Dempsey-Tunney Scrap in Windy City May Establish Record. 10 ROUNDS TO DECISION Soldiers’ Field to Be Scene of Feature Battle.. BY CLARK B. KELSEY United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—On the night of Sept. 15 or 22 Jack Dempsey, who lost his heavyweight boxing championship to Gene Tunney in Philadelphia a year ago, is to get his chance to disprove the old adage “they can’t come back.” The south park board, controlling Chicago’s colossal Soldiers’ Field, has agreed to allow Tex Rickard, .acting through George F. Getz, millionaire Chicago coal magnate, to put on the big fight there. Today Getz’s application for a license was to be acted on by the Illinois boxing commission, which has tacitly agreed to grant Getz permission to stage the bout. The park board agreed to allow the bout on Sept. 15. Monday night, however, Dempsey wired Rickard asking him to move the bout back a week on account of his wife’s illness. Rickard said he believed he could agree to the postponement. Rickard was to leave for New York today, to wind up his business arrangements there, before returning to Chicago for a month’s work in preparing for the Dempsey-Tun-ney scrap. Getz anticipates a $2,000,000 gate, he told the United Press. Upon this basis he is prepared to deposit $200,000 with the Illinois boxing commission as security for the State of Illinois’ 10 per cent tax on the gate receipts. Rickard agreed to SIOO,000 for one night’s rental on the stadium. Work of arranging the seating for the bout was under way today. Park authorities estimated that 172,000 persons could be crowded into the giant horse shoe. Rickard was less optimistic, however. He asked that the aisles be widened and that the spectators be given plenty of room. He believes that about 155,000 persons will fill the stadium. It was necessary for an Illinois resident to act as promoter of the bout. Rickard in reality is the matchmaker, but if both fighters sign with Getz without a murmur, the letter of the law will have been carried out. Under the Illinois law, the bout will go ten rounds to a decision by the referee and two judges. Under this law all these officials must be Illinois residents. All officials are named by the State boxing commission just before the bout is put on. National Roque Tourney Starts Bii United Press WARSAW, Ind., Aug. 2.—Roque players from all parts of the United States are gathered here for play for the National roque championship, more or less a marathon event, which is to continue for two weeks.

Aug. 2, 1907 Today Johnson was to start his twenty-first year on the mound for Washington against the same te&m, Detroit, that he first faced on Aug. 2, 1907. Officialdom and fandom were to gather at the ball park as early as 12:30, when a band concert was to open “Johnson Testimonial Day” exercises. “I knew him whens,” who saw him pitch his first ball in 1907, were planning to greet the “old master” in person.
