By N. E. BROWN i TOLEDO, O., June 26. Something J like twenty-five years ago one George I
gambler and fortune seeker, climbed on board a boat at a Pacific port, headed for. Alaska. He picked up an acquaintance with another gentleman of the cards.- George Lewis Rlckard happened to drop the word that he hailed from Texas. When he bumped into a card game on deck a little while later his new found friend called out invitingly, "Come on, Tex; sit in." The handle "Tex" replaced the George Lewis part of Rickard's name
right then and there. If you d ask
anyone today if he knew George Lewis
Rlckard he'd say no. But "Tex" Rlckard is known around the world as the biggest fight promoter in the game a man who will gamble with hundreds of thousands of dollars to stage a big fight. - -Rickard's whole life has been one big gamble. , . v Had Little Schooling. His father died, when Tex was elev
en. The family was poor. Tex didn't
go to school a day after his father's
death. He picked up the education he has. He tells laughingly that he has
"a system" of his own for figuring. The Rlckard family was living in Missouri when Tex's father "died. The mother moved her family to Texas to raise it. Tex pays frequent tribute to the hardships she suffered in raising her children. The land where they lived was known simply as good cattle grazing land in those days. No one knw that It covered oil worth billions. Rlckard rode range for a time when he grew up. Later he became a professional gambler. He opened several big gambling houses In the west anl made them pay him. He won many fortunes and lost a few. He went to Alaska joined one of the Yukon rushes for gold. He went to Mexico, to Cuba, Central and South America, Europe and then Africa. He has hunted big game and fortunes . in all these places with success. He modestly admits that he owns 418,000 acres of wonderful grazing land in Paraguay where he spent just four years of his life in getting that land. The land Is well stocked with cattle. He has a big interest in one of the, great packing houses in Paraguay. - To the sporting fraternity, though, he is known more "for his United States oil holdings than his cattle, as far as business goes. 'Promoted Many Battles. Rlckard saw big money in staging
championship fights and has been the promoter in most all of the big ones in the last two decades. He promoted
the bouts at Goldfield and other places
in the west when Battling Nelson, Joe Gans and others of their time were in the limelight. With Jack Gleason he staged the tragic comeback battle of Jim Jeffries against Jack Johnson at Reno. Nev in 1910. The purse hung up for that fight was $101,000. The sporting world marveled at thechance Rlckard took. The fight netted him a fortune what with the gate receipts, the motion picture returns and the other concessions. Rlckard said at the time that the limit hadn't been reached as far as the magnitude of the finances connected with the mill were concerned. Rlckard has refereed, too. He referred the Jeffries-Johnson mill, but little effort was needed on his part that day. Jeffries was beaten when he entered the ring. Shrewd and Cold-Biooded. Rlckard today is what his life would tend to make him a shrewd, coldblooded plunger with a diplomacy and bearing acquired by years of contact with the world in general. He realized early in his connection with the fight game that what he needed most was publicity, and he has become a past-master in getting It. He figures out the- publicity . angle in every move.

Reds Of 1919 'Way Ahead Of Standing A Year Ago CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 26. The 1918 Cincinnati baseball club. made a very, creditable shoving on the season. It was. a good team, played some very fine ball at times and wound Up . In third place. The 1917 team also came through in fairly good shape. But this year's team Is so far ahead of both the 1917 and 1918 outfits at this stage of the race you can't blame Cincinnati faaa for being filled with pride. 1 ... . Wednesday morning the 1919 Reds had a record Qf 32 games won and 20 lost. The morning of June 25, 1918, the Red'a record read 24 games won and 33 lost. On the same date in 1917 the record was , 31 games won and 35 1qL Th.e-1517 season - opened April 11
and the 1918 year began April 16;
This year the playing season start
ed April 23. so Pat Koran's club has
certainly, accomplished a great improvement over, the last , two seasons by winning more games than either the 1917 or 1918 teams did up to this date.

the Willard-Dempsey bout shows that. Rickard is forty-nine years old. He is unusually tall and slender. He likes silk shorts, but doesn't dress gaudily, as the average bug might
think. And Tex's friends of twenty years ago would smile if they could see Jess walking along with a dainty little cane hung on his arm, dropping past the place where he carried "gat" in the old days. .

STRONG LINEUP TO OPPOSE NEXT TEAMS ON LOCAL SCHEDULE
After Richmond was let down last Sunday in one of tne closest games witnessed for some time, the management has planned to put up a regular battle front for the next two games, the first one next Sunday afternoon with Muncie, and the next on July 4 with the strong Newcastle Maxwells.'. Muncie will use the same line-up as in the previous games, according to reports from Muncie. Manager Shad Cunningham Is trying to get a strong lineup, but as baseball men are scarce, he is finding it a tough proposition to secure good new players. One change will be made in the
Richmond lineup for this Sunday...
Instead of Bill Rainey, Gus Felix will play the initial bag. Rainey will play
with Farmland next Sunday, as he is already booked . there. The Richmond management will try to secure
his services later if Gus Felix does
not make good at first.
Felix Has Reputation. Manager "Bugs" Winterman be
lieves that he baa a first class initial
sacker in Felix, as several major league clubs were said to be after
him - this year. Fellx entered professional baseball in the Georgia
league and later played with Birmingham in the Southern association, un
til the war. when he entered the service and i played with Dave Robert
son s team.
Immediately upon his release from
the service he was sought by several
league clubs, but refused their offers
as his mother who is aged, asked him not to play. However, as he wishes to keep in form he will play with the
Richmond club, Winterman wrote
Eggemeyer Thursday. Felix is a heavy
hitter and I aftrordlne-'tA WlTitPMnAW.
is the best first baseman .at : Cincinnati not already signed. ... ... v In the same letter Winterman wrote that Jake- Fromholz would be willing to come to Richmond on July 4 to
pitch against the Maxwells. No other
changes in the lineup will be made
iqt me next two games, it is believed. " .. .w- -:.
PROTESTED
BY WAYNE WORKS
Manager Stansberry of the Wayne works club has protested the Wayne
Works-Jenkins Vulcans game which
was called on account of rain last Saturday. ; Although the game was called after
the fifth inning was started, the Wayne
Works club ' feel that it has grounds for protest However the game, it was understood, was not protested at
ithe time.
The protest was handed to President Sam Vigran this week. He will turn it over to tb committee on pro
tests, Elmer Eggemeyer. Will Reller
and Harry Patte, for a decision. Stansberry alleges that the JenldnsVulcans team stalled and slowed the game in order to delay the play, first by not showing up on time, second by not starting the game when the umpire called the play, and third, three of the players of the Jay-Vees did not appear in uniform, which is supposed to mean they did not intend to play. At the beginning of the fifth inninf the Wayne Works led in the scoring having the Jay-Vees blanked 3 to 0. If that Inning had been completed the game would have been official. The game may be declared forfeited by the Vulcans and awarded the Workers, 'it is understood.

You Should Not Worry About Warm Weather CHURNGOLD feffi Handle it as you would butter that's all. When butter gets warm, it gets rancid, and you eat poor butter or throw it away. When Churngold gets warm just cool it with cool water or ice and it is as fresh and good as ever. Churngold contains no butyric acid and does not become rancid like butter. Churngold is the highest grade oleomargarine on the market today and is in a class by itself. On hot biscuits, toast or potatoes, it melts like butter, tastes like butter and cannot be detected by anyone. Use Churngold through the summer and let the saving
on your butter bill pay your ice bill.
