Rickard. with his key TO Madison

up as far as big boxing was con-
cerned. n the union wouldn't work
for Rickard they couhn't work az all

larger seating capacity than the

"Get on the stage. Tex. you've held

Now comes Rickard right back al

said.

I haven't seen Cook work but

him he impressed me as being an in
