MILK FUND Bouts
Jack Renault and Har-'
ry Wills Slated for
(ligant Park ’on- June
NEW YORK. April lr—As s. ro-
sult of a series of conferences yes-
terdsy the next two heavyweight
boxing matches here probably will
be follows: Gene Tunney vs. Tom
Gibbons at the Polo Grounds on
June 12; Harry Wills vs. Jack Re-
nault at the Polo Grounds on June
19. The Tunney-Gibbons sffsir will
be under the direction of Polo
Grounds A. C.. for which Jimmy De
Forest is matchmaker. The Wills-
Rensult tilt will be the main event
of the show being arranged by Hum-
bert J. Fugssy for the Italian Hos-
pital Fund.
Fuguy also expects to have on
his program a match between Mick-
ey \Valker and Harry Greb at the
middleweight limit. Fugasy and
Greb. who is now in the city. will
confer today. Walker is‘willing to
box Greb if the New York State Ath-
letic Commission will reinstate him
for the charity shew. '
The Milk Fund card. scheduled at
the Yankee Stadium on May 29. with
Gibbons and “‘ills combetting es the
piece de resistance. is now in a hazy
condition. The information which
comes to the writer is that the com.
mission is not disposed to sanction
s. Wills-Gibbons scrap because of the
discrepancy in height and weight
between the negro and the St. Paul
boxer. ‘
Eddie Kane. Gibbons‘ manager. ar-
rived yesterday afternoon fmrn Chi-
cage. in company with De Forest.
Kane immediately issued an ultimo-
tum to Paddy Mullins. “'ills‘ man-
sger. that unless the negro accepted
the offer to box Gibbons for the
Milk'Fund by noon today he would
pass up Wills and close with De
Forest for a Gibbons-Tunney scrap
at the Polo Grounds.
Mullins had stated last week that
he would not give I. decision until
April 1. Presumably Paddy had
been told that the powers that be
are opposed to a “’ills~Gibbons en-
gngement.

or both. ,
l’ugnzy. who is doing the match-
making for the ltnlisn Hospital
Fund outnt. has been trying to. per-
suade Tunney to meet “'ills. Judging
from the way matters shape up to-
dny. Gene is not yet ready to pit his
skill sgslnst that of the big negro.
If Tunney wants to meet. “'ills he
can have the bout. l‘ugnzy stands
ready to put it on and says that he
is certain there would be no opposi-
tion to it from the powers. provid-
ing Tunney can scale as high as 186
pounds.
Fugnzy and Gibson are to have a.
chat by long distance telephone to-
day. If Gibson turns down the of.
fer. Jack Renault. Canadian bony-
wcight champion. will be given the
assignment with “‘ills.
Renault has been demanding a
crack at Wills or some of the other
outstanding contenders for a long
time. He will show. by his accept-
ance or refusal of Fugaxy's otter.
whether his remarks have been
merely for effect.
Renault would shape up better
with Wills. in point of size. than
either Tunney or Gibbons. The
Canadian weighs about :00 pounds
when in his best shape and stands
over six feet. He is big enough to
hold his own with Wills or anyone
else.
The Canadian champion battered

floor. -
It will be noticed that both heavy-
weight bouts are slated for the Polo
Grounds. only a week apart. That in-
terval hardly is long enough to be
satisfactory. but neither De Forest
nor runs! has expressed any dis-
satisfaction with the arrangement.
However. the commission has not as
yet sanctioned either date. Possibly
there will be a switch of some kind
to put these two attractions further
apart.
If the two heavyweight bouts go
through as at present indiestedthe
way will be open for a third clash.

summer. The winner of the third

However. Grimes and Decatur
may be allowed to remain here about
two weeks in order to do their train-

local clubs of the Southern Lesgue.
The two pitchers will be able to get
into condition faster and better if
they are permitted to stay‘. If not
they will be handicapped in their
training activities. for they would
have to go through a brief workout
before the exhibition games with
the Yankees and would also be com-
