Fight to Start Early
According to the announcements
sent out from Richards offices veSter-
dsv it is planned to start Dempsey and
Carpenter on their way to fame and
fortune at 8 p. M, daylight saving
time. This would make reports of the
bout available in the East shortly

waited ear to the ground from the time
the men enter the roped arena, will

time. both in London and Paris.
Tex believes that the number of
newspaper men gathered at the Jersey
City ringside when Dempsey and Car
pentier start to shoot them over will
be greater than at any previous ring
battle. The demand for press seats
Is already so large that it has been
decided to divide the reporting section
into two divisions.
About 140 seats will be set apart
at the ringside for those men who
will work in connection with telegraph.
telephone and cable wires. Directly
back of this section Will be arena
boxes and other high-priced seats for
spectators, while & second section of
press seats will be reserved for writ
ers who do not require wire connec-
tons.
Scribes to Handle Press Tickets
Richard has stated that he will solve
The problem OF assigning press tickets
by asking q committee of newspaper
men to take entire charge of the dis
trlbution of them. Can you imagine
the riot when the Remington and Co.
roma portable chauffeurs start to deal
out the pasteboards while they say
Two for me and one for you ?"
Richard intends to have only three
preliminaries before the big bout, and
will try to make these of an interna-
tonal character. like the main fracas.
Tickets for the affair will be placed
On sale next week and prices will range
from S. to $50, and all except the
cheaper sections will be reserved.
Leo "Petulant" Flynn, manager Of
Kid Norfolk, the brunette heavyweight
champion of the wur-ruld, is all peeved
up over the reports that the Kid is
going TO act as Dempsey's sparring
partner.
ANY time Norfolk goes into ring
with Dempsey he's going in there to
knock JAG. OUT" shrieked Leo P. and

VINO was listening to the argument, in
terjected himsel into the conversation
with the remark that Norfolk will meet
jamaica Kid next Tuesday night in the
main bout of fifteen rounds at the
Manhattan Casino.
