This is the only autobiography of Tex Rickard. it was prepared ez- clusively for The Star and the North American Newspaper Alliance. Fol- lowing is the thiriy-second install- ment of the autobiography which is appearing in daily chapters. BY TEX RICKARD. (In collaboration with Bozeman Bulger.) "N\ HE greatest thrill I have had in my life was that round at the New York Polo Grounds’ fight when knockdowns between Dempsey and Firpo were so fre- quent thet nobody was able to count them. 5 And the greatest thrill of all was when the big, hairy-chested South American actually knocked the Ameri- can champion out of the ring, clear of the ropes and into the laps of news- paper men who were trying to describe over the wires what was going on. This thrill was even greater than the sigh of satisfaction when Dempsey finally floored the Argentine giant and saved the championship. ‘When the knockout came the inten- sity of the excitement had slightly sub- sided. To this day I doubt if anybody knows just how many knockdowns were scorcd. For the newspaper men—even | the coolest and most expert—to give a clear account of that battle as it pro- gressed was almost impossible. Never yet have I found a boxing en- . thusiast who did not say that was the greatest thrill of his life as a fight fan. The whole thing burst on the fans be- fore they were prepared for it. Instead of trying each other out, proceeding cautiously, these two men waded into each like cave men swinging stone axes. There was no fine art, no entertaining exhibition of skill. It was sock, sock, sock, and devil take the hindmost! I had expected Firpo to put up a bet- ter fight than many athers predicted. I never dreamed of anything like that, though. All Lost Bearings. I know very well that I completely Jost my bearings. Thrills came so hard and fast that there was no time for enalysis. Right near me sat a veteran fight reporter. For an hour he had been pecking away on a small, portable typewriter. Suddenly - there came a knockdown., The fighter got up, and swinging from his shoestrings, flattened his opponent. 'Again and again this was repeated. Some say there were seven distinct knockdowns, Other u‘y more and others say less. I am of the opinion that nobody knows. As if raised by some forced beneath up the whole crowd was suddenly lifted to its feet” Two men landed on the somewhat rickety table, on_ which the i -typewriter. In a second the typewriter, bent and twisted, was huried across the benches and beneath the ring. Men were walking on each others heads and shoulders. The seconds were yelling and howling. In what is the regular press box of the Polo Grounds, we had seated a number of the extra’ newspaper ‘men— writers for whom -there was no space immediately a; the ringside. I hap- ce over that way. this wild excitement I had to laugh. -Dozeng ©f newspaper men—Tfellows who seldom show excitement—had climbed up this wire screen, By their fingers they were nging -and scratching trying to ‘get heavyweight and with which he si THE SPO 5 Ring Speed.

He had no chance at all. It was a.great affair,” he told me afterward, “but I never did see any part of the fight. When the big excitement started, people crawled all over me. With my lame leg I couldn't compete with them. -I simply sat there,- help- ing to hold up the boys who had gone cuckoo. I always will regret not hav- ing seen that fight.” Jack Socked From RBing. There are some-who insist to this day that Dempsey was hed out of the ring. ..Others u'yn was hit a terrific blow that actually lifted him off his feet and over the ropes, I am in- clined ta ltan to the latter opinion, y after ‘my - talk with Jack Dempsey. ‘There is no doubt about Dempsey having been hit. . For years to come I 5u] the argu- ment will continue whe w got back into the ring or whether he was assisted by newspaper men into whose laps he had fallen. The Firpo adherents say that Dempsey should have been disqualified because he didn't get back into the ring with- out assistance. I give it up. I don’t know. What's more I don’t think any- body else knows. *I do’know that Demp- sey scrambled back- and immediately started socking again. Dempsey him- self has no clear idea how he got back. To him the rest of the fight was a blur, perhaps even the victory, I have not Dempsey’s word for it— that he did not know he had won the fight until told about it in the dressing room—but I understand that a news- aper man was Jmsem when one of empsey's seconds remarked, patting the champion on the back: “Boy, that was a fight!” The dazed champion is said to have asked his second, “Who won?” Dempsey Didn't Know. According to the story, Dempsey had e kind of half-conscious feeling that the champlonship was slipping away #s he took that header out of the Ting. It is said that he fought instinctively and that he was still uncertain about things when' it was all over. Th's I regard as the best evidence in th4 world that Jack Dempsey was the greatest fighting man of his size history has ever known. Not only is he a clever fighter, but he is an in- ! stinctive fighter. Even with his mind in a blur he goes right on through the mechanical motions. He. is a fighter at heart. Dempsey knows no such thing as being licked as long as he can move his arms and legs. Yes, the thrill of the Pirpo-Dempsey fight will last me as long as I live. 1 never expect to see anything again like that scene at the Polo Grounds that Summer night.

