DEMPSEY WILLING
TO FIGHT COWBOY
Feud May Be Staged In At
lanta July 1 To Aid Red
Cross Fund

ATLANTA, June 8-CR- Jack
Dempsey, biggest drawing card in
boxing history, today indicated his
willingness to re-enter the ring here
July 1 for a feud fight with a wrest-
Ter, Cowboy Luttrell.
The Atlanta Constitution says
that a ten round boxing bout has
been arranged between the former
heavyweight champ. o As, and
Luttrell, a former fighter. and that
Promoter Jim Downing is enroute
to New York with formal papers for
Dempsey to sign.
In New York Dempsey, when
asked about the proposed match,
said:
II may be an old man, but I'm
willing to meet Luttrell any time,
any place, for any number of ROUNDS
he DESIRES"
A crack on the jaw from the
Dempsey fist started the feud with
Luttrell, who halls from Dallas,
Tex, during a recent wrestling bout
here. AS referee, Dempsey ques-
toned tactics Luttrell was using en-
his opponent. Dorve Roche. The
cowboy brashly bucked the former
champion, and a brief hail of blows
ensued.
Dempsey's last fight was in 1882,
when he lost a four round decision
to King Levinsky at Chicago. He de-
cided then to end a comeback" at
tempt and hang up his gloves for
good. Since that time he has been
much in demand az a boxing and
wrestling referee.
Luttrell is a former boxer who
turned to wrestling and is widely
known throughout this section.
Thad Holt, Atlanta Constitution
sports writer who arranged for the
ten round bout with regulation
gloves, said part of the proceeds
would go to the Red Cross.
The match is scheduled, Holt said,
for the night of July l at the At
lanta baseball park.
Cowboy Luttrell will be recalled
by wrestling fans here who have
seen him in the ring at Legion field

point.
Boston outhit the Tigers nine to
five but the winners had four extra
base knocks, including two home
runs. The Red Seekers hits were
well scattered and Corsica held
them scoreless until the eighth, when
Detroit was enjoying a 40 lead.
Rudy York opened the scoring in
the second when he blasted a home
run over the left field screen. The
second tally crossed the plate a few
minutes later when Pinky Higgins
walked and came all the way home
on a double by Birdie Tebbetts.
These two hits, and a single by
Dick Bartell, were the only blows
the Tigers could obtain from the Of
ferings of Denny Galehouse, Boston
starting hurler, until he gave way
for a pinch hitter in the SoX half of
the seventh.
Relief Pitcher Jack Wilson gave
up Detroit's two remaining hits and
runs in the eighth. Charlie Geh-
ringer slammed a double into the
left field corner and came g%alloping
home ahead of Greenberg, when big
Hank belted his home run over the
left field screen.
For the Sox, Doc Cramer opened
the eighth with a single and Stan
Spence, just up from Louisville and
playing his first major legaue game,
worked Corsica for a pass. Jimmy
Foxx advanced the pair on a field

torv over Anacostia, Wilson retained
Il 'e chance for the post-series
s ut only II both Tech and
f., t lose one Of their remain-
ing games. The Presidents finished
their schedule with four defeats in
six games and are out Of considera-
ton II either Roosevelt or Tech
doesn't lose again.
For Anacostia, the loss was its
fifth straight in the series and must
have been bitter disappointment to
Coach Roland Lund, who figured his
team would have a fine chance in
the playoff round with pitcher like
Art Faircloth.
But Faircloth, a victim Of tough
luck this season, was the losing
pitcher yesterday. relieving Nunnally
in the eighth inning, but not in time
to stop Wilson's winning three-run
rally. Eddie Polhamus' first hit Of
the series drove in the winning two
runs.
Does Fine Relief Work.
Nino Briscuso was the winning
pitcher, relieving Kaufman in the
seventh and turning back Anacostia
hitless from then on.
