Fistic World Sharpens Ears as Dempsey-Kearns Court Battle Opens

Much Action Provided at Legion Show Osner Wins by Shade Over Pisano; Budd, Mitchell Shine. A lot of action was provided at the Legion mit show at the Armory, Tuesday night. Three of the five scraps developed into real slam-bang affairs and kept the interest at a high point. Frankie Osner, Miami (Fla.) lightweight, shaded Augie Pisano, Brooklyn, in good ten-round go. , Both boys put a lot into it and there were no dissatisfied customers when all was over. Marshall Leach of Gary knocked out Patsy Kline, Cincinnati, in the second stanza of the semi-windup affair. Danny Budd, Terre Haute, and Howard Mitchell, Cincinnati, staged the most thrilling scrap -of the evening, the honors going to Budd. By one of the strangest coincidences ever to happen in a local ring, Mitchell was saved by the bell in the fourth and fifth rounds. He was totally out and was revived each time to come back strong and finish the go. They were signed to meet in next week’s semi-windup. Chet Smallwood, “Sullivan windmill,” demonstrated he is a “comer” by stepping out and handing Kid Ritchie of Ft. Thomas, Ky., a lacing. Ritchie was on the floor twice. Bruce Britt, Terre Haute, beat Ray Van Hook, Terre Haute, in a tame fourround opened. Jimmy Klump, Newport, Ky., middleweight, will meet Billy Peterson, Detroit, in next week’s main event. Battling Nelson, ex-lightweight champion of the world, was introduced to the Armory crowd last night.

Former Manager Hostile as He Tries to Collect Big Sum. BITTER AT RICKARD Says He Has Been Given , ‘Double Cross.’ BY HENR* L. FARRELL United Press qUaff Correspondent NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 16.—After more than a year 61 sniping warfare involving large money and big reputations, the late firm of Dempsey & Kearns arrived today in Federal court to battle for a jury’s decision. The closing act of a partnership that started when Dempsey emerged from the rods under a freight car and continued until he had become a millionaire heavyweight champion of the world involves the hearing of the .suit of Jack Kearns, his former manager, to collect $333,3333.33 as his share of the money paid to Dempsey by Tex Rickard for fighting Luis Firpo in New York and Gene Tunney in Philadelphia. Basis of Suit The Kearns suit is based upon a contract in which Dempsey is said to have agreed to pay his manager one-third of his ring earnings for a period expiring the last of 1926. During this period Dempsey earned more than a million dollars, Kearns asserts, and he is alleged to have refused to live up tq his contract. There were rumors heard early today that the suit would be settled out of court to prevent the threatened exposition of a ‘lot of dirt” about the inside workings of the boxing business, but the reports were denied, counsel for both parties insisting that they would try the case. “If there’s any dirt thrown in this trial they’ll have to start it,” Kearns said. “Rickard and Dempsey have been pushing me around, but I don’t have to dig dirt to win this suit. That dough is coming to me and I want it, “Breakfast Together” “If they want ( some dirt I’ll give it to them. They’ve been saying they could put me in jail, but if they can we’ll have breakfast together every morning. Dempsey’s side has been told plenty, but I haven’t said much because I have the case and I wanted to get it into court. “If I had wanted to throw dirt, I would not have waited this long. I’ve got as much on them as they have on me. But I didn't want to blow the whistle and look like a copper and I don’t want to do it now unless they start on me.” Hostile at Rickard “I have been the goat for a lot of things, but I’m not as burnt up at Dempsey as I am at Rickard. He double-crossed me. I put him where he is and he tried to give me the air. He promised me he wouldn’t pay Dampsey before the Firpo bout or first Tunney fight until I had a chance to slap a paper*on the money, but he paid him a couple of days before the fights and they got away with the money. I know that Rickard has more than a promoter’s interest in Dempsey.” “All I had to do with it was to pay them and it wasn’t any of my affairs how they split up the money or what they did with it,” Tex Rickard said today. Dampsey, taking the attitude that he was paying fancy money to his lawyers, said the suit was in their hands. y “I think we’ve got a case,” Dempsey stated, “and I’m willing to let the jury decide. If I have to pay I have the dough.”

Gene Serious in Tiff With Tex Rickard Champ Seeks Legal Advice About Contract; Explains Certain Grievances. Bn United Press _ , NEW YORK Nov. 16.—Developments in a rift between Tex Rickard and Gene Tunney today centered on Tunney intimating he may announce he is through with Rickard while Rickard replies that “if anyone thinks Tunney is not going to fight for me, I’ll bet him $200,000 Tunney is.” Tunney informed the United Press that he has legal advice which says that a clause in his contract with Rickard makes it possible for him to break the contract. Also he said that he had received an offer for a bout next summer under which he would receive SIOO,OOO more than Rickard’s contract promises. Tunney followed with an enumeration of grievances against the promoter, among them being a declaration that “Rickard never has done anything for me,” and “Rickard doctored the pictures of the Chicago bout and also the Dempsey-Sharkey bout to make Dempsey appear to a better advantage. “My contract with Rickard has given him an option on my first match after the Chicago show of last September, but there is nothing that I see that prevents me from notifying Rickard I want to box for him in June.”
