JACK’S OPPONENT NOT NAMEDYET Fight in Prospect Over Selection Os Tunney Or Wills For Battle By Edward ('. Derr. i>rp>«« staff Correspondent) Chicago. July 22 -(Unital Cress; Jack Dempsey Is going to defend hh Worlds Heavyweight champion ship In Chicago in September but before he does any actual fighting there is likely to be another fight A legal conflict in the courts to determine whether his opponent will be Gene Tunney, the white contender, or Harry wills, the negro giant. If Tex Richard and his associates win the courts. Dempsey's opponent will be Tunney: if the Chicago Coliseum club wins, it will be Wills that Dempsey must face. Rickard, as it appears now. has the upper hand and it is virtually certain he will be able to go through with his plans for a Demp.sey-Tunney match September 11 or September 18. The New York promoter ha) the decided advantage of having Dempsey on his side of the argument. Hut B. (’. Clements, president of the Coliseum club, insists he holds a herfeetly sound contract with Dempsey wherein the champion must meet Harry Wills in Chicago before risking his title with any other challenger. Clements asserts he will take his ease to the courts if necessary to stop Rickard’s plans for a Dempsey-Tun-ney fight. The argument centers around the contract Dempsey signed last year with Floyd Fitzimmons, the Indiana I remoter. Fitzsimmons backed out of his plans to stage a Dempsey-Wills match and transferred his contract to the Coliseum Club. That much is admitted. Hut Rickard. Dempsey, and even Fitzsimmons insist that this contract is void because the Coliseum club failed to post $ 100.000 *on March 25. last. o Four Women Remain In Race For Golf Title Indianapolis, Ind., July 22. —(United Press.) —Four women remained in the rai e for the Indiana women's golf championship today following a day of spirited competition and upsets.
