NEW YORK. Sept. 30. t.\l‘.)-—~
I.’nder the impression for smeral
weeks that he would eventually step
in and close the match. Promoter
Rickard today expressed surprise
and disappointment over signing of
articles by Jack Dempsey to defend
his heavyweight titlo against I'lart'y
Wills under the promotion of i-‘ond
lt‘ltzslniinons next fall in Michigan
City. Ind.
Contrary to earlier reports, llirk-
ard, like Jack Kearns. was unwilling
to admit that he was prepared to go
to the courts to prevent Dempsey
from lighting the negro challenger
in the Middle West.
"My lawyers inform me that m!‘
contracts with Dempsey and Rooms
written and verbal, will stand any
kind of a test and that I am entitled
to this fight." Rickard said.
"Whether I will press these claims
01' ttot. I cannot say. I feel as if l'd
like to wash my hands of in.»
whole matter. and yet I can't be-
lieve that Dempsey has made such
a fool of himself until I get more
facts on the matter."
