NEW YORK, May 80. The
abiding mystery as to just why
! young man Of intelligence
had insisted upon getting him
self involved il three title
fights probably for the price
of onewithin period Of Is
DAYS was explained in pains
taking detail this morning BY
Tommy Loughran, the young
man in question.
He was getting ready to enter
the ring tonight with Pete Latzo
IN the first heat Of this endurance
contest, and deemed the moment
ripe for 4 snappy what s-it-all-
about. ut.if-anything inquiry.
He replied by charging Tex Rick
ard with bad faith, In allegedly
falling to keep word-of-mouth
promise to drop him down in the
heavyweight elimination tOurna-
dissatisfaction to everybody except
Tunney, Heeney and Rickard.
The latter, he said, had talked
him out 0f match with Johnny
RisJxo IN Detroit by promising
to put ON . RislkO-L -LOughrAn
fight IN the Garden this spring.

fight and was left holding the
bag. His opposition on my SER
vices didn't mean anything, appar-
emily, for not only was he giving
me no work but ne was preventing
me from getting any by making
promises he didn't keep. Did I
run out on him? You can put II
that way. if you want. I prefer
to say that walked out on him."
Running or walking, Loughran,s
gesture seems to have lent aid and
comfort to something OF q stampede
from under the Rickard banner.
Ris1o, the most successful bag
holder In the field. retaliated for
the merry -g0.rOund ride he was
rendered in the elimination tourney
by signing with Jack Fugazy to
meet George Godfrey on June 20.
Sharkey, chagrined that his one
round knockout OF Jack Delaney
had produced no immediate re-
wards, also went over to Fugazy
for the purpose or meeting the
Risko- Godfrey winner.

made necessary by the facf tIlst
Leo LOmsIti suddenly lincd up
with Fugazy, too.
The trouble here was that Lough-
ran already had been signed for
Latzo. hence there was nothing for
Il hut TO 20 through with this af-
fair first and take on LomsEi on the
date originally assigned to the Latzo
fight. But the situation didn't be-
como really complicated until
IIckard stepped forward with his
option on Loughran to claim 4 date
between the other two for a match
with Jimmy Slattery.
The Lomski or Slattery fight will
be set back in due season. thus lend
ing an air Of plausibility to a situa.
tion that has become frankly i'm.
possible. a fact that concrens me
hardly at all. II that much. NY
story is that Rickard seems to have
succeeded in alternating many heavy :
weight fighters through his manipu-
lat1ons that led up to the Tunney-
Heeney contract and that most Of
those affronted happen to be men
he could use later.
This, confess, Is taking a lot
fc granted. including the fact that
Loughran will beat Latzo tonight.
