Rickard to Remain,
Il will 60 through with the bout
As originally. agreed" said Tex
Richard in denying the report that
1.-THE bout had been cancelled.
:Evea il am compelled to- play
a lone hand, the Dempsey Cafpen-
tier contest will take place as
scheduled July 2. The purse Of
$4,000 will stand, and / expect
the bout will be held in Canada or
London"
1.-The action Of the New York
state boxing commission in placing
q limit on prices for boxing con-
tests, precludes tha possibility Of
, holding the bout in New York, but
, we have several good offers from
Quebec, Montreal and Toronto, and
. 1.-THE chances are that the fight vii

cities.
