Canadians Convince Local
Promoter They Can Hold
Observation-Disclosures
Ry w. /. Macbeth

Tex Richard, who is promoting sim
gle-handed the worlds championship
heavyweight bout between Jack Demp-
sey and Georges Carpenter. to be
fought July . next, will probably de-
eide before another sundown upon an
offer made to him by syndicate of
sportsmen Of Montreal.
Mf Rickard yesterday afternoon was
in conference with c. F. Graham and
n committee of five representing the
interests of the Canadians. Nothing
definite was accomplished, but the con-
ference will be continued to-day Which
shows that Rickard has been impressed
by the proposition of the Canucks.
Mr. Graham, when he left Mr.. Rick
ards office. was very sanguine as to
the probable result Of his mission.
We came down to land the prize
said he "and we do not propose to 20
back0o Montreal empty handed. The,
city desires the attraction; the PROV
ince desires the attraction. We are
willing to gamble high stakes for the
match and have pointed out the way
for Mr. Rickard to make some money
for himself without taking a chance
No Chance for Interference
Interference No chance for inter
ference in Montreal. We have not act
ed prema turely. We know right where
we stand in the eyes OF the law. We
have guarantees that seem to have sat
isfed Mr.. Rickard. There never has
been any possibility of protest except
perhaps from few reformers who
have little weight in the Canadian
metropolis.
Il do not know whether under the
existing law we could put on a finish
tight or whether this would be good
policy. But ! do know we could go as
many rounds as are permitted in New
York or other states where boxing is
permitted in the United States and, if
necessary, perhaps few more"
Richard would in no way commit
him after the conference though he
admitted he had been very much i'm
pressed.
The Montreal offer is mighty
fiattering one Tex said, "and am
sure both Dempsey and Carpenter
20 decide it to be the best policy
However. all of my fight promotions
so far have been confined to the good
old United States, and I hesitate,
quite naturally, about taking what
should prove one Of the greatest
battles of ring history out Of this
country.
Decides On Offer To-day
Montreal, of course, is a different
proposition from going abroad. The
city is of easy access TO the principal
centers of population of the Eastern
and Middle Western states. probably
shall decide definitely on the Montreal
ctfer at to-morrow's conference"
From certain admissions he made
and certain hints dropped on the out
side it may be suspected that Rickard
already has practically decided upon
Montreal. A very close friend Of Tex
insisted last night that tc-day's con-
ference was purely routine affair in
which transfer papers and new con-
tracts would be drawn and ratified by
legal representatives This authority
declares the Canada mission has al
ready been successful.
Rickard stated last night that he
would be prepared to announce the
location Of the big battle within the
next few days a statement which may
or may not substantiate the Montreal

about thirty persons. The mail, bag

into a creek when n trestle bridge over
the stream sagged as the train was

declared pillars of the bridge had been
weakened when a road bridge, torn
loose by flood water upstream crashed
into them. Thirteen injured, accord
ing TO the railroad company's office
here, were taken to a Hot Springs, 5.

was the first to fall, and was buried
beneath the chair car. The smoker
was hurled a considerable distance,
but landed in an upright position. In
the confusion that followed the crash
reports were circulated that a large
number of passengers had been killed,
but 1t was stated at the cOmpany's Of
