THE INDIAN APOJJJS TIMES

Chicago Has Best Chance for Title Go Jack and Gene Almost Certain to Battle There Sept. 15. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 29.—Chicagoans interested in annexing the TunneyDempsey heavyweight championship fight were "ready to print the tickets” today, naming Sept. 15 as the date of the bout and Soldiers’ Field as the place. Their assurance was based on statements of Promoter Tex Rickard that Chicago “wants the fight and I vjant to put it here.” 4 Definite and official announcement of the place and date of the championship match was lacking today, however, and probably will be until the South Park board which controls the giant stadium formally gives its consent to leasing thd amphitheater to Rickard. The board is to meet Tuesday. Rickard estimated the gate receipts to be obtained from the soldiers’ stadium at $2,000,000. Os this amount, he said, Tunney will j get $700,000 and Dempsey $400,000. The attitude of the State boxing commission and the park board 1

Welsh Earned $300,000 in Ring; Dies 'Broke.’

Bu United Press NEW YORK, July 29.—Freddie Welsh, who amassed close to $300,000 in the ring career which brought him to the lightweight championship for a three-year period, died in straitened circumstances, his widow said today. Mrs. Welsh, the former Brahna Weinstein, is a housekeeper at a hotel near that in which the former boxer succumbed to heart disease Thursday. She had been separated from her husband and their two children are at a farm in Verbank, N. Y. Welsh was 41. Welsh has been looking for employment ever since his health camp at Summit, N. J., purchased from his fistic profits, became heavily mortgaged and fell into the hands of New Jersey business men, his wife said.

must be favorable before the bout can be staged in Chicago. Under the Illinois law, only citizens of this State can promote fights. It has been planned to let George Gets, Chicago booster, apply for the promotion license, "assisted by Rickard.” This will satisfy legal requirements, provided the boxing commission approves. The attitude of the park board, also, is by no means certain. Members have been besieged with requests to deny Dempsey the privi-; lege of fighting in the stadium because of his war record.

Major League . Comment

I B’j United Press ~ Inability of the Pirates and the Cubs to defeat their opposition narrowed the margin of the three NaI tional League leaders to two and one-half games, before today’s contests, with the Giants trailing four games behind the third place Cardinals. Brooklyn downed the Pirates, 7 to 5. Bill Doak held Pittsburgh to two runs, but he was forced to retire in the first of the eighth when he was affected by heat. Petty pilched to four of the Buccaneers in the eighth without retiring any of them and he was relieved by Clark. The leaders were held to two runs In the eighth and one in the ninth, however, which gave the Robins the game comfortably. Carmen Hill was driven from the Pirate mound. Rogers Hornsby’s seventeenth home run helped the Giants to beat the Cubs, 6 to 5. Hornsby also hit a triple and a single in five times at bat. A six-run rally in the eighth enabled the Cardinals to dispose of Philadelphia, 10 to 8. The Phillies’ showing was aided by Cy Williams’ twenty-first and twenty-second home runs. The Red Sox made it three of four in the present series with Cleveland by taking both games of a double-header, 3 to 0 and 4 to 3.
