Important Angles to Braddock-Lomski Fistic Clash

By Times Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 18.— Indiana university’s basketball team this afternoon was to go through another long workout for the game with Purdue here Saturday night. Indiana freshman players, coached by Wally Middles worth, provided the Hoosier varsity with opposition galore in the workouts Wednesday and Thursday.

Thursday night the Deanmen were drilled in offensive combinations, which

THE LIFE OF TEX RICKARD i n u n .u n His First New York Venture Draws $150,000 Gate, Willard Beating Moran in Tame Bout; Dempsey Comes Into Prominence.

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Pres* Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1929, by United Press) Rickard rented old Madison Square Garden, New York and held the Willard-Moran bout there March 25, 1916. The match attracted a gate of $150,000, anew indoor record. Willard retained his title, but the bout was only significant in that it embarked Rickard upon his career as a promoter in New York City. It was probably the worst heavyweight title bout ever held, ten

they also employed on the "Purdue” team, enacted by the rhinies. There have been no shifts in the lineup for the Hoosiers. Captain Wells and Strickland are paired at forwards, with McCracken at center. Correll is a sure floorguard starter. Gill and Scheid will share the backguayd position. Purdue has not defeated Indiana on the Hoosier floor in four years. Although the Boilermakers have an impressive record of victories and hold the edge on Hoosiers in comparative “dope,” Indiana has a , team of veterans due for a “comei back.” The game will be broadcast S over WPBM, Indianapolis.

'CHAPTER VIII

rounds, no decision, with Willard getting the newspaper verdict in a slow fight. Tex now made up his mind to remain in the fight game for better or for worse. f Up until this time he could not be termed a bona fide boxing promoter as he promoted only three bouts in ten years from 1906 to 1916. Trouble came thick and fast for Tex once he became a fullfledged fight promoter. “I began to think everybody in the world was a crook,” Rickard said, in recalling those days. Politicians demanded their “cuts” on every fight. The complimentary list ran into thousands. Gunmen got jobs as ushers and insulted the customers. Every underhand method known was used to put him out of business. In the end. Rickard w h out; the old Garden became a paying proposition instead of a “white elephant,” and Rickard was established in New York City. Jack Kearns “sold” Jack Dempsey to Rickard. The promoter always thought Dempsey was too small before he won the championship. He liked big men. Just exactly when and where Rickard and Dempsey first met is not clear. Dempsey said the other day that he first met Rickard at Goldfield in 1911, but it is doubtful if Rickard was in Goldfield at that time. Dempsey did not begin fighting until 1915. “I was just a kid at that time and I doubt if Rickard remembered meeting me at all," Dempsey said. Anyway, Rickard first began to hear of Dempsey as a prizefighter around 1918. , Rickard did not put his finger on Dempsey and say, “There’s the next champion and the greatest drawing card the boxing game will ever know." Kearns was the only one who said that. Dempsey had been east in 1916 under the management of John the Barber and Lew Raymond, but he did not make a favorable impression. He won a ten-round decision over John Lester Johnson, but the big Negro caved in Dempsey’s ribs and laid him up for a time. In 1918 Dempsey returned east under the management of Jack Kearns. “This kid is the next world’s champion," Kearns told every one who would listen to him. Few did. Dempsey was matched with Fred Fulton, Minnesota plasterer, then among the outstanding contenders for the title. They met at Harrison, N. J., and Dempsey scored one of the quickest knockouts on record. The fight was over in seventeen seconds, with Fulton stretched on the canvas. (Saturday’s chapter relates story of matching of Willard and Dempsey at Toledo.)

Winner Tonight Will Be in Line for Chance at Title. JERSEY BOY GROWING James J. Has Punch; Opponent Favorite. By United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 18.— James J. Braddock brgke Pete Latzo’s jaw and knocked out Tuffy Griffiths, who came to New York with a record of fifty-five consecutive victories. What, then, can Braddock do against Leo Lomski, the Aberdeen (Wash.) slugger, who twice knocked down Tommy Loughran, light heavyweight champion, in the first round only to lose the decision after fifteen rounds? The answer will be supplied tonight in Madison Square Gardan when these two hard-hitting light heavyweights meet in a ten-round bout which may have an important bearing not only in the 175-pound class but the heavyweight division as well. Great Chance for Winner With Loughran about ready to forsake his light heavyweight crown to campaign in the unlimited division, the winner of tonight’s fight will be in direct line to succeed Loughran. Only Jimmy Slattery, the Buffalo boy who has’ been troubled by injuries and’lllness recently, will stand between the winner and a claim to the 175-pound title or a match with Loughran if he elects to defend his crown. Growing fast, Braddock may be a full-fledged heavyweight before the end of the year. The young Jersey City fighter has one of the best right hands in boxing. He broke Latzo’s jaw with one punch. Muldoon Boosts Him Among Braddock’s many admirers is Commissioner William Muldoon, who last sponsored James J. Tunney. Muldoon also took an active interest in James J. Corbett and James J. Jeffries. Braddock is only 23 and has won eighteen of his thirty-five bouts by knockouts. He has lost two decisions, one to Joe Monte of Boston and the other to Joe Sekyra of Dayton. Lomski has been idle recently, but has been made an 8-to-5 favorite in the betting because of his speed and aggressiveness, which may make it difficult for Braddock to ever land his right-hand punch.
