JESS WILL FIGHT
Willard Wants to Meet Jack
Dempsey Once More.
Issues Challenge While Visiting
In Topeka.

You tell the world I'll fight Jack
Dempsey again and I'll whip him,
too"
This is the challenge which big Jess
Willard flung at the present heavy
weight champion while in Topeka
Tuesday night.
The papers have been saying that
this bird will fight anyone" said Will
lard We'll, he can get a scrap out
of me IL he will only say the word.
but I don't believe there Is anything
to him.
time to harvesting his crop of 225
acres of potatoes on his ranch near
Lawrence, but he will quit the farm
ing business and go into training for
fight with Dempsey the minute the
papers can be drawn up. Further
more, he is rearing to go provided the
public wants the fight pulled off
There is no doubt but that the
public wants to see Dempsey whipped,
and If they want me to, I'm the guy
that can do it," said Willard. 1T is
all UP to the public, but I believe there
am getting one hundred or more let
tiers every day from fight fans all over
the country asking me to tackle the
job again. My mail box won't hold
the letters and the carrier has to use
a basket. The other day he wanted
order house of some kind. If you will
come down to Lawrence I'll show you
a thousand letters from persons who
want me to whip Dempsey"
Willard says the only conditions he
demands are that Dempsey come thru
with contract and guarantee that
the fight will be staged, that he be
given at least four months in which to
train and that Dempsey tape his hands
after ne enters the ring.
He Must Have Contract.
'I don't want to go into training
and then have the bout fall thru like
it did last spring" said willard. II
trained to fight Dempsey ST. Patrick's
day but for some reason Dempsey
backed out. That is why q. real con-
tract to show that he is acting in good
faith must be signed before I will 90
in training again. I want four months
in which to train and I also want
Dempsey to tape his hands after we
enter the ring. If these conditions are
met I will fight him anywhere, say
January l would be a good time, and
I'll whip him, don't forget that"
II the fight is promoted it must he
done by Tex Richard, and Willard
says he will act as his own manager.
He also declares that Dempsey is the
only fighter he cares to meet, saying
il must be the champion or none.
Willard appears to be in fine physi-
cal condition and he says he never felt
better in his life. He weighs 266
pounds, which is about what he tipped
the scales at when he went into train
| ing to meet Dempsey last year. He
says he would have no difficulty in
reducing his weight to 240 pounds
within a short time.
Regarding the recent report that he

about now is his potato crop and an
other fight with Dempsey.

Mines Denies Statement
Mines denied Dunn's statement and
declared that the mill and smelterrlen
would not pay an assessment OF any
amount for the Bulletins support.
Connecting he subject with another
discussion, he asserted that if the
Bulletin were to remain as the fedora
tion's official organ it should be cen
sored by the organization.
Dunn explained that the money
would not be raised in the form OF
an official assessment-thatt the resoln-
ton only recommended that the mel
assess themselves % cents each. The
contributions" as the fund was e.
ferred to, will be converted into Tho

T. F. Murphy of the Anaconda clerks
arose to say he hoped the convention
would not take Mr. Mines seriously
and threw his support to Dunn further
by saying that Mines had condemned
the federation convention as meeting
of wobblies before he left his home
town. The resolution committees re-
port came on for consideration in the
