HARRY WILLS AND DEMPSEY.
Preston News Service


New York City, July 14.--lt's conf
ing! That Wills-Dempscy bout for the
heavyweight championship of the
world. Just how soon and what tho ar
engagements arc, no one. right at the
present time, Is in position to say.
But meeting is to be held IN the
very near future at Madison Square
Garden. Dempsey and Kcarns are eN-
pected to drop in for a Chat with Tex
Richard, veteran matchmaker an"
promoter. Incidentally, Harry wills
and his manager, Paddy Mullins will
be there. Then the details will be ar
ranged, the time, and the place OF the
bout agreed on, the purse for each OF
the main participants and other ma.
tiers pertaining to bout, which Will
without doubt be tho greatest heavy
weight match In a decade.
Writing for the Preston News Serv-
ice William G. Num- has the follow
ing to say
"Things right now are ut stand
still. Dempsey and Kearns gre away
on an extended tour OF the West, but
it Is expected that they will be back
most any time. Then look out for the
fireworks.
And now that a Wills-Dempsey bout
Is practically sewed up, one cannot
but help admire the diplomatic policy
Of the only logical contender Did no
flood newspaper Offices with challens
es for a title bout? Did he boast Of his
ability to perform in the ring? Did he
flaunt his fcats, and they are many,
before the eyes Of a none-to-suscepti-
Lle public?
No, Wills did none Of these things.
He was too wise and crafty. Last year
VIXEN interviewed here, Ire stated that
he would let public opinion mould it
self and whom the people discover
ed his true worth, they would force
Dempsey into match. Quiet, but
none-theless determined Wills atti-
tudo has made Il distinctly favorable
impression. The result has been that
newspaper writer's are sport critics
fro mall over the country, finally
agreed that Wills was the only man
Qualified to meet Dempsey.
The result? You can see it for your
self. These writer's took up the ar
and hewed close to the line. Did their
action have the desired effect?? Well
here's what has happened. Last month
the New York State Boxing Commits
sion. headed by Muldoon, demanded
that Wills, who, with the foresight OF
field marshal, had issued his chal
lenge at the psychological moment, be
given q chance. Dempsey laughed al
| first, then seeing the far-reaching es
feet Of the organization, hemmed anu
hawed, but finally accepted the chal
lengs.
| Now the bout is certainly, but few
we feel, have ever realized what 8
quiet, patient, watchful. but nonethe
less diplomatic policy Mr.. Willis used
to cinch affairs"

The Pittsburgh American with Mr..
Ernest Rice Mckinney as editor is
severe IN It's criticism Of DR.. Kelly Nh
Ter, in his argument for a greater ~.
spcct for law and the constitution. 1t
charges that the learned doctor dee.
some peculiar reasoning in speaking
OF the violations Of the 18th Amend
ment to the Constitution. 1t quotes
Am rs follows:
"Thc Negro bootlcggcr is the great
est enemy Of his race"
1t comments as follows:
We do not think that this statement
is anywhere near tho truth. We are be
set by number OF enemies and it is
more than difficult to pick that Vn>
which is the greatest enemy"
The Negro boot.legger is no greater
evil to Negroes than Is the white ,>-o,.
logger to Caucasians. He is lawleSs
individual the same as any other law
breaker and is no more harmful than
any other. Mr.. Miller seems to put
the Negro boot-leggcr In the same
class that Mr.. Henry Ford places the
Jewish boot-legger.
We are Of the poinion that the Negro
politician. bootlcggers of the Republi
can Party, and Negro leaders such ps
Robert lsussa Motion, are far greater
enemies Of ours than any group of
Negro boot-leggers.
But Prof. Miller goes on with Il limo
of sophistry and illogical reasoning
that Is truly remarkable. He says: i
the Negro IN order TO crafty his grecl
for gain or passion for pleasure vio-
lates the Eighteenth Amendment,
with what logical consistency can he
denounce the Southern white men for
overthrOwing the Fifteenth Amend
ment for political and racial advant-
age?" For absurdity and crassness
this argument stands In a class alone.
How Kelly Miller. scholar that he IS,
can make comparison between the in
dividual Negro law-breaker ana IN.
organized and lcgalized discriminate
ion against Negroes, in the South, Is
Il mystery indeed. The mass Of Negro.
cs are not boot-leggers and tlre:r viola
ton Of the law at this point Is the
Sams as any law-breaking. Also, it IS
not directed at any class or race. But
the overthrow Of the Fifteenth Amend
ment Is mass action Of Southerners
directed solely at Negro citizens,
One would think from reading Prof.
Mhllcr's argument that Bookkeeping
was under tho control of colored peo-
pie as Il group and that TREY had Con-
spired to abrogate the 18th Amend
mcnt to tire detriment OF some parti-
cular group, for example, white South
erners. 1t is the kind Of argument that
ono hears from white demugogues
and our own barborshop 1oungers.
We are Of the opinion that this able
editor leans too far backward" that
he is as radical in his assertions "A;

Mr.. Garvey says that when one
Negro succeeds. he Is Of the opinion
that the whole race is succeeding.
This Is the truth. When the ma

even though each one Of them be-
l.eyes himself to be the whole race.
