TEX PASSES UP

Nevada'S Only Real Fight Pro-
moter Wants Nothing
But the Best.
Special to The Herald.l


Ely. New, April 9.-''If Cans holds out
and insists that purse of $4,000 be
raised to induce him to meet Harry Lew
is, I do not believe they will come to-
gether'
So said Tex Rickard, fight promoter,
when shown an Associated Press dis
patch announcing that Cans and Lewis
had signed for a mill to take place within
three months for a purse of $40 600.
Il do not believe that the fight would
be worth such a purse said the man
who has offered $4,000 to have Cans and
Battling Nelson meet at Ely, July 4. 1T
is certain that L will make no effort to
get these men at that figure. 1 will not
bid for this fight. The money for this
purse has not been raised. according to
this dispatch, though 5000 has been
posted.
I do not want to be considered as a
knOcker. but it looks to me as though
this would be bundle of easy money for
the black.
''Of course if this fight is go, the
match between Cans and Nelson for Ely
on July 4 is off. l have said all that is
worth while for me to say concerning the
proposed match Money talks, and my
$4,000 is waiting in the bank for Cans
and the Battler if they want it, Cans
surely wants it. Nelson is still holding
off though l have not yet given up hope
that ! can get the men here. I am
waiting for word from Nolan to the eff
feet that my offer for the fight is ac-
cepted. ] will not give up the idea of
having this fight here, though 1 will
make no further Overtures to the men.
If they want my mOneyVand it's good
money-all they have to do is TO come
here and get it.
