MAY'STAGE FIGHT

Richard to Put on Willard
Bout There if Ten-Round
Limit Is Removed.

NEW YORK. February TEX Rick
tied the sporting world by binding
himself to pay 100000 to Jess Will
lard IS return for defending the
heavyweight championship. returned
to this city from Texas last night. He
confirmed the salient features of the
articles of agreement sent from Chi
cago at the time of their signature.
Two additional clauses since have
been inserted, one by which Willard
is to get one-third of the receipts from
the moving pictures and another that
binds Richard to pay the expenses of
the champion If the bout is sta ged in
Europe
Richard denied the authenticity of
the report from Fort Worth in which
the promoter was quoted as having
selected Jack Dempsey as the oppo-
nent for Willard. IT did not say so.
said Richard. land 1 will not formally
announce my selection for some time
to come. l concede that Dempsey now
is the logical opponent for Willard. and
am willing to talk terms with Demp-
sey's manager at any time. L have
heard that he is disposed to be rea-
sonable. and L am also in the same
frame of mind.
AS to Carpenter. I received a cable
said he would like to come here if he
could get away. But there is some
question as TO that. However, the
French champion has promised to fight
for me when he gets the chance, and
if he cannot get leave of absence I
may take the winner of the fight be-
tween Willard and the man chosen to
meet the champion over to Europe and
pit him against the Frenchman."
