New York, Dec. 27-Twenty years ago George Lewis Richard, ex-cow- poke, gambler and graduate of the Klondike. who would shoot at the moon, even on cloudy night. con- ceived and built a new Madison Square Garden as a temple for box ing, wrestling and the circus.
 When Tex Richard officially opened his Temple of Swat, Dec. IS. 1925, he testified that he never seed anything like it."
 Were he alive today he would be further amazed at the qualifications and various events to which The House That Tex Built has mush- roomed.
 Rickard originally banked on box ing, the circus and six-day bicycle races. Track and field helped.
 Hockey, ice shows, the rodeo and finally college basketball came along to make the Eighth Avenue amphi- theater gold mine.
 The Garden has housed every kind of athletic contest and championship plus other forms of entertainment, has been rallying spot for civic, charitable and poh- tical crusades.
 Great musicians, including Pad erewski. Tuscanini, Victor Her bert. John Charles Thomas and Paul Whiteman wove their musical spells before its audiences. Presi- dential conventions were held there.
 In a week the Garden has been the stage for seven widely variant events.
 Rickard built reputation as 8 fight promoter by staging the Joe Gans-Battling Nelson and James J. Jeffries-Jack Johnson battles in the west.
 In 1919 Tex was prevailed upon by John Ringing of circus fame to settle in New York and take over old Madison Square Garden at 18th Street and Madison Avenue. They became partners.
 While there Richard picked up two other Lochinvars out of the west who were to exert a great in- fluence on his future as promoter "a couple of Jacks, Dempsey and Kearns.
 But the $250,00O anual rental left no profits for Richard and his packers readily agreed to his sug- geStion of a new Garden. Accord ingly on Feb. 6, 1925, ground was broken on the site of the old Eighth Avenue carbarns for the present Garden.
 Financially interested at the be- ginning besides Richard were Ring ling, Richard F. Hoyt, William F. Carey, James I. Bush, Matthew c. Brush, Walter P. Chrysler, Kermit Roosevelt, Sidney R. Kent and Col. John s. Hammond. They were the nucleus of the 600 millionaires.
 The ground was bought for $2,0O0,0O0, the building cost another $3,5OO,OOO.
 Although the new Garden didn't open officially until Dec. IS, 1925,

with the first hocKey game between the New York Americans and Mon treal Canadiens, the bike racers beat the gun with a six-day event starting Nov. 28. Gerald Debaets and Alfred Goosens winning. But for the record the frs, winner in what was to become the world s best-known sports palace was one William Heinsberg, who took the opening sprint race.
 The night after the mad pedalers left. basketball made it's debut with the Original Celtics, featuring Nat Holman, defeating the Was, N gton Palace combination, 35-3l. It was not box office attraction, receipts being only $500.
 Then came the first fight, Dec II, with Paul Berlenbach success fully defending the light-heavy- weight leadership against Jack De- laney.
 Basketball gave the Garden a wide berth until Ned Irish inau- gurated the college game there in 1884, featuring Notre Dame and New York University.
 From a modest beginning of eight double-headers wing 99,528 people in 1934-35, basketball last season reached the amazing total of more than 50O,0OO for 36 dates, including high school games and tournaments.
 The Garden has housed 32 world championship fights, but Rickard would be amazed to know that box ing now ranks fourth as a money earner. The rodeo, circus and ice shows, in that order, contribute most of the Gardens rich dividends.
 Tex Rickard lived to see the day when he had parlayed a nickers worth of lumber into a $50 seat and drew $2,658, 660 at Chicago's Soldiers Field with Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney.
 Too bad Old Tedge isn't around now to marvel at what The House That Tex Built has developed into, and exclaim that he never seed anything like it."
