! RICHMOND, Oct. 30.-Demo-

an unsolicited pat-on-the back
from President Eisenhower who.
in his bid for Virginia's IL cleo
toral votes, had to be reminded
to indorse the Republican nomi-

There was no mishap such as
there was in 1852 when the
speakers platform collapsed
under Mr.. Eisenhower at the

most a political mishap at Byrd

vivid impression of our West

fof unionism displayed by Fed
Ieral workers in California. Such
groups as the National Fedora

solid membership gains, and the

ATCHISON'S S
ANGLE
By LEWIS F. ATcHlSoN

You'd be surprised at what a
little small talk" can lead to,
or would you?
Fellow called to ask the names
of the principals and date of the
first bout at Madison Square
Garden after boxing became
legal through the Walker Law
in New York and touched off a
chain reaction that has not yet
stopped. A little research eStab-
lished that Gov. Al Smith signed
the bill May rs, 1920. but the
book didn't pinpoint the first
bout in the Garden.
However, Dick McCann. re-
searching for a book written
around Damon Runyon's life,
covered that item and said it
was a 15-rounder between john
ME Dundee NEE Joe Carrora)
and one Joe yelling on Septem-
ber II, 1920.
Naturally the talk drifted
around to the -pre-legal days of
bootleg fights. and to Tex Rick
ard. probably the greatest pro-
moter of the century and un-
doubtedly the most colorful. Be-
fore the Walker Law-so-called
because it was the baby of dap
per Jimmy Walker. later mayor
of New York-it was illegal to
even sign the papers for a prize
fight IN the State. But that was
no obstacle to the resourceful
Rickard, a tough and leathery
gambler from the Nevada gold
fields.
When the time came to sign
Jess Willard. the heavyweight
champion. and Challenger Jack
Dempsey for their title bout in
Toledo, Rickard wanted the big
town publicity, but didn't want
to go to Jail. He solved the prob
lem by taking the two principals,
sportswriters and his staff on a
ferry ride to Weehawken, N. j.,
across the river from New York.
1t cost 3 cents a person and Tex
saved the return fare by signing
the papers in the ferry house
on the other side of the river
and walking back on the boat.
Richards gambling instinct
paid off in the Dempsey
Georges Carpenter bout in Jer-
sey City when the two rejected
his offer of a percentage of the
gate in favor of fiat guarantees.
1t didn't figure to be much of
fight, although Tex kept that
fact well guarded from the pub
lie. The Frenchman weighed 172
pounds to Dempsey'S 1873, and
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's man.
ager, is supposed to have walked
into Jacks dressing room before
the fight and said:
Take it easy on this fellow,
son. Give the fans run for
their money"
Kearns insisted on fiat $780,

1000 guarantee for his man. while
IDeScamps, Carpenters manager
settled for half that amount. II
was okay with Rickard. espe-
cially after he counted up the
take and found 81 ,626,580 in the
IT'LL.
Tex didn't always come out or
top. however. There was the
time he rounded up all the
sportswriters in New York ano
took them to st. Louis to wit
ness the ceremony of Gene Tun-
ney signing for his second bout
with Dempsey. Tunney was in
st. Louis at the time and hauling
the press that distance from New
York, in an era when plane
travel was virtually undreamed
of, seemed to be a sound pro-
motional gimmick.
En- route the boys got into a
poker game and Tex decided to
have a little fun by stacking the
deck. He won pot after pot,
breaking one writer after an
other. When it was all over
Rickard laughed and told them
what he'd done just to show the
crowd how an expert gambler
operated in the old days.
How much did you lose?" he
asked, turning to the writer next
to him.
Rickard took each in turn,
paid them all, and ended .up
some $400 short.

They had racketeers boxing in
those days too. but they ap-
|parently were smarter. The boys
arranged six bouts at the Hotel
iBlltmore ballroom to aid the
Marshall Stillman movement to
reform gangsters. And the ring
fraternity had its share of
bright boys as we'll as muscle
men. Take Pete Herman, the
bantamweight champion, for
example.
Pete was signed to defend his
title against Jimmy Wilde, the
English champ, in London in
January, 1921. But some time
before the fight the Herman
camp got wind, or thought it
did, of a plot to keep the title
in dear Of Lunnon town. 1t was
"a matter that called for solid
thinking, and Pete was up to it.
Re-reading the Wilde con-
tract, he found no stipulation
that he had to be the champion
when he fought Wilde to collect
his guarantee, so about a month
before the London bout, Herman
lost a 15-round fight and the
crown to Joe Lynch in New
York. Pete knocked out Wilde
in the 17-round. and the follow
ing July boxed Lynch again and
Iregained the title with a Is
round decision.
Everything was strictly on the
up and up, including Lynch.
