"Just what those terms are" our
Mr.. Kearns resumed. "I am not
prepared to say at this time. Rick
ard knows what they are. When
the time comes we will talk busi-
ness and If all goes well will
sign for Dempsey. It goes without
saying that II arrangements are not
satisfactory to us there win be no
bout. However, I have every con-
fidence that Rickard and I will ar
rive at an understanding in due
time. He has my assurance that
Dempsey is ready to meet any one
under satisfactory conditions"
Just what those conditions might
be only Kearns and Rickard know.
1t is understood that Kane signed
for Gibbons at a tacit offer Of
100000, win, lose or draw. although
arrangements Of this sort are sup
posed to be taboo in New York.
This, IL true, would incline one
20 believe that Dempsey will ask
ct least $3OO, 900 for his end with
tho rest to cut in on the velvet
over and above q certain total OF
the receipts.
Outside Of finances, the champion
and his manager are not particularly
interested in the remaining details.
It is said that Kane insisted upon a
fifteen-round bout to a decision as
was the case at the last Dempsey
Gibbons meeting at Shelby. This will
be quite all right with Kearns. It
means that the bout will be held in
New York, probably at the Polo
Grounds.
Rickard, however, declined today
to go into details except the an
nouncement that Kane had accepted
terms for Gibbons. He would name
neither place nor date, saying that
his plans were indefinite.
That the affair will take place
early in the outdoor season is
regarded as q certainty. It is be-
lieved, i'm fact, that q tentative
date has been set for Memorial
Day, in order that Dempsey may
take liberties with other and per.
haps less Obdu1ate chins.
One of the latter will adorn the
neither end of Luis Firpo's
countenance and the business of
taking liberties with it is down, ap-
propriately enough, for July 4,
Americas day of liberty. This will
leave Labor Day open for the odd
chance that Harry Wills might re-
ceive official tolerance and get a
bout with the champion.
In case he does not, it is possible
that Kearns may take the Dempsey
Wills proposition to Jim, Coffroth at
Tia Juana. Wills has been in the
Ice box over long and will not keep
indefinitely.

Joe Firpo, no relation to Dead
Pan Louie, was fighting Al Nc
Coy, no relation to the ex-champ
from the Gowanus canal.
The men had boxed about
thirty-five seconds when Mr..
Firpo socked Mccoy right on the
button Gand flattened him. AT
the count of "eight" Referee
Irwin stepped back to give Mr.
Mccoy more room as he appeared
about to resume hostilities.
Mr.. Mccoy did arise, but he
was balmy from the sock and,
mistaking the referee for the gent
who had flopped him, let go with
left and right. Mr.. Irwin, the
referee, backed up by the cheers
of the multitude, also sailed in
and with the very first punch to
the lunch basket put Mr.. Mccoy
away for the evening.
After dropping his man, the
referee coolly walked over and
did the one-up-to-ten thing and
then gave the fight to Firpo.
The decision was popular. A
good time was had by all.
