Champion Sure He Can
Beat Dempsey; Many
Offers for the Battle
By w. O. Mcclellan

Tex Rickard docked at the Biltmore
last night with the tidings that jess
willard had shed eleven pounds within
the last week. The promoter Of the
s127, 800 match did not know whether
the reduction in tonnage was due to
the news Of the tax on Wizards $780,
900 or to the physical training which
the champion has started. 1t might be
both
"Wilard now weighs about 265
pounds and looks as active as ever"
said Rickard "He did not havo much
to say. He has never been much on
the talk line. but he is sure that he
can whip Dempsey easily. And he says
that he does not care where the fight
is held. It wouldn't matter if he had q
preference, for the articles rea., that
am to select the site
at will probably be in New York,
will it not?' was asked
"Do you think that the new boxing
bill will be passed ?" asked Rickard,
anxiously. And this is the tip-off The
big purse was guaranteed with the hope
that boxing would be egalizcd in New
York, where the big purses are to be
had In gambling on the match Rick
ard also gamblcd on the probability Of
the Legislature passing either the
Gibbs bill or the Malone bill. A hear
ing on boxing will be held at Albany
day.
Richard does not seem to be ANXIOUS
over the legality OF the contract which
ne has signed with Jack Dempsey and
Jack kearns. This was shown TO be
illegal and not binding, but Richard
figures that contract with a boxer is a
haphazard sort of instrument at that.
However, he probably viii meet Demp-
scy aud Kcarns outside Of the state
within a few days and sign another
contract. A few more won't hurt, nor
viii they hold. The alternative is to
wait until boxing Is lcgalzed and then
TO sign with Dempsey again at the
Claridgc. with the wine bottles and all
the traditional fxings.
"I've got some good offers from
Nevada and from Idaho" declared
Kickard. But / havo not decided
where the fight will be held. There
is only one thing certain and that
is TINT it VIII be held somewhere in
the United States on the day set,

Willard Loses III Pounds
I'm Week, RiclAard Reports

be no difficulty of getting a ring site
The thing to do is to get that ring
in the city where the greatest num-
Der of boxing fans can be packed in.
The initial expenses will be some
thing like a quarter of million dol
lars and ] want to mako something
on my gamble. It's a gamble always,
big bout, but have not lost on
one yet and | do not want to lose
on this one"
Richard seemed little ANNOYED
when he heard that Jack Kcarns had
announced that he had secured a
match with Georges Carpenter, the
Frcnchman. Carpenter has always
been Richards trump card in getting
reluctant heavywcights to sign. "If
you don't close, | send for Carpcn-
tier" Richard used to say, and they
usually signed. He mentioned Car
pentier to Jack Kcarns, who immcdi-
ately turned pale and put Dempscy's
monickcr to the articles with Willard.
Ike Dorgan, Richards chief aide,
threw off his disguise as soon as the
feels that he has successfully eluded
the police and that he is in no pres
ent danger of apprehension. lie
started on a still hunt for arena sites
last night Ike has been looking over
the lot in the lee Of Coogans Bluff,
next to the Polo Grounds. 1t would
make good arena site, but it is
doubtful that the National League
Baseball Club. which holds the lease
on this property, would let it out for
the bout.
Orators primed to boost the boxing
game will hold forth in the Senate
at Albany day. A trainload is schcd-
ulcd to leave this city at $3.50, if the
alarm clocks run to form. Delegations
will attend from cities upstate and
all sorts Of promises and guarantees
Will be made for the future good con-
duct Of boxing.
Those who claim TO know, declare
that there is no doubt that there Will
be u boxing bill passed at this scs-
sion. Some even hope for fifteen
rounds with referees decision. There
are two factors in bringing boxing
back into favor at Albany. One is
the boost given to the boxing game
by the army and navy. The other is
the prospect Of considerable revenue
to the state. With boxing bouts run
on large scale this revenue would
be considerable.
Rckard announced last night that
he had insured Jess Willard and Jack
Dempsey for $4,000 apiece and him
self for 100000 with Lloyds. He was
not worrying about place for the bat

At Chignik. on the other hand, the mack was reported about up to that of last year on the corresponding date. Reports from Cook Inlet are conflicting, but the pack so far seems to be short; the last report showed one of the canncries with 75 per cent of the 1918 pack to the corresponding date. and stated that others were farther behind than that This section has made a poor show ing for several years.

The Alaska daily empire., 1919-08-22

Early reports of a short pack from the Bristol Bay district have often proven erroneous in the past, but ldvices received from a number of sources during the last few weeks are in substantial agreement to the effect that the pack of this section s only about 40 per cent of that in 1918. These reports were sent out at a time when packing is usually about at an end; and while the final total may show some improvement the pack is evidently shorter than for a number of years Western Alas ka has not fallen below million cases since 1911, when the pack was 743,206 cases the smallest output since then being 1,316,171 cases in 1915.
 The Herendeen Bay pack is very light, the three consolidated canner- ies reporting about 18,000 cases at the close of the season, near the end of July. compared with about 65,000 cases last year and 19,500 in 1917 The Boring Sea canneries were all ready in good time this season, and a very fair pack of Kings was re ported, but the Red run was ex tremely disappointing. and the prin- cipal shortage is in this grade.}
 The only favorable report from Western Alaska is from the Yukon river cannery, which had some 40,000 cases, mostly fancy Kings, before the end of July, with pack of Me dium Reds still to come.
