DEMPSEY YET TO
MEET TUNNEY IN
N. y, IS REPORT.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

NDW YORK, July 2.-The sugges-
ton that Tex Rickard, in spite of the
state athletic commissions opposition.
had not altogether given up hope of
promoting the Dempsey Tunney heavy
weight title match at the Yankee sta
dunn, was advanced today in well in
formed boxing circles at the same
time that reports were circulated
claiming the fight for Jersey City and
Chicago.
Just what procedure would enable
Rickard to stage the fight in New
York in the face of its being officially
outIawed by the commission was not
disclosed, but it was suggested that
resignation of one OF the members OF
the commission would pave the way.
James A. Farley, chairman of the box
ing board and George Brewer formed
thel combination which turned down
the Dempsey-Tunney bout here, but
neither has given any indication of
relinuuishing his position, especially
while under fire.
Rickard said today he probably
would visit Chicago next week for a
conference with interests negotiating
for the transfer of the battle to the
Illinois city. He said he expected t.
name his site definitely within ten
DAYS. Other reports today indicating
that Dempsey was arranging to pitch
a training camp in New Jersey gavs
local color to the selection of Rick
ards Jersey arena, Boyle's Thirty
Acres, as a site for the title match.
The Newark Evening News printed
a story that the champion, through
his trainer, Gus Wilson, was nego"
tiating for quarters at Bernardsville,
near Newark. Freddy Walsh, former
lightweight champion, now proprietor
of a health resort at Summit, N. j.,
was quoted as saying Dempsey soon
would visit his place, which also is

KANSAS
AND MANDELL.
MEETING TODAY

CHICAGO, July 2.-After lapse of
25 years legalized glove fighting re-"
turns to Chicago tomorrow, with
Rocky Kansas of Buffalo, the veteran
lightweight champion, defending his
title against Sammy Mandell, youth
full challenger of Rockford, ILL.,, in
10-round contest to a referees de-
cision.
The contest, the first to be legally
decided in Chicago since the memoir
able fake between Joe Cans and Terry
McGovern in 1900, will be staged in
the Chicago American league park,
home of the White Sox, with the pros
poets of an attendance of 10000 to
$4,000, and gate receipts of 100000
to $115,O0O. The match will be for
charity, promoted for the Loyal order
of Moose. The profits will be devoted
to building the Illinois memorial gym
nasium for the orphaned children at
Mooseheart, the home maintained By
the national organization for widows
of it's members and their children. To
unprej judiced observers, the contest
presents a boxer meeting a fighter.
About that usually furnishes action.
Kansas sole chance appears to be in
stopping the (Rockford sheik early.
Kansas knows that he must fight
Mandell, not box him, and he must
fight him hard enough to make Man
dell forget about his boxing ability
and fight back. Because the contest
will be to a referees decision, Kansas
cannot allow the usual procedure of a
charnnion and merely defend himself
He knows that unless he wins he will
be headed for the pugilistic junk heap
Kansas and Mandell both are below
the required weight of 1876 pounds
they must make at 10 o'clock tomor-
row morning and each is satisfied
with his own condition.

noon at 1 o'clock the two teams will
play at Bisbee aslpart of the Fourth

schedule.
Murphy is slated to hurl for the

oppose either Henry or Tucker, the

Sunday, Manager Bunny Lindsay will
probably call Underwood to the mound,
with Gomez in reserve for the final
contest here at 4 o'clock Monday aft

Brandenberg, new Blue outfielder,
will probably be given an opportunity
to show his speed this afternoon in
the outer garden and his hitting is
counted upon to help the locals con-
siderablys Chester lis expected to be
back in the harness behind the plate
today and his hitting and catching
ability should do wonders for the. To-.
Gals. Although Bisbee has improved
greatly and is entering the second half
with plenty of confidence, on the face
of things the locals should take two
out of three in the coming series
Unless Bunny Lindsay takes the sec
ond sack today, Brandenberg will
probably alternate with Story in the
outer garden. This will leave Pereya
in left, Chase at first, Lee or Lindsay
at second, Weaver at short, Herb
streith at third, Chester behind the
bat and Murphy on the mound.

CYLINDER SAILS

Anton Flettner's famous rotor ship has
fully crossed the Atlantic and is exhibition in
New York. Soon it will go demonstration tour
inland, through the Great Lakes Millions will be in
terested in it.
This freak vessel, as people who care about such
matters probably know by this time is propelled by
making use of principle in wind power. Instead
of sails, Flettner cylinders. There are two of
them his Baden Baden set up like huge smoke
stacks. The wind blowing against them they stand
might move the vessel-f it blew hard enough, and
in the right direction. Fettner rotates the cylinders
rapidly and thereby applies the force of the wind at
right angles to its direction. ntensyng the pressure
the windward side and benefting also by partial
created the lee side The result, he is
to get 10 times much propulsive power from the
wind as sail of the area would get.
1t doesn't sound possible. Yet that fool ship has
sailed-Or rather cylindered-across the Atlantic,
driven part of the time by her water but
ing at least 1000 miles by wind power alone The roors
look absurd and also small compared with the size of
the ship. Yet the BadenB Baden crowned her long voy
age by speeding up New York bay the of eight
knots hour driven only by the breeze, applied
through those smoothly whrling rotors, turned by
a small gas engine.
This is said to be the only notable contribution to
sailing since the invention of the fore-andaft sail 1t
suggests that the sailing game may not be dead yet,
for either profit or sport This mechanical device
may be improved and others invented. The four winds
may not be wasted even in an age of gas engines.

REPTDIATED STATE DEBTS

There is no denying that the continued talk of
Englishmen about repudiated American debts is
barassing 1t is heard more than Uncle Sam
brings the last of his big debtors to settlement.
1t is Just we'll to get this thing straight. After
the Civil War eight southern states borrowed in Eng
land, for reconstruction purposes about S600000,000,
which has never been paid.
This blunt statement does not tell the whole
truth The justifying mitigating circumstances
follows: the state governments at the time
in control of "carpet-baggers, and the govern
ments repudiatng the debts later did the ground
that the borrowers did represent the states
the loans were invalid and the money wasted
that they derived no benefit
That, however, did not make the British leaders
feel any better about their lost investment and does
not pacfy their heirs and is ugly thing have
thrown up to Americans who have no interest in the
matter beyond the honor of their country.
1t is suggested by some that, inasmuch as Great
Britain first to adjust her debt to this coun-
try and is paying more liberal scale than any
other debtor, though under great difficulties, the
United States might those old state debts, meet
ing them from the British payments
That would be highly honorable thing to DO. 1t
might also be profitable in quietng criticism, promot-
ing foreign good will and encouraging foreign trade
