ATTEMPTS UNDER WAY
TO SINK TEX AND GANG

New York, Nov 2l,---New York's
boxing promoters and managers OF
boxers are fighting among themselves
and for more than fortnight real
quarrel has been brewing. On one
side the managers are organizing
with the avowed determination OF
sinking Tex Richard and the rest of
the Madison Square outfit.
The managers are arrayed solidly
against conditions In Richards big
sport theater as n result of what they
feel il discrimination Their argu-
ment Is that the matchmaking ar
rangements In the garden are all
wrong. They allege Richard and his
aids serve In q double role as match
maker and manager Of nlne,tenths of
the boxers who receive engagements
at the big fight club, and are setting
out to break up the practice.
The managers contend that 1t Is
| impossible to get by Leo y, Flynn
who does the matchmaking for Rick
ard. They complain they are ignored
| and they want a showdown.
While the managers may have rea'
sonable grounds for their campaign
they have in their lot some of thu
wrecking crew who helped kill box
ing in New York on two different oc
casionS.
Aside from this row, boxing is en-
loving a more successful perio(
throughout the state than ever in III
past. But there is room for improv
ing conditions under Richards rule
Rumors are coming thick and fas

ing formerly housing a department
store, near Cooper Union, is to b

ton TO Madison Square Garden.

had left native land and kinsfolks foi
her sake, caring for her as tenderly
as though she had been her own
blood.
She looked up to see Ruth stand
ing before her. "Well?" she asked,
and anxiety made voice hard and
shrill. "what Of Boaz!'
Ruth opened her mantle before she
spoke. "These six measures Of bar
ley did Boaz give me-" she answered,
displaying the gift she brought with
her, "and he has promised that he
will act the kinsman's part to me-"

"If he weds you,' answers Naomi,
evading her question, and hating her
self for her evasion, "if Boaz weds
you, the line Of my son, Mahlon, need
not die out in Israel, and may hold
grandchild upon my knee"
And Ruth had answered nothing.
Drawing her veil closely about her
face, she had left Naomi in the door
way, walking down the road white
with moonlight as proudly as a
young queen to her coronation. And
Naomi, the older woman, had watch
ed her with increasing bitterness in
her heart, for the girl seemed glad
to seek out a new lover, while she,
Naomi, knew she would never cease
to morn the husband Of her youth.
Naomi thought of all these things,
brooding over Ruth's hardness Of
heart as she sat waiting for her to
return. "A heathen woman at

daughter Of Moab! Well do / remem-

heart strangely torn between joy and
anger, joy that what he had hard
ly dare to dream might come to pass,
anger, that Ruth, who had known her
sons love, had so soon learned to for
get his devotion and the few months
of happiness they had known togeth-
er. . But she kept her thoughts
unspoken and encouraged Ruth to
speak TO Boaz, her kinsman and a ricl
landowner in Bethlehem.
Now the end of the barley and Of
the wheat harvest had come and Mao
mi feared that the daily communion
between Boaz, master Of the reapers,
and Ruth might come to an end and
her dreams would thus end in empti-
ness. And so, the night before when
she knew that Boaz, according to the
custom Of that day, slept upon the
threshing-floor, Naomi had called
Ruth before her and had placed upon
her certain strange command With
her own hands, Naomia d se

she braided the girls dark hair with

Ruth had flushed and paled, but

when deeply moved. AT last she had
said slowly: "And you would have

The warm sunlight flowed into the
window of the little house of Naimi
of Bethlehem, the house where she
had borne the two sons who had died
in Moab across the Jordan. A widow
without children, she had returned to
the home of her childhood with Ruth,
her daughter-in-law, a. her side.
Ruth, the widow Of Mahlon, woman
Of Moab, had deserted home and XIII
for the sake of Naomi, her mother
in-law, refusing to desert her in her
old age :. And now Naomi in trem-
bling doubt and impatience, waited
for her to return from the threshing-
floor of Boaz.
Sitting by the window, the morning
sunshine falling upon her grey hair
and sorrowful face, Naomi remember
ed all that had come to pass since her
return to Bethlehem. Naomi had
gone forth a wealthy woman, rejoic-
ing in her husband and her two strong
young sons, and returned a sorrow
ink widow with no stay in life but the
frail girl who drooped at her side. She
who had known abundance might
have suffered want, had not Ruth
gone forth in to the harvest fields Of
Boaz, the rich kinsman Of Naomi,
there to gather the gleanings Of the
reapers, consecrated by the law Of
Moses to the fatherless and the poor.
Naomi recalled her fears for Ruth
the morning the girl had set out for
the harvest fields Of Boaz; even in the
coarse garments she had worn since
her widowhood, Ruth's young beauty
showed forth so radiantly that Naomi
had bade her little harshly to veil
her face should she meet with rude
ness from the young men who work
ed among the reapers. Later she re-
pented Of her harsh voice, for Ruth,
who was docile in all things, had never
been guilty Of boldness or immodesty.
Yet a pain stirred in Naomi's jealous
mother heart as she realized that her
dead son, Mahlon, was deprived Of his
wife's sweetness and beauty even in
the days Of his youth.
The summer days passed until the
barley harvest was over and every
night Ruth, weary from her toll
among the cleaners, returned with
her arms filled with gleanings. As
they sat in the dusk together she
told many tales Of the kindness Of the
reapers, who gave her the best OF
the gleanings ;and she spoke often
Of Boaz, the master Of them all, who
had asked her to sit and break bread
with him during the monday meal
and given her TO drink from his own
cup. And Naomi had listened with q

She sighed little, her sad eyes look
ing through the open window toward
the hills Of Moab, her home which
lay beyond the Jordan.
He said," continued Ruth, "that
there was one nearer Of kin to my
husbands house than he. But il he
could buy the land Of your husband
for himself then he would have
right to wed me. Today he goes to
meet the enlers at the gate that they
may talk Of this thing among them
selves"
Naomi rose heavily from her seat,
the old anger for Ruths heartlessness
stirring within her, mingled with joy
that Boaz would redeem her sons in
heritance and perhaps raise children
in his stead.

"and that he will not rest until he

a little Of the day when Ruth held her

For when Naomi stood beside the
