is fast, shifty, clever. and carries a

DEMPSEY WILLS HACKERS
SUDDENLY COME TO LIFE
BY GEORGE A. STRICKLER
International News Service Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Dec. 14.-The proposed
Dempsey Wills match, which yester-
day smacked of nothingness, today
hazily revealed itself as reality
through disclosures tending to separ-
ate fiction from facts.
Evidence gathered during the last
4S hours is convincing that the South
Bend, Ind, syndicate" framed
through the responsiveness of FLOYD
Fitzsimmons, is financially sound.
Whether it is sincere in its attempt to
stage the bout in Northern Indiana or
vicinity is something at which one
may take a couple of guesses.
Statements by Ray Cannon, Mil
waukee attorney and adviser TO Demp-
sey, that the syndicate" is UMPIRE
pared TO meet guarantees agreed upon
at Niles, Mich, several weeks ago,
were branded as damn lics," by
Judge G. A. Farabaugh, attorney for
and member of the syndicate"
WANT TO GET OUT.
Out of the maze of facts and rumors
that have been entangling the fight
public for many months, careful in
vestigation leads to the following cno-
illusions
1. The Indiana Syndicate" may
stage the fight if it has to, yet the
members not only want to get ont
from UNDER" but a Chicago politician
has a virtual option on their contract
which will be exercised if Illinois leg
allies boxing this spring.
2. Under no circumstances will the
Indiana outfit sell the fight to Rick
ard or any eastern promoter.
3. Ray Cannon is on his way to
Los Angeles to inform Dempsey of the
possibility of staging the bout in Chi
cago and to see what terms Dempsey
will demand in regard to his avowed
intention that Fitzsimmons shall have
his cut Of whatever deal is made.
RICHARD FIGHTS 1T.
4. A bitter feeling has been engen-
dered in the West. where it is be-
lieved Richard has inaugurated u
careful campaign to "kill the fight be-
cause he does not want it." and at the
same time prevent establishment of q
big bout center in the West"
The Hoooier syndicate" would like
to get out from under the entire af-
fair not because OF money or the bout
itself, but because of the adverse crit
icism that has followed its attempts to
bring to reality sport dream of sew
eral years standing.
All of this criticism has had its
origin in interest united with the
ayowed intent of killing the fight at
any cost" Just why the Eastern pow
