the result of the Wills-Ma1Gen bout

With Wills in the form he showed
on Monday night in Long Island City
what picking he would have been
for Dempsey, Oh. boy, The fans
would have filed into the arena bX
tens of thousands and Dempsey could
have pulled down half a million or
more-and at the same time added 10
his prestige.

get the fans worked up to the point
where a big money Dempsey-wills
battle will be feasible for any pro-
moter. Harry may improve as a re-
suit of this fight-he had not had
real battle in several years But
1T Will be hard to convince the fans.
F1ghtgoers usually have wrong

color and the natural hardness OF
their skulls gives the impression that
they are tougher than the whites and
harder to hurt But this is not at
