THIRD GENE-JACK

Now Appears That Dempsey
viii Get Another Bout
in June or July.
By FAIR PLAY.

n YEw YORK. January l7.-Te'
Richard has been won over u
" Gene Tunney's demands . ss Tor o. t tWt
arguing for his side of the ques
ton. Richard does not like the idea Of
showing the champion more than once
a year. but as Tunney was insistent and
threatened to bolt the Richard banner
the promoter agreed TO do his best &c
furnish two good opponents for ths
heavyweight king.
Rlckard harbors the idea that JACK
Dempsey will return to the ring Tor
third meeting with Tunney. Tex now
thinks il would be best TO stage the
next Tunney-Dempsey fight in June OF
.Tuly and let his new elimination tourna-
ment pick an opponent for Tunney-or
for Dempsey if he wins against Tun-
ney--for September.
New York would like to have the
third Dempsey-Tunney fight and may
get it. But Los Angeles is being con-
sicered Dempsey is hero on the
coast and there is no doubt the bout
would draw big there.
Rickard has named Jack Sharkey,
Tom Heeney. Paolino Uzcudun, John
Risko and Jack Delaney to eliminate
one another in the new heavy tourna-
mcnt. It Is possible that Jack Dorval
may be included later. Dorval sur
prised the talent by making an unex-
pected good showing when he trounced
Benny Touchstone two months ago.
Richard scratched his head in dis
may as he watched the antics OF Shar-
key and Heeney last Friday night. The
pair loaded him down with sorrow.
There was one interested spectator TO
the contest who derived a lot OF JOY
from ii. He was Lou Fink. Tunney's
trainer. Lou was sizing up the pair
for his boss, who has been shooting
ducks In Georgia. Fink looks for an.
other profitable year OF employment
with the champion.

Promoter Jim Mullen remained uncon-
vinced today that he had been brushed

Summer in Chicago. and would not
sign for any other matches before Feb

To the average fan there is little

manager to breath sigh Of relief. He
realizes what shortstop of experience
means. After watching the amateurish
work OF a rookie. manager pictures
what reliable veteran could do.
Probably there is no big league pilot

tried out flock of short fielders since
Oison's decline and found them all

Bancroft takes his place with modern
shortstops. such as Wright, jackson,
Thevenow, Peckinpaugh and Scott.
Besides being a great natural infielder.

to the American League. there was a
threat on the base ball horizon of no
mean significance. The old American
Association was being formed
From the day that the National
League had been made a circuit of IL
clubs there had been a group of base
ball men who were annoyed and exer-
cised because the American Association
had been squashed. They contended
that one big league was not good for
the country because 1t extinguished
rivalry and retarded the development

In 1899 the American Association re-
vivalists began to get busy They at
tracted capital here and there to start
ball clubs But every time they held
a meeting one of their newly created
clubs developed cold feet and withdrew.
Thus there soon were more meetings
than ball clubs.
Both John j. McGraw and Cap"
Arson were involved in the American
Association. Arson was to have been
president of the circuit-which was no
position for him, although he did not
know it-and McGraw was to put a
club in Baltimore. McGraw was the
last to get out of the new organization.
and when Arson found that McGsaw
would not go on. the former Chicago
manager refused to call another meet
