RICKARD LOSES ABODE SI,I EACH DAY AT GARDENS Tex Wishes the Democrats Would Hurry Up and- - Out. ZSy C. A. RANDAU, riißf. Staff Correspondent CONVENTION’ HALL, MADISON SQL'ARE GARDEN, NEW YORK. July 8. —Monday was a warm, sticky day in New York. That caused Tex Rickard's losses for the day to amount to from 51,000 to 13.500. For If Rickard, who Is the lessee of Madison Square Garden, had not had the Demoeiatic national conventiqn on his hands he would have taken $3,000 to $5,000 from the New Yorkers in search of a cooling swim. From June 15 to autumn each year Rickard turns the massive garden into a swimming hole for sweltering Manhattans. On holidays, according to Rickard, he ordinarily takes in what he terms "real money." This is particularly true when the holiday is a hot one. July 4 was such a day. and as a result Tex figured he Jost about $7,000 by having Democrats rather than bathing beauties as his guests on that day.

SI,OOO A Day "Call it about SI,OOO per day since the first of June and you’ll have about the correct figure for my losses,” Rickard said last rjight. Tex has no regrets. He knew U would cost him iponey and whether it costs a little more than he anticipated doesn’t make a great difference. “But naturally, I hope they’ll get through pretty soon. 1 don’t want to have to wait too long in the season to get this plunge operating. It will take me three days to get the place in order when this show breaks up.” The city of New York has blown in a cool million dollars on the Democrats. that is the cost of getting the convention here, of fixing up Madison Square Garden and of entertaining the visitors. It cost the city $205,000 to induce the Democrats to come here. The bill for fitting out Madison Square Garden with seats, platforms and decorations amounted to SBO,OOO. Four immense Klleg lights installed to aid photographers in shooting people and events cost SBSO per day. for rental and operation. The lights were taken out on Sunday. The bill was too high. The band has set the city back almost SB,OOO for the first two weeks of the. Convention. The loud speakers wei'e installed and operated for the ficßt five days for a total cost of jf1.200. Since then they have cost *SIOO per union day with $12.50 per hour for overtime.

New York's million was raised both from public and private sources. The city gave 5200.000. The convention committee raised $227,000 when it became necessary to outbid San Francisco with its offer of $200,000. Rickard came through with an advance of 555.000, making New York's total “gift” or bonus to the Democratic national committee $205,000. This amount will be repaid Rickard. The rest of the mil’ion was raised and a cut by some sexty entertainment committees, forty-eight of which were made up of former residents of each State of the Union, and the others of New Yorkers assigned to a particular branch of entertainment. The most expensive bill of en tertainment offered the delegates was the June 29 excursion to Westpoint which cost $16,000. Nearly 5,000 delegates and friends made this trip.— A recept'tn for wives of delegates and women delegates cost $6,000. Figures Not Ready Figures on just how the Democratic party will ceme out of the rffair from a financial stand point have not been compiled. Most of the $205,000 received from the city went to pay back debts. The rest was used to pay the cost of the convention. as was also a larger portion of the campaign contributions that have come in to date. Chairman Hull of the national committee last night said a full report of the committee's expenses here in New York would be made available soon after the convention adjourned. “It will be a larger bill than we had in San Francisco, though the fact that fcr the first time in the party’s history we have been working on a budget basis, will materially cut down what would otherwise have been a prohibitive total,” Hull declared.

ESTRUCTIVE brains! Slowly L-a I opened my eyes; I yawned gloriously, drawing deep lown into my lungs the winelike air I raised my hands over my head and stretched until my toes touched the foot of the bed. 1 was conscious of my silk pajamas, the linen sheets, the silken coverlet. Through the open window I could see, in the distance, the green-clad mountains: closer, I could observe the seventh green of the golf course. I rolled over on one side, burying my face n the downy pillow, to hide from the obsequious waiter the sudden mirth that had overwhelmed me. The lifting, ten minutes ago, of the telephone that stood on a table by my bed. had been enough to wake into activity not merely this man, but half a dozen others, all of whose energies and thoughts had been directed toward the satisfaction of my wants. Oh, I tell you, I who have known direct poverty, that luxurious ease is worth the sacrifice of any principle. And I should know! Had I not followed the path of honor across a bloody field in France, to learn that honor mocked me? Had I not adhered to ail those righteous rules which the strong have laid down for the enslavement of the weak, and seen that adherence lead me from boarding-house to tenement, from tenement to slum, and from slum to the edge of the grave? Honor had brought me starvation. What cant would term dishonor, had brought me a full stomach. Well. I had done with cant. The world had its rules: one must be productive or constructive, said the world. There was no place for those who belonged in neither class. And yet the lying world gave its best in place, in esteem, in what it terms success, to those outside those rigid categories. Steal, and be jailed; but steal enough and be honored. Kill, and be hanged; but kill sufficiently, and be enthroned. The rules were made for the herd; but I, John Ainsiey, was

no lamb to be shepherded. I wa. he wolf who preyed outside the fold tnd I had tasted meat. No more vhile rascals stuffel themselves would I go hungry. I had destruc ive brains. I would use them. Yet I would use them as a gentle man must always use his strength for though I discarded morality, breeding could never leave me. Not upon the lambs, nor upon the shep herd, but upon the beasts of prey who lurked outside, would 1 feed.

