 TAKEN IN AT THE
 JERSEY CITY BOUT
Tex Richard Willing to Give Jess Willard Another
 Chance at Title

New York, July 2.--Gross gate re- ceipts of more than sl,60o,oO0 for the Dempsey Carpenter fight in Jersey City this afternoon was announced by Tex Rickard tonight. The pro- moter and a large force of ticket counters were at work upon the cor- pons and books. Rickard said that 1t probably would be several days before a final and accurate account ing could be made.
 So far as could be judged tonight, the paid admi ssions were in excess of S0,000, which, combined with va rious free admissions. raised the to- tai attendance to- trifle more than 90,000, or approximately the seating capacity of the huge arena.
 Rickard also stated that he had 10 intention of demolishing the arena until late next fall. but on the con trary planned to hold several cham- pionship battles between now and Labor Day. He said that he had no particular opponents for Dempsey in mind, but would consider any heavy weight who might prove capable of putting up an interesting contest
 with the champion.
 | |, The promoter evaded direct query | as to whether he would stage a re- l
 and Jack Dempsey on Labor Day. He said however, that he had the as- surance of both Dempsey and his | manager, Jack Kearns. that tho | champion would be available for | contest on September 5.
 T have not heard from Willard | recently" said Rickard, but if Big
 Jess wants another chance at the champion and will agree to put him
 self in the proper physical condi- | ton, l am willing to stage such | match in the Jersey City arena. | can secure, however, several other
 matches for titles in lighter weight
 divisions and may put on one or more such contests before I call on Demp- sey for another appearance in the | ring"
 | Is Satisfied
 | Rickard only expressed satisfaction at the orderly manner in which the I greatest throng that ever witnessed | a pugilistic battle was handled and | inc splendid and sportsmanlike con- | duct and decorum of the 90,000 spec l tators.
 II feel sure," said Rickard. that | today's boxing contest shows that l inc sport can be conducted in such | a manner that will entitle boxing to
 n place on the high plane with other | professional sports such as baseball
 and hockey. There was DO slightest | trouble or disturbance at any time | in the arena and I am pleased be- yond words at the satisfactory man ner in which the greatest promotien | that I have ever undertaken in | boxing line was carried out

 best in the business. The public would not be likely to become greatly ex- cited over Fulton's championship as irations.
 Harry Wills is formidable fight CT, well qualified to extend any fight CT he faces. But he is a negro, and there is no support for him as d contender for championship laurels. When Jack Johnson gets out of pris- on Wills may find promoter will ing to get the two men together, but this looks to be the best that Harry can hope for.
 Knockout Bill Brennan is a seeker for the highest hstic laurels, but while Bill has merits, they are the merits of a second rater. He is not of championship metal The same may be said of Bob Martin of the A. F. +. Martin is clever and hard hitter. but his stature Is by no means that ,of champion. No man that Captain Roper can beat has any license to pose as an aspirant for the throne.

 Returns Home

 Mime. Carpentier listened to the progress of the fight in the editorial rooms of the Petit Parisien. Her optimism did not fail until the fourth round. When the word came that her husband had taken the count she tnrned away and said: Georges is defeated. I shall cancel my trip to the United States and await his re- turn to me-"
 Don't Believe Result
 Hundreds of thousands of persons were standing before bulletin boards on the boulevard. Tt can't be true,' said many of them when tke knock out was announced, but the succeed ing flashes from Jersey City soon convinced the Parisians of the down. fall of their hero. Paris became sad dened and depressed; men, women and children stood In silence while they read how Carpenter was completely outclassed and outfought.

Gibbons, Greb, Willard and Fulton Loom as Possible
 ChaIlengers for Jack
By SPARROW MGANN

cpcOihh SONtcSpohuSht VI Ahc
 New York, July 2.-When will the next battle for the heavyweight championship of the world take place? It is pertty early to answer this question at this time. But since Tex Rickard has strangle hold on the game of big promotion, the chances are he will again be the impresario and that the big amphi- theatre on Boyle's Thirty Acres, or a similar structure, will be the scene.
 There afe now several men who loom as contestants, whereas after Dempsey won over Willard two years ago he was the lonesomest fighter that ever held the title-no outstanding opponent at all. But now there are several men who think they have a chance to win the worlds titular honors and each has following who share their optim- ism.
 Gibbons Is Promising
 Tom Gibbons of St.. Paul, who since last winter has come into the lime light as a formidable knocker out of second and third rate pugilists, is regarded as the outstanding con tender. Gibbons is as fast as Car pentier, hits as we'll and is a hard man to hurt. Indeed, he gives every appearance of being able to stand up under a beating.
 But whether he can take 1t or not {e lsv ic al ness thus far has saved him. As a hitter there can be no doubt about him at all He deals short blows and does not leave himself open. To date he has great many knock outs to his credit
 Greb . Possibility | Harry Greb Is another possibility Ever since Dempsey won his title the Pittsburg ight-heavyweight has been trying to hook up with. Demp- sey, but was unable to gain recogni- tion. Harry Is fast and clever ano can take punishment. His hitting though, leaves something to be de- sired; or at least this has been the case in past bouts. Just now hs looks light, appears more of mid dleweight than light-heavy. As matter of fact. he told the writer the other day that he would have no difficulty in fighting at 16( pounds.
 Jess May Re Chosen
 Jess Willard Is another man whs may come up for consideration. | will be recalled that he was to have met Dempsey in New York las spring, but the bout was sidetrackee in favor of the Dempsey -CarpentieI match. Little has been heard of Jest of late and the Kansas magnate may or may not be grooming himself fol some future business engagement But Jess never did care for trainins and all the chances are that he hal not attempted to keep down the lay CTS of fat that cover an athlete yea by year after he has retired iron Iactivity.
 I If he were to attempt to com back, his first course would be Il meet a number of second raters an' by decisive victories over them con vince the public that he was an eligi ble contender for the crown he ono wore.
 i Fulton Wants Chance
 Fred Fulton keeps saying he Is Il lime for the title and he has lots Q
 qualifications to- back up his atts tude except one important thing
 heart. Stage fright when he is Il iapainst a really good man has al ways hurt him. whereas against dubs
 he is as great man killer as tn

HOLIDAY DOUBLE HEADER AT RICK
 PARK TOMORROW
Tickets for Fourth of July Games Are on Sale at
 Hagan-Dunlap's
By MARVIN MCCARTHY

The big scrap at Jersey City out of the way, attention of Magic City rail- birds is now focused full strength upon the Fourth of July baseball games to be played at Redwood park Monday Two games will be played with the Pelicans, one in the morn ing and the other in the afternoon.
 After their defeat at the hands Of the Vols yesterday, the Barons em- parked for New Orleans last night, where they meet the Pelcans in sin gle encounter today. The two teams catch an early train for Birming ham to be on hand when the umpire calls time for the first game tomor- row morning.
 Karl Eberhard will probably pitch todays game against the Pels. The Barionial hurling corps is still in q badly crippled condition, and the heavy assignment of three games in two days with the Pelicans will add still more to its burden.
 Newton Almost Rendy.
 Doc" Newton is rounding into shape again and may be able to pitch this week. Tom Gallaghers shoul- der is still In pretty bad shape. Toms wing was injured by a batted ball some time ago, and the Irish lad has been on the sick list ever since.
 Then, there's the young recruit, Nichols, who has yet to be given his first real try-out with the Barons. Nichols was signed couple of weeks ago, but he has not been given a chance to show what he can do in league game yet.
