SPORTS. Rickard Made Money on Dempsey-Willard Go: Loughran Gets Heavy Test Tonight CLEARED $50,000 ~ ON SMALL CROWD Jess Greatly Humiliated by Accusations of Quitting, Tex Declares. This is the only autobiography written by Tez Rickard. It was pre- red in collaboration with Bozeman ulger, for publication exclusively Jor The Evening Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. Short- ly before Rickard’s death he dis- cussed with Bulger plans for pub- lication of these memoirs in book form. Following is the twenty-fifth installment of the autobiography, which is appearing in daily chapters. BY TEX RICKARD. (In collaboration with Bozeman Bulger.) HEN we had checked up on the famous Toledo fight be- tween Willard and Dempsey and while the country was still talking aboui the new champion, I found I had made about $50,000 déspite the small attendance. That is not much when you consider the immense amount of money I had at stake, or ra her that I had invested. I| had paid out $120,000 for the arena | and had paid the fighters $127,500. The | expense on top of that was enormous. We took in $452,000. When every- thing had been paid my profi's were close to $50,000. This would show that I had at stake $400,000. For an affair of that kind a promoter expects to make more than 25 per cent or it wouldn't be worth the risk. You will see that my profits were in the neighborhood of 12 per cent. Jess Willard knew very well the sto- | rics going around about his having quit. He never said a word, though. The terrible beating he received and the un- | just eries of quitting that went around the sporting circles completely unnerved him. He stayed away from reporters and went into seclusion. He wanted only the company of his family. | Willard's Feelings Hurt. | I know that Willard suffered much more humiliation than the public ever understood. In his seclusion he longed for a chance to get back at Dempsey, not so much to regain the champion- ship as to wipe out the sting of the for- mer’s defeat. He never liked the fight game and candidly said so. After a long rest Willard quietly went into training with the idea of making Dempsey suffer the same humiliation {that he had suffered. He consulted his friends. All of them were against his ing through with such a plan. Even t didn't stop him. He came East to see me. Late in 1921, I believe it was, he met me in New York. I knew then just how much 1o heart he had taken that defeat. He wanted reve, nge. . I took the matter up with Dempsey and Kearns. There was corisiderable talk and dickering, but the upshot was a belief that the public would not be interested in a return contest. This hurt ‘Willard very much. Here is what he wrote in a letter to an intimate friend. It will give a clearer idea of his mental workings and it to do away with that talk about his not being game: Jess Dacides to Quit. “Until a few menths I had a no- gnlwolg.mnnne u&m hywamn that 1 could wux for the manner.ip which he -me i Toledo, but mow I'm through for desire 14 Te- ‘was on, Dempsay erashed his powerful fist against my jaw and I was flat on my back. I was down before I ever got started, and that ‘was something new for me, I was simply dumbfounded, didn’t know what had happened. I never saw-anything like that before. ‘That De 'y is some fighter; don't let anybody kid you. He sank his fist three inches into my belly. It burned into my stomach. .And still there are some who say I quit. Sees Chance for Revenge. “Well, there is one thing, and.onl jone, I wanted very badly, and that wag to get another crack at Jack. I'd know betier the next time. He couldn't work that hurry-up gag on me . All I wanted to do was hand mmwme of tronge) ’!er. I feel that if ever we meet agal would knock that guy's block off or ‘he'd knock mine off, and that before he did that he would take a lot out of the ring with him that he wasn't look- ing for. Yes, he would have something to remember me by and know how I| felt after that Toledo affair.” Willard stayed lwa{e{mm fights for | & long time. When came back in | 1928 1 am sure that he still had that spirit of revenge, that he still smarted under the former talk of having been a quitter. But the time had passed. He icould not do it. He did lick that fellow | uF at the Yankee Stadium on the day of the milk fund fight, but when he | went against Firpo. the South American | ‘was too strong for him. | And then to make matters worse for | the unhappy Jess, there were some who said that he quit to Fifpo. Knowing the man as I do, though, I do not believe it. I think he did the very best he | i could. ‘That Toledo fight out of the way, I| took up the matter of promotion as a profession. For a long time I had my mind on Madison Square Garden. I knew that New York was the largest fighting center of the country. In the mean time the Walker law had been passed in New York, which permitted fights to a finish and a referee authorized to give decisions. .

The place had never been 2 paying proposition and the owners of the property and the mortgage holders to keep it going at a loss. Thet gave us the chance. With my associates I succeeded in getting a lease on the garden. From the moment I established my headquarters in Madison Square Garden 1 devoted all my time and energy to promoting boxing and other sporting events. What it costs to operate the Garden might be interesting. I will attempt to make it clear. (Next — Why Women Make Best Judges of a Fight.)

A dour old Scot, famed ' for his putting, once turned to another who was sinking them from all parts of the green in a money putting match and remarked, “If ye had tae keep a wife an’ six bairns ye widua putt like that.” This pretty well ex- presses the reason why so mapy of us fall down on the greens. Pres- sure of one kind or another ruins our putting stroke. Take Chick Evans, as an exam- ple. Chick has gene through every stage in the putting game—change of form, change of clubs, change of grip. He has been known in the past to use three different putters in a round. *'Not until Chick hit n his center-shafted contraption id he find his game on the greens. Bobby Jones had somewhat the same rience in arriving at his present form. He admits that it is his style now, but that it may some day be changed. In short, there is little in common among putters.

