west It IS possible that while the
western fistic fans are commenting
on the ring abilities OF our lads a
few OF the favorites OF the Pacific
coast fans viii be performing in east

eastern boxers TO journey across the
continent will be Battling Ortega, one
OF the leading middleweights OF the
west. who claims San Francisco as
his home town. The battler is max

Kane opines that there Is more con-
centrated dynamite in Wilde's 95-
pound frame than he ever saw in any
single boxer before And as for let

New York, Jan. 16.-With the
ushering IN Of the New Year the
fistio fans OF the country are hank
ering for action in championship cir
cles.
They have their palates tuned up
for title dish" garnished with Jess
Willard and Jacques Dempsey. and
they are in a receptive mood for any
thing else in the line Of champion

The recent spasm emitted by ser

that Big Jess is hoping against hope
that the kind promoters viii save
Dempsey for him. has revived faded
hopes that -'mebbe" Willard VIII come

MOnahan told the world that the
big coWpuncher, contrary 10 general
belief, IS endeavOring 10 keep himself
In some kind OF shape with a possible
battle against Dempsey in view He
added that Willard believes Dempsey
is made TO order for him.
Now II Willard really has such
bunch all he has to do is come forth
and announce it himself The fact
that he 'let the feline out OF the
sack" through MOnahan, led Ilght
fans to suspect that the story OF VIII
lard's willingness to battle lacked a
solid foundation
So the bugs are waiting for Willard
to murmur, and meanwhile this Demp-
sey person is building himself more
enviable reputation as a knockout as
