All three of the boys mentioned

O -cr Neff aid not seem to dim taeir
hopes whatever with result that

krown lightweight, for a si&-round
semi-final with Young Mike. YescaS
has a record of knockouts quite as
impressive as Young Mikes. He's
been kilocking them over with con-
siderable regularity up in the north
ern section of the state and is con-
sidered one Of the toughest opponents
yet selected for the local boy.

vantage over Neff when they met

Is the public interested in a match
between Jack Dempsey and Harry
Wills?
VIM. A. Brady has come forward
with an offer of 100000 for meet
ing between the two men.
o o
Dempsey is the champion heavy
weight Of the world. Wills is con-
ceded to be the greatest negro fighter
at the heavyweight limit.
o o
Is there a demand for a meeting
between the two men? Certainly no
other fighter in the game today has
a better chance to win from Demp-
sey than Wills.
Talk of another meeting between
Dempsey and Carpenter is ridicu-
lous. OF course no one can blame
Dempsey for looking on such a bout
with favor as it would be soft pick
ing.
Possibly the foreign critics can
bunk the fight fans on the other side
into enthusing over such match.
However, / have my doubts about
it.
90
| saw the Dempsey Carpenter
fight. Carpenter showed danger
Gus right hand. He had Dempsey in
trouble once but only for few mo-
ments. Carpenter is simply physi-
cally untitled to cope with the cham
pion.
Jack Kearns, who is managing
Dempsey. is quoted in a news item,
saying he did not look on the pro-
posed match with favor.
Kearns is reported to have said
that Dempsey hasn't drawn the color
line. that he has no fear of meeting
Lewis, but that both he and Demp-
sey believe it is risky business
proposition. Kearns says he doesn't
believe the public would support the
match.
That Is a rather funny statement,
when one considers the proposition
made by VIM. A. Brady. The New
York promoter guarantees Dempsey
$500 and Wills $4,000. Why
should Kearns worry as to whether
or not the bout would draw. tust so
long as he gets his money.
At Toledo Dempsey punched Bill
Tate in sparring bouts as he pleased.
Tate, il seems, makes things inter-
esting for Wills. Dempsey shouldn't
fear Wills. In all probability he
does not. All of which makes the
statement Of Jack Kearns rather
hard to understand.
