NEW YORK, June 4.—Tex Rick- ard announced today he had aban- doned plans to promote two heavy- weight fights this year and would concentrate his efforts either upon a match between Luis Firpo and Harry Wills, or a title contest be- tween Wills and Jack Dempsey. The promoter had planned to make a Wills-Firpo match an elimi- nation test for a championship bout around Labor Day at Boy! Acres but has cancelled t! because of Firpo's unwilling fight before August 20. Such a date, make it impossible to hold a title match early in September between the winner and Dempsey, while he prefers not to risk chances with weather conditions and conflict with other sporting events by arranging Day. As a result, Rickard declared he would abandon a Dempsey match for this year if he puts on the Wills-Firpo contest, but added that he had not as yet determined which to stage. He has signed Wills for both fights, and has agreements with Firpo as well as Dempsey’s manager, Jack Kearns, who is in} New York to close any arrangement the promoter makes. Kearns declared today he was réady to sign with Rickard for fights with either Firpo or Wills, preferably ‘the négro, and denied that the champion’s motion picture engagement would prevent him from defending his title this year. Rickard indicated that he would stage which ever contest he ar- ranges, at Boyle's Thirty Acres about Labor Day.
