 Tex Rickard is scheduled to come here tomorrow on other business and Buckley expects to discuss the matter with him at that time.
 "lackard believed that Dempsey can be prevailed upon to fight again, and l have the same feeling" Buck ley said. 'I'd like to see Sharkey in there again against Dempsey. with Sharkey feeling as he did when he went through the ropes to start the Delaney affair Monday night.
 That Investigation being made Of the Sharkey Delaney fight can have nothing to do with Sharkey. It's purely an investigation of Delaney. Why. Sharkey spent s1,2oO of good money in training at Orangebury, x. f., and he was a million times bet ter prepared, physically and men, tally for fight than since his bout with Maloney. That scandal talk will die natural death.
 Il feel very much as if the Demp- sey match would be q good one and Will create tremendous interest. Rickard was to have talked with Dempsey yesterday on the matter Of going back into the ring. For all they say that Dempsey is through, I'm satisfied that he means to fight again"

Wickersdorf. Thurinsia. Germany, May 5 R-Thc injury to the ankle or Dr. Otto Peltzer. Germany's great middle distance runner is not 50 serious as was first feared, it now develops. and the expectation is that he will be able soon to resume train- ing for the Olympic games.
 After spending comfortable night. the swelling was reduced to- day sufficiently for Pelitzer's phy- sician to make thorough examina- ton and determine that no damage to the bone had occurred. It was feared yesterday that the ankle had been splintered. but the injury is now diagnosed as no more than a severe sprain.
 Dr. Pelitzer hurt his foot in q miX-up playing handball. He will be out of competition for some time, but with three months remaining before the Olympic track and field sports are held at Amsterdam con- tidence is now restored that the worlds half mile record -holder will be able to get back into top form.
