While the city in general is prom
ising not to plunder the convention
visitors, Rickard, 1t is understood.
will take a shot at those who have
been clamoring about the CONNER
cial end of the boxing game by giving
them big fight at bargain counter
rates.
The promoter of Madison Square
Garden definitely has decided to stage
the Dempsey Gibbons bout, which he
practically has signed, during the con-
vention. He figures Gibbons is the
big fistic hero of the West and Middle
West, and that he will be a big at
traction.
Rickard already has practically
saved boxing in New York by putting
over the deal which brought the con-
vention here. Wise political observers
are sure the Democratic politicians
who have been after him cannot be
so ungrateful as to continue the CAM
paign against the man who put over
the convention deal after they had
failed.
Rickard has volunteered to make al
terations in Madison Square Garden
that will increase the capacity to 30.-
600, and he is going to pay the cost,
estimated at $4,000, out of his own
pocket.
Several bills aimed at boxing have
been introduced at Albany. but It IS
the unanimous opinion now that they
will be allowed to die naturally.
