MESS E

L u WOULD seem that there is not
as much opposition to a return
bout between Jess Willard and
Jack Dempsey as Bill Muldoon,
chairman of the New York boxing
commission, and some of other THU
lar contenders would wish.
A definite step was taken by the
National Boxing association officials
at their annual confab Monday and
Tuesday in deciding to keep hands
off the affair. They decided not to
set an age limit for boxers. and that
ruling on another Willard Dempsey
bout was beyond their Jurisdiction.
Bill Muldoon, who has proven the
car of boxing in New York state.
at least. recently barred Willard
from boxing In that state, stating
he was over age.
II Muldoon expected Endorsement
of his action by N. B. A. officials, he
was certainly disappointed, for they
put no barrier in the way of another
Willard Dempsey bout.
Random itself does not seem
inclined to frOvn on another
chance for Big Jess. II willard
should overcome some worthy
opponent In a trial bout, to test
his ability after his recent
comeback" training program, IL
is highly probable that there
would be a demand for another
WilIard-Dempsey scrap.
Here's what Joe Villa, New York
fighting critic, has to say about the
affair:
If Jess Willard first defeats
one of the heavyweight contend
ers, the New Jersey boxing COM
mission will permit him to meet
Jack Dempsey, world champion,
in that state next summer.
The Jersey solons will not bar
Willard because of his age. They
will accept his word of honor
that he is 36 years old and will
not sustain William Muldoon's
action in barring the gigantic
cowboy from glove contests IN
der the rules and regulations of
the New York state athletic COM
missions, on the ground that
Jess is too old to fight.
There Is not doubt that box
ing fans are in sympathy with
Willard in his desire to tackle
Dempsey again. When Willard
was introduced to 1900 specta-
tors in Madison Square Garden
last Friday night he received
one of the greatest ovations ever
accorded to a professional boxer.
He was wildly cheered for sew
eral minutes by the crowd, which
evidently regarded the Muldoon
edict with dfsfavor.
