ney John V. Clinnin.
when informed he would be re
auired TO give bond he hauled huge
roll of $1,000 bills from his pocket
peeled off ten and nonchalantly tosse1
them on Mr.. Glass desk.
On the same charge for which he
was arrested here Mr.. Richard was
fined $1,000 in New York.
The fight pictures have been shown
at The Soldiers hospital at Drexel
boulevard and Forty-seventh street,
which was reported to Colonel Gin
min.
Rickard said he intended to show
them last night at the Marine hos
pitaF and tonight at the new Speed
way hospital. where 1000 manned sol
diers win view the boxing exhibi
ton"
The films are being shown in New
York, and the purpose of Mr.. Rick
ards visit here is to arrange to show
them in Illinois.
The Chicago situation is compli
Gated, however, by a city ordinance
passed at the time of the Jeffries-John

cit is the poor man who Is hit by
the ban on these pictures, he Said.
The rich man can pay the high prices
asked for whisky. He can also pay
$50 for a seat at the fight The poot
man is not permitted to see the films
even. They can hardly be called figh1
pictures. They are views of the quar-
tets, the trainers, the crowds, the biz
arena.
