RICHARD TO BAR RADIO?

For the first time perhaps a heavyweight
championship bout has proved fop-that is
as far as the gate receipts are concerned. On
the thrilling Tunney-Heeney encounter Tex
Richard has lost, it is reported, about 1885,
900.
Richard is a good sport and took it real good
naturedly, but he had few things to say about
the radio.
1t seems that only 100000 people attended the
fight Double that number were expected
Richard ascribes the absence of many to the
fact that they could hear the fight over the
radio And so he threatens to forbid radio
oroadcasting of his next big event.
The situation is interesting indeed. A cham
lonsmp bout is a great national event The en-,
lire country is Interested Is it ethical to shut
OFT the means whereby the majority of per-
sons get tbelr running story of such event?
What # number of persons kept away from
the Yankee Stadium in New York. preferrng to
get the fight over the radio? Does this mean
That persons living far away from the scene of
the encounter are not to have the privilege of
listening in" on it? There will always be suf-
flclent people who will want to see the fight
on the spot" The real solution is lower prices
for Seats lower guarantees for the fighters and
not the outlawing of the broadcasts
For by this time American citizens deem it
natural right to be able to get news and de-
scrlptlons OF important proceedings via the ra-
dio. There is no reason why this right should
oe taken from them.
We wonder if Tex Richard has ever thought
OF newspaper advertising as means to swell
the attendance at his bouts? He gets tons of
free publicity, but nothing axes the place of
paid newspaper space. If Tex Richard used it,
he might not have to worry abodt the radio.

TUNNEY LEAVES THE RING

Gene Tunney has announced his decision to
leave the prize ring forever Naturally, it is
with a tWinge of regret that see him go,
for he has been of the most respected ex-
ponents of the art of self defense and certain
ly one who lifted the boxing game to a higher
plane. He showed the world that a man might
be possessed of exceptional mental faculties and
yet engage as fighter. Tunney was success
whether in the ring before class of COL
lege men giving talk on Shakespeare He viii
always be a success in whatever he undertakes.
For he has keen mind is acquainted with
the best that has been said and done in the
past, and in addition has strength and that
duality known as gameness In his fight with
Tom Heeney, he slowed up and gave the Au-
stralian a chance to recover when the latter
was suffering from badly hurt eye. He has
proven in this instance and in others that he
is true sportsman.
craftsmanship counts everywhere else as
well as in the prize ring. We may expect great
things from Tunney. He has the elements of
character that were instilld in him by his ex-
periences in the ring-here they are, as he
mentions them himsf: stamina, confidence
patience self-denial, bodily fitness mental alert
ness and courage"
In leaving the ring, Tunney emphasized that
he had no brief against the prize ring as such.
He said rightly that no man is bigger than his
profession He simply stated that the period of
mans usefulness in the prize ring is limited
and that he preferred to retire from it while
still going strong, Good luck to him.

The Poets Column
WHAT THE CID FARM MEANS TO ME
By Frank Monroe Beverly

A little farm lies up the creek,
With double lighthouse olden
Out-buildings long since made a wreck
These are to time beholden.
Doors standing open half un-hinged,
The windows rudely broken,
The chimney falling by degrees
0 words thus sadly spoken.
The yard is open to the stock
Upon the commons feeding,
Enclosures by the vandas torn,
Their baser instincts needing.
The flowers that once in beauty bloom'd,
By faithful hands attended,
Have felt the tramp of careless feet,
Which their beauty ended
The fields are waste, with shrubs o'ergrown
The fences are decayng,
The orchard by-ways, on these all
The hand of time is preying
But why, ask does this concern
Myself in such pother?
Why just because-the reasons plain
Twas once the home of father.
