RICHARD SEES BUT
THREE REAL BOXERS
Dempsey, Carpenter, and vii.
lard Constitute Entire
Field, He Says.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-''The heavy.
weight division OF boxing today is
little, IL any, better than IL was when
they were securing the country for
white hopes
"As l see IL there are but three
boxers OF real csliber. They are
Dempsey Carpenter and Willard"
Tex Ricksrd, peer OF boxing pro-
moters. made this interesting state
ment today In discussing the heavy
weight situation In which he has been
deeply engrossed for many months.
"But Bill Brennan managed to stay
twelve rounds with Dempsey and
Bob Martin made a creditable show
ing against Brennan. Then, there
are others" Rickard was reminded.
HAS SEEN 'EM ALL.
"Tve seen practically every one OF
the present day heavyweight sspir-
ants in action" Rickard replied.
"and have failed to discover where
they can be figured with the boxers
l have mentioned. Several OF them
are willing. rugged fellows. but they
simply don't belong. Just why II is
that we have failed to develop more
good heavyweights Is a mystery.
That Is why i have confined my at
tentions for the most part to the trio
mentioned. Incidentally ! expect TO
10 right ahead with the Dempsey-Car-
penier and Dempsey Willard matches.
/ am informed that Charles Coch-
rams signed power OF attorney has
arrived by mail from London and
everything is in readiness for turn
ing over the Cochran Brady inter-
ests to me-"
AS TO OTHER DIVISIONS.
What OF the other divisions.
Rickard was asked.
AS for the middle. welter and
featherweight classes" he said, 81
look on them as practically dormant
I have been unable to interest the
champions of these classes aside from
the recent Britton-Lewis bout. yes,
cannot see why these titleholders
should sidestep anybody. However,
there are a few good middleweights,
fewer weIters and the featherweight
crop is almost as sparse. The light
weights and bantamweights." he
concluded, 1.-The the real live divisions.
1t has always been that way"

Considers Steps to Prevent
Stoppage of Production as
Agreements End.
ARBITRATION IS URGED
Operators Favorable to Such
Action in Emergency
Prior to March.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.--The Govern
ment intervened to-day to prevent any
possible stoppage OF coal production next
March when the bltuminous miners
wage scale agreement expires. but its
efforts after a four hours conference In
the White House between President Har
ding, Secretaries Hoover and Davis and
union officials were said to have been
without immediate avail
The conference was held when the
central committee of the United Mine
workers of America. headed by John l..
Lewis, president of the organization,
came here at the request of President
Harding to discuss with the Administra-
ton the possibility of an undertaking to
arbitrate any ultimate differences with

the national agreements in March. The
committee was received at the White
House at noon, being the guests of the
President at luncheon and continuing
the discussions until late in the day.
At the close Of the conference Mr.
Hoover issutd the following statement

representatives to-day was in Sc
quence of discussions carried on last
week with representatives of the coal
operators under the auspices of the

sire of the conference was to deter

would minimize the danger of stop

piration of the national agreements

ferences.
Owing to the situation OF the min
ers' leaders as the result of the de-
cision of the Indianapolis convention
to defer discussions of the new agree

any immediate arrangement
The discussions of last week referred
to were between representatives of the
National Conference on Unemployment
and representative coal operators, which
resulted. il Is understood. in some express
sion Of willingness on the part OF the
operators to submit any differences to
arbitration prior to expiration of the ex-
isting agreements.
