JACK To MEET
ALL COMERS AS
SULLIVAN DID
Dempsey viii Travel With
Road Show; Says Willard
VIII Not Fight.
ADMITS MEEHAN IS
ANNOYING BOXER

DEFORE boarding a train for New
| u Orleans Jack Dempsey gave vent
to some Of his pugflistic and other
musings in New York. For one
thing, he does not believe he ever
viii get a fight with Jess willard
Nor does he expect anybody else VIII
set a bout with the champion. for
Dempsey is convinced Willard has no
intention OF taking part IN any more
fights. Dempsey said he expected
Willard to announce before long that
he had resigned the title and left II
open to competition
II that comes to pass Dempsey
VIII land the hOnOrE- It Is TO he
hoped shnt Willard will not
sspreseuts the championship to
Dempsey or anybody else, for such
n proceeding would be futile and
convey no title.
Dempsey will shortly take to the
road with a show, meeting all corners.
as did John I. Sullivan "As far as I
can see there is nothing better in
sight for me than to go out with this
show" said Dempsey. There are no
heavyweiEhts IN line for a long fight
with me unless some OF the fellows
who were developed in army and navy
bouts come forward J would like TO
fight Willie Meehan 20 rounds and |
stop that foolish talk about his hav- I
ing the Indain sign on me. I have |
beaten him five times In five tries. 1
and I can knock him out IN q long
flight. Meehan is not q powerful /
hitter. but he can take a punch and /
is q very awkward and annoying op-
ponent- However, there is no chance /
Of real fight with Willie until he /
gets his discharge from the navy"
