of State Commission. Suocessful Fighter of Elimination Bout Would Be Entitled to Match With Heavyweight Champion, According to Head By Ed Van Every. the Garden customers a nice fistic present late in December in the T's RIGKARD'S early Christmas shopping for the purpose of giving ‘way of a title bout still fails to locate anything to be hung om the Yuletide tree. Benny Leonard's poor dental plumbing spoiled a light: ~/Weight championship tilt with Charley White. Joe Lynch's unsatisfac tory exhibition against Kid Wolfe caused the Boxing Commission to put ‘a ban on the proposed match with Joe Burman for the bantam honors, Rickard now practically has matched Jack Dempscy to defend his title against Tom Gibbons for the December date—the noted promoter admitted _ 8 much to-day. Dempsey, Gibbons and Rickard are willing but that seems as far as the proposed match is likely to go for the present. But Dempsey will be seen in the Garden ring this winter, probably in January. William Muldoon, Chairman of the New York State Athletic Commis- sion, was interviewed by the writer late last night in regard to the pro- posed heavywelght championship bout between Jack Dempsey and Tom Gibbons, and while he was found to be decidedly opposed to such a meet- ing until the St. Paul light heavy- it has given further proof that he is an acceptable opponent for the heavywelght king, comment by Mul- “oon indicated that a Dempsey match at the Garden under certain condi- tions will not be opposed. “A good little man,’’ explained Muldoon, “might bo regarded as a fair match for a Wig man who was not so good. But the good little man hag no right in the ring with a good big man. There ‘s a difference sof twenty pounds between Dempsey and Gibbons, and the latter must show the public more than he has shown to justify his meeting with a good big man like Dempsey." “But where is there a good big man to give Dempsey action outside of Harry Wills?" we queried. ‘Brennan, | one of the few men measuring up to Dempsey physically, was decided by the commission as not a fit match for the champion."’ “The commission did not intimate that Brennan was not a fit match for Dempsey,"* was Muldoon’s sur- prising rejoinder. ‘'The commission insisted on some proof that Demp- Bey was to fight in defense of his title and not merely do an encore with opponents whom ho had already defeated. “Dempsey as heavyweight cham- pion had disposed of Carpentier, Miske and Brennan. And this same @efeated trio were apparently to be foisted on the public all over again &# opponents for the heavyweight champion. The commission refused to countenance such rematches which on the face were palpable set-up: “Then Dempsey must apparently remain {dJe until his match with ‘Wills is consumated?"’ queried the replied Muldoon. “We will not oppose Dempsey meet- ing any opponent who has demon- strated his right to a match with the champion, “How can a challenger demonstrate _ his right to recognition as a fit op- Ponent for Dempsey,'’ was asked. “He can prove his fitness in the Proper pluce—the ring," came the an- sewer. ‘‘For example, why does not Gibbons first tuke on Brennan. If he beats Brennan, who has given Demp- sey a fair Astic argument, then there might be some reasonable excuse for his seeking such a match." “Suppose Brennan beats Tom Gib- bons, would that entitle Brennan to a return match with the champion?" etill avking questions. “I don't think there would be any objection to a Dempsey-Brennan match under those condjtions,"’ con- ecded Muldoon. Bo it Is quite apparent that Jack Dempsey will climb through the ropes of the Garden ring some time this winter and it is up to Rickard to stage some kind of an elimination bout between the most likely conten- des so us to determine which particu- lar ambitious heavy or light-heavy weight is anxious to take one on the chin from the champion. It is plafh to the writer after talk- Ing the business over with the Chair- man of the Boxing Commission that the etund of that body is not that mpsey must first go through with 4 ‘Wills match, but that proposed opponents must give proof to u right toa mateh with Jack, other than they have already met the chumplom and #.il} live to tell the tale. Muldoon peinted out where the articles of ugreement entered into by Dempsey and Wills permits both men to engage in ‘other matches previous to their meeting in the ring. This con- dition was not objected to by the Commission, nor was there any in- tent, as hinted in some quarters, to favor Wills ubove Dempsey in matches preliminury to the big mixed bout. But the commission does insist on gome munner of elimination between Proupective Dempsey opponents be- fore Juck in permitted to knock them Out all over aguin. Which js fair enough, So Brennan, Gibbons and Company will kindly eliminate and let Jack pick up a bit of chunge for u change. — 13,000,000 HANDLED IN MUILELS AT LAUREL, BALTIMORE, Oct, %!

The contents of the epistle as divulged by Rickard Promises that Siki will come to this country early in January and go through with his agreement to box Kid Norfolk at the Garden. If Siki fails to beat Joe Beckett in their London engagement on Dec. 7 the American engag=ment is, of course, out of all consideration. Siki’s manager also makes the d mand in letter that if an op- ponent is selected weighing over 175 pounds the light heavyweight title will not be involved. A de- mand for additional francs is also demanded if an opponent above 180 pounds is to be met.
