Boston 4, Pittsburgh 3, TITLE BOUT MAY | BE HELD ON JUNE 30 Rickard, Who May Promote Dempsey-Wills Bout, Names Date New York, July 13.—Tex Rickard yesterday stated that if he promoted the bout for the world's heavywelght championship between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, it would probably be staged on the Saturday before the Fourth of July next year, which would be JOne 30, That is the date the promoter favors at this time, and he explained that he would not be, averse to changing it should condi- tions warrant. “I think the latter part of June or [early in July would be the best time |to put on the bout, probably the Sat- |urday before the Fourth of July," said Rickard. While discussing the proposed bout Rickard strongly intimated that he did not intend to submit a bid for the match in the usual way—that is, he will not be content with simply submitting the terms under which he will promote the affair, but will meet both Jack Kearns and Paddy Mullins, the respective managers of Dempsey and Wills, in a business conference or .| series of conferences if necessary, and discuss terms with them to ascer- tain what might be acceptable to the principals and decide whether he can see his way clear to meet their de- mands or endeavor to compromise with them. Talks With Kearns It is known that Rickard has al- ready informally discussed the affair with Jack Kearns since the prelimin- ary articles for the bout were signed on Tuesday afternoon. Just what hap- pened at the meeting both Rickard and Kearns declined to say. It s also known that Frank Flourney, match- maker of Madison Square Garden and the New York Velodrome, con- ferred with Jack Kearns late yester- day afternoon before Kearns left to join Jack Dempsey in Montreal, where the champion will engage in some theatrical work. Flourney Sees Kearns. Flourney afterward insisted that the | conference had nothing to do with |the Dempsey-Wills affair. Further than that he would say nothing. It 34 |was rumored, however, that the 39 | meeting had to do with the propos- 41 |ed bout between Dempsey and Jess 43 | Willard for the coming fall and with 49 |the pessibility of a Dempsey-Greb 55 | bout being staged here. It now seems 58 that Flourney has entered the bidding for a meeting between the heavy- | weight champion of the world and |the light heavyweight champion of | America. Questioned as to when he expected to hold a conference with Kearns and Mullins, Rickard replied: *“I under- | stand that Kearns will be away from !New York for about a week. Noth- ing can be done until he returns. I expect to meet him and Mullins at that time.
