RICKARD FUCKED

Politics Played by Disgruntled
Bidders for Fight to Queer
the Game.
DOUBLE CROSSED
THEM AND WHIP
Sporting Man Jells Some Inter
esting Gossip of Why Gov
ernor Qillett Frowned
on the Mill.
NEW YORK, June 21.—Some In
»lde history of the policies that hai
surrounded the Jeffries-Johnson flghl
and driven It rrom San Francisco wai
told to-day by a prominent sporting
authority, who has returned from the
coast.
.“Tex Rickard and Jack Gleason
have been double-crossed and whip
sawed to a frazzle," he said. “There
were a lot of 'native son' promoters
who were wild when Gleason and
liickard coupled up and secured the
fight.
Tex I p Against n.
“Jimmy Coffroth and Tommy Mc
Carey had both put In bldH and been
beaten. So when Rickard first visited
San Francisco, he saw what ha was
up against. He was boldly told he
couldn’t get a light license. Rather
than be held up, he made a deal with
Tom Williams, who owns the Emery -
\llle race tracks, to hold the fight
there. But these ’Frisco politicians
got busy with the ministers, and "11
Hams balked. Then Rickard bad to
make the best possible terms tn
'Frisco, but the politicians there got
an awful big 'cut.'
“It Is good for Rickard that he Is
to hold the fight In Nevada. That is
his home, and he will get a square
deal there.
"It Is rumored on mighty good au
thority in the West that the moving
picture people have agteed to pay
the purse of $101,000 In addition to
the $150,000 they have paid for the
picture rights. The moving picture
people do not care whether anybody
sees the flght. The fewer people who
seed the actual fight, the more to see
the pictures later.
$10,000 to Brest Even.
“So all Rickard will have to do
to break even will be to take In $40,
000 at the gate In Reno, if the fight
is held there, to reimburse ntmself for
the money he spent In arranging for
the battle, e wll do that arid break
even, but Its dollars to doughnuts
Rickard Is through with the 'Ightlnp
game. He has been double-crossed
once too often. "

WANTED TO SEE COP|
COST HIM FIVE SPOT
John Lewis, a negro, thought he
1 was a great practical Joker until
I Tuesday morning when Justice Crutch
Held gave him the double-cross and
took all notion of humor out of his
cranium. John telephoned from far
out on Ashland street—In the eighteen
hundred block—to the police station
asking that officers be sent to the
scene at once as there was great dis
order and probable murder In progress.
He repeated his message a few min
utes afterward. Bicycle Policeman
Knergel had Just called In and when
he received the message from head
quarters he went to the scene. No
; one was present but John Lewis, who
was laughing at the "Joke” he had
played on the blueeoat. Lewis was
1 taken to the station house, locked up
j for the night and fined J5 by Justice
j Crutchfield Tuesday. Now he is in
| the pen wondering who the Joke Is on.

Two box plaits cover the shoulder

The fashion of holding the skirt 1

iAVING LIVES IS VERY _
EA8IE8T THING HE DOES
(Special to The Richmond Virginian.)
NORFOLK. June 21.—When Arthur
H. T. Ireton, threw himself in front j
of a runaway horse and wagon yes
terday morning about 11 o'clock on j
Granby and Eleventh streets and ,
stopped the frightened animal. It was !
the fourth perhaps serious accident
of the kind this young veteran of the
Boor war has prevented since Christ
mas.
Mr. Ireton now holds five medals and
four diplomas, all of which were
awarded him In South Africa, before
he came to America to live, for acts
of bravery. His courage In Norfolk
has yet to be rewarded.
"Oh, there was not very much to
It," said Mr. Ireton yesterday afternoon
in discussing the runaway on Granby
street. “I saw the frightened horse
pulling a wagon coming down the
street and with hopes of saving life
and limb stepped out Into the road- j
way and fortunately managed to pull
the animal down. Anyone else would
have done the same thing I suppose.”
The wagon belonged to Contractor
Mains and the horse became frighten
ed somewhere near the Tenth street
bridge. Mr. Ireton held the team until
the negro driver appeared. No one
was hurt.
Friends of Mr. Ireton are consider
ing very seriously the matter of pre
senting his name to the Carnegie Hero
Fund Commission and ask that he be
rewarded for his acts of bravery.

NAUGHTY WEEDS
CHOKING GOOD CROPS
Complaints have been sent to the
Department of Agriculture from some I
sections in the State that wild mus
tard is spreading in the pasture and
grain fields. Commissioner Kolner
says this is a bad weed to allow to
go to seed, and that the farmers
should cut it down as much as possible
before it forms seed. Cnless this is
done, it will become a serious pest In
a few' years. He says the eradication
of this and other bad weeds will be
fully discussed in his next report.

BUTBONDEXACTEDi
No Positive Proof of Theft, But
Morgan's Reputations is
Not Good.
Upon a warrant sworn to by John
Hoffbrauer, William Morgan, a youns
white man, was arralnged In police
court Tuesday morning on the charge
of stealing one chicken of the value
of seventy-five cents. The testimony
against him was not conclusive—w-as
very contradictory—and he was ac
quitted of the charge of petit larceny.
But In the past Morgan's reputation
with the court has not been the best,
and Justice Crutchfield ordered him
to furnish security In the sum of »100
for his good behavior for six months.
Morgan, per se, went to Jail.
Unless Justice Crutchfield relents
and relieves the young man of the
bond after he has remained in custody
for a few days. It w»ere better that a
conviction of petit larceny had been
registered—for then the punishment
would not have exceeded thirty days.

new bunch of stamps which cam*- ui '
Monday." whispered one startled
clerk.
Investigation proved differently. An
indent and huge clock in the mulling
division had fallen from its high perch
on the wall. Maybe it feared the pres
ence of si* postoffice inspectors, who
ire making an annual investigation of
the affairs of the Richmond office.
Perhaps the great timepiece thought
It would divulge secrets. But. at any
rate, it fell with a crash.
The mishap occurred Monday about
midnight. The clock is nearly five j
■ eot long. Its huge face not only told I'
[he hours and minutes, but designated •
:he day of the week and month. It
«'us considered a masterpiece of the ]
rlockmaker's art. ,
For years it had Its place in the
old postofflee, and when the tempor- ]
iry Quarters at Seventh and Frank- i
iin streets were moved into the clock |
was also transferred. ,
Though badly wercked. Custodian
Benj. A. Arnold has taken charge of : ■
ihe big timepiece and will have It re- :
paired. ,
The old clock would prove a fitting ,

"What de’ye know about this here
school for intructions for police that
the big squeese Is gettln' ready to
open." usked the retired cop of his
friend, the Pinkerton man. who is in
Richmond on his summer vacation.
"Swell doin's,” remarked the
"Pink." "It s the real imported new
shoe-tell cheese that is, providin' he
gives 'em the right dope.
"Trouble is. though,” ruminated the
"Pink," as he leaned over, reached
in the retired cop's breast pocket and
extracted therefrom a very elongated
stogie, "trouble Is,” he continued, af
ter lighting up and getting the weed
started, "that this here Major Worm,
or whatever the gink's handle Is. is
