FITZPATRICK TELLS
OF BOXING PLANS
FOR THE GARDEN
Sharkey and Perroni Only
Match on List Of 70
That Is Clinched

New York, sept lion August
22nd, submitted to the press a
list OF tentative matches that the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton was anxious to arrange for
the coming season. At this time, /
told the press that we would APP
proach the various managers and
endeavor to arrange as many Of
these matches as we could fit into
the available dates on our boxing
schedule. I further stated that I
would report from time to time the
progress that we were making and
that IL certain matches could not
BIO arranged, I would advise the
press of the reasons therefore.
Starting off with the first match
ed listed, the obviously outstanding
one from the standpoint of public
interest. 1. e., the heavyweight
championship:
Dempsey Comes First
Carnern VS. Baer--Carnera Ia UNI
der. contract with the Madison
Square Garden Corporation to de-
fond his title I have communicate
ed with the manager of Max Baer,
stating that we were anxious to
promote this bout. He replied very
courteously that he was obligated
to Jack Dempsey and that II Demp
soy were able to arrange this par.
ticular bout, he felt In duty bound,
to give Dempsey the opportunity. l
replied to his letter stating that !
understood thoroughly his relation
ship with Dempsey and that the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton also had only the friendllest
feelings toward Dempsey and wish
ed him the greatest success In his
career as q promoter. However, as
regards this specific match, felt
that due to the contractural rela-
tionship existing between Camera
and ourselves, did not see how
this match could possibly be held
under the auspices OF any other Or
ganization than ours. The matter
rests there for the time being,
Sharkey VS. Perroni - The man
ayers Of both Sharkey and Per-
ROM have been approached and !
am glad to advise that arrange
ments for this match are well I'M
der way. However, to give the New
York boxing fans who did not have
the opportunity Of seeing Porronl
In action against Gastanaga, we
have scheduled q bout for October
9th between Perroni and McCor-
kindale, who recently knocked out
Larry Gains In England. Tho WIN
nor of this bout will meet Sharkey
IN Madison Square Garden on the
31st Of october.
Sharkey VI Baer Sharkey Is
willing to meet Baer but obvious
ly we have not communicated with
Baer's manager regarding the
Sharkey match while we are nego-
tiating for u bout with Carnora.
Sharkey VS. Schmeling -- Shar-
key Is willing to meet Schmeling In
Madison Square Garden during the
month OF December or In Miami In
February. I have been In touch
with Schmelings manager and he
Is unwilling to have Schmeling
meet Sharkey under the auspices
Of Madison Square Garden.
Smelly
Sharkey VS. McCorkindale -
Should McCorkindale beat Per-
roni on October 9th, we have ar
ranged for him to meet Sharkey
on october 31st.
Impollotiero vs. Gastanaga I'M
pelletiero's manager was unwilling
to have him meet Gastanaga. The
latters manager was agreeable to
the match.
Impclletiove VS. Poreda The
same situation applies to this
match,
Schmellng VS. Pcrronl The
same difficulty with respect to this
match exists as TO that between
Sharl<ey and Schmelng.
sehmellng VS. Baer - We have
not approached Bacr's manager
with respect to, this match while
the Camera Baer negotiations are
under way.
. Perroni vs. Hamas Arrange
ments for this fight must await the
outcome of Porroni's match with
McCorkindale and possibly that
with Sharkey,
This covers tho heavyweight sit
uation. We have made substantial
progress In tho other classes and
Just rs soon as our information Is
moro definite. will issue an addi-
tional statement with regard there
