For the semlWtndup Of h big bonn
bardment, Rick Is seeking to match
the best boxer In the navy and the
rounds or 80, the purse to be $4,000.
u Is easy TO see that with the cream
OF the navy n army battlers In &C
ton, the bout would draw every. eoe
and rookie In the country, and that's
exactly what Rick wantS, and In fact
must have II he pays the colossal eK.

be handsomely paid for, SO the arena,
Wherever Il may be planted, must be
the magnet which draws thousands OF
dollars from the pockets Of American
sportsnen II Rick ls to come out ahead
OF the bankrupt law.
Tho ssmiwlndup between the navy
and army battlers would be q good
plan and undoubtedly would make
big hit. Just how Il would sit with

coming as long as he Dets his hundred
thou.
Richard Toes not state whether he
prefers lightweiEhts, middleweiRhts,
feathers or bantams, but specifies only
that they are the best in the army and
navy. All the gobs everywhere would
vote Pal Moore, the Memphian, as the
best Of the jolly tars, which fits Pal
exactly.
II Is probable that elimination con
tests may be staged TO- see who is the
better qualified to take care OF the
big semiwindup job.

Chicago bantam, who meets Pal Moore
here Monday night.

e Says KarpS in the Buffalo Evenin,
"It is not hard 20 see how Pal Moor

g points. according Q the Enslish sys
: parently every tap is a point. an
there is no doubt about Moore bein
: a tip-top Taper. He tapped Kid Load

even IL Dick was scarcely aware tina
: he was being tapped. | think he ca
do that to most any bantam now bant
II ing about the American ring. An
very likely to some featherweights, Pr
Is quite likely TO make Jimmy Walsh
OF Nashville. for instance, look quit

. they meet there for eight rounds 0
y Feb. II. However. a referees decislo
J. will be allowed, so Pal will doubles
tap his very tappiest and 1t Ia dollai
to doughnuts he gets the decision"
