~ HE quest for action by Jack
Dempsey might not be such a
l. bad move by the champion at
all. It's the unwritten law of the
ring that inactivity does more to
Il ar down the physique and ability
of champion than any one thing
else.
\ A champion must necessarily be
the best of his kind and a world's
heavyweight boxing king must pos
sess superb strength, wonderful speed
and enduring stamina. These three
essentials can be obtained and re-
tanned only through constant training
and battling.
Next sumner it will have been two
years since Dempsey fought a real
ring battle. OF course Dempsey has
remained in training and has APP
peared in sparring matches, but it
has been almost two years since he
sprang from his corner at the sound
Of the gong, in quest for his foes
blood.
Willy Jack Kearns seems to realize
the dangers of inactivity at last, and
the champions manager is in New
York, eagerly seeking action of some
kind. And it would seem that ac-
ton will soon be forthcoming, as Tex
Richard was willing to pay $1,000
Thursday for a six-day option on the
signature of Kearns for a titular
scrap.
II seems that competition for
an immediate battle with Demp-
sey seems TO have narrowed
down to three men, Harry Wills,
Jess Willard and Tom Gibbons,
with Dempsey demanding Wills,
Rickard suggesting willard, and
the public rather warm toward a
trial for Tom Gibbons. Despite
this warmness coward Gibbons,
which is strongest in New York
state, 1t is understood, 1t is prob
able that fandOm Mt large would
rather nee Wills or Willard in
action against Dempsey, as Tom
is n bit light for the champ.
Andy Jaffe. well known in local
athletic circles, has just returned
from a trip 10 New York. When ques-
toned concerning the big heavy
weight tumble, Andy stated: Harry
Wills is as smooth fighting ma
chine as / have ever seen; Floyd
Johnson is a powerful boy and packs
a great wallop, but he telegraphs his
blows woefully; Tom Gibbons is pop
ular favorite in New York state, but
everyone knows he is ighty light.
1t is hard to tell who will get the
bout, but you can take it from me,
whoever does is in for licking, be-
cause Dempsey is far superior to any
of the contenders now