His name is still James J. Corbett. An old- time camp follower on the Clouting Ex- change, now in Florida, rates the Cor- bett who fought Mitchell as the speed peak of all the heavyweights. “He was much faster against Mitchell at Jack- sonville than h2 was against John L. at. New Orleans,” says the old-timer. “Mitchell was fast—far faster than Sul- livan even in his' younger years—but Corbett caught him and bewildered him for a few seconds, - Jim was like a streak at that time, just 28 years old, and he made the quick-footed English- man look slow. Corbett used his speed for attack in that fight, not for defense. If Shirkey and Stribling use their speed’ it the same fashion the crowd at Miami-Beach will see all the action any ‘one wants. If they use it mainly in defense or break it up with clinch- ing, that will be another story. Neither is a Corbett, but they are two fast heavyweights, the two fastest now in the game when it comes to foot speed and hand speed hooked together.” Ruth and the Yankees. Babe Ruth has run across the tough- est Winter of his career, and if the mental effect of all his troubles takes away part of his old keenness it will give Connie Mack the best shot he has had at the American League pennant in 15 years. His love of base ball and the roar ‘of the crowd may soon steam up the Babe again, but he is no longer a kid and the rap that fate dealt him lately won't help any to speak of. Ruth's hustling keenness has been a big factor in Yankee success, apart from his ability to bat and in the fleld. He has been out to win ever since he took his first cut at a fast one and he will be out to win again, but just how much of the old flame will be missing is something that only the campaign can show. Even with Ruth at his best the Yankees will need all they can carry {to beat Mack's club with the pitching he will be able to throw against all opposition. The Yankees can hardly expect to keep the Athletic goats teth- ered and bleating so far from home and friends. “Why is it,” asks F. J., “that on certain days I can’t hit any kind of a golf shot and on other days I am even worse?” Because 99 per cent of all golfers are practically in the same. sector. The Star Horseman. “The Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, with their speed and grace, brought romance to the gridiron,” writes Buck- eye Bell, “but there is more romance to the career of Don Miller than almost any player to star on the ‘gridiron in many years.” Don and his brother Gerald, last of the five Miller brothers, entered Notre Dame together. At that time Gerry, weighing 133, was much preferred to Don, who weighed 144.

After one particularly good run, “Hunk” Anderson, head freshmen coach, shout- ed to Gagen, his assistant: < - “Who was that?” Gagen replied: “Miller!” Don, sitting on the bench, thought he was being called and dashed onto the field, For some reason he was allowed to remain and sent to a halfback's posi- tion. On the next play he stepped 10 yards, then made a beautiful block for his brother on an end run. Don then ran 10 yards off tackle and then 30 for 2’ touchdown. S Over came Knute Rockne, bouncing and bubbling. “Who is. that guy?” he demanded of Anderson. “Just a Miller, We've been saving him for & surprise,” replied the startled An- derson, winking at Gagen, So Don made the main freshman team.

