Dempsey July 4.
New York, Feb. 13.-The decisive
manner in which Jack Dempsey, tho
new heavyweight star, defeated Carl
Morris, has, according to a report
from Cheyenne, Wyo., received here
yesterday, earned the Salt Lake
battler a contest with Willard for the
championship. The report from the
West is to the effect that the cham
pion and Dempsey will meet in
Cheyenne July next for a guaran-
teed purse Of 100000, which now is
said to be in the hands of p. Chester
Thompson Of that city, who will pro-
mote the match.
The conditions for the match have
not yet been decided on, but it will
be twenty rounds Or more to a ref
erees decision. 1t is understood that
Willard will take $4,000 of the
purse, leaving $4,000 to Dempsey,
the champion being of the opinion
that the glory of a battle for the
championship should be quite suf-
fcient for the youngster.
On January the champion made
announcement that if Dempsey could
obtain a match with Carl Morris and
beat him decisively and then defeat
Fulton Dempsey could have a match
for the title. Willard added that he
would not consider Fulton as an OPP
ponent because of his poor showing
against NIiske.
In view of F'ulton's quick knock
out of Tom McMa11on, the champion
may ask Dempsey to meet Fulton be-
fore signing articles with the young
ster for a title match
