the metropolis, he could not find
more logical spot than the Quaker City
for such major operations. The Shelby
debacle coming a few years after the
financial failure of the Dempsey-Wil-
lard battle at Toledo, has convinced
promoters that a great heavyweight
championship cannot be successfully
presented anywhere but on the Allan
tic seaboard.
Philadelphia is central, a great
fight town itself, it is within two
hours of New York City and it's TEEN

hours distance, Baltimore two, and
Boston to Philadelphia and Pitts

These facts together with the abso-

turned his eyes toward Philadelphia
recently and the fact that recent rul

moves the ban from mixed bouts in
Pennsylvania are evidenced enough
| that there is something brewing.
