Just as George Lewis Rick
ard was more than a fight pro-
moter-that's a pale term to
describe his career so Mr..
Samuels' book is much more
than an account Of some big
time sporting events.
Million Dollar Fight
It's true that Tex Rickard
promoted the first Million
dollar fight. the Dempsey
Carpenter affray at Boyles
Thirty Acres in New Jersey in
1921. and that he parlayed his
profits into a $2.658,00O gate
for the second Dempsey
Tunney fight in Chicago. It's
a fact that such feats of
pugilistic enterprise, dating
back to the Jefferies-Johnsou
meeting in Reno in 1910, made
Tex an International figure.
But it's also q matter of
record that the lanky ex-,
cowboy was q man to reckon
with long before that. He won
and lost several fortunes in the
Yukon gold rush at the turn
of the century. He was
shrewd enough to leave pros
pecting mostly to others and
to set himself up as entire
preneur of drinking and
gambling palaces. which often
were only tents or planks
nailed together overnight.
Clear Pictures
Mr.. Samuels not only has
portrayed in full color Tex's
melodramatic life. but has told
the story of the spirited era
he touched. with clear pictures
of many other men the great
promoter knew.
Tex was born in Missouri,
but when he was 4 his i'm

Welsh novelist, Is one Of the
most lyrical and skillful writers
IN practice today. The author
OF those memorable novels,
Nodded in Earth" and "Son
OF JUSTIN" has a new novel:
ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT
(Dutton; $2.75)..
This brief story. laid in old
time Wales. at the period of
the Napoleonic wars, but time
less IN its close-range scrutiny
OF q few persons, describes the
night Bedo Corris, the black
smith, and his 9-year-old son.
Quito, set of afoot across the
towering mountains. Bedo was
going after his wife, who had
run away with a drover as
powerfully built as the black
smith. The terrifying night is
seen through the boys eyes
the storm-swept road with its
clutching dangers, the river
roaring beneath. the uncer-
tainty Of the hours ahead
which would bring his fathers
inevitable fight not only with
the man who wronged him,
but with the latter's fellow
droyers. a rough. burly crew.
Again Mr.. Vaughan has
welded with poetic thongs
that wild countryside and
some Of It's people. with their
primitive lives, their old-fash-
Toned virtues and sins. The
story moves to its climax with
ever-tightening suspense.
