EW YORK, December 22—Tex Rickard held his hands aloit m his N office in Madison Square Garden today and swore that if he had ever done anything to Benny Leonard that would justify the cham- pion in his determination not to fight for the big promoter, he does not 1 know what it is. New York papers recently have been filled with state- { ments by Leonard’s manager, Billy Gibson, concerning his attitude toward ‘Rickard. One would gather that Rickard had murdered Gibson's grandmother, had set Gibson's ancestral home on fire and had sicked Gibson onto the wrong horge at New Orleans. - Over in Jersey City the other day Gibson i alleged to have given at least one of ‘the reasons for Leonard's enmity Le i | toward Rickard, Gibson is alleged to | 129 to do to prove me wrong is t have said that Rickard had been | 38Tee (o fighy at the limit fof hi icnicaihi Loonard: to-some: or it e sat Ll Siceinmorsmensy [ s o SE — wealthy members of Leonard's own | i oy lowers of pugiiism AN WHEN C04 HAULIN' (04 A TARPON race in New York. e T h ke e ia Tot of eoin on CLL THINK OF YOU UP HERE SToKIN -~ SNavs He s Great Fighter. bouts. is nothing doing 3 vere he meet Leonard at VOuR FURNACE AN’ SHOVELIN A PATH < | “It Gibson said that” declared “as 1 am concerned in letting lightweight ot 3 FEET OF Seow To T !

If any team journeys out to the Pacific coast under the impression that Andy Smith’s California champions rely upon the forward pass as their main weapon of attack, they are going to be a very much surprised team before the'end of the first period. .
