THREAT BY DEMPSEY

Insists Site for Bout With
Willard Be Named by May
Misses Jess in Chicago.
Special Despatch to Tue srN.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, April 21.--Jess Willard,
heavyweight champion. and Jack Demp-
sey who are to battle for the title July
4. were slated to confer here to-day on
the question OF referee for the bout.
They did not confer. because Dempsey
left town about the hour that the cham
pion arrived from Kansas City.
Willard, however. expressed no dis
appointment over failing to meet his
future foe. In fact Jess is here more
for the purpose of posing in a movie
thriller than for closing details incl
dental to the titular scrap.
Before Dempsey left town to fill a
weeks theatrical engagement at Cedar
Rapids. Iowa. he let loose a few words
indicating that all is not well with the
July engagement. The challenger is n
bit tired OF the apparently dilatory tao
tics of Tex Richard. the promoter
Dempsey said that unless the site for
the battle was announced by May 4 he
would board boat for London, where
he can meet Georges Carpenter.
Just when the referee problem will he
settled now is problem. Dempsey will
be back here in week, but there Is no
way of telling where Willard will be at
that time. There are FIVE men now in
line for the position. They are Matt
Hlnkel. Jim Griffin, Jack Skelly. Charlie
Murray. and Young Mitchell. The fact
that Hinkel. a Clevelander. is named
indicates that Richard must be giving
some thought to an Ohio site and in that
event would want native Buckeye" in
the ring with the two gladiators.
Willard came here looking about
ready for action. He has taken of
considerable weight while training at his
home at Lawrence. Kansas, and says
he will enter the ring around the $50
notch. This means that he expects TO
weigh about the same as when he
fought Frank Moran at New York. He
says that he needs only about month

II have read Mr.. Sweets admission

ing the desirability of boxing. and his
suggestion that devotees OF the sport
should make another attempt on Janu-
airy l to obtain favorable legislation. n
the people of New York are entitled to a
boxing law next January. they are en-
tilted to II this instant. What condl-
tons can arise in the next nine months
that would make a boxing law more de-
sirable than at this time? ] have a
rather strong belief that Mr. Sweet, who
seems to have been responsible for the
death Of the boxing bills. was acruated
by a determination to prevent the
staging OF the Willard-Dempsey contest
in New York State, 1t by no means
followed that would have put the
bout on here, even had the Walker bill
been passed.

killing OF the bills was blow aimed
by Speaker Sweet at me and the heavy
