INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE
For Delegate from Alaska
In his nearly thirty years residence in Alaska, Mr.
Marquam has shown himself to be a considerable boos
ter for the Territory one whose word is as good as
his bond, a friend of the under dog whose cause he
has never refused because the"client had no money:
He has played fair with all men.
Mr. Marquam stands equally well at Washington
as in Alaska. If he is elected Delegate, Alaska will
never have to flood Washington with telegrams,
denying false and libelous statements circulated by
her representative, attacking the fair name of the
Territory and its people.
A vote for Marquam is a vote for progress; a vote
for him is a vote for a booster, for one who can and
will get results: '
MARQUAM FOR DELEGATE CLUB
FORMER ALASKAN BEEN IN THE
PROMOTION GAME FOR TWEN
TY YEARS; DEMPSEY- CARPEN
TIER BATTLE WAS LARGEST
THURSDAY FIGHT BE LARGEST
Gate Expected to Eclipse All Former
Records Reaching Staggering Sum
of $2,000,000.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21. (JP)—
The Dempsey-Tunney heavyweight
championship battle in the great Ses
qui-Centennial stadium here Septem
ber 23 will be the seventh and prob
ably the biggest title spectacle Tex
Rickard has staged.
The New York promoter reached
the high mark for boxing when he
staged the Dempsey-Carpentier “Bat
tle of the Century” in the wooden
saucer at Boyle’s Thirty Acres, Jer
sey City, five years ago. That spec
tacle drew a crowd of 90,000 that paid
more than $1,600,000 to see the cham
pion’s four-round knockout of the
colorful Frenchman but Rickard ex
pects the forthcoming struggle to
eclipse these figures.
Twenty Years Promoter
* The promoter’s expectations are
that a crowd of more than 130,000 will
part with approximately $2,000,000 for
the evening’s entertainment, which
would lift the event to an unprece
dented level for any sports event.
It has been almost twenty years to
the day that Rickard made his first
plunge in pugilistic promotion, his ini
tial venture being the famous Gans
Nelson lightweight championship
event at Goldfield, Nev., on September
3, 1906. Since that day Tex has
mounted to a position as the foremost
promoter of professional sports in the
world, the head of a big corporation
whose business in New York annually
runs well into the millions.
Rickard’s first heavyweight fight
was the Jeffries-Johnson bout in 1910
at Reno, where it was shifted after
being barred from San Francisco,
That fight drew a record “gate” at the
time, S270.000, the top price being $50.
The only fights for which tickets have
been priced as high since then were
the Dempsey-Willard aiid Dempsey
Carpeuntier bouts.
Huge uaxe ncccipw
In six previous heavyweight title
battles Rickard' has promoted the gate
receipts have aggregated close to
34,000,000, of which $2,800,000 clicked
through the turnstiles for the last two
spectacles the promoter has staged.
