Only three dissenting voices were
heard among the so Chicago aldermen
when the vote came on a resolution
commencing the mayor and his COM
mittee on their efforts to land the
fight for Chicago's lakeside stadium.
Last Summer Richard studied the
problem of holding heavyweight
championship battle in Chicago, be-
fore the Dempsey-Tunney battle was
awarded TO Philadelphia, but official
support then was lacking and Demp-

holding an alleged contract for his

Gene Tunney.
Promoters Path SmOOthed.
This time the promoters path has
been made smoth by the mayor, the
council, the Boxing Commission, civic
leaders and the board controlling the
stadium.
Certainly I want the fight to come
to Chicago" Mayor Thompson said.
I'm always interested i'll bringing
money to Chicago. l asked Rickard
to be sure he dealt only with Mr.. Getz
or some other Chicago official"
Getz, now attending the governors
conference at Mackinac Island, sent
word that he would be here Thursday
to meet Richard and repeated his
offer to become the technical promoter
of the match.
The Boxing Commission, fortnight
ago, volunteered an invitation to
Richard to bring the contest here. with
the intimation that the top price Of
ringside seats, the technicality of an
Illinois promoter, and other problems
could be arranged to Richards salts
faction.
The stadium. which the South Park
board has rendered for the champion
ship battle, is capable Of being ar

SHARKEY LACKS COURAGE,
In OPINION OF DEMPSEY

Dempsey features twisted into a wry
smile as he boosted that he would
meet Gene Tunney in September as
confidently as he faced Sharkey less
than a week ago.
"There is very little difference in the
punching power of Tunney and Shar-
key" Dempsey said.
'Tunney is the smarter fighter of
the two, and is Sharkey's superior in
courage, but am absolutely confident
that I can beat him, and am not wor-
rying about the result"
Dempsey will start training for his
bout with Gene Tunney within the
next three days, he said. His present
schedule calls for the opening Of light
training two days after arriving in
| Los Angeles. He will start intensive
training within two weeks, and will
not break camp until shortly before
