New Material Is
 Needed In Boxing,
 Says Tex Rickard

New York, September 9-New ma terial must be found if boxing is to remain popular, Promoter Tex Rick ard declared today, adding that the day of the mammoth purse and bankruptlng seat prices is passing. / Provision must be made for -e- placement material" he asserted. T am convinced that the public is tired of seeing the same boxers competing time and again.
 With this idea in mind. Rick ird is planning to increase the number of amateur bouts to be staged at Madison Square Garden this winter and he hopes to develop one or more prospective candidates in each weight class with cham pionshio possibilities. While boxing bouts will be held in the local arena at least once week after September 23, few bouts have as yet been ar- ranged, and no special efforts will be made by the promoter to card prominent boxers in any partic llar class.
 T have no particular star bouts in mind at present." Ricl1ard said.
 but hope to use Carpentier. Demp- ,sey Willard, Tom Gibbons and others during the next 12 months, if reasonable financial terms can be reached. I have received a letter from Willard, stating that he has started training. but will require at least six months before he makes his attempt to regain the heavy weight title. That probably means that he will not box in a champion ship match before next summer"

GOSSIP OF \
THE STREET

Brokers had pleasant surprise
awaiting them in yesterdays morning
mail. II was notice from one OF the
big uptown trust companies informing
them the rate on demand loans on and
after today would be 81 per cent in
stead of the maximum legal rate OF q
per cent of the State Of Pennsylvania.
This is atriking exemplifcation Of
the remarkable change which has taken
place in the monetary situation tht =
out the entire country. A year ago, go
called brokers loans we're almost an un-
nnown quontity, and most Of the re-
quirements Of the local commission
houses were obtained in New York.
Brokers were always willing 20 nay the
9 per cent rate II accommodations could
be obtained, but the periodic unessen-
tial loans practically cut out all money
for stock market purposes. While funds
were more readily obtained the last few
weeks. following the lowering Of the
Federal Reserve rediscount rate and the
pronounced appreciation Of Investment
values in the security markets, yet it,
tie promise was given of any relaxing
Of rates during the balance of the cur
rent year.
Officials e most of the other loaning
companies declared they would not fol-
low. as they did not deem the time pro-
pitious for n SO per cent rate. with
Ioanable funds. however, piling up fast
ms they have recently and with the de-
mand from business interests slnckcn-
ing, it is only question when a gem
cral reduction will be made. II proves
beyond dispute easy money at last is
real thing.
