TEN DOLLAR BILL
MAY STOP fight
Question as to Whether DeInp-
Sey'S Contract Is Valid or Not

Chicago, July 20 OP-Various huge
sums of money, some of them resem-
bling the public debt, have been
mentioned here nonchalantly as
plans to match Jack Dempsey, three
years Idle, with some opponent, have
! progressed, but ironically a mere SO
bill, or in sport parlance, a sawbuck.
seems TO have thrown flight arrange
ments into the realm of uncertainty.
mat lowly $40 binds a contract
which 1t is asserted was entered in
TO by Dempsey and Floyd Fitzsim-
mons with B. C. Clements, president
of the Coliseum Athletic club and
which calls for match between the
champion and Harry Wills, negro
challenger.
And Tex Richard, who already has
announced that Dempsey would
meet Gene Tunney here in Septem-
Der, says that if the Clements con-
tract is held valid by his attorneys,
he would stop negotiations for the
bout temporarily at least and might
decide on Jersey City for the loca-
ton after all.
While attorneys. promoters, f1nan-
cial hackers and others interested in
tht two matches were diminishing
here, new note came from Los An
geles, with the word that Estelle
Taylor, film star, had left hurriedly
to join her husband, the champion,
at Colorado Springs. Colo, from
which point Dempsey yesterday an
nounced that the preliminary plans
for his go with Tunney were o. X.
The Los Angeles story quoted
private advices from Colorado
Springs as indicating that Dempsey's
acceptance might be only tentative,
and that he apparently was waiting
to receive the advice of his actress
helpmate, on which he is known to
place reliance.
The only news having to do with
peace came from New York, where
William Muldoon, member of the
state athletic commission, who has
oeen fighting to bring the Dempsey
Tunney contest to New York, with
1rew his motion to reopen the case
after the commission had turned
humbs down on the contest, thus

PLAY NEW HAVEN
New Britain Tennis Club Meets
Edgewood Club Tomorrow After
noon On Local Courts.

The New Britain Tennis club
tournament team will meet the
Edgeweek club of New Haven in the
last match of the Central Connecti-
cut Tennis league at the club courts
on Lincoln Road tomorrow after
noon starting at 2 o'clock.
The tennis committee has named
the following players to battle the
New Haveners: Singles, C. Kron, A.
Benson and H. Bassette; doubles, C.
kron and A. Benson and c. Christen-
son and s. Duncan.
New Britain will make a good bid
for the match tomorrow because the
team has been hitting a fast stride
for the past few weeks. Last Sat
urday, New Britain took six straight
sets from Bristol and a duplication
of this feat tomorrow would put the
Hardware City aggregation high in
the standing.

MANAGERS TO MEET
Plans TO Be Laid Tonight For City
Championship Among Major Base
ball Teams.

Tonight at $40 o'clock In the
Herald office, Managers Pat Buckley
of kensington, John Tobin of the
Corbin Red Sox and Joseph yaniski
of the Falcons win assemble to dis
cuss plans for settling the cham
pionship of the city again this sea-
son. The Corbin Red Sox won out
for the pennant last year over three
other contenders including the Ken
sington, Falcons and Pirates teams
in an elimination series and the
games were so successful that the
managers have decided to get an
early start again this year.
1t is possible thot the managers
will decide at tonight's meeting to
form a three-team league instead of
an elimination tourna-
ment. The teams will probably play
a stipulated number OF games, home
and home and the one that ends up
the play with the highest average
will be declared the winner and |
champion outfit of the city.

board.
The peregrimations of the Glenn
ents contract reveal some interesting
financial transactions. If it is held
valid he must pay Dempsey $500, 900
by August 5 and $500. 900 more ten
days prior to match with Wills.
If the first payment is made and
the hight is not held, the $500, 900
would be forfeited to the champion.
fftzsimmons, who represented
Dempsey last September when the
agreement was signed at Niles,
Mich, says the Clements papers are
worthless because the Coliseum club
did not pay him a 100000 INSTALL
ment of $150.O00 agreed for the
contract assigning Dempsey's serv-
ices from Fitzsimmons to Clements
He exhibited an unpaid draft on
the Coliseum club as proof.
The only man who has profited
so far from the disputed contract is
Wills, who received $4,000 when he
signed at Niles. After the contract
was assigned to the Coliseum club.
Clements said he entered into a new
agreement with Dempsey in which
the $40 bill was binder.

PRESS CENSORSHIP
Prediction Made That Government
May Have To Take Charge

Hickory, N. c., July 20 P)-Fed-

years unless steps are taken to pre-

Dixon, author and playwright.
There is a growing demand for
censorship of the press, and unless
the forces go in motion toward the
accomplishment of this purpose are
met and destroyed, they will win,"

night. Newspapers are the su-

progress of law against the voice of

The crucial clash of the New
| Britain Industrial league of the
present season will be played tomor-
row afternoon at Willow Brook park
when Landers, leaders of the league.
meet Fafnirs, occupants of second
place. The game will take place at
2 o'clock on Diamond No. 1 at the
park and will bring out the largest
crowd of rooters to assemble at the
park this year. it is thought. The
game will probably decide the ulti-
mate winner of the pennant and
needless to say. both teams will be
out in full strength to cop the game.
Three other games are also sched-
-uled to be played at the park, P. &
F. Corbins will meet the New Britain
Machine Co. on Diamond No. 2 at
2 o'clock; Stanley Works will meet
Union Works on Diamond No. 2 at
o'clock and the Stanley Rule &
Level will play r. & E. on Diamond
No. 1 at 4 o'clock
All four games win be sizzling en-
counters because as the second half
of the league gets on. the race for
the pennant is becoming tougher.
Landers now leads ~ a margin Of
two full games over Fafnirs and
the Stanley Rule teams, but Fafnirs
has an opportunity to take jump
closer to the leaders by winning to-
morrow. Fafnirs has one postponed
game to play off against the New
Britain Machine Co. and the date for
this has not yet been set. Another
postponed game which will be play
ed off soon is the one between the
R. & f. and Union Works teams.
This game was at first forfeited to
the Union Works but at meeting
of the league managers, it was de-
cided to have the game played over
again.
