Amateur Dopesters Have Real
Low Down On

By William Slavens McNutt
(United News Stnft Correspondent)
ATLANTIC CITY. N. J., June 2sfj
I know all about the Dempsey
Carpentler fight now.
A number of men who know the
real truth have told me.
My first Informant was a man with
whom I made casual conversation
while leaning on the railing of the
board walk listening to the sad .song
of the sea waves. Ho asked, mo
what my line was and I told him 1
was writing pieces about the. fight.
"Its a shames I"1'' tt ? he said
bitterly.
I didn't know to what he referred
and told him so.
"Why dont you know?" he asked
me. "The fight's fixed. Its going
to be a fake. Its arranged for Car
pent let' to "win in the eleventh
round." ' 1 '
I admitted that this statement"
was news to me.
"Who told you?" I asked
"Kearns?"
"Kearna?" he said, "who's Kearns?"
"He's Dempse.N's manager."
"I never met him,' my informant
admitted. "But 1 got It straight
from n friend of mine; a fellow I
met on a train coming from Chicago;
a fellow by the name of . 1 for
get his name now. Harris or Bow
man or something like that. Any
how, he had .a cousin who was a
vaudeville actor and he played the
same theater with Dempsey once
out .west somewhere ,and he got It
straight. Carpentler in the eleventh
round. They're going to let him win
and then make a lot of money show
ing the pictures in "Europe. It's
a shame isn't it?"
"Are you sure its true?" I asked
him.
"Absolutely," he assured me. "I
got it straight.'
"How much are you betting?" I
asked him.
"Not a nickel. I wouldn't bet on
one of those things. They're
crooked."
Think of it! He could gel per
haps as high as 15 or 20 to 1 and
clean up a fortune and he won't lint

they were saying.
He was a wise
sny.
My next Informant was a man
with whom 1 rode the roller coastyri
in an amusement park.
"Do you think Dempsey can get
back into shape before the fight?"
he .asked me after wo had paid for
our ride and were descending theHiut, two Inches or more In places
steps to the hoard walk.
He seems to bo In good eondi -
Hon," I said.
The man laughed. "Aren't yon
wise?" he asked me, "why, he's out
hitting the high spots every night.
Drunk all the time.'
"Where does lie get drunk?" I
asked.
"All ovor the place," the man ex
plained. "Have you seen him soused?" 1
nsked.
i uaveni seen.iiim, uio man
admitted, "but everybody knows it'
true, 'lie's around drunk all the
tlnu. Didn't you know that?"
I admitted my ignorance. The
man smiled pityingly and went hi
way. I know what he ,was thinking.
It was this:
"What a dumb bunch these re
porters are. Paid to find ouk what a
kiiiiii; mi anii iney uon't Know as
much as the ordinal y man in the
stieet."
I know what is going to happen
though. The two men mentioned
above and a hundred or more like
them have told me. None of them
know either fight hi- nor anyone con
nected with either tainp, but they
know all about what Is going on
I've got all the inside dope from
the outside and if I had one kopeck
In Russian money which is the
equivalent of about one-mlllioneth of
one American cent, I might bet thai
much on the fight in this way:
Nobody who's talking or writing
about the fight, expert cr dub, knows
anything.

RICKARD, KING OF '
FIGHT PROMOTERS
By Henry L. Farrell,
(United Press Start Correspondent)
NEW YORK, June 28. Big money
comes only after big work, big
trouble and big worry.
Tex Itickard, king of all boxing
promoters, has learned this hi the
spectacular career that has made
him the blggesl figure In Hie sport
ing world.
'itickard has done big things, but
he had to work and worry to do
them and the returns haven't always
been in proportion to the risk In
volved. If the promoting king had been
inclined to iworry abnormally, lie
would have gray hair dating 'back
to 190G when he staged) the Gans
Nelson lightweight championship
bout. .
Gang, then the champion, and Nel
son wero dickering around for a
bout when a telegram came from an
unknown, one Tex Riekard, who was
running a gambling house in Gold
field, Nevada, offering $30,000 for
the contest.
Gans and .Nelson both laughed at
suhc a ridiculous offer and passed
it up as coming from a "nut" or a
publicity seeker. Riekard kept In
sisting, however, nnd finally ho pro
vailed upon them to come to Gold
field where he showed them fUO.OOO

