Wilson said |it had been hinted Nurmi's appear- ance could be arranged for a fig- ure equal to transportation from New York to Des Moines and thence to Finland. The declaration was fol- lowed by a statement from officials of the University of Chicago that $1,000 had been requested as ex- penses for the Finnish runners to appear at the national track and fleld meet at Chicago in June. Publication of Wilson's charges immediately brought a denlal from Hugo Quist, Nurmi's manager, who declared in Los Angeles that he had met Wilson only once and that the expenses of the runners ‘‘positively were not discussed.” Wilson coun- tered by reiterating hils charges that Quist had demanded an “exorbitant sum for the appearance of his run- ner,” and also asserted that he had discussed the matter of expenses for the track men with Quist on three different occasions. Wilson said that Quist had “defin- itely set $500 as the amount of ex- pense money mecessary for the ap- pearance of Ritola." negotiations for the appearance of urmi, Wilson said that while it Base on ba had been definitely decided that ng 3, Lucey 2,|Nurmi could not appear bhecause of Ruffiug 1. | conflicting dates, Quist, during an tes 5 linterview in Chicago, January 16, Losing | hinied . that Nurmi's appearance and [eould be arranged on the extended | transportation basis.

Trusting in the matchmaker ,who carrled him through the two biggest bouts of hlsl career—with Willard at Toledo and Carpentier at Jersey City—Dempsey announced last night that 'he was ready to lay aside the role of actor to defend his title agalnst MHarry ‘Wills, his negro challenger, provided Rickard would assure him the match could be staged without interference. Dempsey made it plain that Rick- ard would be his lone cholce to handle the assignment. His exper« fence in the Bhelby fight with Tom Gibbons in contrast to the successful bouts he had under Rickard's pro- motions are consideted as respon- sible for that attitude, Where the Carpentier and Willard matches wera unquestioned successes from ry point, the Gibbons affair was staged under uncertaln conditions which not only made the match a financlal problem for the promoters, but put Dempsey and his manage: Jack Kearns, in what they consider- ed as an embarrassing position. The champion announced that if Rickard could assure him a Wills match within the next two weeks— and he announced that in his opin- lon the negro heavyweight was the outstanding contender for the title— he would not let his contemplated honeymoon trip to Eurdpe stand in the way of the eontest. If Rickard fails it will be Europe and no heavy. weight title battle this year, he said. Dempsey's requirement for assur- ance that such a fight can be staged has arisen from a serles of disturb- ing events. The dissension following the JYeffries-Johnson bout, the legal effort made to stop the Carpentier fight in Jersey City, tha sudden quietus put on a Wills-Dempsey match in this s ago after the negro's challenge had been filed with the boxing commission and the objection of many to mixed matches has raised a well-founded question of doubt in Dempsey's mind that the fight can be handled“with- out opposition. Rickard announced that he could not sign Dempsey to fight Wills until after the negro's forthcoming bout with Charley Weinert, of Newark. “If Wills {s defeated in that fight, 1 would have a fine fight on my hands ehould I arrange this match now, wouldn't 17" sald Rickard. “The Wills-Weinert and Gibbonas- Tunney matches ought to pravide a 1 challenger and the one who ma the best showing will got the mateh for the championship. Per- sonally, I don't care who the man is. T have Dempsey under contract to fight for me, and he has assured ‘me that, given thres months to train, he will bs ready te enter the ring against the best man."

The sum represents the difference between Munn's share of the purse in his scheduled $30,000. Decoration Day match with Ed (Strangler) Lewls at Michigan City, Ind., and what it might have been if negotia- tlons atarted before his defeat had gone through. " Promoter Floyd Fitzsimmons or- iginally offered a guarantes of $60,- 000 for the Munn-Lewis match when Munn held the title and had posted $30,000 of that amount, . An effort was made to. Induce both Munn and Lewis to forego matches until the Michigan City event. Munn'a fatlure to do so has cost him a pretty penny. With Munn & defeated champion, but ‘with Lewls elalming he still holds the title, articles tor the Munn- Lewis go, finally signed yesterday, call for a pupse of $30,000, of which Lewls will get 80 per cent and Munn 40 per cent. Thus Munn's share will be $12,000, With the purse $60,000 and Munn still champion, he prob- ably would have obtained the 60 per cent or $36,000. The diamond studfed belt, blematic of the title, and valued at { $10,000, will be awarded the winner. Lewls has retainsd the belt since he was thrown by Munn at Kansas City, claiming that Munn should have been disqualified on a foul. « With the Michigan City bout ad- vertised for the title belt, no com- i em- ment has come from Zbyszko, who | apparently has severed relations with the western wreatling outfit. Zbyszko generally was believed to have been a member of the west- | | erners until he defeated Munn and since then his prospective matches J have besn arranged with wrestlers of the sastern persuasion, He meets Renato Gardipi at Philadelphia next Tuesday night.
