 dustry, such is the route Tex Rickar has travelled. Gone is the glamor
 the early bouts he promoted, tf picturesque color scenes which SUI rounded arrangements at the stagin
 of the Cans Nelson battle at Golc , field: the Johnsop-J Jeffries combs at Reno and even the Dempsey-W , lard match at Toledo.
 In those days Ridkard had his O flee in his hat. Every move of Il promoter was made under the watcl | ful eyes of hundreds of fight fal
 and reporters.
 Rickard was the last man to 1
 to his room at night andr the fir
 to appear in the hotel corridor

 hour of the day.
 Today all is changed. The Deml
 sey- Carpenter bout Is modern bu
 mess proposition. Business Is n
 done in front of a Reno hotel wi
 distant moutains forming a bacl
 ground. Rickard is reached in pr
 vate office, if one has important ma
 ters to discuss. only after gauntl
 of secretaries and other office di . nitaries are passed
 In place. of the hotel lobby is
 suite of offices. Mails and telegrar Il flow into the executive departme i of Madison Square Garden in T endless stream. Messengers depa u hourly to adjacent banks to cac n the proceeds of ticket sales. No 'o mercantile corporation is buster. 'o Rickard sits in his inner sanctu
 the walls of which are hung w r. photographs of the scenes Of 1e earlier and more spectacular pl e, motions. His date book shows ( m cry minute accounted for until al pm or later.
