About Fights
and Fighters
BY LEO II. LASSEN

TINE talk that a match be-
i tween Harry Wills and
Luis Firpo will be held soon,
the winner fighting Jack
Dempsey. must be taken
with a grain of salt.
For the simple reason that
Dempsey undoubtedly plans
to take on both men.
There is a limited supply
of heavyweight contenders
for Dempsey's title-Firpo,
Wills and Tommy Gibbons.
The loser of the proposed
Wills and Firpo fight would
be out of the question for a
Dempsey match and the
champion doesn't hate money
so much that he would inten-
tionally eliminate one of the
prospective opponents.
Dempsey win probably fight all
three men. but the champion, and
Jack Kearns. his willy manager. are
waiting for the summer season in
New York. where CROWD can be
obtained. And the pair OF Jacks
know perfectly well that even New
York would hardly contribute three
miillon.dollar gates in one short sum-
mer season.
So hence the staliing about a me
lee with Wills: and tho talk OF
wills.Firpo match must DO regarded
as so much fuel TO keep the heavy.
weight division before the public.
Ifwills and Firpo fight Il win be
a big upset. as neither would get tho
money that they would In fighting
Dempsey. and both would be taking
a chance OF being knocked out OF
Dempsey match. No. it's hardly
likely that Wills and Firpo viii meet
before Dempsey gets crack at both
OF them.
