MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 21.-Erank Nc
CormiGk. Minneapolis boxing promoter,
round no-decision fight here next Labor
day between Tommy Gibbons of st.
raul and Champion Jack Dempsey, ac-
cording to an announcement made here
today by Jack Kearns, Dempsey's man
ager.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 27.-It's the hard
est thing in the world for Jack Dempsey
TO get a fight. Certainly there are a lot
OF opponents, but when the promoters
get the champ matched with any one
the blue law" bysEmust be commended
It's much easier to put on couple Of
nghtwelghts or middles In a champion
| ship bout. for there isn't so much pub
licity and interest. But a heavyweight
contest always makes a lot or trouble.
That's what Jack Dempsey, who is ap-
pearing here in vaudeville this week, had
to say today in regard TO future bouts.
Jack thinks that he will take on Bill
Brennan again before he meets Jess VIII
/ Iard, but no arrangements have been
completed for the bout.
Dempsey thinks pretty well of Tommy
Gibbons ability, but figures that Tommy
! should beat Carpenter first before de-
handing a match with him. He feels
certain that Tommy and the Frenchman
will get together in February as sched-
| uled. He wants to meet the winner, for
| he'd rather battle than eat"
The champion realizes that purses for
heavy weight contests will never be as
large y the 100000 drag that he and
Carpenter pulled down last July. Demp-
sey intimated that as long as everything
else was coming down, his price probably
would too. He knows that there never
VIII be another attraction like the bout
July and that promoters won't be so
anxious to come through with such
purses again.
Jack also feels that Jess Willard should
| get out and engage In a couple Of scraps
before meeting him again.
They'll stand for anything down East
and l suppose they'll bring Jess on
without letting him appear in any bouts"
Most fans" continued Dempsey,
! think that Jess wasn't in the best shape
be he wasn't. The fans are the ones 10
be pleased. If they want Willard again,
that's all right with me-"
