Chicago Gets Fight If It Clears Path Tex Advises Windy City Boosters to Remove Certain Obstacles. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Corresoondent CHICAGO, July 28.— I The Demp-sey-Tunney heavyweight championship fight will be held In Chicago this fall “if Chicago wants it,” Tex Rickard told the United Press today when he arrived here to discuss arrangements for the bout. Rickard added, however, that “there are too many things to be talked over” to make any definite announcement. “There probably will be nothing definitely settled today,” the New York promoter said. Confers With Getz He was met at the train by George Getz, representative of Mayor William Hale Thompson’s fight committee, and the two left for Rickard’s hotel for a conference. Rickard’s statement was taken to mean he will hold the fight here if various obstacles placed in the way of holding the match in the mammoth Soldiers’ Field stadium can be overcome.

Could Scat 150,000 Chicago possesses the ideal site for a championship bout —Soldier’s Field —a colossal horse-shoe, which seated more than 110,000 spectators at the Army-Navy football game last autumn. With the athletic field filled with seats, Rickard could accommodate 150,000 persons there. Rickard declared the Polo Grounds in New York is too small to accommodate the crowd he expects to see at the second Tunney-Detnp-sey match. ' Meantime, objectors to holding the bout were increased and new hurdles were placed in the way of those who wish to bring the scrap to Chicago. Hog Island Recalled John K. Kennedy has filed a petition for an injunction to prevent the bout. He declared the board of South Park commissioners, which controls Soldiers’ field, has no right to “desecrate” the memory of the World War dead by allowing Demsey, characterized as “a slacker who hid in the Hog Island shipyards” during the war—to fight and enrich himself there. His petition also questioned the right of the commissioners to allow the use of the field “for private gain” and declared a license issued to any one other than Rickard “would be a subterfuge.” Under Illinois’ boxing law only persons who have lived in the State for a twoyear period are permitted to promote boxing bouts. It is likely that a permit, if issued for the fight, will be in Georgo Getz’s name, although Rickard will manage the details.

Lenglen Feels Better as Pro By United Press PARIS, July 28.—Mile. Lenglen, famous for her marvelous tennis playing and erratic temperament, has declared professionalism is better suited to her moody nature than the amateur status. “I never have been so happy in all my life,” explained the French star in an interview. “I do what I like. I just sign a contract, carry it out and lam finished. I have only to agree with a few people while as an amateur I was expected always to play whether I was sick* or not. I was besieged by people on all sides, and I had to please everybody. I just haven’t the mood for that.” On being asked what she thought was the best age for women tennis players, Suzzane replied: “Any woman should play a good game up to thirty, but after that she begins to lose her skill. I ceitainly expect to retire when I am 30, so you see I have only three more years to play.” NEGRO NET MATCHES Annual Tourney to begin Monday at Douglas Park.
