TEX RICHARD PLANS TO SIGN
MICKEY WALKER FOR SUGGEST
With EUROPEAN WELTERWEICHT
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-Balked in
his efforts to make a number of
matches, Tex Rickard wants to sign
Mickey Walker, world s welter-
weight champion, TO meet Tommy
Milligan, European welt terwoight
and middlewieght champion of Eu-
rope, III Madison Square Garden ir
the Christmas fund benefit.
Milligan has already signed an
agreement to appear in three fights
for Rickard and Walker gave his
terms some time ago when Rickard
was dickering for match between
the welterweight champion and
Dave Shade, the California chal-
lenger.
1t is understood, however, that
Shade has decided to forsake the
welterweight class and fight as a
middleweight in the future, as he
fears he will injurc himself by re-
ducing to that weight.
Wants 100000 Purse
1t Is said Walker wants 100000
to defend his title in decision bout
but Rickard cannot pay that much
as there would be nothing left for
the Christmas stocking. The New
York boxing commission also pass
ed rule some time ago that at
least fifty per cent Of the receipts
must be given to te charity for
which benefits are given.
1t was hoped that a heavyweight
contest could be arranged as the
star bout but Riekard has abandon
ed those plans. He offered George
Godfrey, the big Philadelphia negro,
to Harry Wills and Gene Tunney
but they would have aone of him.
Wills said he couldn't get away
from a contract not to engage in
any important match until next
September, when he is TO meet
Jack Dempsey for the heavyweight
championship. Tunney said Godfrey
was too dark and that Wills was
the only negro he would condescend
to meet.
II m getting disgusted with the
game, Rickard SAID today. THE
demands being made by managers
are impossible. If it keeps on
may can boxing out Of the new gar
den as regular feature and stage
only Il couple of match season.
