TEX RICHARD, the man who Is
now being held responsible for the
downfall OF Les Darcy. was at one
time In the saloon business In Sc
attic. II was not here. however,
that he Got bis introduction TO the
boxing game.
Richard got his first hand knowl-
edge OF putting on a bout in the
gala days of the Alaskan gold rush.
At that time Tex was In the sa-
loon business In the North. when
the late Willis Britt and Frank
Churchill breezed into Tex's town
a little the worse for wear. They
looked the situation over and de-
cided to give boxing show to help
buy bacon and beans for another
meal.
The proprietor OF the only hall
In town wanted 5000 rent for one
night. and as neither Church nor
Britt had that much between them
they interested Richard In the
game.
The show was put on. but every
one was 80 busy digging gold that
-s promoters lost money.
This did not seem to worry Rick
ard, however. He thought II was a
good show and Immediately made
plans to stage another.
