HIGGINS Attorney-at-Law Corner Main and Shetucket Streets JESS 1S EAGER TO FIGHT _ A REAL CONTENDER Tom Jones Thinks Bout With Car- pentier Would be a Big Drawing Card. Chicago, Dec. 5.—“Any agreeable fi- nancial proposition will be accepted. The match is not yet made, but we hope it will be,” said Tom Jones, the manager of Jess Willard, tonight, in regard to the heavyweight champion’s proposed match in New York with Ges Ing card in any part of the world,” Jones added. “Jess is eager to fight [ R e e New York, Dec. 5.—Tentative.:ar- rangements for the appearance of Georges Carpentier,, the French heavy- weight champion, in a local boxing arena for the benefit of a French ‘war relief fund, are expected to be com- pleted within the next 48 hours. : Tex Rickard, who is endeavoring to.stage the bout, plans to pit the famous.pug- ilistic idol against Jess Willard or Les Darcy of Australia in a ten round no- decision bout ‘at Madison- Square Garden late in February, unless' there is an eleventh hour upset of his plans. * Both Fighters Willing. Both Carpentier and. Willard “have given their verbal consent to thé pro- posals of-the promoter, who has:con- ducted his negotiations with the French champion through members of the American fund for French - wounded, one of the many allied war reliéf or- ganizations in this country. - It .was necessary to obtain the assistance of this association if Carpentier was to get a furlough from the Frecnh army, with which he has been fightidg since the beginning of the European war. It is understood by those interested in the .proposed contest that the French army_ authorities have argeed to give “Carpentier the desired leave of absence in view of the fact that the boxer has expressed complete willing- ness ot donate his share of the purse to the relief fund. Contracts between -Carpentier, the officers of the American Fund for French wounded and Promoter Rick- ard have been drawn up in triplicate and one of these is thought to have ar- rived in Paris today for the signature of the French pugilist. ' The contract, which stipulated that Carpentier shall meet any white boxer selected by Rickard, calls for the payment of $25,000 to the American Fund for French Wounded; $20.000 to Carpen- tier in addition of $1,000 for his travel- ing expenses and a like amount for his share of the moving picture receipts. Tex RlcludArnngmg Fight for Benefit of French War Re lief Fund—Both Fighters Willing—If Jess Fails to Sign " Agreements, Les Darcy Will be Substituted. ‘The fund is to receive approximately one-third of the moving picture pro- ceeds and a certain per centage of tife gate receipts, should they exceed a given figure. The films are expected ot prove remarkably profitable if shown in France for the benefit of the fund. Just as soon as Carpentier’s appear- anee is assured, Rickard will complete arrangements for signing a suitable op- ponent for the French champion. He recently made a flying trip to Chicago to interview Jess Willard, the world heavyweight champion, on the proposi- tion to face Carpentier in a ten round bout. Willard expressed perfect will- ingness to box the French pugilist but is understood to have asked what Rickard thought. was an extremely high figure for his services. s Darcy Will Fight If Jess Won't. Willard declared he could - get into condition for the contest if given six weeks in which to train and he will be the opponent selected if the question of his share of the purse can be ad- justed to the satisfaction of the pug- ilist and the promoter. In case Willard’s terms are too high, Rickard will endeavor to sign up Les Darcy, the Australian middleweight, to meet Carpentier. Darcy is understood to be o nhis way to this country by way of South America and has noti- fied friends that he expects to arrive here about January 15. There is some mystery surrounding his reported de- parture from Australia, but Rickard has stated that if Darcy is not avail- able there are several American heavyweights who would welcome an opportunity to meet Carpentier Yor a share of the big purse that the pro- mofer has announced he is ready to offer.

New York, Dec. 5.—How to make more popular the breeding of trotting hérses was one of the important ques- tians considered today by the board of review of the National Trotting Assoclation in a special congress here.

A “"suggestion of Joseph M. McGrew of Arden, Pa., that breeders be paid & small percentage of the purses, per- haps a half of one per cent., was con- sidered without action. About seventy-five complaints, dis- putes or infractions of rules were be- fore the board. Because of failure to pay purses at the Hampden county fair at Holyoke, Mass., three officers of the fair, Ta J. Shinkwin, presiden S. Ducharme, -treasurer, and D. Young, secretary, were suspended un til the purses were paid. The suspension of A. T. Smith of Tuily, N. Y. until he returned the money won by the pacer Albia, racing under. the alias of Harry Young at Trumansburg, N. Y. last year, was an- nounced. The horse was expelled. It was stated that Albia was raced this year by Peter Herdic of Canton, Pa., at meets in Rockville and Danbury, Conn., and at Sturbridge, Mass. Her- dic was suspended, pending the return of the purses won. Both men pleaded ignorance_of the - facts. M. R. West of Wellsburg, W. Va., and Harry Thompson of Collier, W. Va., were expelled, together with the pacer, Dick W. which it was charged was raced in Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia_and Ohio under the alias of Bal- moral.

Senator Owen, who made the motion, said he would press the bill at every possible opportunity uniil its passage. The Oklahoma senator referred to promises of co-operation given by re- pub’ca senators just before adjourn- ment last September, when a futile effort was made to pass the bill.
