JACK NOT TO FIGHT
UNTIL NEXT SPRING
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 4.-Tex Rick.
ard and Jack Dempsey have emerged
from business huddle with the an.
nouncement that the former heavy.
weight champion will not do any
fighting for Richard this Winter.
Rickard said today that Dempsey is
too good an attraction to he wasted
on indoor bouts, where attendance is
restricted by limited seating capacity,
and that he had just about reconsid-
cred altogether his plan to send the
Manassa Mauler against a half dozen
or so aspirants in the heavyweight
division.
Supporting his objections to Demp-
sey hghting indoors, Rickard revealed
interesting figures regarding the earn
ing powers of the ex-champion and
Gene Tunney. Dating from the first
night with Tunney, Rickard said,
Dempsey was instrumental. if not the
exclusive magnet, in drawing exactly
$5.637 ,092. He drew Sl,S95,22S at
Philadelphia in 1926, $1,0S3, ,204 on
July Il in his fight at the Yankee
stadium with Jack Sharkey and ST.
6o8,660 in the Chicago battle last
month
Dempsey's income from these three
1ShtS amounted to $1.531 500, includ
ing his share from motion picture
rights.
Tunney's ring earnings for the year
amounted to 81 ,209 900. Richard said.
AS the challenger for the title year
ago Gene collected S204 900. including
motlon picture money. His reward
Tor the Chicago defense was 81 ,O00. 900
and he received $4,000 for his inter.
est in the motion pictures
Rickard said he planned to match
Dempsey for an outdoor bout NEXT
Spring. If successful in this contest.
Dempsey would fight later in the Sum.
mer for n chance to get another bout
with Tunney for the title. which
Junney is scheduled to defend next
September.

The coaching STAG is not altogether
