SET
AGAINST ALL
PRESENT BOUTS
High Financial Methods Pur-
sued BY Promoters Is Reason
For Prohibiting Fights.

NYEW YORK. Feb. s.-WiIliam
M Muldoon. chairman Of the
Il ~ New York State Boxing Com
mission, declares that while he is
head of the boxing board there VIII
be no match between Dempsey and
Harry Wills in New York.
He has also announced that q
Dempsey-WiIlard battle will not be
countenanced, nor any other Demp-
sey fight so long as the present
high financial methods pursued by
promoters, managers and boxers are
permitted.
Mr.. Muldoon not only attacked
the promoters. fighters and man.
ayers, but said that the newspapers
were largely to blame for the abb
normal condition that now prevails
in connection with purses and the
prices being asked for seats.
He intimated that a movement
was afoot in Albany to fix the price
OF ringside seats at limit OF 20.
A bill, according to Mr.. Muldoon,
is now being drawn along these
lines and will be presented to the
unless some radical move
is made by clubs and promoters
with view to bringing about a
revision. in the scale OF
purses and the price Of seats.
Mr.. Muldoon said that it was not
his intention to bar any particular
bout, but that he intended to stop
all such encounters in which the
element Of high finance played the
principal part.
He added that the commission
had drawn no color line and was
not going on record as barring
Harry Wills or any other colored
fighter. The mention of the Wills
Dempsey affair in his statement is
due to the fact that 1t Is the most
battle and the one that
is creating the most interest in the
matter of money.
