THREE CARRY
OUT WORK OF
TEX RICHARD
Carey, Dempsey And
Harnrnonds Are Do
ing Good Job For
Garden Enterprise

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-REFrom
Florida. land Of the waving palms,
and from the more prosaic confines
Of Madison Square Garden, comes
the answer to the question that
only q few short weeks ago o n
founded the finest minds Of the sock
market. They wanted 10 know who
ever could replace Tex Richard and
what would become of the Garden
when the tall Texan passed away,
and with the passing Of each day.
the answers of three Of the men who
helped Tex to his greatest successes
become louder.
Big Bill Carey, the mar who
actually built the Garden and still
owns most Of it, and Jack Dempsey.
whose thudding fists paid off the
mortgages, are nursing into life and
health the infant Richard left on
Miami Beach. With little hope Of
financial success, caring only 10
maintain the prestige Of Richard
and the Garden with as little loss as
possible, Carey and Dempsey seem
we'll on the way 20 bringing home a
profit from the Battle of the Ever
rlades.
While the right wing gradually is
turning Young ~Stribiing's scrap with
Jack Sharkey into something more
than a benefit for the Boston sailor
man, the Garden is steaming along
under the management Of the tall
West Pointer, Col. John S. Hammond,
toward bigger dividends than the
corporation has ever known before.
Aided by the shrewd match-mak-
ing of Tom McArdle, Hammond has
promoted seven fight cards in the
Tsst eight weeks that have packed
the Garden 70 capacity. turned thou
sands away and created new attend
snce records with each successive
show. IL the Garden could have held
them. 10000 fans would have seer
al Singer fight Bud Taylor last
Friday night.
The siivery-haired colonel has
turned the trick by replacing the
showmanship that once saturated the
Garden with hsrd-hesded business.
He has cut salary and other expen-
ses an average of 100000 a year.
Boxers are battling for him for six
per cent less than before in the Gar
den's history. Flat expenses for
running the building are almost five
per cent less than they were a year
ago.
There is only one fly 10 ma the
~eoionel's ointment. One year ago,
the price range under Richard ran
between IS and SIS for the best
seats. Several shows piaed 10 SIS
tops. Then q federal tax Of % per
cent was imposed on all tickets over
So and prices came tumbling down.
The colonel now charges IS, some
times $7.bo, for his best seats and
despite the reduction, the Garden
profits increased 50 per cent in De-
cernber and were somewhat higher
IN January than during the CORE
spending periods last year.

BY BISHOP
Sports Editor.

The playing Of Brownsville was
too fast for the Hsrlingen Cardinals
yesterday afternoon, the Eagles TAX
ing a firmer hold in the county bas-
ketball race, by q IS TO 7 win over
Coach Denton's crew.
The teams, fighting TO stay in the
Cameron county hoop race, played a
poor offensive game in the first half,
neither side being able to ring up
baskets with any regularity, although
many opportunities presented them
selves.
Harrington led the Eagles, 4 10 8. as
the first half ended, and the score
represented that much superiority of
the Cardinals over the locals, as the
first half play ended.
Turning about face. the Eagles, led
by Daniel Barnhart, began about the
fastest demonstration of court work
seen on the local field this eeason.
and gradually went ahead of the
Cards. and were never stopped after
a couple Of points margin over the
visitors.
Murray was high point scorer for
Harrington, with five markers, while
Barnhart, Of the Eagles. was high
scorer for the locals, ringing up 6
points. Murray and Barnhart are
centers on their respective teams,
and both proved stars Of the contest.
Weller did fine work for the
Eagles. as did Newman, Sylvester and
o'Bryan, the starting lineup.
The game started off slowly, but
as the first half neared its end, the
players became warmed up. and a.
a result before the game was over,
one of the fastest court games of
the seaso was in progress.
Brownsville made seven personal
fouls. Newman leading with three.
Harrington made ii fouls, and And
erson made the limit. four. and left
the game, while Murray made three
Bakes, Of La Feria, made his first
appearance before a local audience,
as a referee, and his work was com.
m%endable. although he was very
strict during the first half, and his
whistle sounded a continuous tune.
In the second half the referee, who
knows his business, realized the
court was different from an indoor
field, and his work received the an.
plause Of the spectators.