KERNOCHAN SHOWED ME A RING. And I was savoring now the luxury of my first kill. In New York the famous jeweler Daragon—a cur at heart —mourned the loss of a bauble wherewith he had hoped to force a woman to his will, but with which I had forced the world to my will. Here in this resort hotel I rallied forces that had been exhausted by months of suffering when 1 had piayed the game according to the silly J rules that I now derided. For a moment or two, after the

waiter had gone, I merely looked at my breakfast. There was a certain joy, not explainable to those who have never starved, in looking a: the iced grapefruit, the yellow ome let and t|pe golden toast. And then eager appetite mastered me. 1 laughed as I found myself reaching for a fifth slice of toast. I must remember that times had changed ind that it. was not necessary for ne, to overeat; as inevitably as the lotel clock struck one, so would 1 unch. Last year, when the scanty, oarse meal before me must do in" ■ day, or two days, or even three, t was all very well, even vitally lecessary, that I clean the plate, flit now I could permit myself a lamtiness forbidden not so long igo. And as I replaced the toast upon the dish, I remembered that 1 had promised to be on the first tee it 10 o’clock. 1 looked at the clock m the wall, found that I had but a half-hour in which to dress, and reaped from the bed. I was shaved and bathed, and attired with a certain correctness possible only to a gentleman born, and was at the appointed place, exactly on the hour. My opponent was awaiting me, watch in hand.

“Thought you might have changed your *mind, Mr. Ainsiey,” he said t<> me. “Am I late?” I asked. He grinned offensively. “Oh you’re in plenty of time,” he answered. “For a beating!” he added. I looked at him; a tall, burly man, with protruding blue eyes, and thin sandy hair, he was exactly the type which, for some reason, is most offensive to me. I find that men with those characteristics, especially if their Adam’s apples are very large, are usually vulgar braggarts. He was not the person whom I would have selected as my opponent. But last night, in the dining-room, an elderly gentleman with whom I had struck up a casual acquaintance on the course—l had played the last nine holes *vith him ,and he had complimented me on my play—asked me to his table for coffee. He introduced me to his wife and to his daughter, and to my opponent of today, Ernest Vantine, whom I took to be the fiance of the daughter. Kernochan, my elderly friend, expatiated on my prowess to his prospective son-in-law. Whereupon Vantine promptly challenged me to a match. In the course of our conversation I mentioned that, during a leave of absence in the war, I had played Westward Ho, in England, in eighty-one. Vantine had shown an immediate disbelief in my statement.

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS—By BLOSSER

He remarked that he nad seen me driving, and that I didn't look like iin eighty-one player to him. “In fact.” he had added insolently. •‘l'd be willing to bet five hundred dollars that you can’s beat me, and I'm never below eighty-five.” I Veminded himi that I had played but little in recent years, and hat I had no doubt that he could beat me. Whereupon he had sneered ind remarked that he always found it thus; people talked low scores, but when it came to rein forcing conversation with money, they usually 'crawled into their holes. His fiancee, Miss Kernochan. aplauded his statement. I regretted that courtesy toward an elderly man had led me into the indiscretion of joining his table. For Kernochan was as vulgar as his daugh ter’s lover. And suddenly, when Vantine began telling every one within earshot that he had “called my bluff,” an unreasoning anger possessed me. I accepted hi3 challenge. So, here I was upon the first tee the cynosure of a large gallery many of whom privately wished me luck, but all of whom were hopeless of my ability to defeat a man who I had learned last night was the best player in the resort. He had lied when he stated that his best game was 85. ‘According to my informants, and well-wishers of to day, Vantine was capable of 78. He had won a great deal of money by making unfair matches with strangers, goading them into wagers Well, it was my own fault. i asked sympathy neither from the gallery nor from myself, but played

the best golf I knew. It was not good enough to beat Vantine; it was not good enough, so lacking was I in practice, even to give him an argument. The match ended 6 and 5, on the thirteenth green. I acted becomingly, I hope. I promptly congratulated Vantine, and immediately paid him the wager. He took it without shame. Nor lid Kernochan or his daughter seem io think that Vantine had acted otherwise than as a gentleman should. In fact, people told me ihat it was Kernochan's habit to engage in a match with any newcomer to the hotel, and then praise he stranger’s play to Vantine. who would promptly badger him into a .match and a bet. But I smiled as these things were told to me. I had been silly, and being silly is apt to prove expensive. I never mourn spilled milk. Instead, I look for a dairy. That night I was as cordial at dinner as though nothing untoward had occurred.' Miss Kernochan invited me to make a fourth at

It is now recommended and sold in America, by reliable druggists only, with guarantee of satisfaction or money reiunded. "SAN-GRI-NA” does not reduce fat people over night.

| bridge, and I accepted. We played 111 : the Kernochan apartment, and I ' won a few dollars. But I did more j than that. I won the liking of old Kernochan, and even the sour-fea-tured daughter and her pop-eyed lover were quite cordial. Kernochan, like all parvenus—he was obviously that— talked continuously of his wealth. I learned that he was a retired broker, and that Vantine was of chief owner of a detective agency that bore his name. This latter fact came out when Kernochan showed me, as proof of his great wealth, a ring which he had given his daughter upon her engagement to Vantine. He brought it from an inner room. “The setting is a little loose, so Alice isn’t wearing it,” he told me. “I shall have it fixed in New York next week.” I admired the ring. An enormous ruby, it was worthy of the warmest admiration. And I, who had dealt so successfully with another ring not so long ago. eyed it with longing appreciation. I encouraged the old vulgarian to tell me about the stone. (Continued in Our Next Issue)
