Tex Rickard Plans

Found this in an old newspaper. Part of an interview with famed promoter Tex Rickard on plans for Dempsey following the Carpentier fight.

"...I can't see a good bout for Dempsey that would be a card for the arena (Boyle's Thirty Acres). The only heavyweight in sight now is Fred Fulton and he's not enough of an attraction to fill the stadium. Fulton ought to be a good card for the Garden and I wouldn't mind putting him on with Dempsey if he would go out and work himself up a bit." This while Harry Wills waited in the sidelines.
