Approves 0f
NEW YORK. Aug. it.—Jack
Dempsey and Gene Tunney will fight
for tile heavyweight championship
of the world in a ten round match
to a decision at the gigantic sesqur
centennial stadium in Phlldolphhl
on the night of Thursday. Septem-
ber 23.
Tex Rickard made this announce-
li-(‘lll last night after weeks of fruit-
h-su efforts to stage the bout. first in
Chicago and the in New York on
bopienlber it. in shifting his battle-
ground again the promoter abandon
u-d contemplated court action. niu
last resort in an attempt to fore:
the New York State License cam-
‘initiee to issue a. permit for tho
1 match at the Yankee stadium.
ltlckard already has received the
full backing of Pennsylvania author-
ities. including Governor Pinchot.
Mayor Kendricks of Philadelphia
Director 15. L. Austin of the Sewn:-
centennial expedition and the Penn-
sylvania. Boxing commission.
The promoter revealed. in far}.
had completed virtually all or-
rangements for the transfer of the
bout to Philadelphia. within the last
two days while ostensibly moving to
take court actlo-i here against the
License committee. whose steadfast
refusal to grant Dempsey a license
until he fought Harry Wills. was
the final stumbling block to holding
the match in New York.
. More lmpractical
While he felt confident such court
action would have been successful
in forcing the issue, the promoter
decided it would be impractical. not
only because of the prospects or
delays and "red tape" but also be.
cause of the likelihood that such a
step would further Jeopardize the
welfare of boxing in New York and
widen the split between the govern—
ing powers of the game. the Athle-
tic commission and the License cola-
mlttec.
Rickard has posted $50,000 with
the Pennsylvania Boxing commission
as a guarantee of goOd faith. His
announcement came after ironing
out remaining essentials at a final
confelgpce with h‘rank Weiner.

To Draw Big Gate
Under the arrangements Rickard
has made the match promises to
draw a bigger “gate" in Philadel-

the promoter larger profits. His
financial agreement calls for ten
per cent of the gross receipts to go
