DEMPSEY AGAIN TO RETURN.
MEETING WITH TUNNEY IN SEPTEMBER.
Now York, Mar. 2. Tex Rickard has announced that The Spring Meeting of the Fan-Jack Dempsey intends to return Hing Hunt will take place this to the ring. It is anticipated that afternoon at Kwanti Racecourse, Dempsey will again meet Gene and, if the rain keeps off, I cer- Tunney for the world's heavy- tainly think we are in for a good weight championship in Septem- day's sport. The first race is
bor advertised to start at 3 p.m. sharp.
Owing to the continued success of the steeplechase meetings, the masters have decided to include another race which makes the pro- gramme an interesting one of six
.events.
I gave the track the "once over" yesterday afternoon and it cer- tainly looks in excellent condition. I have not the slightest doubt that good tinies will be registered in) most of the events.
Special arrangements are being made by the oficials of the Rail way who will dispatch an express train that will leave Kowloon nt p.m. and arrive in plenty of time for the first race.
The first race on the card is the Dowbiggin Cup Handicap for ponies which have been stable on the Mounted Infantry lines. Thanks are due to the Masters for providing a rage for these wonder- fal old ponies, which, to say the least of it. have had a fairly rough" passage: Although this race will probably be classed as a field of "wassers," it is sure to create a certain amount of excitement. Most of the riders lay claim to being amongst the heaviest of the heavies, but all have proved them- selves good game hunt followers and I am sure they will achaft them selves very creditably.
Heeney's Chances,
Rickard said he did not think that the New Zealander, Tom Heeney, had made a sufficiently good showing against Jack Dela- ney to warrant a match between him and Tunney in June, but many of the best Américan boxing critics do not share Rickard's vięw.— Reuters American Service
Tex Rickard said that at the present time it is intended to match Heeney with the winner of the Sharkey-Risko fight to take place on March 12, that, is if that ght does not produce an out- standing opponent qualified to meet Tunney in the first of the two fights which the heavyweight champion wants this year.- Reuter's American Service,
