DEMPSEY THREE To ONE FAVORITE
IN BENTON HARBOR HEAVY BATTLE

DempHey was upset because of the
wrangling over the referee and did no
work today. Misl1e h Jwever, responded
to the appeal of a crowd and went
through some light exercises
Manager Jack Kearns announced to-
night Dempsey would weigh about 1S9

Both preliminaries are for six rounds
and will be referred by Emerson w .
Dickerson of Grand Rapids, Mich.
Dempsey and Miske are not expected
to enter the ring before $3.50 Central
Standard time There was little bet
! ting done today There has been much
| talk of commissions running into the
| thousands, but very few wagers. The
| odds were to l on Dempsey to win,
[ to s that MislIe wins, and even money
| that Miske will not be knocked out
| The arena was drenched with heavy
ruin today and a canvas covering will
| be stretched over the ring after the
| padding has been thoroughly dried. If
the weather appears threatening to-
/ morrow canvas covering Will be pitched
| over the ring and the ringside seats
and the fight will go on as scheduled.
Benton Harbor, with a normal popu-
lation of 10000 was rapidly doubling
| its inhabitants tonight. Hotels were
crowded to the limit. Promoter Fitz-
simmons was hopeful tonight that
everyone of the 5000 arena seats viii
/ be sold. The sale tonight had reached
between $4,000 and 100000. he said,
and if all seats are sold the gate re-
ceipts will be somewhere between $175,-

BENTON, HARBOR, Mich, Sept. >.
After an all night wrangel over a
choice OF a referee calm settled today
over the training camp of Jack Demp-
sey and Billy Miske of St. Paul, chal-
lenger, who meet here tomorrow after
noon n a scheduled 10-round cham
pionship contest.
James Dougherty of Philadelphia for
whom Dempsey's manager, Jack
Kearns had fought for days, finally
was agreed upon as the third man IN
the ring. But this was only after
Kearns had issued an ultimatum that
he would call off the match if Dough-
erty was not selected. Thompson
Bigger, chairman of the Michigan state
boxing commission, consented at the
last minute to give Dougherty refe-
ree's license
AL A. Day. a Detroit referee was
Bigger's choice, whom he named as
referee at a midnight conference after
Kearns had refused to consider any
other of 10 candidates. When kearns
was advised of this, he informed Pro-
moter Floyd F'itzsimmons that Demp-
sey would not go into tne ring. Kearns
revealed that he had an agreement
with F'itzsimmons when the match was
made that Daugherty was to referee
He declared that he would not consent
| to Day because he hau never seen him
w men Ifle IIldlSt was III
danger of being called off, Chairman
Bigger, Promoter Fitzsimmons and
other principals had a final conference
at daylight at which Day agreed to
withdraw in favor of Dougherty.
Although Dempsey was an over
whelming favorite in the building
! MislSe had hundreds of admirers will
| ing to wager that he would be on his
feet at the end of the tenth round. The
| challenger will go into the ring weigh
| ing about 100 pounds--15 pounds heav-
/ Ter than when he fought Dempsey in
their two previous engagements, in
which Dempsey failed to upset him.
Dempsey's most formidable fighting
assets are his punching powers and
speed. MisSe is aggressive but has
/ been rated as of the Flooding rather
| than the light footed type of ring gen.
eral, and his punching powers have not
gained the fame of a championship
wallop.
The match will be Dempsey's first
since he conquered Jess Willard al
Toledo IA months ago. 1t will be
! Miske's second contest within the same
period as he did not box for a year

ing out Jack Moran of ST. Louis in two
