TEX RIGKARD DECIDES TO STAGE BIG BOUT WITHOUT ASSOCIATES (By Ansoelated Press) NEW YORK, Jan. 20. Withdrawal of two of the promoters of the $500,000 championship heavyweight boxing bout between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpentier will not deter the third promoter, Tex Rickard, from staging the contest, he said today. He indicated he would immediately procure other promoters to take the places of William A. Brady and Charles , B. Cochran and attempt to hold the fight in Canada. After a day of denials that the. proposed bout had been called off because of the alleged failure to post forfeits, Brady announced last night that so far as he was concerned he was through, because "the contracts hare not been mutually observed." He also said he was fully authorized to announce the formal withdrawal of Cochran, who is in England. " Rickard Surprised. ' Brady's statement threw a bombshell into the boxing world. Close followers of the sport here generally agreed that the breaking up of the trlumvirite of promoters presaged virtual
ibaridomuont of tho plan to ho'a me contest in the United States. Rickard was reported to be in favor of staging the fight in Montreal on July 2. Cochran's reported offer to hold the fight in London was given serious consideration by many enthusiasts. Rickard expressed surprise at the action of Brady and Cochran. He regarded their claim that the forfeits had not "been posted, in accordance
as a purely technical objection. - SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 20 Frank P. Spellman, former showman, who filed damage suits at Batavia, .N. Y., aggregating $200,000 against Jack Dempsey, heavyweight champion pugilist, was said todav in boxing circles
to have been active in Dempsey's behalf in San Francisco at the time that the fighter was facing charges of draft evasion some months ago. Spellman. representing the moving
picture company which at that time
picture, made the trip to Wells, Nev., it was said, and secured from the fighter's former wife, Maxine Dempsey, an affidavit to show that Dempsey had not avoided active service without cause. The affidavit was 6igned before Dempsey's indictment and was rot used at the trial in which Dempsey was acquitted.
