SCRIBES TO SEE ! FIGHTERS WORK Tunney And Dempsey To Work Out In Presence Os Sport Writers Chicago. Sept. 15 —(UP)—Tex Rickard, cauliflower impresario, made the startiling announcement today that Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey had agreed to interrupt the business of resting in preparation for their heavyweight championship fight and do some exhibition boxing for the “newspaper fellers,” “Tunney will work for you newspaper fellers this afternoon and Dempsey will work, tomorrow for you. 1 The busses will be here early and it 1 you are not ready the busses will go any way," Rickard said this morning. He continued, thereafter, to comment. on other phases of the forthcoming pugilistic show as if he were ( unaware of the sensational nature of ( the revelation. ( Rickard, reading over a slip pre- ( sented to him frbm his secretary. ] said that the gate would run to three , millions or better but when he was ‘ asked about the lack of a big business rush in his ticket office where some of the cheaper seats are being sold he said: “Just you fellers wait. Tn five or six days we'll have to have cops out keeping the people away from those windows.” Rickard was visited by a delegation of newspapermen last night, including a number of veterans from Goldfield. Nev., Shelby, Mont., and other distant points and they told him that his two fighters were doing so little that there was nothing to write about. “Listen.” Rickard said. “That Dempsey can't do much more work. He can't stand heat like this. I'm almost suffocating in this hotel room ami I don’t have to do any training. Dempsey had that Sharkey fight under his belt and he don t need any more work." Rickard added that he didn't know

so gnuch about Tunney but that the champion had gone through the formality of taking out a fighter’s license for himself from the Illinois Boxing Commission and that Lou Fink. Jimmy Bronson. Bill McCabe and Bill Gibsen had applied for licenses as his corner men. Dempsey went to the race track yesterday and he has not applied for his license but it is quite certain that he will be allowed to figh| and that in his corner will be Prof. Leo Flynn. Jerry the Greek, Billy Duffy, a prominent night club operator in New York, and—perhaps, one of the surviving O'Donnell boys of C’;;-... cago. One of the very veteran experts who were dashing around this morning was Jimmy DeForest. Old Jimmy trained Dempsey for his greatest t'ght against Jess Willard back in those ancient days of 1919 at Toledo when Dempsey won the championship. De Forest said that Dempsey looked better to him than he had seen him in three years. "His eyes are clearer,’’ De Forest said. "His punches are snappier and his foot‘work is as perfect as any man of his age could have.” De Forest also said he had observed that Dempsey was working much more seriously than Tunney.
