JACK BRITTON AND 0'D0WD 10
 MEET AUG. 22

New York, July 3O-Hardly had the smoke of the Britton-Lewis bat tie cleared away when plans were perfected for another sensational boxing contest, in which Mike ODowd, the middleweight champion of the world, and Jack Britton, the welter champion of the world, will be the princiapls.
 Articles of agreement for the match were signed last night and the men will meet in the First Regiment Armory, Newark, under the auspices of the Newark Sperts1nen's club, on the night of August 22.
 The conditions for the match stip- ulate that O'Dowd shall weigh not more than 15S pounds ringside on the night of battle and under these terms the middleweight title would be at stake. As O'Dowd could not possibly make 1~5 pounds, Britton's welter- crown will not be risked in the encounter.
 O'Dowd recently was introduced from the ring of the Arnory A A. Jersey City, and he showed no evi- dence of excessive weight. He de clared that he weighed 157 pounds in his street clothes, and if such is the case he should have no trouble making the weight called for in the articles of agreement. The middle weight champion will have plenty of time in which to train for the bout and will not be compelled to reduce in too short a time.
 It is not the first time in recent years that champions in different classes have met in the ring. In 1917 Benny Leonard knocked out Johnny Kilbane, the featherweight champion in the third round.

Jack Fournier out in Los Angeles Is batting among the leaders this sen son, but he's not hitting the ball to the far corners like he used to do and Is not in the race for home run honors.
 A correspondent from Los An Geles tells an interesting story of how Jack has Seen cured of his desire to tear the cover off the ball and de- Velop instead into Q hitter who can be depended on to swat singles tha- are of more value to his club with greater frequency.
 It seems that Jim Morley, busine ess manager of the Los Angeles Club. cooked up the plan and Manager wade killefer agreed to It. So Nor ley went to Fournier and made the proposition of paying him s1 for each sIhse he made during the season if the DIE frenchnan would give him s2 Tor every double, $3 for every triple anu s4 Tor every home run he made. This was agreeable, and the bet is on.
 Last years records show that Four nier would have been a loser, and in 1S1I he would have lost money He nit safely 130 times in 1918, of which Sb were singles. He had 26 doubles l8 triples and five homers This would rave amounted to S111, or s25 more than he had coming for his S6 singles.

Carpentier Cannot Get Ready for London Bou5 By Sept. 2-Anstralian Tennis Team Coming.

Afetr all this talk about the skin or Joe Beckett and Georges Carpen- tier as slinSrrs of the boxing gloves. word comes from England that they may not fight on September after ell Ii is said that Carpenter has sent word to tho London prorn,s7r in charge of the affair that he canno1 get ready by September 2.
 It is said that c,arpentier dt.cov- cred in his bout with Dick Smith re. gently that he had not recovered his old form.
 French military authorities will not permit him to leave France and that certain members of ths Socialist party Tn France have prevailed on the gov ernment to interfere. Whether this IS nction CT fact there is no doubt that as Carpenter has been out of the ring for five years he is entitled to take on some easy opponents before ne nsures in an important match.
 II is said there is q chance that Eddie McGoorty may be signed to re- pIace Carpenter as Becketts oppon- ent. McGoorty is a native of Wis ccA5in who is known as knockout specialist. Perhaps he won't give the English referee an opportunity to give him one of those off color decis- ions

Dempsey Won in Third Round.

The great prize fight for the heavy,
weight championship of the world
held at Toledo, Ohio, on July 4th,
made a new worlds champion, Jack
Dempsey winning the bout in the
third round, defeating Jess Willard,
who gave up the fight at the, end of
the third round, stating it was use
less for him to continue, although
Dempsey had him whipped in the
very first round, and the sounding of
the gong was all that saved Willard.
Willard weighed 243 pounds and
Dempsey 1877 pounds, but Dempsey
had the advantage of age, being "a
years old while Willard admits being
3S, and it is claimed he is nearer As
than 3S. 1t is the old story of
youth against age, and no champion
has ever been able to come back az
ter reaching the age of 35 years.
Dempsey sent Willard to the floor
time after time in the first round,
closing one of his eyes, and Willard
seemed to be dazed from the. blows;
When the gong sounded at the end
of the first round Willard was on the
floor the referee having counted nine
when the gong rang, and this was all
that saved Willard from being knock
ed out Willard received guarantee
OF 100000 for his share of the
fight, which is considerable more
than Dempsey will get, but the lat
ter will now make a fortune on the
stage, having already been offered
$4,000 week for twelve weeks.
Willard says he is through with the
fight game and will devote his time
he has saved his money and is quite
wealthy
