Freshmen rowing will also be start- ed carly this week, to their championship crowns may be disputed, but Tex Rickard, New York, promoter, iy willing to concede them al! as the best champions the world has ever seen—at “ducking bouts.” Rickard, who, as the manager of Madison Square garden, has become the foremost of American promoters, has found it almost imponsible to in- duce any of the champions outside of Jack Dempuey, the heavyweight king, to get in the ring for a do cision bout. figits In New York under the new boxing bill, but the champions have suddenly become deaf,” he said. “I have written numerons letters to Johnny Kilbane, and he has ig nored them.

He has two plans in mind—one thru the pro. visions of the Walker bill and the other by taking the radical stand that they are no longer champions and offering a club belt of his own to the winner of an elimination series among the contenders.
