Veterans Do Not Want Bout On Memorial Day

BOSTON. Jan. 12.-Reports that May 30, Memorial Day, Is being con- sidsred as the date for a Dempsey Gibbons fight brought forth protest from representative veterans of the Civil. Spanish and World war here.
 Memorial Day, the veterans main tained, should be sacred to the mem ory of the dead and not "profaned" by prize fighting. The proposed date for the fight particularly aroused Eben W. Pike. assistant adjutant- general of the state G. A. R., who issued a statement in which he de- clared "the Grand Army of the Re- public is strictly opposed to making the day day of sports of any ma ture.''
 Suggestion for Memorial Day as suitable for the fight was attributed to Jack Kearns. Dempsey's manager, in dispatches from New York.

Promoter Seeks Matches Be- tween Firpo And Wills And Dempsey And Wills Next Summer

{ NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-(By Asso- ciated Pres.)--Harry Wills, New Orleans negro heavyweight, has been made an offer of s3oo.0o0 by Tex Rickard for fights next summer with Luis Angel Firpo and Jack Demp- sey.
 The promoter made this announce ment tonight. adding at the same time that conferences through an in- termediary with Wills and the ne- gro's manager. Paddy Mullins. 70 far had failed to effect an agree ment. < I
 offer, confident that he can dispose of Firpo and earn . match with the champion for which he has been seeking two years in vain. Mullins. however. has baked at any propo- sition calling for an elimination test. insisting that Wins is % ,sn- ther preliminaries. Richards re- fusal to agree to this has produced a deadlock, which. 1t is believed may keep Wills in the back ground of the 1924 heavyweight program as he was in 1922 and 1928.
 Richards offer calls for . guar
  with Firpo around July 1. and, if the negro wins, a $200.000 guarantee for a title fight with Dempsey in September. Both bouts would be staged in the Metropolitan district. It also was understood that Rickard desired to match, Wills with George Godfrey, Philadelphia negro. for . preliminary test.
 Another bidder for wilis-Ffrpo or Wills Gibbons bout entered the field tonight when the National Sports mems club of Newark. N. J.. an- nounced it was prepared to stage either contest on May and offer . guarantee of $100.0o0 to either Firpo or Gibbons, thus matching Richards proposition. %.
 After conference, with represen- tatives of the Newark club, Mullins tentatively agreed to the offer on behalf of Wills, who would receive a substantial per rcentage for his end but it twas believed the New Jersey promoters would encounter difficult ty in signing either Gibbons or Fir DO, both of whom have agreements for fig hts with Rickard. Gibbons al- ready has consented to a match with Dempsey here early in June. while Firpo last year signed to box Wills either in this country or in the Ar genuine
 .MuIlens was quoted tonight as de- handing $5oo,000 for Wills to fight Dempsey and from $250,000 to $300.- 900 to meet Firpo under Richards management in addition to a share of the motion picture and other rights. The negro's manager said the Newark promoters have a man in Buenos Aires seeking an agree ment with Firpo and if the South | American and Wills meet in Newark the latter will sign 8 contract for a percentage purse.
