A $10 bill binding' a contract entered Into by Jack Dempsey, and Floyd FiUaimmon wttbrBr-C. Clement, president os the ..Chicago Coliseum Athletic: club, may block Tex Rickard's plans for staging 'a heavyweight fight between the title holder and Gene Tunney here In September. Attorneys representing Rickard and Clements were in conference tonight to ascertain the ralidity of Clements' contract. Rickard said that lit the event the contract was held valid by his attorneys he would stop negotiations- for" the bout, temporarily at least, and may decide to hold It in Jersey City after all. f Fitzsimmons'claims.the Chicago Coliseum club promised, to pay him and Dempsey J150.000 for the assignment - of his contract with4h-champIon, the' amounts to bof 'jsaldi In installments, of $1002)0? and 5,00t):each.

Clements' - purported contract with Dempsey signed in Los An geles' on March13, calls for pay ment.ot $800,000 to the champion to fight Harry Wills, the negro challenger, here or elsewhere. It was signed In consideration of $10 and provides that $300,000 shall be advanced to the champion on August 5. and that f 50. 000 addi tional . . Khali hA tinirl hp Torn the contest.

Dempsey did 'not receive any consideration for signing that set of articles but Will was paid $60,000 by An drew M. Weisberg, a South Bend hotel man, and so faT as known Wills- tin holds the- money. Later Wefsberg and his associ ates dickered with Clements and Fitslmihens for the assignment of the contract to the Chicago Coliseum club. Clements followed Dempsey and Fltxsimmons to the coast on March 13 and the assign ment of fcontraet was made and Dempsey then signed a new set of articles with the Coliseum club. These were to have been placed In escrow Vita a Chicago bank until payment of that sum was made. When tne arait was sent through and - payment was not met, Fitrsimmons said he turned the papers over to Dempsey and tho latter - Inserts he destroyed thorn, C lenient s claims the contracts are still in escrow here. Fit-slni-nions asserts that if Clements has a copy of thd- originals lie - holds themJllegally. Rickard -says that both his backers and tho Illinois boxing eoifftgtHfton,h e- demanded a showdown on the papers Clements claims tor' hoWi ' If Rickard's at torneys find that Clements has n claim on Dempsey's services then the Dempsey - Tunney arrange ments will proceed at once. In the event Clements contract is found valid, aething can be done until the Coliseum club is given a. chance to make good on its payment of $$60,000 to tho champion August 5. If the Coli seum club fails to make good then Rickard can begin work again. Rickard said ho could not re veal his backers until the matter was straightened out.
