Jan. 7. — Although Te Rickard plans an elimination tourna men! l. settle upon the opponent whr I will seek Gene Tunney’. heavyweigh .championship title in September, thi promoter is convinced that the "log leal contender" is Jack Dempsey. I Rickard left New York so: St. Louis, where he signed Tunney yesterday to a contract for a year and a day after July 1. 1927. wit the stake approaching $1,000,000, hi 1 intimated to friends here that Demp sey had increased his popularity in defeat and that another Dempsey I Tunney match would break all at tendance rand receipts records. In his tentative plans for the elimination tournament, the Texan has placed Dempsey in the honor seat 1 naming him as one of the semi-final * ists. The boxers who will strive so • the other semi-final position are Jack ’ Delaney. Jim Maloney, Jack Sharkey ’ and Paul Berlenbach. 1 Here is the list of prospective ’ heavyweight battles: c I.—Berlenbach vs. Paolino. ’ 2. —Maloney vs. Sharkey. ' 3. —Winners of first two bouts. • 4.—Delaney vs. winner of third. s—Dempsey vs. winner of fourth. Tunney vs. winner of fifth. 1 Under a clause in the St. Louit agreement, Rickard must name Tur. ney's opponent by June 15. Vnles a delay is granted it may lie difficul for the promoter to run off five t-lrair. ' ination bonis before that date. it is considered probable that th< semi-final engagement will be sough on or aboii) July 5. leaving Sop.tembe as ti-.a month for the championshi fight. The fight will be held at th Yankee ’ idium, with a SSO top prim In signing with Tunney and plai ning the preliminary bouts Rickat has undertaken the greatest gambit in his career of fistic speculation.
