This is the only autobiography written by Ter_ Rickard. It was prepared _in collaboration with “Bozeman Bulger, for publication ex- Clusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. Shortly before Rickard’s death he discussed with Bulger plans for pub- licgtion _of these memoirs in book dorm. Following is the twenty-first installment of the autobiography, which is appearing in daily chapters. . BY TEX RICKARD €In Collaboration with Bozeman Bulger.) Y first venture into New York with a fight was the staging of the Jess Willard and Frank Moran affair at Madison Square Garden. ‘The scrap was looked forward to with considerable interest, but it was not re- garded as a real big fistic event. Fights were limited to 10 rounds and no de- cision could be given. In other words, a championship fight could not well be decided in Madison Square Garden. Of course, if ont man knocked the other out within 10 rounds the decision was obvious. The referee, however, could not announce the winner of a fight on points. Contrary to the belief of many I had mo connection with the Willard-John- son fight, in which Willard became champion. At that time I was busy Wwith my mining and other business in- terests out in Nevada. Also I had under consideration the operation of & big cattle ranch down in South America. Frank Moran had gained 3 lot of Pprominence and many believed that he would eventually win the heavyweight championship from Willard. . 'was 50 much talk of this that I saw the drift of public interest. I decided to try my hand again. - My leasing of Madison Square Gar- den for this affair may give you a fair lea of what it costs to put on a fight. Fight Did Not Net Much.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, January 31— Leading . professional . golfers of the ; | Nation came tramping into ‘Dixie today ing | to honor and pride, but there was no sen- timent in him about the prize ring. Willard Didn’t Like Game. = He describes that best in a letter to friend, which I think worth quoting. ¥ “1 never could fight, never wanted to become a boxer -nhg nevg caradm for game,” he wrote. m-y,w.anammnumz “1 always felt that I wasn’t built for s Iad any money. I knew that I was big fellow and powerfully strong. I jusf sat down and figured that a man as 2s me ought to be able to cash in on size. That is what started me on road to boxing. but there was money in it. I needed ‘the money and decided to go after it. “I never really knew how to fight. ‘do anything to the other fellow in the way of real damage. I llm?‘y couldn’t do it. Harming the other fellow seemed to me to be cruel and so long as the other fellow didn’t harm me much I couldn't see any reason why I should hurt him. “I never hurt any of my opponents before the elghth round, because not one of them was able to hurt me much before the eighth round, and when they did hurt me I got real mad and just swung on them and settled matters as quickly as I could. But even then I didn’t like this boxing business. It was the dough I liked and I went after all I could get.” Underestimated Dempsey. From another letter I clip this pas- sage, which is a little ahead of my story, but it seems to fit here: 3 “I didn't think this fellow Dempsey ‘was as good as he proved himself to be. ©Oh, take it from me, that guy is someé fighter. Say, he sunk his fist three Inches into my belly. He just burned that fist of his into my stomach. I never had anything like that happen to me before. Yet there are some whd say I quit” Jess Willard was quite a writer of letters. I intend to quote from one of them in my narrative of the big fight at Toledo. There isn't room here and, besides, it is not the proper place. When I had closed up everything connected with _the Willard-Moran fight at Madison Square Garden I was through with the game for awhile.| ¢ "ay Some months later I went to South America and began the operation of my big cattle ranch. I went back to New |, York occasionally, but didn't stay long enough to get into the fight game. The ‘war was on and there was not much opportunity. But while on the ranch I was rapidly gathering an idea. (Copyrisht, 1929 by North American News- aper Alliance.)

GOLF, KNOWN AS KOLVEN, PLAYED IN 15TH CENTURY By the Associated Press. ‘There are in existence old prints which show that kolven, as golf was originally called, was a popular pastime in Holland 500 years ago, and Dutch claim it was they who intro- duced the ¢éroyal and ancient game” into Scotland, where Mary Queen of Scots became an adept.

A year ago Risko, with decisions over Jack Sharkey, Paulino Uzcudun and George Godfrey, was considered.in the top ranks of heavyweights. Since then he has slipped back considerably, losing recently to Jimmy Maloney and Ernie Schaaf, but he has yet to become the victim of a knockout and a knockout is just what Max is going .after. Schmeling figures that he can make sure of his position *among the real contenders by dropping the Cleveland baker boy, while a decision may or may not get him anywhere. Max started his American career a few months ago by knocking out Joe although he failed to put the Dayton boy away. Tomorrow's battle is the make or break affair for Max.
