DEMPSEY ACCEPTS
/. PERCENTAGE OFFER
Proposal CabIed to Carpenter.
Richard Is Sole Proprietor
of Bout.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

NEW YORK, Feb. Jack Demp-
sey has agreed to defend his world
championship against Georges Car
pentier on a percentage basis for Tex
Richard.
asxCarpentier has been asked by cable
to agree to a like proposition and is
expected to accept
Meanwhile Richard is today sole
proprietor of the big bout and, ac-
cording to present plans he will pro-
mote it by himself.
After ushering January out with a
series of conferences these announce
ments were made by the aggressive
promoter who has completed arrange
ments to take over the interests of
Messrs. Brady and Cochran.
Jack Kearns' action in meeting
Richard halfway in the mater OF
Dempsey's end of the purse means
that the champion and his challenger
stand better chance of getting to-
gether than they ever have before.
Undoubtedly Richard has agreed to
guarantee Dempsey a certain sum
with a privilege of fat percentage
The same sort of an offer hast been
made to Carpenter, and the total
guarantee is smaller by many thou
sands than the original purse of $780,
600. Richard, Kearns, and all other
interested parties will keep the size
of guarantees a secret for obvious
reasons.
For the present, at least. there will
be no change in plans called for under
the original contract for staging the
bout. Richard has until March !
to name a site for staging the big
bout at any time between May 20 and
July 2. and he confidently expects to
select a site within thirty days.

SEEKS HOREMANS
FOR MATCH IND. c.
George Lewis Goes to Gotham
With Contract for Belgian
BiIIiardist.

Addicts of the ivory CHECKERS. not
the cubical kind, were tossed into
raptures today on learning that
George Lewis, ,majordomo OF Sher-
mans billiard and bowling hosiery,
has departed to New York for the ex-
press purpose of signing Edouard
Horemans, the Belgian balk-line cue
chauffeur. for exhibition games in
Washington.
Lewis escaped on the midnight
choo choo for the big city and con-
fided that he wasn't coming back until
3 he had the Belgique's name to con-
tract for public appearance in WASH
ington. Furthermore, Lewis asked us
not to say that he expects to get Al
bert Cutler to appear here against
Horemans, should the latter conde-
scend to come to the city where Queen
Albert and Queen Elizabeth parked
their royal insteps not SO many
months ago.
CUTLER WELL LIKED.
Editorially speaking. Washington
| billiardists will welcome both Hore-
mans and Cutler. The latter has
popped into the local limelight on
several previous occasions. and his
Workmanship with the broomtsick
has been among the bright spots in
the Washington billiard outbursts
He is well remembered for his play
ing during the days when the billiard
league thrived, and his fancy shots
have amused many Capital theater
audiences.
L., n ta
career, like many stars in other pro-
fessions, when he doesn't have to go
out of New York to CLEAN a living,
and for that reason IL has been very
hard to get him away from Maurice
Days or Jack Doyle's. Howsomever,
Albert has a host of friends in this
city who would be glad to see him in
some kind of return engagement.
and should fate match him up with
the Belgian refugee, M'sieur Hore-
mans, the auspices should be all the
more delightful, as they say in the
society columns.
HAS AROUSED MUCH CHATTER.
There is no end of gossip through
out the East over the proposed match
between Horemans and Hoppe for
the worlds baIk-line belt. 1t would
probably not be encroaching on the
truth to mention that the possibility
of their meeting ranks with the ru-
mored Williard-Dempsey match In
conversation sportive. When man
Is billiard nut, he raves about all
kinds of combinations, and as this
statement is true of fight fan, 1t
must be admitted that the suggested
Hoppe-Horemans encounter would be
quite a magnet.
For the moment, albeit, we would
say that this ambitious invader con-
fine himself to the business at hand.
This, in brief. Is a ,2,400-point 1872 set
to. which is scheduled to begin today
at Days Academy, Gotham. Cutler
Is by all odds the cleverest opponent
Horemans has encountered since he
! evaporated from Belgium. Recently
Cutler established an average OF

thing of the form that "Cut" is In

with Cutler today is the first real op.
portunity the outsiders have had to
measure the foreigners ability.

Anderson Saturday afternoon announced that no decision would be rendered during the day. At that time the court recessed until next week. There is no indication when decision will be announced. There is a possi- bility that the court may desire stenographic notes on the testimony in order that the evidence may be gone over again. In this event there will be delay of several days. All mem bers of the court sat in the case. Sheriff Strength remained in Mont gomery Saturday hoping that. the court would hand down decision In his favor without delay.
