TH1CAGO, May 21.-President Ban

Rickard to
Invite Noted
Europeans
Promoter May Ask Prince of
Wales To Be Alternate
Referee of the Big Battle
By w. O. Mcclellan

Tex Rickard, promoter of the s127.-
500 Willard Dempsey bout, left last
night for Toledo and will remain with
IN reaching distance of his arena until
the returns for his alf-million-dollar
gate are all in
The promoter is a bit disappointed
over the fact that Lord Lonsdale will
be unable to attend the bout. 81 sort
of banked on having his lordship
there" said Rickard. "ln case Willard
and Dempsey couldn't agree, Lord
Lonsdale would have been a fine ref
cree.
Il wonder if Marshal Foch or Gle
menceau or Lloyd George could get
away IN time for the Fourth? I am
sure those boys would enjoy the scrap.
Anyhow, Pm going to invite them
They tell me that the Prince of
Wales is quite boxing patron. Maybe
| could get him for an alternate referee
or something. Anyhow, I'll invite him.
This is going to be big thing and l
think it's only right that l have a
few personal guests. At my last fight
(Willard and Moran) l had John L.
Sullivan and Tom Sharkey and Jim
Jeffries."
Rickard walked over to the cable
offlce to get his invitations on the
wire. Tex is determined to have Euro
pean representation at the rngside.
In the meantime, Jess Willard is en-
tlrely absorbed in his campaign to
show up William Hart, Douglas Fair
banks and a few others in the movie
business. Willard has been told that
he has remarkable face for the screen
and has about decided that, no matter
what happens on July 4, he will battle
the silent drama to a finish. His devo-
ton to the new art makes no hit with
the promoter, who considers a cham
plonship battle for S127,5OO as being
far from a frivolous matter
TOLEDO, Ohio, May 21.-David F.
Fitzgerald, former alderman and ring
official Of New Haven, Conn, arrived
mere tonight to impress upon Tex
Rlckard his qualifications as referee
of the Jess Willard-Jack Dempsey
heavyweight championship battle here
July A. He is the first candidate for
the position to reach the battle-ground
Fitzgerald refereed contest in which
Willard engaged before he became
champion.
Jimmy De Forest, of Long Branch,
N. j., veteran boxer and trainer. ar
rived to-day to assume charge of the
challenger's work. De Forest has su-
pervlsed Dempsey's conditioning for
several matches. Before the end of
the week half dozen sparring part

roads for six miles this morning and
played two games of handball this
afternoon. Then he assisted carpen

Sold by
Ciants' Manager
To Boston Braves

Jim Thorpe, famous Indian athlete,
is no longer q member of the Giants.
He was sold yesterday by Manager
McGraw to the Boston Nationals, with
which team he may land regular
position in the outfeld. The purchase
price was not announced.
Thorpe came to the Giants in 1918,
but never could land a permanent berth
in the outfield. He felded we'll enough,
but every pitcher in the big leagues
was aware of his batting weakness,
which was a curve ball.
Big jim has been in and out of the
big leagues several times since he first
signed with the Giants. McGraw OBJ
tanned him after he had been exposed
as a professional ball player, when at
the peak of his amateur athletic PROV
ess, and after he had won Olympic
laurels and national championships.
Early in 1915 McGraw sent Thorpe
to Jersey City under an optional agree
ment. He was returned on September
l, and the Giant manager sent him to
Harrisburg. Jim stayed until the end
Of the season. Jim failed to start the
1916 campaign with the Giants. as on
April he was turned over to the Mil
waukee club of the American Associa-
ton. He was recalled at the end of
the minor league season.
Late in April, 1917, Thorpe was sold
conditionally to Matty, then managing
the Reds. The Indian returned to the
Polo Grounds August /, and was on the
