RICHARD

There were other important sport promoters before Tex Richards booming voice was heard near the tents and the arenas; but 1t was Rickard who put sport into the classification of big business. He had nerve and courage. and knew his public.
 He realized almost to a penny what the public would pay to see a big fight. approximately how many would scramble to the gate. and how the profits would run. Occa- sionally he guessed wrong, as in the case of the last bis fight; but that did not happen often.
 The promoters skill represented . lifetime of rubbing shoulders with sporting humanity. From the days of the Alaska and Nevada gold rushes he came to know what he-men want 
 ed and how to cater to their needs. When he edged his way into the big fields he put on shows of class. and his name connected with an affair gradually came to mean confidence by all who participated and by the public. His name was a trademark and a guarantee.
 It is being said that there is no immediate prospect of another fight promoter like Rickard. Certainly there Is no likelihood of another with such a colorful history. one 50 much a Barnun1 of the prize ring.
