Dempsey Delays Return As Indoor Talks Stall
New York, Oct 11 The next heavyweight eliminations under Tex Rickard will not feature Jack Dempsey until indoor Madison Square Garden negotiations finish and the outdoor 1928 season begins. Dempsey’s terms are deemed too high for indoor gate limits, and he’ll await the winner of the winter series. If Jim Sharkey wins, a rematch with Dempsey could draw $1,000,000 at the Garden. The new tournament shapes up with Scott vs Paulino and Uzcudun for the November 4 show, while Delaney, Renault, Heeney, Risko and Sharkey are routed for potential spots in the open field. Scott vows to defeat Paulino at Madison Square Garden on November 12, amid grueling boasts and a European bragging match atmosphere.
