JACK ARRIVES
AT JERSEY CITY

Residence Where He Will
Remain Until Fight.
(By The Associated Press.)

JERSEY CITY, July Jack Dempsey
arrived here from Atlantic City tonight
in buoyant spirits. Throughout the three
and one-half hour journey, the champion
was the picture of light heartedness.
passing an hour or more en- route in
sleep and then indulging in horse play
much to the discontinue of the other
members of his small party.
He spent the evening and night at a
private residence, where he will remain
until it is time for him to start for the
arena tomorrow afternoon. Attempts to
get the champion into a Pullman COM
partment at Atlantic City without at
tracing attention We're successful by use
ia side enrance at the station. Mike
Trant, the Chicago detective sergeant;
Trainer Teddy Hayes, Mayor Edward
Bader. and an Associated Press corre-
spondent were members of the party. So
effective were the secrecy measures at
Atlantic City that few passengers were
aware at first that the heavyweight
champion was on the train.
Mayor Bader and Dempsey talked for
an hour after the jruoney started when
Dempsey, accustomed toan afternoon nap,
stretched out on the seat of the COM
partment opposite Hayes, who already
had fallen asleep.
Upon awakening, )esnpSeyS 3 DuOyanL

small for him. Emerging into the chair

quently interrupted when passengers
who became aware of the identity of the
youth in a cream colored palm beach
suit, crowded forward for an introduce
tion, passed another hour.
Dempsey added much to the hilarity
of the group by introducing Mayor Bader
as Carl Morris, the heavyweight boxer
from Oklahoma, to several passengers,
who did not doubt his word. At stations
along the way, word was passed cut that
Dempsey was on the train and he was
greeted enthusiastically.
Arriving here, the party escaped
large crowd at the station by emerging
from the deserted side of the train and
rushing toautomobiles, in which the
champion was taken to quarters which
he will not leave until Immediately be-
fore the bout.
The defender was declared by Hayes
to be in perfect condition. He weighed
100 pounds this morning, exactly the
figure at which he has expected fer
weeks to enter the ring. He was clean
shaven today and will probably De shaved
again tomorrow before the bout.

WITNESS LIST
CAUSES A STIR
When 1t Was Learned That the
Name of William Burns
Was On 1t.
(Ry The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, July 1.-The announce
ment of a list Of witnesses to be used
by the state in the prosecution of the
former White Sox players and the al
legged gamblers charged with having
been implicated in the 1919 baseball
scandal today, caused a stir when. it
was learned that the list contained
the name OF VIM. Burns, a former
Chicago American League. team player.
For some time there has been much
speculation as to whether Burns had
turned states evidence. He is the
only one on the long list of witnesses
who is under indictment.
Surprise also was manifested at
the appearance Of the name of Joe
Gideon, former st. Louis player, who
was called before the grand jury but
was not indicted. The fact that the
members of the grand jury which orig
inaIly investigated the baseball scan
dal were included In the list. making
It appear that the state will try to
get into the records the confessions
which were said to have been made,
although later repudiated by Joe
Jackson, Eddie Cicotte and Claude
williams Whether II is permissible
for such evidence to be submitted will
be decided by Judge Hugo Friend
who will begin hearing the case Tues
day.

Pugilistic History Will Be Made
in Huge Pine Board Arena
This Afternoon.
LAST LEGAL OBSTACLE
TO MATCH is REMOVED
Hudson County Grand Jury Re-
fused to Return Indictment
Against Principals.
tRy The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, July 1.-Pugilistic his
tory will be made in a huge board
arena in Jersey City tomorrow after
noon when Jack Dempsey defends his
heavyweight championship against the
fistic challenge Of Georges Carpenter.
1t will be an international glove con-
test in the broadest application of the
term Every section of the globe will
await with keen interest the outcome
of the battle between the American,
holder of a long record of ring VIC
tories, and the F'renchman, noted
equally for his prowess in the squared
circle and on the sterner battlefield
of the world war.
The last legal obstacle to the match
was removed late today when the
Hudson county grand jury refused to
return an indictment charging the
principals and promoters with con-
spiracy to hold a. prize fight in viola
ton of the New Jersey state law.
The setting for the bout will be in
keeping with magnitude of the oc-
casion for seats have been provided
for 1000 spectators and most of them
have been sold. A purse of $500, 900

