Dempsey-Wins Bout
for Next July 4 Is
Talked in New York
Negro Fighter Is Bigger, Stronger, Faster and
Harder Hitter Than Champion Some
of Experts Believe.

round he missed nearly everything he
started for and the few blows he land
ed did not hit the vital spots at which
they were aimed. Whether Wills has
a good defense or whether he car
stand up under wallop was not shown
/ as Norfolk made no serious attempt
! to hit him.
Beaten by Langford
The big blacks record does not IN
dictate that he could stand up long after
! a few of Dempseys shots had connect
ed. He was knocked out twice by Sam
Langford. the only high class man he
ever fought At that time Wills was
at his best. while Langford was long
past his prime.
Wills has long neck and a weak
looking jaw. He is rather small in the
waist. Otherwise he is well built for
the fighting game. He has fine pair
Of long. well muscled arms. and there
is no doubt he can deliver powerful
wallops.
Wills is not nearly as accurate a
hitter as Dempsey. He swings wider
than the champion. who has learned to
use nothing but short, snappy hooks
and uppercuts. The negro is not nearly
as well built as his white skinned rival.
This is unusual. for in all other famous
mixed matches of ring history the ne
gro was the better built man.
Whether Wills is as game as Demp-
sey is not known. The black has not
important point clear. He once quit
in bout with Battling Jim Johnson,
but he is said to have broken his arm
on that occasion.
Most Formidable Prospect
Whether Wills is as good as he was
in his younger days is another point
that is not clear. The bout with Nor
folk was expected to throw light on
thing of the kind. It is several years
since Wills took part in a bout with
nn opponent worth mentioning, so that
there is no means Of telling how he
would act in gruelling battle with
a real fighter.
Although Wills may not be nearly as
great fighter as he is supposed to
be, there is not much doubt that he
is the most formidable Of Dempsey's
prospective opponents. Unfortunately
there is no one Of his own race good
enough to give him real test. With
Norfolk out of the way the rest of the
black heavyweights are no better than
the white heavyweight contenders
Regarding waiter Kingsley an
nouncement that Dempsey was going
to sail on the Aquitania on April 10
for a theatrical tour of Europe and
would meet Carpenter in June. Man
ager Kearns refuses to definitely com
nit himself He admitted that the
European tour was q possibility and
that if he took the champion abroad
the Wills match would have to wait
until September.
Kearns May Balk
1T is even doubtful whether kearns.
despite everything that has been said
regarding match with Wills. will now
consent TO permit Dempsey to go
through with it. The Dempsey
Kearns scouts that were at the ring
side in the Norfolk fight by this time
have informed Kearns exactly what
happened and he knows what manner
Of fighting man Wills really is.
The Wills who beat Norfolk is bigger
and stronger. faster and harder hit
ter than Dempsey. Whether Dempsey
can out think or out-game the giant
black man is q matter of conjecture.
