Rickard Makes 'Startling’ Announcement for Benefit of Newspaper Men. CHAMP TAKES LICENSE Jimmy De Forest Gives Opinions on Fighters. BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—Tex Rickard, cauliflower impressario, made the “startling” announcement today that Gene Tunney and Jack Dempsey had agreed to interrupt the business of resting in precaration for their heavyweight championship fight and do some exhibition boxing for the “newspaper fellers.” “Tunney will work for you newspaper fellers this afternoon and Dempsey will work Thursday for you,” Rickard said. Other Comments He continued thereafter, to comment on other phases of the forthcoming pugilistic sh6w as if he were unaware of the sensational nature of the “revelation.” Rickard added that the champion had gone through/the formality of taking out a fighter’s license for himself from the Illinois Boxing Commission and that Lou Fink, Jimmy Bronson, Bill McCabe and Bill Gibson had applied for licenses as his corner men. One of the very veteran experts dashing around today was Jimmy De Forest. Old Jimmy grained Dempsey for his greatest fight against Jess Willard back in those ancient days of 1919 at Toledo when Dempsey won the championship. De Forest said Dempsey looked better to him than he had seen him in three years. “Eyes Are Clearer” “His eyes are clearer," De Forest said, “his punches are snappier and his foot work is as perfect as any man of his age could have.” De Forest also said he had observed that Dempsey was working more seriously than Tunney. • “Dempsey,” De Forest said, “has been working full three-minute rounds every time he went out to box and I had the watch on Tunney and he never worked more than two minutes to a round. Maybe he knows what he’s doing, but we old timers don’t.” Dempsey still is a prohibitive sentimental favorite around Chicago. Rickard is of the opinion he has more of a hold on the public than old John L. Sullivan ever had. But the betting is 7 to 5 that Tunney wins.
