DEMPSEY WILLARD
BOUT HERE IN FALL
jess Has Articles for Bout,
but Is Holding Out for
Another Date.
ny w. o. McGEEHAN.

The Dempsey Willard bout, which has
been hanging like the foolish sword Of
MIR. Damocles, is about to drop in this
vicinity. Tex Rickard, who will sponsor
the thing, wants II 10 be held at Boyie's
Thirty Acres on October s. which will
have II In the middle OF the world series.
Mr.. Willard is holding out for Armistice
Day. There may or may not be some
sinister significance In the date asked
by Mr.. Willard.
If the match can be brought about
Mr.. Jack Dempsey will be much obliged
TO Mr.. Richard and all the customers.
AS things stand right now il looks as
though the Attorney General of Indiana
might forbid Jack to hit Bill Brennan
on the chin for the third and last time
at Michigan City. and consequently Jack
will be out OF work this fall at a time
when he would like TO be accumulat ing
something to put aside for a rainy day.
Mr.. Dempsey has not reached the
condition Of abject poverty which they
say has come to Benny Leonard. the
lightweight champion. but at the same
time both Mr.. Dempsey and Mr.. Kearns
would like a little change. In fact they
are so anxious 10 gather some that they
would even have Dempsey strike an old
man like Willard on the chin to get it.
which is the tipoff on the grasping dis
position Of the modern pugilist.
willard Has the Articles.
According to the latest communique
from headquarters at Madison Square
Garden, Jess Willard now has the ar
ticles for the bout with Dempsey and Is
going over them with IL microscope. The
elderly gentleman has signified that the
terms are much to his liking, all except
ing the date. Any day may bring a
wire from Willard TO the effect that lie
has signed, and then the ring at Boyle's
Thirty Acres will be swept out again
If Willard accepts all conditions, in
Guiding the date, he will leave shortly
for this city and pitch a training camp
in the vicinity. II Is hardly probable
sions to the camp as he did while work
ing for Moran.
