BIDDING OPEN TO ALL.

"In one particular this match will
differ from others and that is in the
matter Of the selection Of promoter
The procedure in recent matches mas
been to arrange with one promoter
and not give the others chance to
bid. In the present instance the mon
will agree Oh conditions for the con.
test, sign articles of agreement and
post forfeits Of $4,000 each to guaran
tee appearance in the ring. Naturally
tho exact date OF the ecdunter will not
be set down in the articles, for the
promoter would need to have some
thing to say about that essential.
"rhe articles no doubt would set
forth that the men would meet in the
ring between certain dates, and the
promoter would be required to name
period in the interval Of which Ee
will guarantee t. put the contest In
the ring
Having made the match by sign
ing articles and posting forfeits an
nouncement will then be made that
the promotion Of the bout will go 10
the highest bidder. No doubt there
are several promoters throughout thu
country who will want to pu. in a bid
and it will be up to Kearns and Mul.
Inns to sift them and pick out the best
one"
RICHARD INSISTS UPON DELAY
When Tex Rickard was made &C.
quainted with the situation he said Lee
would not be bidder unless the
fighters consented to postpone the con
test until next summer. Richard reit-
Grated his declaration, made scvera
days ago. that it would not DO possible
to prepare for so important contest
inside Of six to eight months Kearns
also recently declared that Dempsey
would need several preparatory fights
to assure good condition for the title
contest.
Muldoon speaking unofficially, made
q suggestion to Dempsey that the
champion may be induced to act on.
Dempsey, who takes good care of
himself" said Muldoon, ais in splendid
health and strength at the presen.
time. But he is not in fighting form.
There Is simple and effective meth
Oh by which he could get himself into
first class fighting condition. It is ab
surd to even talk Of championship
matches between Dempsey and mel.
like Greb, Brennan, Willard, Martin
and others. Yet If the champion met
these men in handicap matches the N
terest in the contests would be great
For example, Dempsey could make
q match with Greb, under the condi.
lions of which the champion would
undertake to stop Greb in a six, eight
or ten round limit. If Dempsey failed
to stop his man 1t would be so much
glory for Greb and Dempsey would
not lose his title"

New York, Aug. lin a session
of leisurely trading, stocks were al
most uniformly strong. Save for
some weakness in National Acme
and the Willys.Overland issues, prices
in both the railroad and industrial
groups moved forward throughout the
session.
New highs for the year were
reached by U. S. Industrial Alcohol
International Paper, Brooklyn Edi'

Harvester and National Cloak and
Suit. In the railroad section, Great
Northern preferred, New York, Chi
cago and st. Louis, the Wabash and
st. Louis and Southwestern issues
went into new high territory for 1922.
While the outlook was encouraging
for early peace in the coal mining
strike, the railroad labor situation
was still shrouded with uncertainties.
But stock values very evidently took
into consideration how far the cur
rent labor troubles are thrown into
obscurity by such important factors
governing the longer future as the
federal reserve ratio at SO,4 percent,
the highest point touched since Aug.
1917.
