Al Smith Looks With Tolerant
Eye on Proposed Heavy

BY DAVIS j. WALSH.

NEW YORK. Dec. 29.-Diplomat-
&c revival Of the Dempsey Wills
proposition is in order when Jack
Kearns arrives in New York in a
glow Of dissatisfaction and cut
away coat. some weeks hence. This
IS the good word that has gone out
among the fistic elite. From sources
unknown higher up, the tip has
been given that all IS now well and
the interested parties may proceed
with their plans without fear OF
discreet Interruptions
Al Smith, the new governor. is said
to look with a tolerant eye upon the
proposal. At any rate. he is believed
10 be in a receptive mood and in no
wise inclined to interfere as long
as the law is obeyed. Gentlemen Of
the press. therefore. may expect 70
De duly Informed almost any time
now that public demand for the
match can be restrained no longer.
1t is believed that Kearns is con-
WINGED that neither Floyd Johnson
nor Luis Firpo can be built up into
"a convincing attraction before the
summer months and realizing that
Dempsey is gaining nothing by his
protracted idleness. is ready TO do
business with the first real contender
that happens along. The latter and
Harry Wills are one and the same.
Impractical Site.
The bout viii be put on. If moth
ing unforeseen occurs. in New York
during the coming summer and il is
possible that the Polo grounds will
be the scene OF the affair. Tex
Richard of course, viii be a con
spicuous bidder. but unless he can
get the Yankee stadium, may not
care 10 erect a new arena capable Of
accommodating crowd such as
would witness a bout OF this magni-
tude. Jersey City is regarded as an
impractical site because the New
Jersey law Will not countenance a
charge Of more than SIS for the best
seats
Wills may take part in 3 bout or
two in the meantime. just as a
"convincer." if any is needed There
is no particular necessity for this.
but it IS we'll 10 get the citizens
worked up, in case their memories
happen to be a bit short II the new
governor is TO permit mixed heavy
weight bouts in this state, promoters
will also wish TO test public opinion
In advance by sending Wills against
some second rate white man.
Used rs Guagc.
The latter, Of course, will lose and
the pUblic's attitude toward such an
outcome will be the guage by which
the promoters Will guide themselves
in considering a Dempsey-Wills at
traction.
