Promoters Shying at
 Dempsey-Firpo Bout

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-It is unlikely that Tex Rickard and Frank Flour noy, promoters of recent big boxing championships would undertake to promote in South America a bout be- tween Jack Dempsey, worlds heavy weight champion and Louis Angel Firpo. leader in that class below the equator.
 Why should we go down there and neglect our own business here?" Flour noy queried today when asked if he and Rickard would accept a reported offer to manage such match in Buenos Aires.
 It is becoming increasingly doubt. full that Dempsey and Jess Willard, former heavyweight champion, will meet in the ring this fall as was pro- posed. The promoters, who planned the bout for early in October, re. ceived wod from Willard's camp to day that the former champion is doubt full whether he can get into shape in time for match this year, and that he will not sign a contract unless he is in perfect condition.

Hawaiians Seek to Bar Paddock Record; Charges Are Denied
x .'iF 2 l''
sss--st r

LOS ANGELES, Aug. S.-The Ha- waiian A. A. U. does not want the records made by Charles W. Paddock to become the official sprint records of the Hawaiian Islands and for this reason il. has refused to embody them in an official report to the Southern Pacific A. U., according to a state ment made by Paddock here today.
 "One of the boys told me before I left the islands that if the records made over there were officially estab- lished as the islands records, it would prevent the local runners from ever establishing Hawaiian record" Paddock said.
 Paddock pointed out that he brought back with him affidavits showing the time he made in races, while on his Hawaiian trip and turned them over to Robert Weaver, presi- dent of the Southern Pacific A. A. U. on his arrival here. Referring to the charge made by the Hawaiian record committee that he had "beaten the gun," Paddock declared it to be "all bunk"
 q didn't beat the gun nor did any one else in the Honolulu races" Pad dock said. 'If any of the races were unsanctioned by the A. A. U. I know nothing of it.
 "They were all under the direction of George Center, president of the Hawaiian A. A. U. and so far as know they were regularly sanctioned. also took it for granted that the sprinters, none of whom I ever heard of before, were in good standing"