NOT FLY, AT CAMP Road Work, Not Aviation, to Be Pursued—Sharkey Has Date at Tampa. By the Associated Press. IAMI BEACH, Fla., February 5. —Young Stribling does not expect to fly today, nor to- morrow, nor any other day until he has kept his February 27 fistic engagement with Jack Sharkey in Flamingo Arena. Promoter Jack Dempsey is deter- mined that flying shall have no place on the conditioning program of the Macon boxer-aviator. He is so deter- mined that he has stopped asking the Georgian to stay on the ground, and has filed injunction proceedings to keep Stribling out of the air. Young Stribling purchased an air- plane several years ago, and has hopped about the country in it for his vlrlous: matches. | Stribling today was prepared for his | usual 2; miles of road work, while his | opponent expected to put in a hard | round of posing for camera men. Sharkey has been invited to go through an exhibition with his sparring partners in Tampa Friday night and Dempsey may accompany him to the west coast city.

Dempsey has advised Pa Stribling and Johnny Buckley, man- agers of the principals, that if no selec- tion has been made a week before the Among those already mentioned for the job are Dave Miller and Walter Eckersall, Chicago; Ed Dickerson, Grand Rapids, Mich.; Tom Reilly, Philadel- phia; Lou Magnolia and Jack O'Sul- livan, New York; Max Hinkle, Cleve- land; Slim McClelland, Detroit, and two unnamed Massachusetts referees.

Most experts say the per- feetly hit approach should fade to the right. I contend that a suggestion of & hook is just as practical and indica- tive of a truly hit shot. After a many years of competitive golf, and having made thousands of approaches I am firmly set on this theory of mine, In playing the shot the left hand should be })ned control, with the right lightly gripped. 3 "They approach I enjoyed most was my one of my own. You'll pardon me_for | o dragging it in, but it really was a peach. It was made in the third round of the New Jersey open championship, which I won with three rounds under 70 over the White Beeches course at Haworth. Beginning the third round I was lead- ing by four strokes, and that's a_com- fortable position for any one to be in, even though it is something of a strain to lead the fleld. I came to the ninth hole needing a 4 for a 36, which meant I had lost one or two strokes to the fast flyers behind me. That made me a little less comfortable and my position a bit precarious unless I stiffened up. | The ninth is an elbow hole, 365 yards | ang, with a zlrxene mz::lin: El‘o direct line the green possible. open up a hole for the second shot I deliberate- ly placed my drive in the rough, which was short and almost as good as the fairway. 1 From there I holed a niblick shot for an eagle 2 that gave me a 34 and I| was on easy street thereafter.

C, February 5.—Base ball's supreme court gat here today to decide whether a contract with a major league team or one with & minor nine shall prevail. The prize to be awarded is “Chink” Outen, former North Carolina State College catcher, who pulled the un- usual procedure of signing two con- tracts. The New York American team and the Charlotte South Atlantic As- sociation club are the contestants, with Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis, com- missioner of base ball, as the judge. ‘The hearing is being held here on call of Judge Landis, who decided to settle th qustion whil on a visit to W. G. Bramham, president of the South Atlantic, Virginia and East Carolina agues. The Charlotte Club claims that Outen signed a contract with that organization before leaving college and later signed up with the Yankees. The Yankees apparently recognized the Charlott elaim, for they bought Outen'’s contract from the Bees. This it was felt would settle tthe question, but Judge Landis felt that an investigation should be held. FEE R LEWIS THROWS MocMILLEN.

T saddens one to note that chicanery is creeping into sports which once were purer than the late Mrs. Caius Julius Caesar, a popular Roman matron of a few centuries ago. Mr. Frank Dole, the kennel editor, on occasions when base ball, prizefighting and wrestling were touched with the slimy tentacles—or what do you call them?—of .scandal, was wont to hold up the dog show game as being strictly on the. level. But only the other day at Baltimore it was revealed that the dog show game in spots is merely a racket after all. It seems that they took an inno- cent_fox-terrier bitch, ‘which might have taken first prize, anyhow, and doc- tored her eyes to make sure. I do not know whether there was betting on }‘heb Mwl:‘e or not, but at any rate somebody meant that animal to take the rst prize. Being unversed in such maiters, I do not know how they doctored her eyes. I suppose that they did to them whatever Greta Garbo, Dolores Del Rio and the other girls at Hollywood do to their eyes. Perhaps they fixed them up with vaseline tears in order that the bitch might have a sad and pensive look that would appeal to the judges of the show. At any rate, a veterinarian called in by one of the uuxiclous Jjudges gave it as his opinion that the bitch's eyes had been tampere with. it being the «case, I do not see how Mr. Frank Dole can. continue to be asso- ciated with such a racket, They may do things at the race track; they may manipulate the manly art of modified murder and on occasion they may juggle the pachyderms of the wrestling game. But they would not doctor the.eyes of a fox-terrier bitch. And this, to my knowledge, is not the first time that the dog game has boys say. About a year or s0 been the target for the finger of suspicion, as the ago they were judging some Kerry Blue terriers. One of them had a remarkably beautifully colored coat. But a judge became suspicious. He took a little kero- sine-saturated sponge and applied it to the coat.
