Mr. Raymond seems to thrive on
mystery. For reasons not disclosed
he has failed to name the men sup-
posed to be behind him In the ven-
ture of boxing critics have made
numerous guesses. ranging from
Paddy Mullins. manager of Wills.
to Tex Rickard himself.
In fact. many of the opinion that
Rickard is using Raymond as
smokesCIeen for reasons best known
to himself. This idea has been in-
lluenccd by the fact that. Flrpo is
said to have signed with Raymond
for 8250.000 after Rickard had stop-
pcd bidding at 3200.000. it is not
believed that Rickard would net
850.000 stand between him and any-
thing he wanted. and the under-
standing is that he covets the at.-
traction in question rather entity.
The assumption. therefore, is that
Rickard is behind the mysterious
syndicate. this impress on being
heightened by the fact that he is
believed to have Firpo tied hand
and foot to some sort of all agree-
ment.
If Rickard is the man. the bout
will go neither to Pennsylvania nor
Connecticut. unless it is batrzd in
this state. The promoter has the

Of all the stars Gertrude Ederle

holds but four. Together they hog
the glory. '

February Picked as
Month for Work ——
Many Are Asked to
Aid 1n Work
NL‘V YORK. Feb. 11.-—To stimu-
late interest in its intensive “pre-
paredness" campaign. the American
Olympic committee has issued a
‘ bulletin proclaiming the entire
month of February as iympic
month" in the United Stall Gen-
eral Alien. executive oifieer’ of the
committee announced from his new
headquarters 305 Broadway. today.
The committee calls‘upon sporting
clubs college and fraternity societies
Boy Scout groups. playgrounds as-
sociations. Kiwanis clubs. Merchants
associations and other civic. athletic
and educational organisations
throughout the country to devote sp-
propriate activity during the month
of the nationwide movement now
under way to train and equip an all
champion team of 350 athletes to re-
present the United Statcs in the
forthcoming; Olympiad at‘ Paris.
Mass meetings. school exercises and
local drives in behalf of the cam-
paign to raise $850,000 to defray
the team's expenses feature the pro-
posed program for the four weeks.
As an aid to local groups partic-
ipating in the program. the clam-
mittee has prepared a, pamplet, en-
titled “Back the United States
against the World"an and embodying
a brief sketch of the classic games
from the tune of their ancient in-
cepdon up to the present.
The purpose of the revived games
and the committee‘s primary. aim to
demonstrate filerican supremacy in
the field of Outer-national athletic
sports at the forthcoming contests
which are to open in the French
capital next June are stressed
throughout the brochure. Copies of
the booklet are being mailed to in-
terested organizations in virtually
every city and town in the country.
In a “personal message to all
those who believe in upholding
Amc1lcan traditions for clean sport-
manshlp" which constituts the lore-
word of the pampiet. General Allen
outlines the committee's aims in part
as followa:
"The Eighth Olympiad. already
the centre of world wide interest.
will be held in France in the sum-
mer of 1924. The Olympiad games
constitute a challenge to American
prowess. If the United states is to
be worthily represented in the con-
tests. we must see to it that all our
champions are .sent across the sea
to particlpatelln them.
"Participation cannot be left
wholly to private initiative nor can
the voyage bempde a drain upon
private .resources. Athletic ability
does not follow in the-line of wealth

colors in the next Olympiad are
young» men who are—making their
own way through college. or who are
just beginning to make-their way in
business. They could not afford to
become out athletic representatives.
if forced to depend wholly upon
their own resources.
"It is therefore. probably the
duty of the American public to rally
to the support. of its . prospective
Olympic contestants and 'assure
them the necessary financial back-'
