JACK SEEMS PEEvED
(By Dispatch A. p wire1

COLORADO. SPRINGS, July 23.-The
attempt of B. E. Clements of the Chi
cago Coliseum club to halt Tex Rick
ards plans for a Jack Dempsey-Gene
Tunney titlular bout in September
as cheap publicity"
elements never saw 100000, and
his word isn't worth a quarter Demp-
sey said, when informed that the Chi
cago promoter was still blocking
Richards negotiations HE hasn't
brokeY his word with me one, but
dozens of times. He couldn't stage a
fight, and he knows it, and is merely
seeking cheap publicity
'There was a tentative agreement
with Fitzsimmons to defend my title.
The articles were put in escrow to be
delivered to Fitzsimmons when $780,
900 was paid me. The money was
snever paid, and the papers We're re-
turned to me. ! have them in my
Vault y Los Angeles. That agree
ment is void I have no contract with
Fitzsimmons. II he were associated
with Fitzsimmons he has no claim
whatever on my services, as the ten
tative articles with Fitzsimmons have
been cancelled"
Dempsey added that the $40 in ques-
ton had nothing to do with the Fitz-
simmons contract, which was returned
to the champion on the payment
of the $250,000, and had to do with a
secondary agreement only valid in the
event of qhe ,consummation of the
Fitzsimmons contract. Dempsey de-
clared that had the Fitzsmmons con-
tract materialized he had agreed to
permit Fitzsimmons to turn the bout
over to Clements. Dempsey said how
ever, that the cancellation of the Fitz-
simmons agreement automatically, in
validated the agreement involving the
$40 bill
"You can tell Rickaro, Clements and
the rest of them that have contract
with no one Dempsey said. "Cle-
pay the stipulated sum, and not until
August s, as he claims. He never
saw 100000, anyway. You can't make
my denial too strong"
Dempsey said Rickard alone had an
option on his services, and that he is
anxious to fight and nave the matter
settled. The block Clements has put
across Richards plans irritated Demp-
sey, who placed all of Clements as
sertions in the classification of
bunk"
"I supposed Rickard does want the
legal tangle Strengthened out before
he goes ahead with his plans, but you
can assure him that he alone has an
option on my services"

BENTON HAS PAPERS.

Benton, veteran sports writer and
fight follower, wh accompanied Jack
Dempsey, heavyweight ring champion,
casa when the now much discussed
Dempsey Wills match was programmed
by Floyd Fitzsimmons announced here
today that he had documents in his
possession which would raise a legal
barrier against Tex Rickard carrying
out his plan to have Dempsey meet
Gene Tunney in title bout at Chicago
in September.
Benton quoted an unnamed, but he
declared, an outstanding boxing Off
cial in the east, to the effect that the
files in Bentons hands were the key
to the situation which has raised q
strenuous argument between Rickard,
boxing promoter in Chicago, boxing
promoters in Indiana and others.
In the list of letters, telegrams and
contracts which Benton says he holds,
are some relative to the Fitzsimmons-
Wills-D Dempsey agreement which the
champion himself has not seen.
Benton also asserted he had full
charge of the Wills-Dempsey negotiaS
tions and their aftermath, as well as
subsequent developments in the run
ming chase of promoters to sign the
champion for a title bout, together
with notations of terms banded about
in the fistic world to land the scrap
and actual money paid.
