 That was the answer of Kearns, to the question: VIII Dempsey fight Harry Wills ?''
 But please do not eonstrue this as an effort on our part to cook up a fight with Wills" he continued "Of the present possible heavyweight contenders. Wills probably looms up as the best. but he is a black man."
 This may be safely interpreted as indicating that public sentiment Is against mixed matches.

 another Amos Rusie, and WIG Biu' certain made good the boast or . his old chief. Donovan was quite an eminent whitewasher when he was in the major leagues. He pitched 36 run less games while he was in last com spany, 29 of these for Detroit and SIX for Brooklyn. The White Sox were kept away from the plate no less than eight times by Chief Bender's sue
 cessor. This is Donovans record as a major league whitewasher: American League-29. Chicago, $; New York, $; Philadelphia, 3; CleVe- land and Washington, 3; Boston and St. Louis. ?.

Jack Johnson Lauds Old Ring Foe, Sam McVey, And Saves
 Him From Potter's Field

We fought three Ames,". said Johnson. ''Ie was the toughest man I ever fought. He hit me harder than ] was ever hit before or since. l returned ftra compliment. Sam had the worst left hand I ever encoun- tered. It was a short chop. loaded with T N T. Sam I4angford had just such a hook in either hand, but Langford, great as he was for his weight and inches, had neither the weight nor leverage to drive his socks home.
 'T fought McVey three times. Twice l gained the decision over linn ited dista nces. Once I knocked him out in the twentieth round at Me chanics' Pavilion, San Francisco. And wish to tell you in that fight I was hit ihe hardest blow I ever took in my life. It was one of those short left chops to the mouth that stove in my teedh and left my head dizzy and body numb for ten rounds or more. Finally, when I nailed McVey I hit sam on the jaw harder than I ever hit any other man, and at that the count scarcely bea4 him. A good, game man AIcVey. That's why I'm here.'

Jack Johnson, conQueror of Jim JeffffrEes and former negro heavy weight champion, who is on his knees for a chance to stage a. come back effort in the ring, has faced many knocking squads, but stpe old fellow has a, heart. He came all the way from Cincinnati to New York to give his old friend and ring foe, sam McVey, a decent burial, saving him from Pottcr's Field.
 ''I came to bury Sam, not to praise him." he said in New York, after he had performed his mission, and there was a suggestion of dewdrop in the challenging eye of the stoicaI face.
 sam meant much to me- he hast ened on. The old black guard is waning. Athletic decay has set in in the race that was once physically greaS'
 The giant negro referred to Sam McVey, short-time dead, and destined to be buried in Potter's Field if Jack Johnson had not hurried East from Cincinnati to guarantee funeral ex- penses. For many years Johnson knew McVey, his duslly rival, and appreciated him.

tor. If the public wants match be- tween Dempsey and Wills, it will 1n- dicate it's desires. And you can say that Dempsey will be responsive to the public desires. He realizes that as a champion he Is subject 10 the wishes of the public that makes the boxing game possible.
 Dempsey fought colored men be- fore he became champion. He fears no one and if the public demanded the bout he would not draw the color line"
 kearns Is not convinced that the public is demanding such a match.
 Wills and the men back of him are seeking cheap publicity by cooking up offers of matches" he said These offers will receive no consideration from me. Whenever a reputable, if nancially able promoter of the type of Tex Riokard begins to talk of match. we will listen. So far such promoters have not been talking such match and believe they oppose it. But get this straight - Dempsey Is ready and willing to fight any one the public wants him to-
