with Spencer Gardner, fighting little
featherweight from Newport, r. r..
This will be a real test of the fistic

Ahearn year ago. Gardner has
whipped the best in the land. Red
Chapman was his victim four times.
Spencer is known throughout the
land as one of the greatest club

a fighter that takes chances will be
beaten occasionally. It's Ahearn's
big chance to go out and take ad
vantage of Gardner's natural fight

CHICAGO, July 20.-Tex Richard
today was the central figure in tale
of two cities-Chicago and New York

the next ring appearance of Jack

The promoter appeared inclined to
remain in the background and plunged
back into the conferences which have
occupied his time since he arrived
Saturday.
would be able to say whether Demp.
sey would risk his crown in Chicago
ring with Gene Tunney, presumably
in September. The announcement was
to have been made last night, but
Richard pleaded unsettled details.
Two things served temporarily to
shift attention from Richard to the
New York Boxing Commission.
Commissioner William Muldoon said
he was going before his colleagues to.
day and reopen the matter of the COM
missions edict against the Dempsey
Tunney fight in New York. Muldoon
indicated his intention OF being ag.
gressive, because he wants the cham
pionship contested in the East.
Here a group of promoters were
suggesting tnat hlckard was only u.s.
ing Chicago as a club to make the
New York board retract. It also. was
suggested that Richard might be de.
laying his announcement as to whether
the fight would be here or In New
York until after the commissioners
talked things over.
The promoters. headed by B. c..
Clements, pointed to signature of
Dempsey to meet Harry Wills in Sep
TENDER and declared Richard could not
stage a Tunney. Dempsey match until
the champion meets the negro chal-
lenger.
Rickard responded by saying that
this contract had become void when
Clements and his associates had failed
to pay $125,o00 to Dempsey on a re-
cent specified date. He denied that he
was interested In Chicago only as a
foil and went on comforting.
