no peer. three days is sufficient in

gathering.
Tex put the matter up to “'llliard

on the condition that the naming of
the place and the date for the fight
be left to izickurd with the under-
standing. huwv-vcl'. tint the date must

Rickard announced at the session

that he has been authorized by Jack
Kenrns to sign the winner of the “’i1-
Jarrl-l-‘irpu contest with Dempsey.
“'illiard was tickled when he heard
Tex‘s announcement. “Nothing will
suit me better than to battle my con-
queror and I will sign for the fight
with Firpn if for no other reason
than to :«-t the chance to light Jack."
Jack lx‘ozirus. who was among those
present lwfure this articles were sign-
ed. saw Rickard previous to the ar-
rival of the principals. and at this
meeting licarns instructed Tex to sign

wr-ight champion.
The light between the winner

Day or Thanksgiving Day.
11' on the former. lloyle's Thirty

will be in Argentine.
Aflr-r the preceedlngs Tex. with a
broad smile. declared that he was
tickled lit the match.
"1 know that. this bout will bring
'in gate receipts of half a million or
more. and next to fight in which Jack
Dempsey is to meet the winner. 1

other than mine. i hove the con-
tracts now. and have also clinched the
bout with Dempsey.
“The champion and his manager.

Ni-I‘V YORK. .\lay lli.- Aileen llig-

‘liderlc. three of the foremost girl
snlmmcrs in this countr). defied the
rulings of the American Athletic
l'nlon when they started yesterday
{or a tour of Europe. They are to
compete in various mcnls whilc
abroad in May and June.
When the National Registration
Committee of the A. A. if. rcccntiy
refused to grant permits to its mem—
bers for international competition
iabroad prion to the Olympic games
5 ill
1924 a protest was made by the
! \Vomen's lemmim: Association in
that the ruling would prrvcnt ilii‘
proposed tour of its three members.
The commiltre stall-d that it feared
the health of athletes would be. jeo-
pardized by going "board. but Joseph
.\. Reilly. aitnrnvy of the. \V. S. A.
pointed to the records of tile “'0.

members had always been well cared
for. and he furthermore stated that
the same conditions would govern
the tour as provaibvd when the wo-
men competed in llli: Olympic games
of 1911".
Another objection of the A. A. U.
Was to the effect that it feared the
events abroad might be conducted
by individuals who would give no
thought of the swimmers amateur
standing. Its uuswcr to this objection
however. Reilly pointed out that the
Americans had been invited by l“.
Baxter and \V. J. How-croft of the
British Swimming Association and
by G. \V. llo-nrn or the international

full consent of their parents and up-
proval of their physicians. Miss
Charlotte lips-loin. 0m: of the lead-

The \\' S. A’s action in allowing
its members to sail against the
ruling of ill“ .\lllnli‘lll‘ Athletic L'n-

CAMBRIDGE. Mesa. May 15.—An-

Head Coach F. J. Muller. He has
announced that hereafter his efforts
will be directed towards the devel-
opment of two distinct creWs. one

A drastic shakeup was made in

encounter with Princeton and Navy.
Coach Muller announced that the
two crews Will be trained along quite

