KEARNS ASSUMES DEMPSEY WILL WIN By DAVVIS J. WALSH (I. N. S. Staff Correspondent) GREAT FALLS, Mont., June 18. Jack Demsey, heavyweight champion of the world, probably will meet the survivor of the Willard-Firpo bout at Bolye's thirty acres, July 30. The import of a message received today by Jack Kearns, manager of the world's champion, from Tex Rickard, was that Demsey was offered the bout with the added feature of a match with Harry Wills, negro challenger, on Labor Day. Kearns replied immediately as follows: "Would like to go into further particulars as regards meeting winner of Willard-Firpo bout, July 30. Are you still interested in prospective match between Dempsey and Wills on Labor Day?" This message indicates that Kearns' attitude toward the bout between Dempsey and Gibbons at Shelby, Mont., July 4 is that the affair will end rather hurriedly, a belief supported by a number of authorities on affairs of the fight. Popular opinion is that Gibbons will take an early flop. Therefore, Kearns has not the slightest hesitancy in doing business with Rickard for future dates, with the winner of the Willard-Firpo bout uppermost in his mind. The date in question came at the suggestion of Rickard himself and probably will be accepted. Whether Demsey will be able to meet such men as Gibbons, the winner of the Willard-Firpo bout and Wills in rapid succession remains to be seen. Kearns, however, is doing the managing and Demsey is doing the fighting. Judging by his present form and his obvious disinelination to work, the champion will do very well to handle the barrier thus raised. Kearns, however, seems to take it for granted that Demsey can beat Gibbons in a punch or two and is footloose and fancy free, as far as negotiations with Rickard are concerned. He assumes that Demsey can beat not only Gibbona but the San Diego Again Claims B. B. TITLE. Stellar pitching of "Stubby" Neimeck of the San Diego won a 12 to 1 game over Covina for So. Calif. baseball championship Saturday at Fullerton. The southern lads started off batting in the first innning and kept up the action to the third. From them on there was no scoring one run was made in the eighth. Brown, Covina's second-baseman, reached home plate in the last innning and saved his team from goose egg. San Diego knocked a trio of runs in the last innning. Fahs showed as much interest as tho it had been a world series. ANNOUNCE LINEUP FOR ELKS LEAGUE There will be four divisions in the Calif.

Hibbard seracially laid a glove on the Argentine mauler. The uneven match raised theire of the spectators and it took hundreds of police and armed soldiers to maintain order at the ring. Firpo today challenged any American heavyweight to come to Mexico to meet him. He added "the game is good down here." Read Plain Dealer Want Ads.
