discussed in Los Angeles next
week at a conference OF Dempsey,
Fitzsimmons and Ray Cannon, Mil
waukcc attorney, legal adviser to
The champion. Boylc's thirty acres
in New Jersey may be the battle
field.
Richard. who always maintained
that the bout would be a financial
failure anywhere but in New York,
says it is all news to him. He
dropped out of the case when
Dempsey split with Jack Kearns,
his former manager, with whom
Rickard had an agreement that
Dempsey would fight for no other
promoter.
The champion, in Los Angeles,
admitting that the contract with
itzsimmons has been broken, is
not greatly concerned. He under
stands that another offer may be
made to him but does not know
he says, what it is to be.
The offer is coming from a Chi
cago syndicate anxious to bring the
bout here. says Bob Roy Benton,
press agent and spokesman for
Dempsey. Everything is about set
tied except some necessary details
covering financing and prom otion,

The president Of the Chicago
syndicate will go to Los Angeles

the requirements OF the proposed
contract no other promoter has a
chance, even though, Benton con-

Detroit. Fitzsimmons has ten days
to meet the conditions.