Len Kocent, winner of many alley engagements, and Tom Harrison, who has rolled a 184 ame to set the pace for Maryland wlers, are to team against George L. Isemann, secretary of the National Duckpin Bowling Congress, and Al Pischer, his regular partner in pinning. Kocent and Harrison hold a nine-pin advantage, gained on their home drives, due fact that Kocent started the hostilitles with a 641 set. Isemann rlthered 153 and Fischer 132 in their ast game to make things more jnter- esting. This match is one of a series ar- nnied by Isemann. These doubles and singles duels have carried Fischer and him into various sections of the East in the interest of the N. D. B. C. As a result, many teams will be in competi- tion at Richmond next month from sections never before represented.

Washington will be well represented at Richmond. Some 50 teams are ex- pected to compete from this city, Fed- eral League will be one of the best rep- resented loops, with seven teams in line, Arrangement of a schedule will bs undertaken next week. Practically every entrant is requesting a Saturday date, according to the secretary, and only a limited number of these requests can be cared for. One local team that is likely to be heard from in competition at Richmond is the Government Printing Office five, composed of Charles H. Homer, Leland Brown, Charles E. Barnard, William Lawrence and Charles L. Nay. Thess men are to shoot singles and doubles also, Lawrence has thrice to{)ped the 400 mark in league competition this year. % George C.

The number of entries sur- passed the highest expectations of the sponsors of the event, which is being revived this year after being relegated to the discard for seven years. Among the late entrants were Henry Tait Rodier of the Bulletin, who played a prominent role in establishing the small-pin Tnme as one of Washington's most popular sports, and John A. Fer- rall of Agriculture League, originator of “The Old-timer and The Kid"” yarns of the alleys, Rodier forwarded his entry from Florida, where, he says, he is having a round of golf with Clark Griffith every day. “I haven't bowled for four weeks,” Rodier wired, “but I am still good enough to beat Johnny Baum and Dave McCarty and those other duckpin stars of news{mper ranks.” Rodler is one of four Bulletin representatives entered. A schedule is being drafted by the committee, which is headed by John P. Evans, Four shifts will roll next week, according to present plans. Night em- plofes will qualify Monday afternoon. A large number of the day em¥luyes will roll their qualifying set of five games Monday night. Six route agents of The Star and 15 entrants from the United States Daily will roll Tuesday night and the remainder of the day employes will shoot Wednesday night. Each contestant will shoot five games next week, Total pinfall for this set will determine which shall comprise the championship flight and which shall seek the consolation prizes. Half of the field will constitute the upper half and the low scorers will comprise the lower half, Eliminations will start the following week. An opportunity te hang up a new 10-game team record presents itself be- fore Convention Hall's powerful five Friday night, when Cleaver’s All-Stars of Baltimore appear at' Convention Hall for the concluding five-game block of their intercity match. Two weeks ago the Convention Hall high explosives collected 3,016 pins in the opening block to take a command- ing lead. Their last four games passed the 600 mark. By approaching this mark on their home drives a new 10- game set record can be produced. Conn., which finished sixth last year, is carded to seek higher honors. These teams will meet at 8 o'clock.

