Promoters Find New Way to Keep Heavyweight Business Active

USING WILLARD AMD JOHNSON 1$ STARTING MOVE Aim of Boosters Is to Prepare Public for Dempsey Title Bout, By HENRY FARRELL. United Press Sports Editor. NEW YORK. Feb. B.—Ever sines Charlie Cook signal his heavyweight, Floyd Johnson, to meet Tommy Gibbons early in March, his friends have been telling him how wrong he was. He admitted it Wednesday night by wriggling out of the Gibbons match and getting Jess Willard for an opponent in a bout to be fought in the new Yankee stadium on May 12. It Is to be staged for the milk fund. To get Willard by the bars that the boxing commission has raised against him, it had to be for charity. Lucrative for Johnson Johnson was to get $15,000 for fighting Gibbons. Hij is to get ?25,000 for fighting Willard. Willard is to get the same sum. Between now and May, Johnson can get in three or four good bouts and more purses. Terms of the agreement signed by Johnson require him to meet Gibbons within thirty uays after he defeats Willard, if he does defeat him. If Johnson beats Willard, however, the big ballyhoo will start for a DempseyJohnson bout and Gibbons will get the go-by again. Gibbons demanded that Tex Rickard get some one else for him to fill the abandoned date on March 19. He asked for Jack McAullffe, the new Detroit sensation. Gene Tunny or Harry Greb. Rickard promised to get one of the three for him. Age Limit Suspended William Muldoon, chairman of the boxing commission, said that as the bout was to be fought for a worthy cause he would suspend the 33-year age limit rule In the case of Willard and allow him to fight Johnson. He said also that he had told Willard some time ago that he would not ob- , Ject If the former champion would ar- j range a “test bout” to show that ae was good enough to demand a return j bout with Dempsey. Rickard’s reasons for retiring suddenly from the bidding for the next appearance of Jack Dempsey and the cause of the strange mildness of Jack Kearns In accepting the slaps of ’’bad luck” are apparent in this latest move. An opponent for Dempsey will come out of it some way and "conditions wiil be better next summer.” Independent Basket-ball In * return rams at the Fernd&la Erin Wednesday the Mapletons defeated the Ferndais Trianfle*. 19 to 17. in an overtime contst.
