The New Zealand boxer Tom Reeney is training daily in the hope of securing a bout with Jack Dempsey in September. Heen'ey says he returned to the United States with the intention of becoming a diamond importer, but the late Mr. Tex Rickard and Mr. Harvey persuaded him to continue boxing. Mr. Rickard said he wanted him to meet Palini Uzcudun, the winner to meet Sharkey or Stribling and then Dempsey. The New Zealander says he hopes for a chance to meet Dempsey and also Uzcudun. If he failed to beat the latter he would leave the ring and stait in the diamond business.
