The only problem confionting those in terested in the affairs of this super sporting institution is fo persuads “Bill” to accept the post. | To do so will involve considerable sacrifice on Carey's part—hoth from, the point of business and pleasur —but the fun he had in putting over the recent Sharkey-Siriblir fight at Miami Beach still &0 fresh in “Bill's” mind that he may be persuaded to spare at least part of his time in the interests of the big sports arc One week from toda papermen who werc Vs guests at Miami Beach will tender him a dinner and try to tell him how much they would like to him on at the Garden The question of whether anvone could ever fill Tex Rickard's shoes arose immediately after the death of the master showman, What happened recently at Miami Beach proved that there wore bet- ter men than Rickard interested in the affairs of Madison Square Gar- den. Tex was a genjus fn his own way. | but he lacked the necessary sound business scnse to conduct the af- fairg of an organization like the Gard n. 1t is no longer a secret that had Rickard lived for another year. he prolably would have severed his connection with the “600 million aires” and would have devoted his time to his other inte Flor- ida. “Bill" Carey entered info the pic ture after Rickard's death. Before that time, “Bill” and Tex had heen at logger-heads, and it was with | dificulty that Carey was persuaded to retain any connection with Madi- son S Garden 31" was all for sclling out and washing his hands of the entire af- fair. | When Tex ing business devolved upon Carey. Tt was “Bill'* who went to Boston with Jack Dempscy o negotiate for the serv. ices of Jack Sharkey in conncetion with the Stribling fight at Miami Beach. Moreove was “Bill" who persnaded “Dic! Hoyt and the| other heads of the Garden corpora- tion to agree to stand for a possible $100.000 loss in order to save their faces and prevent anyone from say- ing that without Tex Rickard, the Garden could not promote impor. tant fights, At Miami Beach. “Bill" Carcy put over the fight and a poor fight turned out to be—in hefter shape than Tex Rickard ever could b hoped to. Tt Rickard had lived had gone through with the Shs Stribling affair, that $100,000 might have heen paid. The combination of Carcy and Dempsey overcame all obstacles and the Madison Square Garden cornora- tion netted abont $30.008 profit the affair—$20,000 of which to Dempsey for his cfforts. the news Car have carry ests in died, the irs of more press- the Garden it Ve nd loss on went There are 90.000 tiembers of the American Medical association. | second ba t C2H.5, 1929, PAST This is a different and younger Walter Johnson from the one that will ianage the Washington Senators this season.
