Nevertheless he is being hard pres

for two years from the pugilistic I'm

mite step toward reaching his goal OF
title match with Jack Dempsey,
When he signed with Tex Richard for
two bouths this summer.
Richard. in the most important pro-
nouncement so far affecting the 1924
heavyweight program. disclosed that
Wills had signed for a match in June

other foreign prospects, and also. If
successful in this test, for title con-
test with Dempsey in September.
Firpo's recent declaration of his in

only hitch in the way of match be-

Regardless OF the opponent selected
for Wills. however. it is understood
Richard plans to match the winner
with Dempsey. He admitted todaS
that no contract had been signed as
yet with Jack Kearns. the chlmpion's
manager. but indicated hesanticipeteu
little difficulty in this direction.
Meanwhile, Richards action was
viewed as disposing of prospect that

would stage Wills-Dempsey match
at Tia Juana. Mexico.

series Of differences between the pair.

however, that the negro was guaran-

Mullins previously had rejected
Richards bid of $4,000 for Firpo
bout and countered with a demand Tor
20 per cent of the receipts. Color TO
the acceptance of the latter proposition
was given by Mullins statement that
his terms had been met and Rickard
