Dempsey Gets 100000 of
$1,895,0O Gate at Fight

Philadelphia-Th scepter Of the
worlds heavyweight championship
kingdom that Jack Dempsey has held
since 1919 was welded by Gene Tun-
.ney, idol of the marines and of New
York's Greenwich village. Through
q steady downpour of rain that
drenched the greatest fight spectacle
of all times, Tunney fought his way
to the peak Of pugilistic heights. In
match that completely reversed gen.
eral expectations, stunning in its one
sidedness, Tunney pounded and fayed
the titleholder into senli-helplessness.
Promoter Tex Richard, after balanc-
ing his books, says that the gate re-
ceipts at the Dempsey-Tunney fight
totaled $1,S95, 733.4O. OF this amount
Rickard estimated Dempsey's share at
100000. He was fighting on guar
antee and percentage basis. Gene
Tunney's share was 100000. Richard
estimated his own profit at 100000.
The sesqui stadium officials get $780,
900. The state of Pennsylvania $780,
$50, and the federal government
$172,339.40. The total number who
saw the bout was 125,732.

new WORLD ARMS
FARLEY Is VOTED.
Resolution Is Unanimously Adopt
ed by Assembly at Geneva
Expected in IL Months.

Geneva, Switzerland-The League
of Nations unanimously adopted re-
solution that a general conference for
the reduction of ornaments shall be
convoked before next September un-
less material difficulties prevent.
M. Paul-Boncour for France, Wis
count Cecil for Great Britain and Herr
Won Schubert for Germany pledged
their countries to support the con-
ference with all earnestness. Lord
Cecil portrayed the world as anxious
iy awaiting results from Geneva, but
warned that it would be fatal to call
the conference before arrangements
were complete, because if it met and
failed, it would be the greatest dis
aster to the cause OF peace since the
founding of the league.
China, only recently elected MEM
Der of the league council, caused q
sensation by launching an accusation
against Great Britain of bombardment
and the killing of Chinese on the
Yangtze river. 1t is unusual, If not
unprecedented, for one member of
the league to make charges publicly
against another from the rostrum,
especially when both belong to the
council, and this incident is described
as showing that the assembly is be-
coming a real forum for airing inter-
national grievances.
