BATTLE CALLED OFF ONCE; BUT LAST MINUTE EFFORT MADE TO SAVE THE BOUT
ARENA WILL HAVE. TO BE REPAIRED BEFORE BIG BOUT

JERSEY CITY, N. J.. July 2.-The boxing arena on Boyles Thirty Acres, scene of the Dempsey -Carpen- for It's use for the Wilard-Firpo match on July 12 will be granted, unless it is repaired.
 This assertion was made today by Commissioner Saul of the Jersey City building department, who de clared that settling of the ground had placed a great strain on sup many floor boards were warped or decayed and the aisles were in an unsatisfactory condition.
 The commissioner had sent two inspectors to inspect the stadium, which was built over a filled-in stream.
 Unless I am absolutely satisfied that the stadium Is safe there will be no permit issued for the fight" |" said Saul. "If the stadium shows the slightest indication that 1t may not be capable of holding the thou sands of people who will attend the fight, I will not allow 1t to go on. l expect to have my report completed On Thursday and then l will make a personal inspection to see that ev- erything is o. K"
 The great yellow pine saucer was built in 1921 especially for the inter- national heavyw eight boxing bout in which Jack Dempsey knocked out Georges Carpenter, pride of France. The official attendance was an- nounced as more than 90,000. The stadium cost several hundred thou sand dollars.
 Today's cloud was the second to float over the match arranged be- tween Willard and Firpo to determine which shall face Champion Dempsey. The first cloud, soon brushed away, was the announcement that the Kan sas giant would not be permitted to step into the ring unless he passed a stiff physical examination. This he did.
 Steps will be taken immediately to put the arena in condition for the bout, it was said today at the office of Tex Rickard, who is promoting the match. Astonishment was eX- pressed that Jersey City officials had found anything wrong with the structure. Richards aides said they were sure repairs could be completed by July 12
