‘m Speaking of Sports. At the meeting of the Falcon baseball team held last night in the club rooms at the corner ot Beaver and North streets, the dismissal of Frank (Chucky) Wojack as coach of the team, was accepted by those! present. Si Budnick has been selected to act as coach for remainder of the season to succeed Wojack and he will take immediate charge of the team, Wojack will. no longer be a mem- ber of the Falcon team, according to announcement manating from the meeting of the club. The ques- tion was left to a committee of members of the Falcon club, pro- per, to decide and these members made §i Budnick the choice as men- tor of the team. The Falcons will play the West- field Athletics in Westfield Thurs- day night at 6:15 o'clock. Manager John Cabay will publish instructions to the players as to the time of departure on Thursday. Art McGinley, sports editor of the Hartford Times in talking about the Dempsy-Sharkey fight, said that the Boston boy had taken one of the most severe beatings he had cver seen a man take in the ring. He wouldn't express his opinion on Dempsey's chances against Tun- ney but figures that Dempsey is able to punch his way to a victory over almost everyone. He expressed the opinion that many of the claims of “foul” which are being shouted about today, are simply the result of “sour grapes" because of wrong predictions. Dempsey says that the great fault with Sharkey is that he lacks | courage. He says he is a good fight- er and will be back near the top in the very near future. CHICAGD ANAIOUS FOR TITLE FIGHT City Council Adds Invitation to Tex Rickard Chlcago, July 26— —Storms may be brewing in the east over the coming Dempsey-Tunney fight for the heavyweight title, but in Chicago all is fair weather. The oflicial chorus of Chicago's'® welcome to Tex Rickard, promoter of the bout, {s now unanimous and | the New Yorker, has responded by promising to come here Thursday to settle ngements for the $2,000,- 000 affray at Soldier Field the latter part of September. The city council yesterday added its invitation to those of the state boxing commission and the park board controllng the stadium. Mayor Thompson telegraphed Rickard that George F. Getz, who had offered to qualify as the promoter to comply with the Illinois law, was fully au- thorized to speak for the mayor in his preliminary arrangements in New York. “Certainly I want the fight to come to Chicago,” Mayor Thomp- son said. “I'm always interested in bringing money to Chicago. I asked Rickard to be sure he dealt only with Mr. Getz or some other Chicago official. Mr. Getz, now attending the gov- ernor's conference at Mackinac, i land, sent word that he would be here Thursday to meet Rickard and repeated his offer to become the | technical promoter of the match. The boxing commission, a fort- night ago, volunteered an invitation to Rickard to bring the contest here with the intimation that the top price of ringside seats, the techni- cality of an Tllinois promoter, and other problems could be arranged to Rickard's satisfaction. The stadium, which the South Park board has tendered for the championship battle, is capable of | being arranged to seat 150,000 whjch would bring the gate re- | ceipts to more than $2,000,000. LEGAL GUNS ARE TRAINED ON DEMPSEY AND TUNNEY | Camps of Champion and Former Champion May Buzz With Court Entaunglements. New York, July 26 (P—Legal guns have been trained on Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey, and the training camps of the heavyweight champion and his established rival may buzz with court entanglements _as the fighters prepars for their titular contest in September. Tim Mara, New York sportsman, has filefl suit in the supreme court here to recover $26,500 alleged to be due him from the champion and his manager, Billy Gibson, under a contract alleged to have been made shortly before the Tunney-Dempsey fight last year. Meanwhile, Jack Kearns, former manager of Dempsey, said his $600,- 000 coliection of law suits that be- set the Manasea Maulér while he was training for Tunney last year would be renewed unless an agrée- ment was reached shortly. The amount set forth in Mara’s suit against Tunney represents 10 per cent of the $200,000 the cham- pion received for defeating Dempsey at Philadelphia. Mara claims his contract with Tunney and Gibson was based on Mara's services in procuring the Dempsey match. Mara also claims he was promised 16 2-3 per cent of Tunney's share and 8 1-3 per cent of Gibson's share of money earned from Tunn possession of the championship.
