New York. Dec. IS (UP)-Tex
Richard indicated today that he

Boston or Paolino Uzcudun, basque
heavyweight, to meet Young Strib-
ling in a heavyweight bout planned
at Miami Beach, Fla. before he
leaves for the southern city Decem-
Der 266.
Although Richard favors Sharkey
for the bout. the promoter is prepar-
ed to select Paolino IL the Boston
sailor does not want the bout. Word
has reached Richard that the bout
does not appeal to Sharkey. Florida
men interested with Richard in pro-
noting the bout favor Paolino as an
opponent and the Basque may even
tually draw the assignment.
Jack Dempsey will meet Richard
at Miami Beach January i. The
former heavyweight champion will
referee the bout according to present
plans.
The winner Of the Miami Beach
match would be the logical man to
meet Dempsey if he decides to re-

floor for the count of nine.
As he struggled to his feet his face
was ashen white and his knees were
