Tex Rlckard doesn't care how many guesses the boys take so long as they make It clear that the New York promoter has tbe market In title boats cornered. There Is no limit to the number of chances on this merry-go-round. Maybe Riekard himself does not know the answer. But the experts are doing the best they can to help him . out.

Others say it will he bounding Johnny Rlsko, the big rough and tumble boy. Johnny is backed by the bakers and pretiel benders the "big dough men."

There Is still a chance for several more teams to enter, and Mr. Boardman urges that as many churches in the city enter teams as possible.

In his last three fights, hare taken the logic out of the sailor's challenge. - Back again, then, goes the guess that It will "be Dempsey and that the one big title fight that Rlckard clans this year will be held in September instead of July. Meantime Gene Tunney and the New York boxing commissioners are having a little guessing con test of their own. The comlssioners aren't quite flattered by the way the champion has Ignored their list of heavy weight challengers Sharkey, Heeney and Risko. They see no humor In the fact that Sharkey Is at the head of a list of logical con tenders even though some of the experts do. The solons will exhibit their annoyance tomorrow wnen mey consider Tunney's reply to their request for definite action and even may take some drastic action against teh champion. Tunney, a New Yorker, hasn't forgotten that the commission re fused to recognise hi as a chal lenger in 1926. the year he won the title In Philadelphia, and also erected obstacles in 1927 that forced Riekard to take the second Dempsey-Tunney battle to Chica go.

(AP AH Pacific- coast eonferen football game In the northwes will start at t p. m., graduate managers of this division decided tonight at the first of a aerlea of conferences Intended to iron out difficulties in the operation of the conference. Few matter of great Import were discussed today, due to the absence of Earl Foster, graduate manager of Washington State college. The meeting will continue over tomorrow. The proposed four year football schedule was discussed at length tonight but no action was taken. Under the operations of this plan the present contract and agree ments would be scrapped and a slate for a four year period made. Radio broadcasting came up for discussion at the meeting tonight. with especial reference to the broadcsetlng of football games. Carl Lodell, graduate manager of Oregon State college, and Darwin Meisnest, former University of Wasington graduate manager, have prepared an elaborate report which they will present tomor row. Arrangements for the north west track meet at Missoula. Mon tana in June were discussed to night, but no definite program wa announced. Portland football fans will be given the advantage of a lower scale of prices for the college games in the fall of 1928, it was decided. This action was taken because attendance last year was not op to expectations. The group favored the promo tion of a greater variety in the inter-collegiate program of athletics, mentioning handball, volley ball, lacrosse, gymnastics and others. It Is planned to work these in with the physical education pro gram of northwest Institutions. The managers adopted the slo gan: "More sports for more stu dents." T TO FIGHT DEW MIAMI BEACH.

Rlckard said he was expecting acceptance of a Loughran-Deianey bout offer fro mthelr managers tonight or tomorrow, but he stress ed that Delaney's shift back to his old division had no significance as far as Tunney's opponent this year was concerned, "Neither Delaney; nor Loughran Is big enough to worry, a man as strong nd clever as Tunney," Rlckard declared, but added that Loughran "if he keeps on growing may be a good xnach for Tunney in 19t9." "It would be foolish for Tommy to step out of the light heavy weight class now," the promoter asserted. Rickard's announcement came as a denial of reports that . a Loughran-Deianey match would l be arranged to select an opponent for Tunney this year.
