Jack Dempsey Accepts
 Challenge e of Wills
Jack Requests Conference Be Held to Arrange Date of the Fight
By Associated Press

New York, June 2s-First steps in negotiations which, 1t is believed, eventually will bring Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills, negro pugulist, into the ring for a titular match for the heavyweight crown, were taken today when Dempsey formally accepted Wills challenge.
 This acceptance was announced by the New York state boxing commis- sion. This body acknowledged receipt of the challenge and deposit of $2,500 and later issued a proclamation that unless Dempsey before July 10, ac- cepted under reasonable conditions. his title would be declared forfeited as far as New York state boxing ter rifory was involved. In accepting the cHallenge. Dempsey. through his man. aker, Jack Kearns. requested con- ference between the principals soon, for consideration of details of the prpposed bout. It Is understood the mhnagers of the two heavyweights wi4l meet and arrange the necessary prkliminary details within the next ten days,
 'z Jack Does His Part
 1.he secretary of the boxing conn mission. in issuing the formal state m@ht, said if the match did not ap- peal to promoters and there were no bids for such a contest, Dempsey, haNing fulfilled his part of the con- trAct by accepting the challenge, would remain In possession of the title in the state. If, however, the boRers should refuse what the boxing commission considered reasonable offer. both would lose their status.
 Manager Mullins. speaking for Wtfls, said that he desired bout be- fore fall, but such appeared improb- able. Tex Riekard the promoter frcam whom, 1t is understood, both heAvyweights expect an offer stated alphabetically that he would not be interested in a contest before next suthmer.
 fIt is entirely too late" he said. "to attempt to stage bout of this calibre this year.
 sIn order to meet the terms of Dempsey and Wills. 1t would be nec- essary to hold match in the open air and make numerous arrangements for handling a huge crowd of spec tators. As a result of my experiences in the Johnson-J -Jeffries, Dempsey, Willard and Dempsey. .Carpentier bouts. I know it would require fully six months properly to prepare the arena and boxers for this contest.
 'I would not consider pluuinB TUT the match unless the boxers would agree to delay their meeting until next summer"
 A Year From Now
 If is also doubtful whether the pu- gilists actually expect to meet inside of 12 months. Dempsey has stated that he requires several building up matches before he is ready to risk his title against such a formidable contender as the black panther. He is understood to be con sidering matches with Bill Brennan, Jess Willard and Harry Greb, ana while not III these contests would pc of championship calibre, they would lead. in training. and combat, to prep aration for a clash with Wills
 As far as Is known, the negro heavyweight has no prospective matches in sight.

 Stuttle played a splendid game in carrying Wright to the thirty-fifth, but nerve and experience of the pa- cific coast shooter proved too much for Stuttle, and he finally broke un- der the strain. At the twenty sey- erth, Stuttle sank 15-foot putt to square the match. but from then on Wright had things pretty much his own way.

Affidavits, Please


 Earl Whitehill has a prize yarn that he tells on a certain small league in which he played few years ago Umpire Jim Lynch was officiating in the game and received an emergency call from uptown. The boy, who answered the phone, hurried out into the stands, attempting to page the umps. Lynch, the umpire, Lynch, the umpire" yelled the boy. He had been pretty rotten," said Earl and this innocent uterance from the boy in the stands caused Q fusilade of pop bottles to fly to- wards the dome of the umps."

 Our idea of perfect control is the pitcher who could aim one at Andy Gump's chin and hit it. Speaking of good pegs, it looks like all of the Angels who play in the Coast league should have strong wings.