SAND IS NOT SATISFIED WITH ROCHESTER OFFER ran out the match |4 DOWN THE LINE y W. O. McGEEHAN Blah-Blah Time in Florida. EWS of the preparations for the Mystery of Miami Beach becomes scarcer and duller. Col. Carter.Latimer, the Southern representative of this column, who has promised to keep me informed as to developments, if any, has been silent for a week. This morning he comes through with the 'following misinformation which seems entirely irrelevant and immaterial: “The ‘Massacre of Miami,’ ‘The Brawl of Biscayne Bay,’ ‘The Farce of Flamingo,’ or what have the alert agents of illiterate alliterations to describe the forthcoming fight between Stribling and Sharkey, has reached the type of importance where the principal actors in the sporting event feel the urge to do their own personal writing for such newspapers as care to enlist the service of syndicates handling their manuscripts. Forestalling possible mistakes by the literary cult, Stribling and Sharkey are turning out a plain and fancy assortment of superlatives over their own signatures. Of course, no one would suspect that some hired help manufactures the yarns and Stribling and Sharkey merely touch the pen in making their cross-marks. “It will be remembered that Babe Ruth, who is a mest prolific writer not to be actively connected with a newspaper, once created a sensation “by writing storles for the press while he lay quite moribund, if not un- conscious, in a New York hespital. That is, stories under or over his signa- ture appeared in periodicals of a daily and weekly nature while he was ailing with what you were pained to term the world’s most famous case of stomach ache. I hope that neither Stribling nor Sharkey will have to produce their artistic brand of penmanship under such physical handicaps. “When a prize fighter turns professional by assuming the dual position of penman and pugilist there is every reason to suspect that his approaching con- test in the ring will amount to something. H2: has gained enough prestige to influence a syndicate to peddle his typewriiten wares at so much a word, when, as & matter of value, it may not be worth half as much as so many cents a pound of printed pulp. But with Willlam Lawrence Stribling there’s a difference. “Young Mr, Stribling toted a school satchel while he was making his way with right and left puncnes on raflroad tickets in this world of ours, and he probably has more qualifications to turn up a terrace of type than some of the crayon eult that surge around his training quarters. As for Mr. Sharkey, I have not been informed or his ability to swing uppercuts into the jaw of a typewriter. However, Mr, Sharkey wig-wags a wicked canned tongue from a pair of healthy lungs, and he may be able to write more freely than he talks. “Jack Dempsey has been spilling thousands of words under his own by-lines and, while he admitted about a year ago in a court trial that he was not the actual typist of these articles, the stories ‘By Jack Dempsey’ have continued to absorb more or less valuable printer’s ink. You might say his articles were very absorbing. You see no reason why Stribling and Sharkey should not make their debut as budding {:uml.ms. They can at least help to steam up the thermometer for the Fi fight. “Mrs, ‘Ma’ Stribling wants her eldest son to do his writing with a clear mind over home-cooked biscuits. She's determined that he shall not be handi- capped with the pen as was Babe Ruth when he was laid low on a hospital cot because of indigestible hot dogs, According to a press agent's slant on the do- mestic sciences of Mrs. Stribling, she is very much concerned about the diet of W.

Her part in the family preparations for the fight is the head of the food department for her battling offspring who is casting covetous eyes on the world heavyweight championship. ¥ Literature and Indigestion. 66\ [RS. JACK BHARKEY accompanied her husband to Miami, too, and we 4 sorter suspect that she is the chief cook in Jack’s culinary rtment. She perhaps doesn't want indigestion to interfere with her hubby’s writing. Be- cause of the interest that Mrs. Stribling and Mrs. Sharkey are manifesting in the kitchen, I am inclined to believe that this fight may turn out to be a battle of dietarians rather demons. to the press agent, Mrs. Stribling doesn’t prepare all of W. L.'s every bit of it being cooked. Bhe goes to market every day with basket under arm. She’s determined no ‘poison plots’ can figure in the fight. It will be remembered that a favorite rumor after the defeat of a fighter is that his coffee was polluted or his food was contaminated. “After Wy lest the championship to Tunney in Philadeiphia somebody sta the world with the al that three lumps of brown sugar, instead of the customary two loaves of granulated swe , were dumped into his mustache cup the night before the big bout.

T geems that Mr. Jack Dempsey, the promoter of the Mistake of Miami Beach, plans to re-enter the caulifiower industry immediately after the t. Evi- dently it is Mr. Dempsey's idea to meet the winner of the Muddle of and if he wins, reclaims the he: maflmc championship, which was washed away from him in the downpour at Battle of the Sesquicentennial. ,But then there is Herr Max Schmeling. 1t is hardly probable that the 1 customers would recognize Mr. Dempsey until he flattened Herr Schmeling, and this is no easy matter. I doubt if the tlemen on the committee for the presentation of the Muldoon-Tunney Trophy would slip the prize to Dempsey and utterly ignore the Schmeling person. Mr. Dempsey uggmt when he wins back the championship he will tour the world and make final clean-up giving exhibitions. Mr. James J. Corbett, after he became an ex-champion, had the same idea.
