A Story on Rickard


VERY frequently you hear some
fight managers who are con-
tent with about $4,000 on the right
side at the end of the year, and
rival promoters, who have cal.
loused their hands holding the bag,
telling funny stories to illustrate
the point that Tex Rickard is a big
dummy with a lot of luck.
It is true that Rickard doesn't
know fighters as well as some of
.he fans, but it may be recalled
that the greatest football expert Of
all times once put man more than
a year dead on his All-America
team.
The favorite story against Rick
ard concerns Bud Taylor, who had
worked for Rickard in any number
of bouts, one of which resulted in
the death of frankie Jerome. Tay-
lor was bantamweight who was
high on the list of the leading
boxers that Rickard has been
RAChln5s
Last year Rickard took a party
of New York boxing writer's to St.
Louis in a private car to cover the
signing of Jack Dempsey for his
return to the ring. On the return
trip the train stopped at Terre
Haute and Taylor jumped on the
car. He greeted all the writer's and
then went in to see the "boss."
Rickard treated him cordially
and they pumped hands up and
down. Rickard knew that he was
fighter but he couldn't place him,
and to keep the conversation going
he said:
"What you doin' way out here,
young feller?"
Showing his surprise, Taylor
answered.: ''Why, Mr.. Rickard,
don't you know / live out here?"
The engine footed and Taylor
jumped off.
When Taylor had left, Rickdrd
turned to Mike Jacobs and asked:
WHO qoas that feHer?" Mike rang
for the porter and ordered ice.

night. A young fellow, accom-
panied by quite a gallery, ap-

Would Purchase Yanks

| Would Purchase YankS
lPICKARD rather enjoys having
~ the stories told about his poor
memory for names and faces and
he no doubt has logical reason
for feeling that he doesn't have to
know the name and face Of every
Tom, Dick and Harry in the bust
ness. .-x e.. st
The recent announcement that he
had secured the boxing privilege
at the Polo Grounds and might buy
an interest in the Giants ball club
recalled another incident that
might explain his logic.
Last year it was reported, and
not denied, that Rickard was dick.
ering for the purchase of the New
York Giants.
"What do you want with a base
ball club?" he was asked. "It's a
bum business racket for a man who
doesn't know anything about it."
Don't them birds who own
teams hire fellers to run 'em for
'em?" Rickard encountered. His
logic is that you can always hire
smart fellers who know everything
about their rackets.
He explained, however, that he
didn't want the ball club unless he
had to take it.
He aCanted to buy the Polo
Grounds and haze the baseball end
of the business transacted in the
Yankee stadium. 1t looks as it the
Giants may try to share the YAM
kee stadium qCith the Yankees and
permlit RickdYd to remodel the
Polo Grounds into big boxing,
football and hockey arena.
One on Braves Boss
IF Rickard did find himself with
a bunch of ball players on his
pay roll he might not make such a
bad magnate. Some, of the other
magnates are not sharks on base.
ball. Many of them are dependent
entirely upon the judgment of field
managers and business managers.
This story is told of Mr.. Adams,
a gentleman who is vice president
and a big stockholder Of the BOs-
ton Braves and the owner of the
Boston hockey team: !, N.Y. 4~c.
When the Braves got Rogers
Hornsby from the Giants, one Of
the Boston newspaper men asked
Adams what he thought Of the
trade. a.
Great" Adams replied. with
that pitcher we ought to win lot
of ball games" ~
And he wasn't joking. The boys
had to tell him that Hornsby wasn't
a pitcher. This is true story.

"From my own experience I am
convinced that Sargon contains
certain therapeutic agents which
are highly valuable whenever
