Angkard presses need for new boxing figures in New York
Promoter Tex Rickard says boxing must replace aging stars and add many new bouts at Madison Square Garden this winter to attract public interest. He criticizes high priced fights as past, supports a plan to pay fighters on a percentage basis, and cites Downey's show as an example of costly spectacles. He foresees Dempsey and Willard challenging for titles within 12 months if terms are fair.

Boxer Willard trainee vows comeback despite charges
The report outlines Willard beginning training after a long layoff as he plans a bid to regain the light heavyweight crown before next summer. A New Jersey referee accuses him of a poor exhibition, with testimony from Isryun Lawacy of Cleveland and Rickard denying any disgrace to the sport. Savage defends the bout as a sanctioned title defense, while McLair, the boxing counter, notes the need to keep rivals away from a controversial match as the hearing proceeds.