ard. OF this huge sum, an amount
far in excess of any financial COM
pensation ever offered pugi1ists in the
past, Dempsey will receive $500, 900
and Carpenter 100000, regardless of
the outcome.
Advance ticket sales up to an early
hour tonight amounted to nearly one
and a half million dollars. Regardless
Of the enormous expense attendant
upon the venture Rickard is certain
to clear net profit several times
larger than any that has resulted from
his previous efforts in this direction.
While official figures are not avail
able at this time, 1t is estimated that
the purse, cost of arena and numerous
overhead expenses will mount close
to the million dollar mark.
Rickard, Dempsey, and Carpenter
will not be the only persons to profit
by the "battle of the century as the
contest has been aptly named. Uncle
Sam, as represented by the internal
revenue collectors will receive a large
share of the proceeds. The promoter
principals and scores of others con-
nected with the bout in minor capaci-
ties will contribute under the income

AMERICAN HAS The
BEST in BETTING
Dempsey Is a 2 to l Favorite
Over French Challenger
Many Bets Made.
tRy The AssocIated Pressl

NEW YORK, July Jack Dempsey
probably will enter the ring tomorrow a
2 ID to or to favorite over Georges
Carpenter. the French champion.
When the Wall street brokerage houses
closed today, it was estimated that two
hundred thousand dollars had been placed
during the day on the outcome of the
contest In all five hundred thousand
dollars is believed to have been wagered
in the financial district here. which is not
a high figure compared with some Of the
wagers made in previous titular contests.
The total amount OF money to change
hands in bets on the outsome probably
will run into the millions. although there
is no way of establishing definitely the
exact or approximate amounts wagered
throughout this country and Europe. The
largest single bet of the day here was
$50. 900 to $4,000 that Dempsey would
win. That wager, made early this morn
ing. was exceptional as the odds later
tapered to 2 1-2 to and to I on the
champion. These odds are expected to
continue until the hour of the fight.
Indications a week ago We're that
Dempsey would enter the ring the most
pronounced favorite in modern heavy
weight title bouts.

STATE OF WAR WITH GERMANY
AND AUSTRIA OFFICIALLY ENDS
WITH SIGNING OF RESOLUTION
NO DECISION ON
WAGE REDUCTION
Railroad Unions Undecided on
Final Attitude Toward
IL Per Cent Cut.
tHy The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, Ills, July 1.-Railroad
union leaders tonight were undecided
on their final attitude toward the gen.
eral 12 percent wage reduction which
became effective today on virtually
every railroad in the country by order
Of the United States Railway Labor
Board.
/ Despite considerable dissatisfaction
displayed among many employees, no
reports Of sporadic strikes or any se-
rious threats of strikes were reported
to the union chiefs here today.
Approximately one thousand five
hundred delegates from system organi-
cations of the Big -Four brotherhoods
the shop crafts, the maintenance of
way men, telegraphers, clerks, and
switchmen met here today to canvass
the situation. Heads of the big four
and the sixteen American Federation
Of Labor unions held short meeting
this morning, before the officers sep
arated to convene the organization
meetings.
The executives meeting, it was said,
took no action other than to place the
entire wage situation in the hands of
a committee headed by B. NJ. Jewel,
president of the Railway Employees
Department Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor
While there was no indication of dis
sension between the organizations over
the wage reductions, q definite line
Of demarcation developed. The big
four, according to Harry p. Dougherty,
n oh for ,1F
favorable to accepting the cut as a
necessary evil" although the brother
hoods might not indicate their atti-
tude by any formal resolution of ac-
ceptance.
on the other hand the shop crafts
and maintenance of way men We're
said to be opposed to accepting the
reduction. Both have taken refer
endum votes on the lower scale and
both are reported to be heavily in
favor OF it's rejection. The mainte-
nance of way group, composed largely
of section men, was the hardest hit
of all railway employees in the wage
reduction, the entire increase granted
by the labor board in July, 1920, being
wiped out.
Separate meetings were held by each
of the brotherhoods today and a re-
port of their action will be made at a
consolidated meeting of the big four
tomorrow morning. The clerks, teleg-
raphers and switchmen whose general
chairmen also met today, outlined their
plans, but refused to make any an
nouncement. Reports of all the organi-
zations will be made to the committee
OF FIVE in whose hands, 1t is under
stood, final action is vested.
