that other promoters lacked-he

undesirables.
And in addition TO that Tex Rick.
ard had fate and destiny on his
side. The same destiny that had
guided him through the mountain
passes and across the snow trails
of Alaska and the Klondike: the
fate that had tossed him into the
maelstrom at Goldfield. the fate
that had completed his education
amid the sleepy grandeur of the
Argentine. still followed him into
the hurlyburly of Broadway.
When a triumphant Dempsey,
brOnxed as st. Gauden's
statue, stood in the ring at To

the prOtrate figure of the broken
Willard--at that moment the
career of Tex Richard turned

trails into the broad highway
of baIlyhOO. Cog and MagOg had
i0ined hands. The actor had
found his producer. the show
man had found his show.
There are many critics to pro-
claim that it was Dempsey snow
man ship that made Tex Richard.
There are as many more who de-
clare that it was Tex Richard who
made Jack Dempsey. Probably
both contentious are right-and
neither.
without Dempsey, Rickard would
have lacked the spark with which
to set flame to public interests
witness the complete flop of the
sTunney .Heeney embroglio with
Dempsey out of the picture. But.
without Richard. Dempsey. too,
would have found his flame dim

Dempsey was the pugilistic Don

S 1T was in 1920 that Tex Richard
