Dempsey. worlds heavyweight
champion, expected to sign a con-
tract today with Tex Rickard for
a "couple Of hundred thousand
and apply to the New York boxing
commission for license to fight in
New York.
""When that's done I'll write out
couple of checks for the wife and
go to a show" Dempsey said. He
also expects to do a little running in
Central Park and some boxing in a
gymnasium.
Dempsey explained that he has
had an understanding with Tex
Richard, but that the New York
promoter didn't have anything else
more binding than an option on his
services.
That was way to get around the
contract Dempsey had with Jack
Kearns, his former manager. The
Kearns contract. which had to be
signed and filed with the boxing com.
mission before Dempsey could get
a license to tight Luis Firpo, expired
on Aug. 8, but IL Dempsey had
signed a contract with Richard be-
fore the expiration Of the contract
with Kearns. the former manager
could have demanded his cut.
Regardless of the result of the fight
against Gene Tunney. the champion
does not intend to retire. Although
he doesn't boast about it. he expects
to win from Tunney and then will be
willing to fight anyone the pro-
moters get for him..
He. insists that he has no fear of
. Harry Wills.
Dempsey intends to remain here
until Sunday, when he will assume
charge of his training camp at White
Sulphur Springs.
