Years ago in the back room of his

NEW YORK, November 14.-Sooner
or later Tex Rickard will have to con-
tend with real opposition to hold his
place as the premier promoter of box

are Humbert Fugazy of New York and
Jim Mullins of Chicago.
Rickard so far holds sway. He has
had the good fortune Of tying up the
heavyweight champion to appear un-

means the top. No one else but til,
heavyweight champion can draw a

Gene Tunney is one champion who
does not much like Richards way of

Gene would willingly part with Rick

the game with Gene. Going back to
the first Dempsey-Tunney fight it will
be recalled that Rickard made new
contracts with the fighters on the eve
of the fight. Tunney signed because
he wanted the chance at the title.

C. L. Walker. of the Western Navajo

Tuesday that he will have Indians

out of Blue Canyon to help if needed,
though it is likely they will not be

The thousands from all points Of
the compass who gather on the reser-
vation each year to witness the weird

tie realize the long and elaborate cere-
monies which lead up to this annual
spectacle.
The snake dance is a prayer for
rain, believed by the Hopi to be stored
in vast reservoirs IN the heavens and
also beneath the earth. So annually
he petitions the powers to loosen these
waters and permit them to flow. The
snakes are used because they are sup
posed to be the best intermediary be-
tween the Indians in their plea for
rain and the gods in control OF the
waters.
In August every year, from those
villages holding such dances, the
Snake and Antelope clans meet jointly
and determine by various meteorolog-
ical signs the date upon which such
ceremonies shall begin. Announce
ment is made from the house tops by

day shall begin the first of the nine

connected with the dance.
