NII6SJOn NEWS OeINICGJ
And now comes the report from
distant eastern centehs that Jess
Willard. big, gawky and forty years
of age, is to meet Jack Dempsey in a
match for the heavy weight suprem-
acy.
1t appears to be just another sub
terfuge to way-lay and side-track the
Wills-Dempsey special wish is racing
forward to fight of international
proportions, with the pulse of the
public on the throttle. Who wants
to see the big Kansas City dub in
action? All that he ever had to re
mind one of a champion is his size.
Ankt Willard, himself, has admitted
that he doesn't believe that there is
anyone who can whip Dempsey in the
ring. But he gives as his excuse that
he wants chance to redeem himself
before the public.
Think of it, He has never been in
the good graces of the public, in the
first place, he only won one bout of
any consequence and that one was
from the willy Jack Johnson down in
sunny Cuba.
Victory Tainted BY Rumors
People of the race will never forget
that battle, when the famous globe
trotter, escaping this country with
the long arm of the law reaching out
to grab him, travelled to Spain, France,
Mexico and sundry other foreign
countries before he gave himself up.
And the fact that he was travelling
so fast with the heavy weight belt
dangling from his side proved a thorne
in the flesh of his numerous white
enemies. So a match was finally
trumped up in Cuba
1t took willard 26 long rounds to
knock out the soggy, over weight
johnson; and at the time, the clever
champion was nothing but a she'll of
his former self. johnson had just
come through wild period in which,
it is reported, wine, women and song
played no small part. Be that as it
may, Willard finally won and the
American sporting public went crazy.
But when unsavory rumors of a fixed
match began trickling back to this
country the gullible public, as quick
to 'razz" as to praise, demanded that
Willard show some more action. He
complied The result was a quick
knock out by Dempsey at Toledo.
Dempsey was fighting everyone un-
til he won the belt. Then he sud
denly went into his shell and with
his manager, the two Jacks formed
a perfect relay team, and they are
the men with certain promoters who
want to re-match Jack and Jess. The
bout won't draw a corporars guard.
Wills May Not Go Abroad
Harry Wills, so the rumor goes,
will not go abroad for the simple reas-
on that he has heard from reliable
sources that the Utah mauler is to
return to this country soon, possibly.
May goth.
However, the Brown Panther from
New Orleans and New York, relent-
less in his pursuit for a chance at the
title, will not be denied. 1t is claim
ed he will hound Dempsey until the
later is forced to meet him. Wills
made the startling announcement last
week that he would meet Lewis, Car
pentier and Beckett in one ring, all
in the same night and dispose of
each one within four rounds. All of
which goes to show that Wills really
means business and is going to pur-
sue Dempsey and finally force him,
through adverse public comment to
