a rousing reception that in spots re-
sembled the enthusiasm displayed upon
the signing of the armistice, Jack
Dempsey was indulging in another
layoff at his Lincoln fields camp to-
day.
Dempsey did not choose to do any
boxing nor any other work except the
usual hike over the roads In the
afternoon he went over to the Olympic
fields golf course with Leo P. Flynn,
his manager, and some friends to get
in 18 holes. Dempsey played the worst
golf of anybody in the crowd.
The arrival of Tunney did not seem
to bother Dempsey, although he was
delighted with the kind of reception
the champion received.
II have not seen Tunney since the
night he shook hands with me when
was going into the ring to fight
Sharkey,' Dempsey said. "He was very
pleasant on that occasion. Things
will not be as pleasant when we meet
the next time. 1 am glad Gene is
here because it will give the public an
opportunity to see him and to judge
what kind OF a fighter he is"
Before adjourning to the golf links,
Dempsey entertained Governor Len
Small of Illinois at his camp and
Will Rogers, the humorist.
Operations at the camp will be re-
sumed tomorrow with boxing.
Jack is coming along Splendidly,"
said Manager Flynn. "I think it is
well to ease up on the grind and take
days off occasionally so that he won't
overWork and leave all his fight out
here in the training quarters"
Neither Dempsey nor Tex Rickard
were disturbed over the petition filed
in circuit court today for an injunc-
ton to prevent the battle. B. E.
Clements, president of the Coliseum
Athletic club, filed the petition, nam
ing Rickard, Floyd Fitzsimmons, the
former Benton Harbor, Mich, pro-
moter, George F. Getz, associated with
Rickard, the South Park commission
and the Illinois state athletic COM
mission as defendants.
The bill was based on Clements
claim to a contract with Dempsey from
FitzSimmons. The contract stipulated
that Dempsey was to fight no one un-
til he had fought Harry Wills under
the auspices of the Coliseum Athletic
club. The hearing on the petition
will be held next Tuesday.
Several employees of the main box
where tickets for the battle of Sep
tember % are sold were discharged by
Rickard, it was learned today. The
discharged ticket sellers were said to
have been eXacting bonus of from $5
to $40 for choice ringside seats. Al.
