Dempsey here on any terms that may be arranged.
 q have seen both Dempsey and Wills in action many times, and, along with the opinion of many fol- lowers of boxing, I believe that Wills Is the only man in the ring today who can be classed as a worthy op-. ponent of the worlds champion
 Banner has been interested in pu- gilism for the last fifteen years. and for the last twelve years he has been following the sport as promoter and manager.
 Here in Denver he has prom oted successfully a number of the biggest battles staged within the Roeky- Mountain region.
 T have never staged a heavy, weight championship battle" said Kramer. That is one reason why ] am especially anxious to put on Dempsey Wills contest. Another reason is that I believe 1t would be the biggest fight ever staged in the world-certain1y better and more even fight than the battle of the ce tury' between Dempsey and Carpen- tier last July. Dempsey, as every one knew, outc1assed the Frenchman. but should he get into a ring win Wills he would meet a man who not only would be his equal in every way, but who also might defeat the cham pfon-"

If they come through and I succeed in making a trade for another pitcher, a right handler, I am sure we will be in the first division. I was hoping to make a deal with the Giants for a pitcher and may succeed in closin g one before we go on our training trip. Aside from the pitching staff I think I am all set to give Cincinnati a pen nant contender"