Riekard was looked upon as a fit
subject for an insane asylum, He
had put up every cent he possessed
and was considered a sure lose but
he went through with the bout nno
made money, cleaning up about
$20,000.
The trouble he nad at Goldflold
was nothing compared to his expert
ence when he made his next big
step In the game by signing Jim
Jeffries and Jack Johnson to decide
the heavyweight championship for a
purse ot $120,000.
He had the fight all arranged and
an arena partly completed in Cali
fornia when the governor decided
that his state wanted nothing of the
big bout anil ordered Riekard out.
He had his fight all dressed, up and
no place to go.
Riekard dashed across the line
into Reno, Nevada, threw an arena
together and packed them in. The
lecelpts were close to $300,000.
The Willaiil-AIoran bout in Madi
son Square Garden was easy, except
he had to guarantee the big Kans.v.i
a fortune before he would consent
to meet tho blonde l'ittsburgher. He
made money on that fight also.
Bad breaks came when he was
getting ready for the Denipsoy-Wll
lard fight In Toledo. He tied himself
tip to a $127,500 purse but tho proj
pect was exceedingly rosy when tho
governor of tho Buckeye stato sane
tloned the bout and a big stadium
was complete.
However, the government, then In
charge of the operation of the rail
roads, ret used to give any special train
service and the immense stadium was
only partially filled. Riekard made
some money but not tfie amount he
was entitled to expect.
With almost a ear spent in getting
the principals signed, Riekard experi
enced similar 1 rouble with the Demp-sey-Carpentler
arrangements. But
most of the obstacles came early
when he had plenty of lime to make
other arrangements.
Riekard planned first, to gel the
champion and the Frenchman in the
ring at Madison Square Garden for n
purse of $500,000, of which $:(00,00o
was to go to Dempsey and $200,000 to
Carpentler.
The hugo size of the purse brought

more than $15 could be charged for a

This, of course, made it Impossible
to stage tho contest in the Onrden,
owing to Its limited seating capacity.
j Itickard then set his eyes on Sheeps

I Clovernor Miller then stepped in and
let It he known that the contest could

To remove the "big money scandal"
Riekard then succeeded In getting tho
principals to work, on n percentage
agreement by offering them fit) poreent
of the gate recelpta.
New Jersey went after the bout
then, in fact, invited It. Riekard was
assured that there would be no inter
ference and he selected Jersey City.
No rooner had New Jersey been nam-
ed as the site, than Governor Edwards
issued a statement that "as Ions as
the contest was conducted In accord
ance with the boxing laws. New Jersey
would be glad to have it."

MILLIONS IN TREASURE
IN MEXICAN. CVE
i 'By United Press''
SAN ANTONIO, To., June '28'
One man in the world knows the
location of the Cavnllo Blanco cave,
in old Mexico, and 'knowings It may
result In his becoming the possessor
of $73,530,000 in gold r.nd silver.
Adam Fischer, recently returned
from Mexico, said ho had relocated
the Blanco cave, with its great treas
ure trove. He discovered It once
before, but iwas unable to find it
when he returned,
Fischer Js now awaiting tho-'decision
of the Mexican government
on his application for a concession
to remove the hoard.
The story of the gold and silver
tuns and Spanish octagonal dollars
dates back to 1810. At that time, dur
ing a revolution against the Span
ish government, it is claimed that
officers of tho government and army
took the gold and silver from the
treasury and hid It in tho-Cavallo
Blanco cave, in the Cerro de Sllla
mountains, near Monterey, - In 'the
Stato of Nuevo Yeon.
Hundreds have spent their lives In
the search for the treasure, accord
ing to Fischer, but he alone has dis
covered Its hiding plnce.
If Fischer gains possession -of- the
great fortune ho plans to erect a
$2,000,000 monument on Alamo Plaza
to the heroes of the Alamo, and
also make other munificent munici
pal gifts. '
