The commission yesterday an- nounced receipt of a telegrar from the champion in which Tunney said he had signed with Tex Rickard to defend his title “against the best available opponent as soon as Rickard has arranged to sign his selection and stage the contest.” The telegram, which was in reply to one from the commission, how- ever, failed to deal specifically with the challenges, now on fils here, of Tom Heeney, Jack Sharkey and Johnny Risko. The commission, in its telegram to Tunney, had in- formed the champion that his six- month period of grace expired today and asked him what he was going to do with the challenges. _ Although che commission an- nounced it would have nothing to say about the situation until its regular 'meeting tomorrow, it was learned unofficially that the boxing fathers considered Tunney’s reply cvasive. Unless something occurs in the meantime to alter the situation, Tunney’s supension, for failure to defend his title within six months, appears certain, Stars to Meet Four of the outstanding perform- ers in the track world will partici- ate in the fourth annual Rice re- ys to be run at Houston, Tex., late in March.
