Prospect of Dempsey

championship fight early next sum-

Tex Rickard ready to slip away to

Gene Tunney.
Opponents for the heavyweight
champion are just little bit scarce,

Dempsey rumorS are floating
about swiftly just as they did be-
fore the former champions last

the list are;
Dempsey will meet Tunney in
June or July.
Dempsey will meet Sharkey,
Heeney or some other good heavy
weight to test himself out before
chance at Tunney.
Dempsey will never come back to
the ring because Of his eyes going
bad.
They all are rumoIs. Rickard
said he didn't know anything about
any of them. Dempsey in Califor-
MIA said he was not certain. TUn-
ney said he wanted two fights noxt

Delaney twisted the tangled situa-

have paid $4,000 for hinl-said he
would not fight until after Feb. /.
This came at time when bouts
we're being attempted for Delaney,
who is an excellent drawing caro-.
Others in the elimination contest
are Jack Sharkey, who may show an
improved form over his showing
against Tom -Heeney last week;
