Wills, according to Rickard. de-
clared his Willingness to accept the
offer, confident that he can dispose
of Firpo and earn a match with the
champion, for which he has been
seeking two years In vain. Mullins
however, has baked at any PROPOSE
tion calling for an elimination test,
insisting that Wills is entitled to
meet Dempsey without further pre-
liminaries Richards refusal to
agree TO this has produced, a dead
lock which, 1T is believed, may keep
Wills in the background of the 1924
heavyweight program, as he was In
1922 and 1928. :.
What Rickard Guarantees.
Richards offer calls for a guaran-
tee of 100000 to Wills for a fight
with F'irpo around July 4; if the ne
gro wins, a 100000 guarantee for a
title fight with. Dempsey in Septem-
ber. Both bouts would be staged in
the metropolitan district 1t also
was understood that Rickard desired
to match Wills with George Godfrey,
Philadelphia negro, for a preliminary
test.
Another bidder for a Wilis-Firpo
or Wills Gibbons bout entered the
field tonight. when the National
Sportsmen's Club of Newark, N. J.,
announced it was prepared to stage
either contest on May and offer a
guarantee of 100000 to either Firpo
or Gibbons, thus matching Rickard' 8
proposition.
After a conference with representa-
tives of the Newark club Mullins ten
tatively agreed to tho offer on behalf
of Wills, who would receive a sub
stantial percentage for his end, but
1t was believed the New Jersey pro-
moters would encounter difficulty in
signing either Gibbons. OF .F'irpo, both
of whom have agreements for fights
with Rickard. Gibbons already had
consented to match with Dempsey
here early in June, while 'Firpo last
year signed to box Wills, either in
this country or the Argentine.
Mullins Demands Plenty.
Mullins was quoted tonight as de-
manding s500,00o for Wills to fight
Dempsey and from $250.000 to $780,
900 to meet Firpo under Richards g
mana cement, in addition to a share
of the motion picture and other
rights. The negro's manager said
the Newark promoters have q man in
Buenos Aires seeking an agreement
with Firpo and if the South American
and Wills meet in Newark, the latter
will sign a contract for a percentage
purse.
