Those close to Willard take with
Q grain of salt the announcement
: from kearns that the champion is
going to make a picture before
talking fight with any rival.
1t was only month ago that
Dempsey and Willard had a long
talk about meeting again in the
roped arena. This was following
gigantic vaudeville and boxing
show staged by the Los Angeles
american Legion for the benefit
Of disabled war heroes.
Willard appeared at this show
with Tom Kennedy, a former heavy
weight who has since deserted the
canvas bedecked ring for the mo-
ton pictures.
Dempsey was stopped from box
ing at the performance because of
q theatrical contract. However, he
put in an appearance. Both fight
ers were well received by the for
mer doughboys and their friends.
In that interview Dempsey as
eured Jess that he was the one
lndfV1dual he would give cOnsidera-
ton IN talking business for his
next bout. It was the UNDER
standing he would be given the
Iect . fun camp Of handlers and
travel the Northwest to Condition
himself for his entrance into
Gotham with . demand that
Richard stage q return match
with Dempsey for him.
Ray Archer had long talk with
Tex Rfckard yesterday. He told in
detail all that transpired at this
meeting. After the talk Richard
appeared to feel that Just as soon
as q public demand for the match
IL forthcoming Jack Dempsey will
listen to all bona fide offers.
Following this talk Richard sent
another message to Kearns urging
him to give Willard some sort of
definite plans to work on. This Is
the return message that Richard is
expecting today. Until it comes
nothing positive can be done by
Willard or Richard.
Willard allowed the information |
70 be sent out by his handlers that |
ne does not want to enter into
negotiations with any other fight |
ers for a match until he has had a |
positive rundown from Dempsey.
The TACT that quite a number Of |
individuals have been recommend I
ing that Jess meet one or two of |
the best heavyweights before taking
Dempsey on have not made any
deep impression on the former |
champion.
He wants to be assured that
Dempsey will not meet him before
he talks turkey" with any other |
fighter.
1T Jack says that Willard must /
meet some other individual before |
he viii take him on in the ring |
the Kansan will obIige by accent |
ing the fighter the public picks |
Is his opponent.
However, for the present, he has
no intention of talking fight with |
any one but Dempsey or his man.
ager, Jack Kearns.
Yesterday was quiet one in the |
Willard camp. Jess put on his
woolens" and took a long tramp
through Central Park. The former
champion must have covered fifteen
miles in the heavy footing. He
came back to his hotel a mass OF
perspiration and very tired indi-
Y1dual. After a shower and rub
down he was refreshed with a long
nap. Following this he had dinner
and then attended the movies.

"He Would Never Do"

N took in a matinee, while
AVA went to the gym" to look
over the prospective sparring

conditioning stunts and saw him
box three rounds. That was
enough!
/ decided then and there HE
WOULD NEVER Do.
He was too good-certainly toe
good-for a boy on the road tt
the welterweight championship
as Melody was al that time
After looking him over, joined
Melody and Clifford for dinner.
"Honey" asked, "Well, will the
kid do for a sparring partner"
Positively not" / replied
"He's a long, awkward, gawky
guy, who is Just as apt to hit
you on the ankle or the knee as
anywhere else. Pm afraid we
might meet with an accident, fool
ing with a bird like him."
We went ahead with our Nc.
earthly engagement minus a spar
ring partner.
Melody defeated Mccarthy.
The "raw recruit" knocked out
Sid Lafontise in seven rounds.
Had we engaged the "raw re-
cruit" for q sparring partner, as
contemplated, and he had dis
covered his ability to defeat Mel
lody, he would have gone to a
Butte paper (as per custom)
posted a substantial forfeit and
challenged the Boston boy with
the result that Melody would
have had to meet him or elbow"
the town.
We had not gone all the way to
Butte, a distance Of 5000 miles,
to discover or exploit, at our ex-
pense, any "raw recruit"
Neither the "raw recruit" nor
his admirers realized what we
knew.
So the next dav we we're Frisco
bound, and the raw recruit" had
missed his first big opportunity.

Honey" Melody.
We went from Boston to Butte,
Mont, to box a local boy named
Jerry Mccarthy. It is customary,
owing to the high altitude Of
Montana, for a visiting athlete to
be there at least two weeks prior
to the engagement, in order that
he may become acclimated.
When we arrived we began
looking for a suitable sparring
partner to work out with Melody.
Jerry Clifford, the Butte pro-
moter, suggested a young fellow
who was training at "Dunc" Nc
lDonald's gymnasium, for a bout
with another Butte boy, named
Sid Lafontise.

Undoubtedly the main cause Nof
this condition IS q larger playing
membership than the course can
properly accommodate, but there
are other causes that are very I'M
portant factors and which can and
ought to be eliminated.
Congestion on the course due
entirely to an excessively large
membership Is trying, but we all
know that on certain days when
circumstances cause 3 majority
Of the players to begin about the
same time Il is unavoidable.
As rule, therefore, delays at the
starting point are met with patience
and good humor, but congestion
and delays on the course brought
about by slow and Indifferent play

etiquette of the game and who
have no respect for the rights and
privileges of other members are

Il there are more players than q
course can properly accommodate
there win be congestion even
though every player starts promptly
