public opinion will determine whether
widespread objections might arise
over the use of Soldiers Field as
battle site.
That was the word Edward ].
Kelly, president of the South Park
Commission, which controls the sta
dunn, and other Ch;cagoans brought
back today from New York, where
they extended an invitation to Tex
Richard to bring the battle to Chicago.
President Kelly, although in favor
of the battle, wants first to sound out
public opinion before he agrees to
turn over Soldiers Field for u cham

would feel about using a public sta

Kelly said. There is bound TO be

always is in such cases, but it is \

outweigh those who don't.

know. I did not see him myself while

was reported in dispatches from De-
troit as saying that he would be the
promoter or would be associated with
Richard in staging the Dempsey
Tunney fight in Soldiers Field. This
would comply with the Illinois law
which requires boxing promoters to
be bona fide residents.
Getz, instead of returning to Chi
cago, left for Mackinac Island. He
plans to arrange a final conference
with Richard by telephone. Richard,
it is understood. will come to Chicago
for a conference with Kelly and Getz,
possibly within 10 days.

TONS PORTER IS
 TOURNEY WINNER
Captures Honors in Twilight
 Golf at Shuttle Meadow

It doesn't pay for a golfer to take day off while an important tour nament is on. This can we'll be ascribed to Ted Hart who, because of the call of the muskellonge was stronger than the grind of IS holes went out fishing during the past to cop the 72 hole twilight tourna- ment at the Shuttle Meadow club with a net score of 276.
 It may have been an accident and it may have been intentional be- cause Ted Hart was leading up to the last week but many of the mem- bers of the club are satisfied that Hart is playing to have big stakes offered for match with Tons to see which is really the best golfer. It Ted didn't go fishing. then some- thing went wrong because no card for the week was turned in.
 Porter's score was just good enough to top Erny Humphrey who came in with grand total for the 72 holes of PIT. The battle was a nip and tuck affair right through the four weeks of play up to the last eighteenth hole. Tons, however, arose to the occasion and failed to slip at the critical moment as many had expected.
 Earl Higbee, Russ Germond and c. H. Baldwin were well up in the running but the glory for the four weeks grind must go to Porter for his excellent shooting.
 Something went Wrong at the club Saturday or else the hot weather dulled the creative genius of the en- tries in the weekly tournament be- cause the members of the club elected to pass by the alibi tourna- ment and they played a sweepstakes instead. Minds were sluggish and it was feared that enough excuses couldn't be thought up and that's the real reason why the alibi con- test was passed by the boards.
 Frank Shields won with a net of 65. Earl Higbee was second with 6S and Louis Jones was third with Il. The rest of the field believes firmly that this trio can putt better on mar ble tables than on greens because they were in excellent shape on the hard greens Saturday while the others found their scores soaring.
 Their excellent marks has also
