RICKARD BLOCKED IN PLANS ‘Tex' Steps on Powerful Toes and Runs Into Plenty of Trouble. By Henry 1., Farrell United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 2.—Renewed activity by the business rivals of Tex Rickard caused him to loae the Glbbons-Tunney match and have blocked him in the attempt to make two other big matches. Rickard had been allowed to do business without much interference until he stepped on some powerful toes when he secured the boxing privileges at the Yankee stadium. Since then he has had nothing but trouble. The action of the New York boxing commission in placing Jack Dempsey on the ineligible list made it Impossible for Rickard to arrange a Dempsey Gibbons or a Dempsey* Wills contest in New York. And the commission’s new rule that a licensed promoter In New York could not talk business with a suspended or ineligible boxer left Rickard unable to make matches for his Jersey City arena. The action against Denipaey, it is understood from reliable sources, was a political slHp at Rickard. The sudden change In the chairmanship, the. sudden action iu the Dempsey case and other moves made it look like orders had come from some other place. Rickard was trying to match Harry Wills and Tom Gibbons and it looked like the match would he i staged for the benefit of the Milk Fund when all negotiations were stopped suddenly. Rickard might have landed the Glbbons-Tunney match if he had bad time to get out and work for it. But he was being tried in Trenton for a conspiracy against the law in transporting fight pictures.
