TEX RICHARD MAY
MATCH GENE TUNNEY
AND JACK DEMPSEY

New York, March 29-(AP)--Pro-
moter Tex Richard today announced
he had signed Gene Tunney to a
blanket contract under which the
former American light heavyweight
champion agrees to fight any oppon-
ent Rickard may select for him dur
ing the 1926 outdoor season.
Although Rickard made no explain
atory comment, observers accepted
his action today as the first official
move in his announced intention of
bringing Tunney and Jack Dempsey
together this summer in a heavy
weight championship battle. Yankee
Stadium in New York City is eX-
pected to be the scene of the pro-
posed match as result of the failure
of the New Jersey state legislature to
pass a bill increasing the top price
Of admission for boxing contests to
$50.
The New York promoter now is ex-
pected to make an immediate attempt
to close with Dempsey. If he fails TO
complete this match, critics here look
for a bout between Tunney and Har-
ry Wills, Dempsey's negro chal1en-
ger. who has been accepted by the
New York state athletic commission
as outstanding contender for the
heavyweight crown.

PROSPECTS FOR
DEMPSEY TUNNEY
FIGHT ARE GOOD

New York, March 2s.-(AP)-Ears
Of the eastern boxing followers are
attuned for an important announce
nlent Is expected this week from the
offices Of Tex Richard. The prospect,
now declared to be almost a prob
ability, Is that the champion heavy
weight Of the world, Jack Dempsey,
will meet the American light heavy
weight champion, Gene Tunney. this
summer. The prospect would seem
to erect another fence in front Of the
perennial challenger, Harry Wills,
the Negro. who has been engaged In
title quest for many years. Accord
ing to the New York State Athletic
commission, which has decreed many
things with a large measure OF sue
cess, Wills Is the logical challenger
and up to this time the commissions
attitude has remained unchanged.
But there Is a rumor, well defined
that before long the New York Of
ficials will decide that Wills brought
upon himself some sort Of penalty
for signing to meet Dempsey after
the champion had drawn the COM
missions ire. This would open the
way to a bout between Dempsey and
Tunney.
Rickard is seeking the Yankee
Stadium but If unable to make ar
rangements for the use Of the base
ball park this season, he Is said to be
prepared to build 100000 structure
in the Metropolitan area. The Stad-
ium could be raised in three months
under present plans. Boyle's Thirty
Acres in Jersey City is undesirable
for a championship contest as the
Jersey legislature failed to pass a
bill which would permit $50 ring
side price. Moreover, decisions are
not permitted in New Jersey.
Tunney Is in New York. having ar
rived from Miami Saturday night,
and he says he stands ready to meet
anyone, but would prefer Dempsey or
Wills. The Times says today that
a friend has received telegraph1c
word from Dempsey reiterating the
champions intention of defending his
title against Tunney in August under
the direction of Richard.
| Meanwhile Young Stribling, Tho
also would fight any man to be nam
ed, has gone back to his Georgia
home to await another call to strife
