dfs’ '. HE EVENING WORLD, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1921, i maar tak ok i , aa IF RICE COMES HERE YANKEES WILL HAVE GREATEST OUTFIELD - By Thornton Fisher |Consent de a io Dempsey-Willard Bout Post- poned Until Labor Day— Rickard to Build Outdoor Arena for Contest. B® Jack Dempacy-Joss Willard bout has been postponed. The Contest will not ibe held at Mad fon Square Garden on the originu fate, March 17, but will ibe contested fm an open air arena, somewhere in Greater New York, on Labor Day. YTiis announcement comes fom Tex «Rickard, promoter of the bout } Rickard claims his action is prompt- 904 by the recent ruling of the boxing jcomminsion, eetfing $15 as the top price for tickets for any bout, The ‘two fighters demand a guarantee for their services, and as the seating ca- Pacity of the Garden runs a little over ‘the 10,000 mark, holding of the affair there would mean @ sure loss to the statement follows: “For varions reasons J have de- ided to postpone the Dempsey- ‘Willard bout until Labor Day, Sept 5. While both Dempsey and | ‘Willard are eager and willing to @bsorve the original contract and meet at Madison Square Garden | on March 17, I have decided that | the contest can better be staged in the open air following the Dempsey-Carpentier contest on July 2. | “The surprising dgmand for | tickets for the WillaPd-Dempsey bout clearly indicates that Madison Square Garden would saccommo- date only a fraction of those who | @esire to see the bout. “Willard's absolute confidence in | his ability to regain the champion- whip has impressed many follow- ere of boxing, and a demand has | been created that he be matched with the winner of the Dempeey- , Carpentier bout. “I shall therefore erect a large pen air arena for the inter- national contest and stage a match between Willard and the winner ef the Dempsey-Carpentier bout under the existing contract. This change ee ‘is mado wae Dempsey and Willard.” * ACK KBHARNS, with a sharp cye for the box office, had a little echeme that would postpone the Dempsey-Willard fight until warm weather when the two huskies could) olash outdoors in some big park where the receipts would be more nourishing than the returns in the Garden. Jack hed a hunch that thing like thi« would be the ultimate solution of the vexing problem. It was a good hunch, @s the dapper manager wired the world’s champion yesterday to stop training as the Willard bout was off indefinitely. From a business standpoint the sug. gestion af Kearns was the most logical that has yet been offered. Jack ridi- euied the idea that a match with Will- ard some time in May would jeopard- twe Dempsey’s chances with Carpen- uer. The Dempsey camp regards an- other session with Willard merely as &@ stiff workout for the more import- amt glove argument with the French champion. Kearns actually thinks that a setto with Big Jess in May would save the title-holder a little training expense. Willard would just take the place of a sparring partner, Kearns certainly doesn't entertain any thoughts that the former cham- pion might pull a miracle and separ- ate Walloping Jack from his crown, So much for Willard, What Keurns is most interested in is the battle with Georges Carpentier. He is very willing to bave Rickard promote the international struggle alone, now that Brady and Cochran have formally re- tired from the original managing com- bination. Whatever Tex finally does ‘m the matter is satisfactory to Kearns jusc as long as Dempsey will be ap- propriately rewarded for his services. | F IT ie to the best interests of all | contracting parties to haye the fight on a percentage basis Demp- | sey wil demand 2% per cent. of the| receipts.
