Sporting Editor.

Dear sir:
After being attracted by your
column of opinions as to re-match
between Dempsey and Willard, /
would like to make a few state
ments. In my opinion your per-
sonal article of a few days ago
was very much justified. First,
it is duty Of the sporting writ
ers, who have an additional adj
vantage through personal contact
of judging the ability of the fistic
aspirants, to inform the public.
Very often the public is mis-
Informed as to the real ability and
character of the gentleman aspir-
ing to top honors and as the
average fan who is interested In
the promotion Of clean sports
has no other means of knowiedre
other than the sportir~ sheet, YOU
should be commenced for your
candid published o0i~ -. Per.
sonally l am In accor,. with your
attitude, Willard should not be
allowed to fight again.
