HELD IN YEAR
Walsh Holds Public Opinion
viii Force Dempsey Into Ac-'
ton. Other Moves Failing. /.
BY DAVIS J. WALSH.

NEW YORK. June 1.-THE post:
ing Of $500 by Harry wills as q
forfeit to meet Jack Dempsey and
the acceptance Of the same by the
New York State Boxing Commission
makes 1t as sure as slow poison that
the champion will face the black
within the period Of a year, at the
very least. The New York body is
Tby no means all powerful. and even
II II went so far and so foolishly as
to declare Dempsey's title void
through his failure to accent the
challenge, nobody would consider the
decision valid. They don't fall heir
to titles by forfeit in America. Il
An inestimably stronger and more
persuasive force than that repre-.
sented by the august rulings OF the
New York State Boxing Commission
will prompt Jack Dempsey to accept
the inevitabIe-and the match. It
Is public opinion. z,
Public opinion will not stand for
Dempsey side-stepping the issue now
that Wills has come out I'm the open
with q formal charge supported by
real American dollars. y
Certain elements may prate that
II Is the worst of bad business to give
another negro a shot at the heavy.
weight title. To these II might be
pointed out that one thing worse
than that, greater reflection On
the dignity and common sense of the
white race, would be for Dempsey,
the champion. to ignore worthy
challenger. be the color of ink
Right now Dempsey IL recognized
as heavyweight champion of the
world. But the time has come TO
prove II, and II the proof involves
colored man, II is all the more
necessary that the def be taken up
without unseemly delay. The weight
of public opinion bears down hard on
that point and no man, least of all
one who represents the highest in
achievement, can afford to ignore
| the popular voice.
That the New York Commission
seems willing to waive whatever OBJ.
jections Il may have entertained IN
the case Of Wills, toward mixed
bouts here. is plainly indicated by
the published statements Of William
Muldoon, its chairman. The com.
mission holds that II must receive
word from Dempsey before 1t can
take any action on the mixed bout
question: that, in other words, the
match must be made first before the
commission will make known Ns
/ mind.

However. these latter reconcile
