His confidence in the success of

The promoter repeated his assert ON

Dempsey is said to have made to

Dempsey says that he is willing
to mix with Wills after he has fin

of the outdoor season. Kearns says
that he is willing for Dempsey to box
twice within three weeks providing
that reputable, responsible prom o.
ter comes forward with suitable
ELS-for the bout.
Dempsey says that he is willing

"Wi11s is being advanced as my only
opponent. That's agreeable to me
L guess Wills is agreeable to getting
crack at the title. too, so that puts
1T up to the promoters"
Jim Jab, a sport writer for the
Pittsburgh Press, says:
Whats the use of all this hub
bub about Wills-Dempsey match
1t Will never be. Dempsey is not
going to take long chance on his
title like that And besides, there
is tacit understanding among white
men not to permit a Negro chance
at the championship. Wills will
never get his chance"

DAMON RUNNOE. NOTED SPORT WRITER SAYS
Wills LOST HIS CHANCE BY RING INACTIVITY

had Langford on the floor 1t was
a desperate battle for fourteen rounds
when Langford knocked out Wills,
then comparatively inexperienced :.
The writer thinks Wills, in his old
condition, would give Dempsey a
good fight. Perhaps Wills would beat
Dempsey if Dempsey is punching no
better than he punched against Tom
Gibbons at Shelby.
But Wills and his handlers can
not hope to secure match with
Dempsey, or with Firpo, if Firpo
takes the title from Dempsey, by
sitting idly down and watching the
pugihstic ball roll down. Wills. pro-
perly managed, is a 100000 year
plant. BUT a nOn-productive plant
pays mighty few dividends in prize
fighting or anything else"

(Preston News Servlce)
NEW Work. CITY. August s.
Damon Runyon, writing for the In
iversal Service, has drawn a rather
different inference for Wills inability
to obtain fight with Champion
lack Dempsey, and while there are
hundreds of readers who disagree
with him, still the mans version is
worth consideration. 1t follows in
part:
LAS the reader we'll knows, the
writer has always had much sympa-
thy with Harry Wills in his effort to
secure a match with Jack Dempsey
for the heavyweight championship.
Much attention has been given to
WILLS claims in this column. The
right of Wills, and every other col
ored man or fighter to matches with
the best of the white fighters has al
ways been strongly upheld; the ''col-
or-line' in sports always decried.
But Wills has been asleep on his
past few months.
HE has not fought since he met
Glenn Johnson in disappointing
bout i'm Madison Square Garden
months ago. BY his own inactivity
"
out of obscurity and steal the thun-
der that should have belonged to
him. There is nothing occult in Sc
curing big matches. The fighter
who makes himself a drawing card
by FIGHTING. by keeping his name
constantly before the public. That's
all there is to it. In all that uproar
the only voice that was silent, the
only heavyweight hand not lifted in
action. was the voice and hand Of
Harry Wills. Whose fault was it,?
Wills was offered and declined
matches with George Godfrey, Floyd
johnson and Jack Renault, among
others.
SHOULD FIGHT ONLY DEMPSEY
''He seemed to take the attitude
that he should fight only Jack Demp
sey, that the world owed him that
match. Yet he has done nothing to
prove he retains the old ability that
made him for time the foremost
contender. He had not been above
fighting such men as Buddy Jackson
Tut Jackson and Glen Johnson be-
fore that. Perhaps he based his
claim to a match with Dempsey on
his victories over these opponents.
Perhaps he based it on his 3-round
defeat of Fred Fulton.
CITES JACK JOHNSON'S CASE.
John Arthur Johnson. seeking al
match with the white champion,
wasted no time crying about the re-
lentlessnehs of Tommy Burns, the
title holder. John Arthur Johnson
climbed on a boat and chased Burns
clear to Australia. And it is not of
record that John Arthur Johnson
overlooked any. opportunities prior
to his visit to Australia 10 take a shot
at any other aspiring fighters that
came his way.
John Arthur Johnson, in Wills
position, would probably long ago
have had the match with Dempsey
by the expedient of making it impos-
sible for Dempsey to deny him and
still call himself champion of the
world. The writer thinks Wills is a.
good fight er-he is thoroughly game
