Had to Pacify Gibson.

In January had gone to st. Louis,
taking the New York boxing writer's
with me, to sign Tunney to a new con-
tract. The chief difficulty was that
Billy Gibson's contract with the cham
pion had expired and had to get the
men together on a new basis before
proceeding further. With this matter
Strengthened out, Tunney willingly
signed a contract, drawn by Dudley
Field Malone and Ellwood w. Kemp, jr.,
which provided that he was to meet
any man of my selection any time be-
tween July and January and that was
to furnish an opponent, hold and pro-
mote the bout.
Tunney received a guarantee of $685.
600 with the option of taking a fixed
percentage of the receipts. He later
had reason to be satisfied with that
contract. 1t Melted him 1891 900, exclu-
siye Of his share of the pictures.
Now my job was to get an opponent
for Tunney. Word came from the Coast
in April that Dempsey had started light
training, but meanwhile Jack Sharkey
had been coming along fast He stop
ped Wills and Maloney and no less a
judge Of boxing than William Muldoon
said the Boston boxer had the marks
of champion.
BY now Dempsey had convinced him.
self that he wanted another shot at
Tunney. but it became evident that he
would have to get by Sharkey first.
Dempsey came East in June, signed to
meet Sharkey and engaged Leo p.
Flynn as trainer The bout was
fought at the Yankee Stadium July 81
and crossed 81 1873, 529.7O. In a savage
battle Dempsey won by knockout in
the seventh round and I again had the
greatest drawing card of them all to
send against Tunney.
Pat Joyce, George Getz, Mike Igoe
and other well informed Chicago men
told me that their city was ready for
the bout and offered me every assist
ance in taking it there. This fitted In
with my plans for several reasons. I
had just held big fight in New York
and you can't run two big boxing shows
in one city only few weeks apart. The
Middlewest was brand-new field. The
stadium on the lake front was capable
of seating 10000 spectators and was
much better suited for my purpose than
any base ball park.

TINE Dempsey -Tunney bout in Phil
adelphia drew the largest crowd,
but the second Tunney-Dempsey
L fight drew the biggest money.
1t was in Chicago that I came
closest to realizing my ambition of a
100000 gate. The gross receipts
were $2,658,253.72 and the Federal ad-
missions tax came to $241 ,659.43

selling my high-priced seats. 1t was
the others which went slowly. Thou
sands of persons came to the city the
day of the bout, but they didn't buy
tickets. And others stayed at home and
organized radio parties. The boxing
habit was not as we'll formed as in the
East Nor did it help any when some
newspaper hun1orists described the seats
in the north end of the stadium as
situated on the Wisconsin line. Still,
more than 100000 fans paid to get in.
When failed to hold the first Tun-
ney-Dempsey bout in Chicago I had
assured my friends In that city that
would some day hold a heavyweight
championship fight there. Circum-
stances made it the second Tunney-
Dempsey fight. One of the chief cir
cumstances was Jack Sharkey.
After the Philadelphia bout Demp-
sey had returned to the West. He real
lied he had made poor showing in
Philadelphia and his pride was hurt at
the loss of title he held beyond price.
Whether he would fight again was a
question. ! hoped and believed he
would and I knew that If he did it
would be for me. But Dempsey makes
up his own mind.
