Illinois Commission Takes Up
 Matter in Session Today

Chicago. Aug. 1s R)AThe Illinois supreme court of fstiana, the state athletic commission, today took up the public's side in the forthcoming heavyweight champion ship battle, scanning the blueprints which show how Tex Rickard pro- poses to seat 100000 or more in tho great Soldier Field stadium septem- Der 2c.
 Whatever the commissioners say today. on the number of seats and the price the public will pay for them, will define the limits of Rick. ards new record in fight crowds and gate receipts. Nearly . million and a quarter dollars already has teen placed in ticket orders, with the demand increasing. Apparently Rickard will easily be able to sell all the tickets the commission will give him permission to print. Richards last minute revisions of the plan, before submitting 1t to Chairman John C. Righeimer, and Commissioners Paul Prehen and O. W. Huncke, were to increase the extent of the cheaper priced seating sections.
 Jack Dempsey arrives Thursday for his training at Lincoln Fields ] race course, in his desperate effort to shatter the ring tradition that heavyweight champions never come back.
 Billy Gibson. manager of cham pion Gene Tunney, is on his way lack to Speculator, N. r., today to urge the titleholder to come on west soon and establish himself at the Cedar Crest Country club, on Fox ! Lake.
 When the seating plan Is approv- cd, Richards last problem before the boxing commission will have been settled. and then will begin the job of allotting the tickets to the thousands who have sent in their checks and orders.
 George F. Getz, who IS the legal promoter for Rickard, has named a committee of five business men to pass upon the applications, but their names will not be announced, Getz said now or later.
 "Mr. Getz Is certainly handling this job in a wonderful way" Rick ard said. 'I guess he is as good a promoter as I am."
 Leo P. Flynn, the former cham pion's new manager, says his plan of battle for Dempsey Is already laid out and that it will be much different from the way the manager less Dempsey fought at Philadel- phia a year ago.
 "It would be suicide for Dempsey to fight Tunney as he did In Phila- delphia," said Flynn. Dempsey rushed Tunney every step of the way and Gene had figured out how to beat that style of a fighter May be Gene is figuring on the same kind of a fight here on the lake front, but whether he is or not he is not going to meet up with that kind of Dempsey"

JUSTICE AND

 DISPUTE NOW
District Attorney Resi- gns from Special Committee
 Justice Comments

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1S-A peppery exchange between United States District Attorney Peyton Gordon and Justice Siddons put new life today in the oil jury talhpering case which has been iu a dormant state.
 Gordon. one of the committee of three appointed to determine If there had been contempt of court, resigned from the commit. tee.
 Writing to Justice Siddons, he said he was convinced at the time the mistrial of the Fall-Sin- clair conspiracy case was ordered that there was reasonable cause to believe criminal contempt had been committed and he was ready to prosecute. Feeling his way, Gordon said, he did not believe he could serve on the committee as he already had presented the case to the Grand Jury.
 Justice Siddons. in accepting the resignation of Gordon. express ed regret that "a member of the Bar, of long standing, who be- lieyes contempt of court is of a grave character when committed. yet nevertheless seeks to be re- lieved when called upon by the court to see If contempt had been committed and to vindicate the courts authority"
