I.—Violations of the law prohibiting boxinc bouts Iu tlxis province will not be countenanced. Deputy Attor-ney-General Laucot said toduy in discnssing proposals to hold the DempscyCsr pen tier championship bout in Montreal. Replying: to a suggestion that an order in council conld be passed giving special permission for bolding the matches, he said orders in council derogatory to the law are unconstitutional. By JACK VEIOCK. Inter national News Sports Editor. SEW YORK, Feb. I.—Jack Dempsey has agreed to defend his world's championship against Georges Carpentler on g percentage basis for Xex Rickard. Carpentler has been asked by cable to agree to a like proposition and Is expected to accept. Meanwhile Rickard is today sole proprietor of the big bout . nd according to present plans he will promote it by himself. After usherlnp January out with a series of conferences these announcements were made by the aggressive promoter, who has completed arrangements to take over the Interests of Messrs. Brady and Cochran. KEARNS’ ACTION HELPS MATTERS. Jack Kearns’ action in meeting Rickard half way In the matter of Dempsey's end of the purse means that the champion and his challenger stand a better chance of getting together than they ever have before Undoubtedly Rickard has agreed to guarantee Dempsey a certain sum with a privilege of a fat percentage. The same 6ort of an ofTer has been made to ’arpentier and the total guarantee is smaller by many thousands than the original p>urse of $500,000. Rickard, Kearns and all other interested parties will keep the Size of guarantees a secret for obvious reasons. For the present, at least, there will be no change ia plans called for under the original contract for staging the bout Rickard has until March 1 to name a site for staging the big bout at any time between May £9 and July 2 and lie confidently expects to select a site within thirty days. If the syndicate represented by Charles Graham of Montreal can secure official permission to stage the fight In Canada there is little doubt that Rickard will come to some agreement with the Uastern Canada Securities, Ltd. According to the outlcoh today, the Dempsey-Willard bout will be staged March 17 at Madison Square Garden, as planned originally. Kearns intimated today that under the new conditions faced by Promoter Rickard, he would be willing to take chances. Willard also will gamble with Rickard. As for Dempsey's chances of losing the title to the man he uncrowned at Toledo, Kearns is not worrying ‘‘Dempsey will train In the open for Willard.’ said Kearns. He will be the *? em P se J he was when he defeated Dillard, not the man who met Bill Brennan. The Brennan fight was a lesson to Dempsey.*’

BASKET GAMES HERESATURDAY Twelve Teams Set for Play in Local Amateur Meet at Y/ Wayne Emmehnann Is making elaborate arrangements for the start of the local Independent amateur basket-ball tourney, the first round of which will start next Saturday at the Y. M. C. A. The cream of local Independent amateur basket talent will compete in the tourney, as practically every team of any note around here is entered. Twelve clubs will play. The first round of games will start Saturday afternoon, the initial scrap to begin at 1:30 and the afternoon’s card calls for six games. The local tourney will be extended over a period of three days, each a week apart, six going out of the running the first Saturday, Feb. 5, four falling on the following Saturday and the final game deciding the championship of the local section on the Tuesday following. The twelve teams to compete for the title in this section are: Boys’ Club. Lauter Club, South Side Turners, South Side Actives, Den Zures, Junior Chamber of Commerce, “Y” Leaders, Y. M. 11. A., Fairbanks Morse, House of Crane, Pottawattainis and North Side Vets. The success of last year's tournament has buoyed local amateurs to the extent that they are a vastly more powerful class thau last year and the fact that It will be a larger affair than last year, assures a lively scramble for the bunting. It Is expected that the winner of this sectional will go far in the State meet. It Is a hard matter to select a favorite aijumg the local teams to win tils meet because of the fact taut they are all nearly on u par. The South Side Turners have shown to good advantage all season as has the Y. M. H. A. quintette, and it would not be surprising to see these two wage a merry buttle for the high honors.

The fact that Martinsville has been defeated only once on their own floor since Its erection several years ago has only served to put all the more determination In the hearts of the Tech warriors to bumble the ancient rivals of the Indianapolis schools Martinsville has played both Manual and Shortrtdge this year, administering a bad beating to Shortridge. and losing out to Manual by a two-point margin. Both of these games were played In this city, however, and Tech will be the first local five to Invade the Artesian City this season. Every member of the Tech quintette Is In excellent condition and prepared to put his all Into the fray. Coach Black has been giving his men some strenuous practice session* ln an endeavor to get their teamwork and basket shooting down to perfection. The regular lire up, consisting of Griggs and Adkins, forwards; Greenberg, center, and Nipper and Conley, guards, will start the contest. This U the combination that has won ten straight games.
