Leagues Battle for Players NO Real Riul for Leonard Sight
CHAPTER XVII.-What the
Public Likes.
BY TEX RICHARD.


The open air arena is the place
the only place-to hold big cham
pionship fight. Following my ex-
perience in Goldheld with the Cans
Nelson fight that idea sunk into my
mind. l have never got over it. l
have staged other big fights in Madi-
son Square Garden and in base ball
parks, but the real place is a spe-
cially built arena.
The arena means more than the
convenience of handling the crowds
and independence of halls and parks.
1t throws glamour around a big
fight that nothing alse approaches.
1t is very difficult to associate box
ing with any other sport. The mind
OF the public must be centered on a
hght. and nothing else. There is some
of the old Roman gladiator idea about
IT. Thousands of people will go for
hundreds of miles to an arena built
for definite purpose when they. might
convenience where they could go or
not. Fight fans, like all humans, like
to go to trouble to witness a big
sporting event. They like to make it
an occasion-a big mark in their ex-
periences of the year.
For example, if the Yale-Harvard
foot ball game was held in Madison
Square Garden there would be a lack
of zest in getting to it. There would
be no necessity to plan parties, ar
range motor trips and SO on. A big
sporting event must be a sort of Mecca
to which people can journey from all
parts the country. 1 can feel this
idea better than I can express it. l
think my readers know what I mean.
In all sincerity, the consideration of
how much or how liilte I might prof
it in a big fight never caused me
much concern. Always that was Sec
ondary. In fact. I did not go into the
fight game with the thought Of MAX
ing money. AS have related. 1 was
ght by joking shs csraoon. printed
in a San Francisco newspaper. 1t
was of a jackass, braying "Where is
Tex Rickard?"
Tex Talked Of as n Plunger.
In other words, my pride was touch
ed. l wanted to prove that l could
put on another big fight and get away
with 1t. The fact of bringing one of
sion gave me immeasurably more sat-
isfaction than the actual profit. OF
course, did not want to be a sucker
Nobody does. / have known men of
great wealth, who didn't need any
more money and never would be in
need of it, to work night and day for
weeks on a deal just to show that
they still had a punch-were not
suckers
So you can imagine the feeling of
accomplishment that. came over me
after we had successfully staged the
Jeffries-Johnson fight in spite of all
the early difficulties.
BY this time 1 was getting a repu-
tation as big plunger is fistic events
The sums had offered as purses were
looked upon as out of all reason

a friendly way by Bat Masterson, the
sport writer, and others Bat pointed
out that all my efforts, or most of
them, went toward fattening the
purses of fighters and Of others who
got in on the side, while I barely got

GRADUATES ARE SCORED
FOR QUITTING ATHLETICS

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, February 4.-Fred
Thomson. former holder of the A. A.
U. all-around track and field cham
pionship, deplores the practice of ath-
letes in relinquishing athletics as
soon as they finish school
American athletes are the greatest
in the world" Thomson says, but
they are not sportsmen. BY that l do
not speak of ethics or honor. A sports
man, in the universal sense, is one
who plays for the love of play
Yankee athletes give everything to
their schools and colleges; then when
they finish school they are finished
also with athletics; they relax and
grow fat

RECORDS is PUBLISHED

Everlast Boxing Record for 1924 has
made its third bow. The editor and
publishers have planned and built
a boxing manual and reference book

up this EverlaSt Boxing Record with
bits from his own pen and with con-
tributions from Anne rican'S leading
sport authorities such as Robert Ed

The 400 pages that make up this

meets a man now and then whose
American patriotism seems weak or
acking, but it was shocking to hear it
charged that groups whose ideals Of
American nationalism are f1abby and
dangerous have been getting their
doctrines and literature before the
young people and children In the
schools.
Americans will derive a large meas.
u-e of satisfaction from a statement
by the chairman of the Character
Education Institution. which is a ma
tional organization Of State superin-
tendents of education and other edu.
Gators associated with the public
school system. The head OF that or.
ganization says that it is impossible
for disloyal activities or propaganda
to get a start in the schools, that
boards Of education are made up OF
trustworthy citizens and that the su-
perintendents, supervisors and the
great body of teachers are on guard.
The president general Of the Daugh-
ters Of the American Revolution plans
that the society shall enter on a vigor.
Gus campaign against unpatriotic
propaganda in America. 1t is good
work. and everything that will tend
to keep the spirit of American ma
tionalism at the highest and noblest

