DEMPSEY WILL
GET BOUTS IN
NEAR FUTURE: !!
World Heavyweight Champion
Is on His Way From Z
Europe After Tour

New York, May 19.-Jack Dempsey,
heavyweight champion of the world,
homeward bound from Europe will be
afforded an opportunity to sign for
a titular bout almost as soon as he
arrives. ....-..
He will be met, in all probability, by
Promoter Tex Rickard in person, and
will be asked at once to meet either
Harry wills or JESS willard during
July or September. In case Dempsey
demurs, Rickard will ask, the cham.
pion to name an opponent whom he
would face either on July or Labor
day.
If the title holder is in a mood for
negotiations and does not ask exorbi-
tant figures for his services, it may
be that arrangements can be made for
a championship bout before he leaves
for his Pacific coast home. Rickard
is desirous of staging another heavy
weight title contest during the coming
summer and while he is not prepared
to bid as high for Dempsey's services
as he did in the bout with Georges
Carpenter last year, he stated that
the champion could have contest II
willing to box for purse OF percent
age in keeping with present financial
conditions. A.
If Dempsey elected to box Wills, the
bout will be held in or near Montreal,
on July 1, which is Dominion day in
Canada. A meeting with Willard
would require more time to arrange
and would not be staged until on or
about Labor day in Jersey City. A Mon
treal bout would probably be for Is
rounds to a decision, while a Jersey
contest would be for IL rounds with
out decision to conform with the state
law

RADIO F'DBAWAY
BALL GETS Q. K.
OF ASSOCIATION
President Hinckley Announces
Complete Vindication of
Pitchers New Delivery
SLUGGERS CAN'T CONNECT

Chicago, May 19-(By the A. P.)-
President Thomas ]. Hickey of the
American Association announced the
complete vindication of the radio
fadeaway" bail perfected by Harry
Weaver pitcher with the indianapolis
club, which has proved SO effective
against Association sluggers.
Although Weaver had endeavored to
conceal the discovery and perfection
of this pitch, which is the nearest ap-
proach to the double-jointed curve yet.
developed in baseball, the managers
and veteran players of the big A. A.
circuit had felt that Weaver had un-
covered new pitch and numerous ef.
forts has been made to show that the
radio fadeaWay was illegal. Frequent
opportunities to get hold of balls were
taken advantage of, and occasional
protests floated into the Office of Pres
ident Hickey. 60
AS result of this, President Hickey
Instructed every umpire to watch
Weaver closely. Later a meeting of
umpires was called here and the radio
fadeaway discussed from every angle.
The umpires agreed that Weaver sim
ply had discovered new method of
propelling the ball SO as to give it a
change of pace and n drop at the same
time. Consequently, the radio fade
away is just as legal as a fast one,
curve or any other pitch that is with.
in the law.
Another interesting sidelight in con.
nection with Weaver's new discovery
is that at least two major league clubs
have been trailing him this year. The
Indianapolis club, however, is closely
allied with the New York Giants; so
that McGraw undoubtedly will have a
radio fadeaway among his slab roper.
toire before the end of the season, II
he SO desires. -. -.
