HEAD BERGER CASE FOR HIGH COURT
Attorneys Fighting to Save
 Gangster From Hanging

Benton, H., July 26 P-Prepar- ing for the eventuality that their motion for new trial might be de- nied, attorneys for Charley Birger, condemned Illinois gangster. search ed the trial record today for grounds on which to appeal to the Illinois supreme court, in an effort to save Birger from the moose.
 Arguments on a motion for a new trial were set for Thursday by Cir cult Judge Charles H. Miller.
 Meanwhile a printed statement that Birger had confessed to his at torneys as to his guilt in the murder of Mayor Joe Adams of West City, was denied by two lawyers to whom it was credited before they had de- termined to take the gangster's plight into the states highest court.
 Charles Karch, members of the de- fense staff, continued today to deny that he had told two reporters that Birger was not placed on the witness stand for ethical reasons" after they had become convinced of his complicity in the Adams staying.
 He said he could not recall telling that they could pub fish the story of Birger's reputed confession after the verdict was

THREE CITIES BID FOR TITLE FIGHT
Each Hopes to Be Selected for
 Site of Championship Bout

New York, July 2e (UP)-Three cities today were wing for Tex , Richards favor, each in the hope that it might be selected as the site for the heavyweight championship fight in September between Gene
 Tunney and Jack Dempsey. New York, having been the scene
 of the several elimination bouts
 leading to choice of Dempsey as the challenger. considered itself the rightful claimant. Philadelphia, the
 city in which Dempsey lost the title to Tunney. spoke for the return fight as a matter of principle. Chi cago. able to offer the largest sta
 dium and the least restriction on prices, beckoned the promoter to-
 ward the midwest.
 It was believed by most fans that Chicago would win out. The new stadium at Soldiers Field seats 10000 and 10000 additional
 ringside seats could be erected. H. linois officials probably would ap-
 prove top price of $40 or $50 for seats.
 Seating capacity is a prime con- sideration," Rickard said in an-
 nouncing that he would go to Chi
 cago this week to talk things over with a committee of business men there. Tt probably will be the big gest boxing show ever held any where."
 Nevertheless a committee from Philadelphia was expected here to-
 day to consult with Rickard and 1t was thought the New York state boxing commission might take hand at It's regular meeting and ask
 the promoter directly if he intends to take the bout out of this city. The boxing commission will have
 several other details to harass 1t. Jack Delaney, light heavyweight resign his title so he can be match
 ed with Pauline Uzcudun at the Yankee Stadium on August II. De-
 laney was to have met Mike Me- Tiguc on that date.
 The champion claims that he is
 over the 175-pound limit for light
 heavyweiehts and that to lose
 poundage would leave him weaken ed.
 If Delaney is granted permission to enter the heavyweight ranks, Mc- Tigue will claim the title but Paul Berlenbach, Tommy Loughran and others will be on hand to dispute 1t.
 Walk Miller, manager of Tiger Flowers, also has grudge for the commission to examine. He vii ask about a contract for return match between Flowers and Mickey Walk CT who won the middleweight cham pionship from the Negro last year in Chicago.

 Leonard J. Fisher of Bristol, $500 damages. and permitting Max Ken |nedy and H. Rubin of this city to take possession of a farm in Bur- |lington. Judge Wheeler called at- |tention to the evidence that the con- tract was cancelled by agreement among the parties soon after it was made and therefore Fisher who had contracted to buy the farm was not entitled to possession granted through the superior court judg- ment, nor Kennedy and Rubin to
