CHICAGO PUTS BAN
ON HEANYWEIGHTS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, July 2S.-The Illinois
Boxing Commission. silent while two
promoters were busily arranging for
Jack Dempsey's defense of his title
in September, has settled what re-
mains of the controversy by announc-
ing that there will be no heavyweight
fight in Chicago under anybody's
management
The commission believes that
heavyweight fights do not fit into the
boxing picture in Illinois, that $40 is
enough to pay for any kind of a
fight ticket, and that SIS is the alb
solute top. When the Dempsey ne.
gotiations were in progress here $50

I'VE do not interpret the law to
call for a spectacle OF that kind" he
said I'VE aim to regulate boxing so
that II will be a sport at which ladies
may attend. We do not think heavy
weight fights would provide such
sport.
with regard TO the Dempsey-Tun-
ney and Dempsey Wills fights. we had
no information officially. Neither Tex
Richard nor r.. G.. Clements thought

matter.
I'VE have read that Dempsey and
one of his opponents were guaranteed
81 100, 900 by one promoter and $780,
600 by another. Other expenses would
add to the totals. That money would
not be invested in Illinois. 1t would
be taken out of the State and not one
person within the State would derive
any benefit from it.
I'VE do not think there is a pro-
moter. and this includes Richard, who
could put over a show of this magni-
tude and eliminate all chances of an
aftermath that would he highly dis.
astrous to the sport we have sworn
to protect and regulate"
Huncke said the commission had
been asked several times 10 sanction
ticket prices ranging from 50 to $50.
1T Is the commissions opinion that
$50 IL entirely too much to be invest
ed in fight ticket. We have good
shows with prices ranging from 81
to IS. from 81 to 81 and from 81 to
$40. We fail to see how any other pro-
meters can give the public. whT are
the ones to be considered, any better

Legal points, which count for

In certain respects Pittsburgh's po-
sition Is more advantageous for
hard grind than that of Cincinnati.
The Reds have set the pace most of
the year, and that always puts a
strain on a club. especially a club with
no pennant experience. II will be
recalled that last year the Senators
were content to run second TO the Ath-
letics until August, when Philadel-
phia's losing streak of II straight
games gave the Senators their chance
to rush TO the fore.
The Reds are unlikely to lose II
straight at any time during the next
two months. but | expect a similar
letdown on the part of the Cincinnati
team to give the Pirates their chance
TO romp out in front. In the 1925
world series Pittsburgh trailed all
through the series until the eighth
inning of the deciding game. And
that MAS the proper time to be ahead.
