WINNER TACKLES DEMPSEY
Next Championship Batilc to Be
Fought Labor Day, According
to Tex Rickard
NEW YORK, May 16.—The pre
liminary move toward another con
test for the world’s heavyweight
championship was made late Tues
day by Tex Rickard, promoter, in
the signing of Jess Willard, former
title holder, and Louis Firpo, Ar
gentine giant, for a conte... to be
held in New York or vicinity not
later than July 7.
The winner will be matehc I with
Jack’ Dempsey in a title contest,
which probably will be held next
Labor Day.
Rickard declined to reveal the
terms for the Firpo-Willard match
except that they will fight on a per
centage basis. Experts, however,
figure that the bout will draw a gate
of at least a half million dollars and
that the share of each principal
would be at least SIOO,OOO.
The contest will be staged either
at Doyle’s thirtyl acres in, Jersey
City, or the Yankee Stadium. The
attitude of the State Athletic Com
mission toward Willard also may
have a bearing on whether the bout
is staged here. William Muldoon,
chairman of the commission and
author of the rule preventing men
over 38 years of age from boxing in
the state, allowed Willard to meet
Johnson last Saturday because the
affair was for charity.
It was believed .however, that the
age ruling would be set aside in view
of Willard’s victory over Johnson.
Willard, satisfied that his victory
over Johnson proved his physical fit
ness and ended the talk about him
being too old, left last night for Los
Angeles.

Betty Compson, the petite Dara

the purpose of filming her latest
picture “The White Flower,” which s
will be presented for a two days’ ■<
showing at the Rylander theater be
ginning today. . . . *
On the famous beach of Waikiki, | •
under the tutelage of native masters ; j'
of these fine arts, Miss Compson j
learned to ride the waves with the j
best of them.
Os the two, surf-board riding j
proved to be much more difficult. ‘
iln the story of “The White Flow- 1
' er” the star plays the.role of a half- J
caste girl, who is a complete, mis- *■
tress of these sea sports. So Miss j
I Compson promptly secured an in- (
I structor and devoted all spare time i

just how it is done.
Edmund Lowe, who plays the lead,

Social gatherings—the formal evening affairs where ladies

BRITISH TENNIS PLAYERS
FAVOR HARD COURTS
LONDON, May 16.—Tennis lite
everything else in these progressive
days, has to conform to altered world i
conditions and, following the change 1
from old to new Wimbledon and tne !
i adolition of “world’s titlA” there- I
from, comes the news that the Bri- i
tish Davis Cup trial matches will :
probably be held on hard courts. This j
j is in order that the selected players
’ may be used to the courts on which
most of the 18 competing countries
play, and also to the probability that !
the British team wiil have to go to
Belgium where hard courts are used.
These forthcoming trials, so far
as England is concerned, as likely j|
to bring out every little new talent, p
and the old country will have to rely
on such old guards as Kingscote,
Crawley, Gilbert, Lycett, Lowe, Max
Woosnam, and Roper Barrett. The
only new man mentioned with any
pretensions to Davis Cup form is the
young 23-year-old South African, J..
D. P. Wheatley, who has been edu
cated here and has qualifications to
play for Great Britain. •
Wheatley showed remarkable form
recently when he won the Covered
Courts Championship at Queens Club
beating in the final game the Inter
national Indian player, Doctor A.
11. Fyzee, three set to one.
