TEX RICKARD, if he were alive
today, would be incoherent at
the turn of fistic events de
priving Madison Square Garden of
its once dominating position in the
Big Town's promotion activities.
Tex never “seed nothin' like it.”
Ebbets Field, the outdoor scene
cf Jimmy Johnston’s activities, has
been landing the heavyweight fea
tures that Rickard would have been
uggling all by himself in the old j
days. Tex had plenty of obstacles
to hurdle, politically and otherwise,
but either he had an ace in the
hole or outbluffed the other fel
low.
Sometimes he was obliged to
buy out a rival, to keep control of
a situation. He was willing to do
so because he knew there were al
ways a number of boys around
ready to jump on him and pin him
down, if the opportunity presented.
That's the kind of a racket it
was and still is, with some varia
tions.
Madison Square Garden, of late,
not only has been jumped on but
kicked around. It still has strong
connections and the best indoor
fight arena in New York, but the
millionaire directorate set up dur
ing Rickard’s waning days no long
er has control of the heavyweights
or any other division.
As an example, the Queensboro
A. C., over in Long Island City,
has landed Earl Mastro, the sen
sational Chicago featherweight, for
another of its big summer shows.
Last winter, Mastro was the talk
of the Middle West, a great card
and, obviously, a logical choice for
a headline bout at the Garden.
But the connections weren't right
and the Garden could not get Mas
tro again, although he had boxed
there once before. The same
Queensboro club was featuring the
two young heavy sensations, Ham
as and Retzlaff, while the Gard
en struggled with new talent shows.
Quit Lioh's Den
The University of Vermont is one
of the few small colleges, in these
times, willing and courageous
enough to refuse to be “fed to the
lions” of football.
"We are planning an all-small
college schedule, instead of one oi
two large games as we have here
tofore done,” writes S. C. Abbell
Vermont’s garduate manager. "Thu
has come as a result of lack ol
reserve material to compete with
the larger teams for the time be
ing.”
Vermont has a squad of only 2E
men. Like other small New Eng
land colleges, in years past, it has
accepted early season or "breather'
dates with the big universities
largely for financial reasons.
The smaller college usually is
"run over” in these games. The
morale as well as condition of its
squad suffers. Vermont seems tc
think it is no longer worth it and
has, therefore, struck a blow for
those who advocate college foot
ball teams staying in their class,
whether they are big or small.
Top Hat Public Golf
St. Paul’s picturesque municipal
golf links, the Keller course, has
stimulated the public-fee players
who participated in the recent na
tional championship tournament
there.
The greens, the fairways and
the equipment, of private club pro
portions, dazzled the boys who are
used to standing in line half the
night for a chance to battle their
way around most of the big city
public courses.

Saratoga Cup is not as rich as
nany races that have been won by
Sunbeau. last year it paid Gallant

>f the most famous of American
rack events. Some of the great

lator, for instance, won it three
’ears in succession, in 1920, 1921
ind 1922. My Own won it in 1923,
dad Play in 1925, Espino in 1926.
