THE BOXING TITLE
PROMOTER DENIES RUMOUR. NO POSTPONEMENT OF BOUT. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) NEW YORK, July 3. (Received July 3, at 10 p.m.) Mr Tex Rickard emphatically denied the rumours that he was considering the substitution of another heavy-weight for Heeney, and would postpone the bout in consequence of an alleged lack of interest. He stated that the advance sales already exceed 250,000 dollars, adding, “ I think the betting odds will favour Heeney by three to one when he enters the ring to fight Tunney.”—Australian Press Association.
