WOULD STAGE BATTLE IN HIS MICHIGAN ARENA WPromoter Figures Dempsey-Carpentier Fight at Benton Harbor Would Draw $750,000 Gate—No Turf Date Conflicts. BY FAIRPLAY. EW YORK, January 27—This town is full of promoters from all parts of the country and'Canada looking for big game. Any one who happens to see a stranger today around the Hotel Biltmore, where Jess Willard is holding out, or snooping about Tex Rickard’s office, in Madison Square Garden, would not be liable to make a mistake if he #dentified aforesaid stranger as a sport who wants to take the Carpentier- Dempsey fight off Rickard’s hands or to hook Jess Willard up with some worth-while opponent. Floyd Fitzsimmons, the Benton Harbor, Mich., promoter, is said to have a representative in the city at the present time gharged with the carrying forward of mighty plans. Pitssimmons will be recalled as the man who brought Benny Leonard and Charley White together at Benton Marbor last year in a most successful fashion, and later drew a $135,000 te for the Dempsey-Miske bout in e same ring last Labor day. Fitz- simmons is reported to have planned three big fights for Decoration day, July 4 and Labor day, and for o of these dates he is more than wil ing to take the world heavyweight struggle off Tex Rickard's hands. Faces Man-Sized Job. If Fitzsimmons is really stacking against Rickard in this matter he has selected a man-sized job. This ‘would be the ca~> even were the two promoters to si..ct all even, but as the matter stands, Rickard has In his possession such little things as contracts and the like which will give him a pretty big handicap. Probably the whole thing, with respect to the heavyweight battle, will boil down to mere talk on the plyrtto; ‘mea “2;:-5 count: romoter.” Yet his Temark that he could pull & $750.000 te with Dempsey and Carpentier as @rawing cards is not regarded as a ridiculous assertion by New York @porting men.

HEADLOCK ‘Wrestling Promoter Says He Will Stage No More Bouts in ‘Which Hold Is Used. NEW YORK, January ' 27.—What may be construed as the first official move toward the elimination of the headlock from wrestling has been taken by Jack Curley, promoter of all the important mat contests in this city | during the last two years and prob- | ably the most prominent person iden- tified with the game outside of the wrestlers themselves. Curley has announced definitely that. the headlock will be barred from all future matches conducted by him. He declares he is~“bowing to the demands | of the press and the wrestling public.” Agitation against the headlock, as used by Ed (Strangler) Lewis, world | champion, has been growing of late as \CURLEY BARS 7ol a result of injuries to his opponents, | and it culminated on Monday night in a menacing demonstration against Lewis at the 71st Regiment armory.

Among them ‘were Capt. Louis Urban of the Boston College foot ball team, Jack Kelly and Paul Costello, champion oarsmen; Conatance S.

But the action of the National Base Ball Federation in this particular matter is only an indication of the situation which is broadly developing throughout the country. Athletics, only a child some fifty years ago, has now grown into such a giant that it dominates the country from coast to coast.

Teams repre- senting the Moose and Knights of Pyth- fas will inaugurate the campaign on May 1, and games will be played daily except undays through August 8. In all, the schedule includes fifty-four contests. Cleveland Kennicutt of the Knights of Pythias is president of the orgzaniza- tion. while J. J. Mullan.: and J. W.