The Ice-Sea Route,

Reports of ice barriers on the Green
land coast and difficulty of finding a
landing place for planes reminds one
that the route of the globe flyers will
not soon become a practicable or
popular route for transport of goods
or men. With luck on their side the
American flyers engaged in this great
adventure should finish their journey.
They have flown longer water dis.
tances than now lie between them and
the United Stztes. Five years ago the
1C-4, in it's transatlantic flight, flew
1900 miles over sea, and Alcock and
iBrown, in 1919, few 1000 miles from
Newfoundland to Ireland. 1t is ad-
mitted that there are risks in such
trips.
The route Of the American flyers
across the Atlantic has lain along and
still closely parallels the sixty-fifth de-
gree of north latitude, approximately
1866 miles north of Washington. The
air is cooler than the miles north in
dicate, because the Arctic current
sweeps dowa between Iceland and

The Presidents Vacation.

President Coolidge's departure for a
short vacation on his fathers farm in
Vermont is well warranted by the con-
ditions under which he has been work
ing for some time past. He was kept
strictly on the job at the White House
for many months by Congress. And
shortly after adjournment came the
nominating convention. Soon after
occurred the tragedy of his sons
death. Then, in short order, followed
the formality of notification. Now he
is free for a few days as far as the
immediate obligations of the Office are
concerned. But he takes with him the
papers in a matter of great impor.
tance requiring close study and care.
full consideration, the sugar tariff de-
cision. He will not rest completely,
for he must peruse these documents.
Still, it will be a refreshment to him
to stay on the farm for nearly two
weeks. The hope is that he will be al.
lowed to rest and not be importuned
for interviews and sought out for OBJ
servations and favors.

Heroes.

There is a charm about movie"
heroes which is not to be denied.
Crowds give themselves up to the
spell, hand out posies OF sweet peas
not carrots-and almost overwhelm
the hero with compliments. That Is a
hard thing to do, because it is believed
that a movie hero can snap up COM
pliments as a hungry chicken snaps
up grains Of corn. These "stars of the
silver SCREEN" as they are called, are
more popular than real actors who de-
liver lines Of real literature with real
intelligence. One remembers that
when Lawrence Barrett, Henry Irv-
ing, Fanny Davenport and hundreds
Of others whose names are dear. would
come to Washington a small knot OF
men would gather at the door Of their
hotel or at the stage door. There was
no attempt by the onlookers to fall on
the neck Of the distinguished player.
These new heroes put it all over the
actors Of old. Henry Irving, Lawrence
Barrett. Edwin Booth, even good stall
into a den beneath the pavements Of
Paris or New York and beat up l.
apaches with bare fists and knock the
eighteenth rufiian through q brick
wall into a tub Of hot suds. So far
as the record goes Henry Irving never
leaped on cayuse. chased the Over
land Limited across the plains. threw
a lasso over the locomotive, stopped
the train, took 1 bloodcurdling bandits
from the baggage car. dumped them
over a cliff $4,000 feet high and
brought forth the lovely, but semi
conscious, form Of the hero's sweet.
heart from under the trucks Of the
train. 1t must be admitted that some
of these supermen are a trifle disap-
pointing when We meet them off the
screen, but that's that.

Greenland, while the Gulf Stream

Greenland, while the Gulf Stream
flows northward along our coast.
From Reykjavik there are about 500
miles Of water and ice along line
measured due east to the Greenland
coast, and from land to land it is only
800 miles if the line be measured from
North Cape, Iceland, northeast over
Denmark Strait to Greenland. From
the northeast of the Farce Islands to
Iceland the sea is about 300 miles
wide, and from the north coast Of
Scotland to the Shetland Islands and
from them to the Farce Islands the
hops are short. From the east coast
of Greenland there Is a point where
Davis Strait is only about 125 miles
wide, and crossing that water lands
one on Baffinland. From that place
flyer can come south, keeping land un-
der him the whole way except in
crossing Hudson Strait, about 80 miles
wide, and the usual rivers. The route
is roundabout, and the six-day boat be-
tween the United States and England
will probably remain the most popular
way with ordinary travellers for some
years.
