gold mines of Broadway as well as of the Klondike and Nevada, From his friends he se- ‘ured enough money to offer Jimmy | Britt and Terry McGovern a $30,000) guarantee for a championship bout in Goldiield.
