Gitioas improve" was the statement
Of a Chicago jobber in a telegram
received Thursday by W. Il. McDavitt
Brownsville dealer. The Chicago
market has scores Of cars OF cabbage
on track which must be disposed OF
before the market returns to normal.
One factor Which contributed TO
the heavy shipments the past two
weeks in the face Of a falling market
was the tsx-paying period, shippers
state. Many growers we're forcing
their production on the market in
order 70 meet tax payments before

this period passed they will be in
position to hold down the movement
to the minimum for several days.
Bankers Issue Appeal
Following is the text Of the appeal
issued Thursday by Brownsville
bankers, and which has been issued
in much the same form By practically
all banks in the Valley:
"We, the undersigned bankers, aft

leading shippers Of the Valley, are
Of the opinion that there is no rea-
sonabIe excuse for the present low
price Of cabbage
THE information we get from re-
liable dealers is that there is an
accumulation Of cabbage on the tracks
in the large markets on account Of
extreme cold weather. and the con-
tinued dumping OF cabbage on top
Of the present accumulation can

Richard.
The most dominating as we'll rs
most daring individual promoter in
the history Of professional sports
leaves behind him. at the age Of 50.
after over p a connection with
boxing. an unparalleled record OF
achievement and success
Richard entered boxing when II
was generally taboo, ar outlaw
sport. for the most part, harried BY
the law. He leaves the sport on a
big business scale a hobby Of society
and fashion, IN an era Of million
dollar purses for its heavyweight
principals and Of costly, almost lux
urious. arenas for it, setting.
Crowd Thrilled Him
The general public knew Richard
a. a kecn-cyed, kcen-sightcd pro-
moter or cxtravaganzas. "A lean,
bronzed figure with cigar and cane.
His business associates knew him
a. a visionary who also had practi-
cal ideas; boxing managers A. a
shrewd handler Of situations and
keen analyst Of boN-office values.
TO newspapermen, Richards door,
whether to his old tower quarters in
the original Garden or in the mor
luxurious suite or the new Garden,
was always open. To old time box
ers and old associates, men with
their fortunes gone, Tex was q
ready. handed friend.
Richard got his biggest thrill out
Of tho crowd OF around 10000 that
paid 81. o 900 to see the first ncmp-
sey-Tunney fight in the rain Ut
Philadelphia.
Il shall never forget that sight
he said often. GAS | looked hack
from the ringside over those thou
sands. EN- Of thousands, II sends
the chills up and down my back"
Thought Jeffries Best
The chief reason Richard took the
second Dempsey-Tunney fight to
Soldier Field, for the greatest Of all
heavyweight extravaganzas, was his
desire to attract the biggest crowd
in history. He succeeded and the
mark OF nearly 100000 for the
gate" from some $4,000 spectators
may stand indefinitely.
Richards slogan, when he first
undertook to promote the game on
a big scale in New York. was "a seat
for eevry customer and every Gus
toner in his own seat" Patrons Of
boxing who used to be lucky to get
inside some Of the old arenas, much
less get the seats their tickets called
for. came to realize and appreciate
that at Richards shows they could
depend on getting the space their
pa~steboard specified and actually sec
what was going on.
Richard regarded Jim Jeffrics as
the greatest Of all heavyweight cham
pions but his admiration for Demp-
sey's fighting qualities was greater.
