100000 OFFERED FOR
DEMPSEY WILLS BOUT
BY PROMOTER BRADY
ASSOCIATED Negro Press)

New York, Feb. 3.-It begins to
look more and more like a Dempsey
Wills match every day, Harry New
man wired the Tribune. Along
comes Billy Brady, famed theatrical
manager, with the announcement that
he stands ready to offer a purse of
100000 for Dempsey and Wills to do
some boxing for the heavyweight
championship of the world. Brady is
no stranger to the fistic game, having
during his long public career man
aged such great fighters as Jim Cor
bett and Jim Jeffries.
Brady is sincere in the belief that
there is a public demand for match
between the colored champion and the
big Utah mauler. The offer of $780,
900 he thinks, is much more than
Dempsey could hope to gather for
return battle with Georges Carpen-
tier, which has been suggested for
London next summer.
A match was made the other day
which may lead up to a definite. ar
rangement for the Wills-Dempsey con-
test. Tex Rickard signed up Wills
and Kid Norfolk to do battle in the
garden for fifteen rounds on Thurs
day. March 2. No doubt the winner
of this bout will be selected as the
logical candidate to oppose Dempsey
for the proposed big match.
Rickard announced after completing
the necessary details for the Norfolk
Wills bout that he might revise his
opinion about a mixed match and
that if the public desired it he would
be very glad to have Dempsey match
ed with the winner Of the Norfolk
Wills bout.
