The court's declsion removed the |last legal obstacles confronting th bout. r gesture | Two Injunction suits brought hy B. C. Clements, Chicago promoter, who claims a prior contract Dempsey's services, were dismissed. One aimed to restrain Promoter Tex Rickard and the other the sesqui- |centennial exposition from conduct- |ing the title match. The court, in the opinion read by President Judge Bartlett, held evidence of the alleged contract be- tween nents and Dempsey, well as the fuifiliment of the ter |of it, were not sufficient upon w to base injunction procecdings. Clements' attempt to block the fight was based upon the contention h Chic n club, was obligated to fi Harry Wills before meeting other opponent. . Indiana courts fssued an injur {tion against the fight recently on t Clements but the Philadel- in its opinion today, held s not enforceable here hecquse Dempsey is not within the ion of the Penns; courts and because Tunn |Rickard were not parties to the In- diana actlon between Clements and | Dempsey. “From the proofs lopinion said, h between plaintiff and Dempsey was vague and uncertain instead of clear and specific. No proof was offe v plaintiff that it was prepared to ry out the contemplated exhibi- tion Insofar as the said Wills was |concerned; nor did the plaintiff es- tablish by sufficient proof it had complied with the terms of its al leged contract by the payment the any submitted,” the alleged contract ed of $300,000 to Dempsey and it seeks to | restraln a breach of a conjectual an a proved contract In such a case equity will not is- sue an injunction. Ordinarily the test of the jurisdlction of equity to grant such an injunction is the in- adequacy of legal remedy for dam- ages. Where there is an adequate remedy at law for a breach of con- tract a court in equity will not lend its ald to restrain a breach thereof. The plaintiff by ingtituting suits for damages for the bfeach of an elleg- ed contract, is persuaded that it has an adequate nedy at law.” When Rickard learned the injunc- tions had been dismissed, a .smile overspread his face. He walked to a window of his room at the Bellevue- tratford and said: | “\¥ell, we won the court fight. Now let's see if we can beat the weather From a’nearby chimney a wisp of smoke ascended straight into the |air. “There's a good omen,” he re- marked. “If it was setting in for a long rain that smoke wouldn't go up.” Clements did not seem by the court decision. | “It was a matter of | protect myself,” he said Jally, T hope Jack wins |likeable fellow." downeast business to “Person- He is a | Anti-Typhoid Serum for Miami Via Airplane Boston, Sept. 23 (#—Dr. George | M.