SCENE OF BOUT
Plans Being Made for Fight
in South America on
Nov. 3.
“l“il‘pi) and Dempsey would draw
twice as much money in Argentine as
they would here. Two million dollars
is a conservative estimate of the prob-
nble gate receipts. I don't mean to
say that South America is a honaza
for boxing in general. although the
—game is becoming more prosperous
there day by day. it is Flrpo. the
man himself. who would draw the
money. He is the biggest figure in
.\‘outh American interest.
"Why. fighting Jim Tracey. who few
considered a real opponent for him.
Firpo drew more than $100,000 a ca-
pacity crowd. at prices that scaled up
to the equivalent of more than $10!)
for ringside seats. “hen the time
comes Dempsey will be convinced lw- ’
yond all doubt of the greater financial
return in Buenos Ayrcs."
llei‘orc meeting “'illard, I-‘lrpo will
engage in two matches. and he will
travel far for lhclll. The first is
scheduled on June 3 at liivnna, with
Joe \"hite. The second will be fought
just two weeks later in Mexico City
with Jim Hubbard.
This will allow the Demon Angel
but thirteen days to return here for
the \\'illiard battle. Rickard no doubt
will object mightly to the prior bouts.
but the contracts have been signed
and delivered and Firpo is said to be
remarkable for never violating a.
promise given either orally or in writ-
ing. Moreover. he is to be richly re-
warded for the Mexican and Cuban
matches.
it is understood that he will collect
£6,000 for the Havana fight and 85.000
for the one in Mexico. as well as gen-
erous travelling expenses. Half of
the guaranteed sums is to be paid Fir-
po when he gets on the train en route
to the battle sites and the other half
forty-eight hours before he gets in the
ring. In addition to the cash Firpo
gets the exclusive moving picture
rights to South America. which will
not him even more than the
he is to receive.
Rickard is preparing to back up
the Willsrd-Firpo match with a set of
preliminaries calculated to make the
promotion just as attractive an event
as the liiiik fund show. He figures
on using Jack MeAulif'fe. lr‘irpo latest
victim. in the eemi—flnal. The De-
trolter's opponent may be Jim (Tiny)
Herman who bowled Al Reich over
last Saturday. -
Rickard considers this match more
attractive than a .\IcAulif‘t‘e-Floyd
Johnson bout which he originally had
in mind. Herman proved himself a
real tough bird worthy of more work
around these parts by the manner in
which be disposed of Reich. McAul-
it‘t‘e. despite his defeat by Firpo. who
can use a comb on his chest as well as
his h-aad, scored a big hit. Displaying
:1 most impressive brand of real box-
ing skill. he convinced many fans out-
side of Dempsey. Firpo. and perhaps
\Viilard he is a most formidable op-
ponent for any heavyweight.
McAulifL'e's new manager offered
to match him against any man Rick~
ard cared to select and was eager for
a shot a Johnson. Herman's manag-
er mado the same plea, naming Mc-
Aulifte and Johnson.
In one of the other preliminaries
Fred Fulton and Jack Renault may be
given the chance to renew their quar-
rel eo abruptly terminated on Satur—
day by a low punch.
Prise fighting is good business.
Jess Willard will get more than
$100,000 for his coming battle with
Luis Firpo and that is merely nickels
and dimes compared to what is in
sight for a Dempsey-Firm battle in
the Argentine. Always assuming of
course that Jess “'illiard doesn‘t ut
away the new “pampeced hull of e
pampu" and that. Tom Gibbons
doesn’t put out Dempsey’s light in

Apparently it has proved to be too
big a task for the youngster as he
has been relegated to the bench after

only ordinary success.

Jacobson. Big Jake's feet were al-

For a time this year McManus
was used at first. However. Fohl de-
cided it was poor judgment break-

Then Fohl hit upon Durst. the re-

than warm the bench for the Browns

Durst would fill the bill. In a two-

Judge Kenesaw M. Landls. direct-
or of organised baseball. sees in the
unprecedented crowds at the New
York Americans‘ new park and the
New York National League Polo
grounds this season s. grave and
alarhfning danger to baseball. the
possibility of top-heavy league races.
due to the increased financial
strength of the Yankees and Giants.
he said in an address here.
“The danger of the situation may
be merely theoretical." the judge
said. “but advance fears are seem-
ingly justified when one city is capa-
ble of sending 75.000 fans to a ball
game while another is restricted by
structural and population limitations
to crowds of! 25.000."
The judge said he had no sugges-
tions to offer designed to meet the
situation. but listened attentively to
a description of a plan in vogue In
the Southern League by which cities
of smaller population are enabled to
compete on even terms with larger
cities in the buying and assembling of
players. compared with the possibility
of the two New York clubs. with
great wealth obtainable through
enourmous attendance. outbldding
