TEX RICHARDS CAREER.
Promoter and Referee Of Big Fight an
Interesting Character,

Few characters In professional sports
are more interesting than Tex Rick
ard, one Of the promoters and the man
who will referee the fight between Jeff
and Johnson. Richard is q gambler
and is a home man too. He never
plays for small stakes when he has the
cash for big ones And he has the
knack Of always bobbing up with coin
when some discerning critic has as
signed him to poverty.
In referring 10 him as a gambler one
Is not betraying a confidence. Richard
is not ashamed OF IT, He declared once
that the only men who did not gamble
were those who had departed or were
ready to take the last flight Of hurdles
in LIES course. He has operated from
Texas to Alaska and stopped OF at
many points on the way A few years
ago he had a gambling house In Nome,
Alaska, beginning with the gamblers
proverbial "shoestring and coming out
with a tannery." Then he headed for
Goldheld where there was mining

man behind the Cans Nelson fight.

WHICH WINS, SPEED OR HEAD?
Cobb and Wagner ExpOnents of Diff
ferent StyIes-Both Successful.

ferent StyIss-Both Successful.
According to the leading backstops
Of the major leagues, it is a question
as TO which is the greater base stealer,
the man who can outguess a catcher
or the man who can outspeed one.
Hans Wagner of Pittsburg and Ty
Cobb of Detroit furnish excellent ex-
amples of these two distinct types Of
base runners. They are the masters
Of their respective styles.
More than half Of the time Cobb will
take a catcher by surprise, and his
speed is so great that the most perfect
throw IN the world will not catch him.
On the other hand, Wagner simply
tries to outguess the catcher, and he
does IL on nearly every trial. The big
Dutchman glides along the ground at
fast clip. and he slides so accurately
that perfect throw viii miss him 20
per cent Of the time He uses his head
entirely, while Cobb depends on his
wonderful speed.
Cobb is of the nervous. fidgety va
riety of players, and he gallops away
like deer that has been jumped from
brush pile. The young Georgian pays
little attention TO the catcher. He
simply makes up his mind when he is
going to start. and he does not care
whether the catcher knows IL or not
He has absolute confidence in his
speed and that wonderful, lightning
like slide that has put so many base
men out of business.
Cobb stole a great many more bases
last season than did Wagner, but IL
was because he took a great many
more chances. He was also in a great
many more games.
'But one thing you want to bear in
bind" says Catcher Archer OF Chica-
go-"Wagner stole the bases when they
counted Unless Ii was important to
the game at the time the Dptchman
would not start. Cobb viii start any
time just for the pure deviltry Of it
He likes to see If he can beat the
catchers throw. He figures that with
good start he can beat anybody
throw to a base. and he is pretty
nearly right.
"Still," continued Archer, Il fear

shown managerial ability. Jack Doyle
was another who proved himself a
leader.
The Cleveland team also furnished
its share. Patsy Tebeau rose from the
ranks George Davis, who was one of
his helpers. has managed with success
in the majors, Chief thinner also had
trial Ed Mexican was a successful
minor league manager when his major
league days were over. Jimmy Nc
Aleer has held the reins of a ball team
in hand for eight years, and Jack
O'Connor, another OF the old Cleve-
lands, is having his first trial this
year at st. Louis.
It gives a fairly good idea Of the
strength Of these old teams when most
OF the players on them have shown
themselves clever enough to be real
leaders IN these days of up to dass
baseball.
There is no doubt that baseball has
advanced but questionable whether
the players Of today are az a class as
intelligent IS they were in those days.
