MOBILIZE IN
NEW YORK
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. 11.-New York
today became the war camp Of con-
tending pugilistic forces as promoters
and managers gathered in attempts to
close arrangements for two major
heavyweight conflicts.
Paddy Mullins, manager of the
negro challenger, Hany Wills, was a
central figure. Tex Richard, inter
acknowledgement promoter; Gene
Tunney, New York ELECTROMAGNETIC
and his manager, Billy Gibson; Floyd
Fitzsimmons of Michigan City. Ind.
carrying a signed agreement Of Jack
Dempsey to battle Wills next sum-
mer; Jack Kearns, who maintains he
still is pilot of the heavyweight
champion. and Jimmy DeForrest,
matchmaker of the Polo Grounds
A. c., are only few of large sup
porting cast in the drama.
Tunney and Gibson arrived from
Saratoga Springs, \. Y, announced
that they would sign articles today
for the New York heavyweight tn fight
Wills next month in 15-round fight
tn n decision at the Yankee stadium.
They arranged last night to meet
Richard this afternoon to complete the
negotiations. ....
NO ANSWER
Mullins was silent. A cable he sent
regarding the Tunney bout TO Wills,
now touring Europe, remains UNI
answered. But, while he declines 10
discuss the Tunuey issue, he is ready
to talk about Dempsey. He also ad-
he e 90 N n
osition of Fitzsimmons, who had
broadcast information that he has Of
fered the champion 100000 to bat
tie Wills next summer.
What part Kearns will play re-
mains for KearnS to decide. Demp-
sey's appropriation of the managerial
reins and his attempt to cut loose
from the man who piloted him through
his previous title engagements, place
Kearns in a role he has never preyi-
ously occupied in n visit here.
DeFOrrest, former, trainer of Demp--
scy, returned here last night inclined
to treat the Fitzsimmons offer OF
81 .000.00 to Dempsey lightly.
"Where is Fitzsimmons going to
get the money!" asked De Forrest, as
he announced that the Indiana mans
agreement with Dempsey requires that
the money shall be deposited in cash
or as n certified check before the
fight.
ACTS GOOFY
De Forrest maintains that Demp-
sey's success as a great fighter has
not yet made him q great business
man.
Dempsey looked to me like a man
who was half out of his head" said
Dc Forrest. He kept running around
in circles and talking in punches. He
shook hands with me five times with
out knowing it. You can take 1t from
me that his real estate investments
in California have got him daffy. /

should say it will take him SIX

Washington and Lee Is Bring
ing a Powerful Team Here
to Play Byrd Eleven

Can Maryland's sturdy unemen
stop the savage attack of the Wash
ington and Lee backfield stars?
That moot question will be decided
Saturday to the queens taste when
the two hook up in an engagement
at the University of Maryland.
In the meantime, every one, in
Guiding the Washington and Lee
board of strategy, seems to have
overlooked the fact that Curly
Byrd's team scored thirteen points
against Yale. Any team that can
do that has an offensive that is
good. True, most of the Maryland
gains were made while the Yale
secondary was in the. game, but the
Maryland boys chung on desperately
until their strength gave out.
Bill Supplee, end, and Kirk Bes-
ley, back. are the Maryland aces.
They will stand lot Of watching
from any opposing team. Short
passes over the line, long ones to
the ends, and short. sharp dashes
into the line are Byrd's speciality.
Both teams report all regulars
in the best Of condition. They
hope for a dry field.

Notre Dame Plays Seventh
Next Year Instead Of Third,
as This Season

WEST POINT. N. Z, Nov. H.
Instead Of appearing In the third
game on the Army's 1926 football
schedule, q position held since 1918,
Notre Dame will be seventh next
fall, according to the official list of
games made public today. This
was DENIED most fitting by both
schools concerned and will be es-
pecially pleasing to the hosts Of
friends that each has throughout
the country. AS usual the Notre
Dame-Army game will take place
in New york city.
For the first time since 1919
Syracuse appears upon the Army
football schedule. They replace
Columbia. The scheduling Of this
game was very gratifying to the
Army authorities, especially since
relations with Syracuse have been
maintained In other sports for
years.
Due to moving the Notre Dame
game back into November, it was
found impossible to make room
otherwise for Columbia, necessita.
ting the dropping Of Columbia from
the schedule. The game this Sat
urday marks the end of a two-year
agreement which the authorities OF
the Academy had made.
The schedule has the unqualified
approval OF Captain John j. Nc
Evan. head coach Of the Army
team, who considers It one Of the
best schedules arranged for the
Army during the past several sea,
sons.
The full schedule follows:
