ATTEMPTS 10 STOP
 B|G FIGHT FAILS
Hopes to Have Champions Meet
 in Court Fall

Chicago, Sept. oN G'P) Two at- tempts 10 prevent the Dempsey Tunney fight Thursday night failed today.
 Hopes that Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunncy would face each other in federal court proved fruitless when they ignored subpocnas re guiring them to appear 10 answer an injunction petition presented by the Rev. Elmer Williams.
 Williams contcnded the bout would be a prize fight instead ot a boxing bout" that it would de grade Soldiers Field; and that Dempsey was a brutal mauler" with an "unsavocy reputation as a slacker"; Tunney-"Once an honor able member of the marine service "a professional prize fighter" and Tex Rickard, promoter, a gambler in the Far West, in Alaska and in South America
 Federal Judge George A. Carpen- ter held the federal court had no jurisdiction as it was mot the guardian of the morals of the state of Illinois" He also said that if he were Rickard and anybody made such charges against him as Will Hams did in his petition, T would enforce my own law whether it be in street or alley"
 The judge said he read the sport ing pages, and he intimatcd he had his doubts on whether the engage ment would be prize fight. He said so far as he had heard, Dcmp- sey was prizefighter when the two fought before at Philadelphia, but Tunney was distinctly a boxer
 Meanwhile. in circuit court, an agreement was reached whereby the suit of the Coliseum club against Dempsey will not be heard until after the fight. Dempsey will post a sl0O,0Oo bond with the court un- uer the agreement. The club con, tends it holds d contract binding Dempsey to meet Harry Wills be- fore fighting any other person.

1.-THE Army, Navy, Marine Corps and
officers of the Reserve Corps and Off
GERS of the National Guard of the sew
eral States and Territories and Dis
trict of Columbia and to other officers
of the United States and the several
States whose official duty is to serve
warrants of arrests and to employees
of the postal service and watchmen
engaged in guarding the property OF
the United States and the several
States.
1t is set forth in the law that who
ever shall knowingly deposit or cause
to be deposited for mailing or deliver
ing or shall knowingly cause to be de-
livered by mail according to the direc'
ton thereon or to any place TO which
it is directed to be delivered to the
