last week when he learned that Paddy

proposed Milk Fund fight with Glib

cept the offer until he is positive that
there Is no chance Of Dempsey return
ing to the ring.
Kearns claims that II Dempsey
should fight Wills before the latter has
whipped Gibbons, the match would
not draw within so per cent Of the
gate it would attract with a victory
for the New Orleans Panther over the
St. Paul heavyweight.
There has been, and still i, such
"A demand for a Wills-Gibbons fight"
continued Kearns, that / am sure a
majority Of the fans would consider
Wills afraid Of Tom if he spurns the
offer made by the promoters Of the
Milk Fund show. And, If the public
gets this idea I went ahead and
matched Dempsey with Wills. we'd NJ
lucky to draw $4,000 gate.
But let Wills prove he is Gibbons
master and then Mullins will find me

1t is gratifying to the people OF
our group to know that the Supreme
Court of the state Of Virginia has
been honest enough to reverse the
bias conviction Of the venerable editor,
John j. Mitchell, Jr., who was
convicted in Hasting County, Va,
charged with misusing funds Of
the Merchants Saving Bank.
The court ruled that the prosecu-
ton had failed to prove Editor Nit
chelrs guilt and directed that the
lower court grant a new trial. It Is
to Be hoped that should there be
new trial that the editor will at least
be tried upon law and evidence.
Editor Mitchell has been the man
Of service to the Negro race in the
state Of Virginia.

The destructive winds are the fore
