JACK DEMPSEY AGREES TO

Boston. Feb. 22.--Jack Kearns
manager Of Jack Dempsey. the heavy
weight champion, and Paddy Mullins.
manager Of Harry Wills. held def
mite conference last night on the
Dempsey-Wills match. They agreed
at least to this much. II any promot-
er comes forward who can guarantee
them enough money and a location
where they have the necessary pro-
lection. tho match is on.
Mullins called on Kearns. They
were closeted together for an hour,
discussing various phases of the
match. Dempsey wants to meet Wills
and Wills wants to meet Dempsey.
Tho managers are agreeable.
1t now remains for some promoter
TO smoke up" the public interest that
may overcome official prejudice against
the affair.
Tex Fdckard has gone on record as
saying that his experience with the
Johnson-Jeheries bout cured him of
and desire to stage another big mill
In which Negro iss involved. He
says he was chased out Of California
and almost stopped again In Nevada
at the last minute.
Kearns and Mullins think that per-
haps ten years may have softened the
old prejudice, especially as Wills de-
neanor has been above reproach.
After the conference Mullins return
ed to New York. Both he and Kearns
seem TO be proceeding cheerfully on
the theory that Wills viii easily over
