FANS PAY "TEX" RICKARD
 10 MILLIONS IN 17 YEARS
 FOR PROMOTING SWATFESTS

New York. - From the very mod est beginning of sportsman's car ger which saw him proprietor of many noted gambling houses in the West and Northwest, George (Tex) Rickard today stands out as the greatest and most successful boxing promoter the world has ever seen.
 Seventeen years as promoter of fistic entertainments have seen near 1y ten million dollars find their way into the Rickard coffers.
 To be specific the gates" of fights sponsored by Tex have reached the staggering total of S9,550, 556 71 !, which includes his last venture, the Renault-J Johnson bout. This total is the fruit of nearly 120 bonts, but be fore he quits the fight promoting game Tex expects to reach the twen- ty million mark.
 And why not?" he said the other day, Boxing, you know, is still in us lHldHCs
 Of his grand total Rickard has paid out to fighters $4,500,00O and to the Federal Government $1,296,- 106.22 in taxes.
 "Bugs" Sting Him On September 3, 1906 the fight bug sung Tex and stung him so we'll that to date he has not recovered.
 It wasn't the Malamute Cafe. but anyway. a bunch of the boys were whoopin' it up in Tex's gambling house in Goldfeld. New. when there was lull in the native excitement the place afforded, and some express ed d desire for something new"
 Glasses filled with amber colored fluid. were emptied for inspiration, and the birth of notion" in one inn aginative soul put Tex Rickard on the road to fame and fortune.
 How about prize fght?" sug- gested this worthy.
 'Fine! Attaboy!" was the general response of the other habitues, and Tex started planning.
 Visiting San Francisco he signed up Battling Nelson. then ring sen sation on the Pacific Coast. to battle Joe Cans, title holder for the light weight championship of the world. This bout was staged on September 3, 1906. and Cans and Nelson fought their famous forty-one round battle. which netted Tex $69.715 "gate" and neat profit of $36,215.
 Tex was of to good start. but had difficulty in matching fighters until 1910. when. under his financial guid- ance, Jeffries and Jack Johnson met ir Reno and increased his private

ADVICE OF RICHARDS
HELPS YANKEE GIRL
nv HAL O'FLAHERTY.

specfal Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News.
LONDON, July S.-After montn
nlay on English courts, Helen wills
has mastered the new methods mace
necessary by low-tension rackets
and low-pressure balls. She demon
strated her superiority in the matcn
with Mrs. Satterthwaite Wednesday
evening to the satisfaction of ANA
teur and professional critics by win
ming two straight sets, allowing her
clever opponent but three games.
Miss Wills improvement since her
defeats last month is attributed TO
the excellent advice given her at that
time by Vincent Richards, VINO
watched closely her early matches
and told her why she lost
1T is in your rackets," said Richards,
that you will find the I;aI cause .fs OF your our
unlike the American variety. They
are filled with air at very low pres
sure When hammered with high
tension rackets they are apt to take
unusual tangents. They come across
the net looking like wobbling eggs.
IF you loosen the tension of your
rackets and delay your strokes you
will find the ball going where you
intend it should"
MISS " Ills dCCtpleu tliS NiIC
luctantly, feeling that a changed
racket must ruin her game, but after
the first trial she found her accuracy
had Increased one hundred fold. To-
day Miss Wills plays the new game
as we'll as, if not better than, English
players of championship class. Her
confidence has been regained, and she
is able to outwit her opponents by
placement shots far too fast to re-
cover.
Mrs. Satterthwaite tried to return
some of Miss Wills first placements
but finding them unplayable, smil-
ingly stood motionless when she saw
them coming.
Whether Miss Wills will be able to
defeat Kitty McKane in the finals
none is able to predict. Richards
Williams and Hunter are abso-
lutely confident that she will take
home some one of the championships
No matter what the result of the
match with Miss McKane, she will
take home the respect and admira.
tion of the British public.

ON THE SIDE LINES

Stan Harris shut off a sure-fire run
in the initial stanZa when, with Clark
on second, he sped deep into center
to take Veachs fly over his shoulder.
1t was a fine effort.
GOxlfn's safety in the second was
on an unintentional tap toward third
made in trying 10 dodge one of Fer
guson's fast balls.
Judge scrambled fast after knock
ing down Lees wicked smash in the
third, but retrieved the ball in time
to flag him with toss to Zahniser.
Matthew'S productive triple in the
third was more or less of an accident.
Wild got his bat around late and the
ball sliced off the end of it, down the
third base line.
GosIin's unfntenttonal bunt in the
second worked SO well he purposely
essayed the stunt in the fifth and
got away with it in fine style.
Blueses stop of Wamby's hot
smash with Clark on first in round
eight was a fine effort. Oss reached
so far to spear the ball with one
hand that he almost lost his balance.

CARPENTIER-TUNNEY
DATE IS A PROBLEM
BY FAIR PLAY.

NEW YORK, July 3.-Just now
various promoters are holding verbal
bouts with one another in an effort
to arrange a satisfactory date for
the Tunney-Carpentier battle.
Jimmy Johnston, promoter of the
projected combat, simply cannot stage
this fight upon the night named by
the athletic commission, July "a.
The Giants play at the Polo
grounds that day and when they get
through with rival team the
grounds are unfit for another battle
upon the evening of the same day.
Johnston would like to shove the
affair ahead to Tuesday. July %, a
date which infringes upon one or two
Brooklyn clubs to which have been
assigned by by the commission the
early days of the week.
The chances are. however, that
Johnston may talk the Brooklyn
people into a mood of reason.
Jack Renault is going to fight some
at the greensboro A. c. in Long
Island City on July 21. Jack has
signed papers and says he does not
care what opponent Simon Flaherty
selects. Jack Sharkey of Boston, the
new John l.. Sullivan" who gave
Floyd Johnson such a pasting re-

Every one who has seen this husky
youngster says he will bear the clos
