GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 14.—(By The Associated Press).—Payment tomorrow of $100,000, the second install- ment of the $300,000 purse to be paid Jack Dempsey for his fight with Tommy Gibbons at Shelby, Montana, July 4, will remove the last trace of uneasiness existing here of the Shelby promoters’ ability to go Jeck Kearns, manager of the world’s heavyweight champion, today profeswed a feeling of quiet assur- ance that the money would be paid Svar in accordance with the terms of the contratt. Kearns agreed to meet Mayor James Johnson of Shelby to discuss the question of tomorrow's payment., He sald Mayor Johnson previously had assured “him that the $100,000 would be placed in his hands at the appointed time. When the money is tendered Kearns the promoters will be in = position where {t will be cheaper for them to go ahead with the fight than to call it off, as some skeptics feared they would. This state of affairs is brought about by the fact that most of the money exacted by Kearns ‘s drawn from ticket. sale receipts. Ac- cording to the terms of the contract with Dempsey and Kearns, they keep| all the money advanced them, whether, the fight fs staged or not. Consequently, to call off the match, the Shelby promoters would be against the necessity of raising an additional $200,009 to refund money to ticket purchasers. With two thirds of Dempeey'’s guarantee paid the most the pro- moters will have to raise to stage the show wil! be an additional $190,- 000, according to figures compiled to- day by Russell Strain, one of the “yloriginal ‘personal backers of the ight, and one of the wedlthiest mer- chants in the state. Acdording to Strain’s ‘estimate the arena cost will not exceed $40,000, and he named $50,000 as m very generous estimate of all other expenses. ‘These two sums, added to the $100,000 to be through with their enterprise. paid Dempsey July 2, bring the total amout yet to be raised to $190,000. Strain figures that 25,000 will wit- ness the fight and places the expect- ed receipts at $650,000. He says the promoters can operate at a profit if the gate is $600,000. Dempsey, judging from the work- out yesterday, 1s through nursing his sparring partners. He knocked down George Godfrey, a 225 pound negro, in the first 15 seconds of the first round and all but knocked out Harry Draake, English heavyweight. Draake left the ring badly dazed and bleed- ing after being knocked into the ropes, and was on the verge of fall Ing to the floor when Dempsey caught him in his arms. The champion was disturbed be cause of stories that newspaper cor- respondents who sought admission to the camp Tuesday were accorded a cool reception by the two guards sta- tioned at the gate. Dempsey, who was absent from camp at the time, Placed the blame on a_ reformed rough horseman from the west—re- formed but still rough—who had been engaged as one of the guards. The guards followed too literally in- structions to keep out the public Dempsey explained. ‘The one who told the correspondent he had been instructed to “leave nobody past the gate,” has been properly disciplines and taught that courtesy is one of the best ways to get your name into the papers.
